that 3 or 4 English transports had arrived at Mar
tinique from St. Lucia, with disabled troops; and
that orders were received at Batbadoes for a rein*
forcemeat.
Capt. Morton further informs, that a 20 gun
Clip of the Cork victualling fleet, arrived at Bar
badoes, which about 5 or 6 days fail to windward
fell in with a French squadron of 6 (hips of the line,
and 7 frigates, that captured a part and was suppo
sed the whole, of the Cork fleet with provisions,
as the above-mentioned (hip is the only one known
to have escaped.
AUGUSTA, May 28.
We hear from Louifvillc that the treaty with
the Creek Indians was to commence early in June.
The following resolution puffed, in the Houje of Repre
sentatives, on the 6th injl. by a majority of 13.
** Resolved, That by the authenticated documents
accompanying the meflage from the pref.deut of the
United States to this house, on the Bth day of the
present month, and bv the ordinance of congress
bearing date the 13th of July 1787, and by the law
of the United States paflfed the 26th of May 1790, .
it appears, that the citizens of that part of the U
nited States which has been called the territory of
the United States fouth of the river Ohio, and which
is now formed into aftate, under a republican form
of government, by the name of Tenneflee, arc en
titled to all the rights and priviledges to which the
citizens of other dates in the Union, are entitled
under the constitution of the United States, and
that the state of Tenneflee, is hereby declared to
be one of the sixteen United States of America/*
Advice more just than faftiionable.
By a Lady.
NEVER,—if you would obtain the approba
tion of the worthy, never betray the smallest symp
tom of that vulgar, and depraved opinion, that,
dltrattion from others can add to your own merit.
No beauty, though ever so perfeft ; no under
loading, though ever so complete; no principles,
however apparently just, but would, in such a con
duct, lose their own value in the estimation of all
the virtuous.
For it is impofilble to believe that the bosom, to
which meanness, envy, and uncharitableness are not
Jlrangers, can be a bosom calculated for iriendftiip,
for faith, or for a perseverance in virtue.
Conclusion of a,: Address on a particular occasion
in time of the late war.
Benevolence; cause of our existence, and source of
our felicity! The heavens (hall pass away; the
earth, also, and all the wonderocs works therein,
shall fail.—More awful ftiil, even the elements
lhallbe diflolved. But thou; through all eternity,
lhalt thou remain.
In all the great and wonderful works of wisdom's
fair creation, we trace thee. But chiefly art thou
vilible in the mystic, yet glorious plan of redemp
tion. Man railed from death, refeued from the
captivity of fatan; and, blefled change! Turned
to his God! How glorious! llow beneficent!
Thou teacheft man to live in amity with man;
and thou enabled—blefled and glorious ad! thou
enabled even enemies to forgive!
It is thou that kindleth the generous flame, by
which the widow, and the fatherlef3 are relieved ;
and to those, who are without help, thou fendetli
power and succor. It is thou, that dried up the
tears of anguilh; and that makeft the forrowt’ul of
heart to leap for joy.
Thou carried the patriot soldier to the field, in
defence of his country, and of the rights of man
kind; and there thou giveft him, (supreme delight!)
thou giveft him to weep over the vanqui(hed (lain.
And thus, by thine inchanting powers, thou makeft
even forrozo pleasing.
The negleded, and woe-begone captive thou fir.dcft
out, and, by thy all chearful influence, thou illu
mined his darkling cell.—And teaching our hearts
to disregard the transient hollow pleasures of this
vain world, thou raifeft them to the heaven of
heavens. Thou prepared our minds for bliss; and
thou giveft us a sweet foretafte of those happy re
gions, where pleasures forever new forever flow.
Where when we (hall have overcome death, that
glorious flame, divine love, (hall inspire, and wholly
possess our fouls; and'where, having joined the
bled, immortal choir, vve (hall enraptured sing
hallelujahs to his great name, who fitreth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and for ever.

BASLE, March 9,
I have jaft learnt the moll important news from
a corrcfpondent, who informs me exaftly of every
thing which palTes. He writes to me that Baron
D. Inglellrom, who arrived lately from London
has been for fomc time in Paris, and is now on his
way to Vienna. It is believed, that he had some
conferences with Mr. Pitt on the fubjed of peace;
the result of which he has made known to the French
government.
It is Faid, that Mr. Pit: gave him to understand,
that England would consent to the disunion of Bel
gium; but that he infills upon an indemnification
for the expences of the war, viz. Corsica, the
Cape of Good Hope, and the Dutch eftablilhments
in the East-Indies; to which the French govern
ment would never accede. .
All the rumours refpeding the march of a Prulfian
army towards the Rhine, are without foundation.
The king of Prulfia has too much to fear from the
ambitious Chatherine to engage in a new war,
which would leave him defencelefs on the fide of
Ruffia—L’Eclair, of the 19th and 20th.
BRUXELLES, March 16.
The head-quarters of the army of the Sambre
and Meuse have been removed from Bonne to Co
logne, which is a more centrical lituation for the
military operations which are about to take place
on the right bank of the Rhine.
They left Cologne on the izfh inst. and on the
fame day gen. Jourdan set out for Duffeldorff,
whither upwards of 20,000 men have received or
ders to repair with all possible diligence. This
order appears to have been occalioned by the move
ment of the Austrians, ivho have left their camp in
front of the Lahn, and have advanced towards
Siegbourg. Every day large bodies of the enemy’s
troops are perceived, from the left bank of the
Rhine, coming down from the mountains, and
collefling on the left bank of the Sicg.
It seems to be the intention of the Austrians to
open the campaign by an attack on the entrenched
camps at Oberbilick and DufleldorfF. This lad
town; and the fortified lines eftablilhed for its pro
tection, which form in front of it a complete crc
feent, the two extremities of which extend to the
Rhine, are in a refreClable date of defence, and
capable of making a long and effectual refinance.
Different corps of troops which werfc on their
march for Coblentz and Treves, have received
orders to return, and to proceed to Crevelt.
N E W - Y O R K, May 9.
On Saturday morningat break of day, the Bri
tifti men of war at the outer harbour, viz. Assistance
50, and frigates Prevoyant and Hussar, spread their
canvass to the wellern gale, unperceived by their
good friends. This excited some curiosity, and on
enquiry a KEY to the myftcry of so precipitate a de
parture was found between the Tontine co< r ee, and
the Belvidere house, which we are promised, hand
somely delineated by an American artilt, for to
morrow’s Argus.
The schooner from Guadaloupe, mentioned on
Satuiday, said to be a French privateer, exchanged
a salute at the fort—an honour never paid to priva
teers. We are credibly informed, that (he is a go
vernment dispatch boat, font by Victor Hughes.
The day before this lchooner failed, a French 50
gun (hip arrived at Guadaloupe, with dispatches
from government, in which was a renewal of
Hughes's commission for 18 months longer. This
Victor was under no apprehension from Britilh
attacks.
PHILADELPHIA, May ro.
The late treaty with Grcat-Britain, at the thres
hold of its existence, has become the fubjcCtof dis
agreement between our executive and the Britilh,
the latter declaring that they could not deliver up
the pods, until our government Ihould remove a
clalhing between one article of that treaty and our
last treaty with the Indians, as well as certain exitt
ing laws. In consequence of this a;; explanatory
treaty has been framed by Timothy Pickeringonour
part, and the Britilh charge des affairs. The differ
ence, we hope, was not adjusted by a further sur
render of our rights and advantages. Yet, be that
as it may, it is likely this second treaty will occa
sion a fulpenfion of the execution of the full, as it
mull require mutual ratification, and probably, ano
ther year’s lease will thereby be granted to the Bri
tilh cruisers; who, however perhaps do nor care
for lease orlicence, but who,.treaty or no treaty, will
carry on the mod lucrative part of their oufincis,
plundering defencelefs neutrals.
