We present a* grievance, the conduft of
William German, and Redwin Blunt, for ha\-
in ‘ unjustly taken and earned away from the
plantation of Mr. Hugh Brown, astray Cow,
a nd killed hercon.raiy to the fptrit and mean
■L of the law in that case made and proved.
Ve prelent as a great gnevar.ee, the number
f per lons now redding m this county, vmn
rmt any viftble means cf Support, and recom
mend that the Juliices do carry the vagrant
law into effeft, agamft all Such.
Wc recommend to the o-hcers, commanding
the militia in each diftrift m this county, to
have the patrole law enforced.
We present. Nat Iran A.kuifon, as living in
contrary to a special law of this state,
by cohabiting with his wile’s daughter, winch
Lid wife is now a live. ‘
In answer to his honor the Judges charge—
We arc convinced that much depends on the
regular adminiUration of jullice in this, county,
and have to lament, that the laws of this Ita
are but seldom furnilhedto the julticcs, wher*--
bv the benefit ariftng from, an equal admimi
tration of justice has been often delayed.
Your presence, fir, in this county, fills our
minds with the piecing pro Sped, that a due
obedience to the laws and good order, will,
fuccccd your labors for the public good.
With refpeit to the (peeillation in lands,’
and the sale made by the lcgillature, have to
observe, that the public mind being much agi
tated by the late attack on public faith, we
rest our hope of. future tranquility, on the
jullice and wisdom of legal constituted autho
rities.
This state having failed in her n~gocciation
with the Creek Indians, we hope a proper en
quiry will be made, on that fubjetf.
VVe are happy to have the opportunity of
alluring your honor, that we view with a live
ly pieaiure, that part of your charge to the
Grand Jury, which recommend a due obedi
ence to the laws of the United S.ates, and of
mis state, and to cultivate that degree of confi
dence with our fellow citizens, from every
oart of this country, which alone can insure
our happinels.
We request that these, our prefent ments,
together with his honor, the Judges charge,
maybe publilhed in this state Gazettes.

COUNCIL e/FIVE HUNDRED.
18 Mcjjidor, , July 6.
The following meflface was delivered
from the Executive Directory to the
Council of Five Hundred.
“ Citizens L gdlalors,
“ Viiftcry is as faithful to the repub
lic in Germany, as (lie has been in Italy.
We have to announce to you a battle
gained at Renghen.
“ The army of the Rhine and Mo
selle, after its brilliant paflage of the
B.hine, had fuccefsfully engaged in seve
ral combats, which were the prelude to
the raoft important operations. A ge
neral battle took place on the 10th at
Renchen. The republican troops al
ternately employed, in imitation of the
chiefs who commanded them, (hewed
that national boldness which overthrows
every thing that oppefes its impetuosi
ty, and that u;i(haken courage which re
fi'ts every effort. The enemy left in
the power of the French io pieces of
cannon, 1200 prisoners, 600 horses, and
a field of battle covered with dead
bodies. Their less is enormous. Such
is the expreilion of Moreau, the com
mander in chief.
“ The army of the Sambrc and Meuse
did net remain a pafltve fpedbttor of the
victorious march of that of the Rilin'-
and Moselle. The division which had
fallen back behind the Rhine, forcibly
repafled that river at Cologne, between
Coblentz and Andernach. A corps ot
the enemy which defended the Right
Bank, was compelled to fly with pre
cipitation.
** The dirc&ory invites you, citizens
legislators, to fix your looks with confi
dence on these two brave and powerful
armies, which, after having humbled
and punifiied Austria and England, will
reduce them to the impoflibility of pro
ionging a disastrous war, and are prepar
ing by their triumphs the conditions of
a peace at once durable and glorious for
’ the republic.”
Dmnolard immediately rose —“ You
will doubtless (said he) hallcn to answer
these new triumphs by new testimonies
of esteem and gratitude. These tri
umphs are the more pleating to you, be
osufc, as the<lirc&ory fay in their mef
iage, they form an opening to that peace
which France defircs, and which Eu-
r °pe needs. This wilh, on our part,
will not be considered as a proof of
weakness. It is glorious to hold out to
our enemies the Olive Branch of Peace,
‘• v Lcn our temples are crowned with the
Lurels of viclory. I move that you de
r?re that the armies of the Rhine and
-and of the Sambrc and Meuse,
not cease to defer ve well of their
•‘■Gantry.”
the members rose at the fame mo-
Columbian iFlufeum, £?c.
Dumolard drew up his proposition,
the words of which (fays the editor of
the Paris Journal) we ‘literally tranf
eribe.The excellent spirit and the ve
ry terms of this resolution appear to us
tc conilitute an epoch, not lei's intereit
ing in itfeif, than honorable to the lc
g illative body.
“ The Council of Five Hundred,
considering that every virtory obtained
by our brave armies, gives the republic
an opening to the conclpfion of an liono
rabie and solid peace ; and to all the
people of Europe, a pledge of thefpeedy
ctffation of the deltrifetive scourge of
war; declares, that the'amves of the
Rhine and Moselle, ur.d'of the Sambre
and Meuse, continue to deserve well 01
their country, and that the present refo
union (hall be printed, and carried by
a irate meiienger to the council of
elders.”

General Buonaparte is said to have
been formerly aftudent of medicine, and
it is certain that by fending the Italian

of having removed complaints oj very

Five hundred tri-coloured flags have
been manufactured at Madrid, for the

KINGSTON, September 1
Wc are lorry indeed, to underhand, that
what we hoped had been a mere fiction, with
regard to a rupture with Spain, will likely turn
out too true. The dispatches brought to lord
we underiland, dated Gibraltar, Ju
ly 28 Th p y mention that, irom exilting cir
cumstances and appearances, a Spaniih war is
inevitable. They likcwile mention that the
French iorqcs are in poffcffion of Leghorn and
Genoa, the former of which place they are for
tifying, and that, from the ciitlc.rbed llate of
Corficdj the English found it'beft to have ev“ry
thing ready, to evacuate that island ; the trans
ports were already victualled and watered, to
convey the troops from thence to Gibraltar,
which place, in case of a rupture, would Hand
in need of thci^afliftanCe.
The hatred the Spaniih Colonists pmfefit to
wards the French doftrine of fraternization
gives us every reason to hope that the inhabi
tants in tlie Spaniih part of St. Domingo, wnt
to a man, declare for the Engiilh.

B O S T O N, September 5.
Arrived on Friday lalt, the ichooner I.ucy
capt. Beatley, 30 days from Guadaloupr.
Captain Beatley’s cargo, confiding chiefly
oi provnlons, was purchased by the French
tommiffaries and punctually paid for, as was
alio all the cargoes that arrived there within
his knowledge. In (hort, the Americans were
treated with the utinoftjuftice and tricndfhip
by Victor Ilugues and the other officers in
puadaloupe.
Captain Beatley informs—that an nftion took
place, off tlie Bay of Bafleteire, on the 24th of
July, between a French privateer, and an
English brig; the Frenchman mounting 6 four
pounders and carrying 28 men, the brig 12.
nines and fixe*, aijd 25 men. ihe action lalt
rd about 30 minutes before the English ealled
lor quarters, the captain losing his life after he
had struck his colors. The French 101 l one
man—the Britilh had several wounded in
boarding, though none killed except the cap
tain.
He further informs, that four days previous
to the above, a long and fevcrc engagement
happened between an English frigate, called
the Beaulieu, of 44, but carrying 48 guns, and
a French frigate carrying 40 guns. Tlie ac
tion lasted three hours, or thereabouts, but a
74 coming down relieved the English, other
wile fire mult have been carried into Baflfeterre
—the adtion being fought but two leagues
from that bay. The republican's landed the
fame day—having about fifty wounded, and
uear the fame number killed. Capt. Beatley
iaw three men the day after, who had deferied
the English man of war ; they told him the
B-aulieu had loft one hundred men, as far as
lhry could understand.
Accounts from Cayenne, informs, that the
lamous Collotd’Hcrbois, and Billaud Varen
nes, have died iuddenly in that colony.
NEW-YORK, September c;.
Mr. Munroe, is undoubtedly recalled.
A letter from Paris of June 7, flares
that “ the Executive Directory oi France
have net the moft favorable opinion of
the abi’ities of the American miniiler.
By late letters from Jamaica, vve are
informed, the Jfland is very sickly—the
extreme drought continues, and numbers
of cattle die daily ; which from their pu
trid effluvia, lias caufeda dangerous Epi
demic, that atFeffs the inhabitants in gen
eral, as well as the new comers. The
south fide of the Island does not furnifh
any vegetables or plantations, and Guin
ia corn is as high as a piflole per bulhel.
A vcflel has arrived at Haddam, on
Connecticut river, with the yellow fev
er on board, which has commnnicated
to the inhabitants of that small village,
and carried off several persons ; and
Monday lall, there was upwards of
twenty sick. This ought to be a cau
tion to admitting vefiels in our ports
with such little lerutiny as has been
heretofore cbfervedat this season of the
year from the Weft-India Iflauds, all of
whom are now said to be more or less
visited by that dreadful calamity.
PROVIDENCE, August 27.
( By a gentleman of undoubted veraci
ty from Cape-Nichola Mole, we are in
formed that 117 British Officers died
there from the *2il to the 17th ult. and
that the mortality among the troops had
been prpportionably great.
A letter from a British officer of dra
goons at the Mole mentions, that of the
regiment to which Jie belongs, only 3
officers befidc himfelf furvivc.
NEWBERN, August 27.
Extrafl from the Log-Book of Captain’
Alexander Dugutd, <zvbo arrived here
on 1 hurfday laf,frcm St. Thomas’.
On the 3d of August, being in lat. 19*
long. 65, at 8 o’clock in the morning,
law a fliip to the windward, bearing
down, iny American colours in the
shrouds ; at 10, she came up and fired a
(hot over me, and without any apparent
endeavour to prevent it on her part, and
notwithftar.ding my. utmost exertions to
prevent it, immediately ran over my
lloop, stoved in the broad fide, and left
her on her beam ends. I saved myfelf
with my crew, by clinging to, and
climbing up the head and bows of the
ship, which proved to be the British fri
gate P Aimable. Some short time after,
the frigate’s topfaii was thrown to the
matt, by which the way of the (hip be
ing flopped, the (loop righted. The
commander of the frigate then ordered
me with my people, on board the flopp,
to pump her out, she being near one
third full, by being overfet :and after I
‘.ad been a short lime aboard, heordeted
me back with the sloops papers. I
went accordingly, and after having ex
amined my papers, he threw them down
in a paflion, faying to me : You d — d
> ajeal , hov) dare you carry me so far io the
l • ward,g: t out of ny cabbinyou d—d Yan
t’ce rafeal , go 0. board of your jloop, fnk
and be d — d, you d—d Yankee rafeal. I
left the cabbin, and coming on the quar
er deck, fubmi(lively alked his name,
and that of the frigate, but he perempto
lly refufed answering, and repeating
vis former abuiivc language, ordered me
;nt of the ship, telling me to go off and
1 .end his people and boat back, (mine
having stoved and loft in the rencontr c )
and to fink and be d—d.
One ot the men, who was sick before,
when the sloop was run over, being
thrown out ot his birth,fell in the water,
which filled the cabbin, and soon after
wards died. The cargo which confiiteJ
c hicily otiugar, was much damaged.
