By Yeflerdjy's Northern Mail.
■ p \ R 1 S, March q.
Bfhe diredtory by a reflation dated
I»'h Ventofe, March 2, has given or-
Hrs to all the French cruisers and pri-
Hteers to capture, henceforth, and bring
9 in the ports of the republic, ali neu
|El Chips which are freighted, either
jKj O Uy or in part, with goods belonging
|B the enemy, which are to be declared
jKvful prizes, and the neutral flaps are
S be released the moment the g rods are
fKken out, and the tonnage paid’ tor
Bhich they contradfed with the owneis,
Ifcdides such indemnity for their deten
fßLn as the court of admiralty thall think
■Toper to allow. The (hips of the U
■ted States of America are not to be
ym ce p te j from this regulation, which
Hu cea se as soon as the hostile pow'ers
JHII jefped the neutral flag which car-
French property.
’Mlf we may believe letters from Franck-
Brt, the emperor Paul has charged ba
■hn Stackelberg, his minister to the cir-
Wm? 0 t the Upper Rhine, to address him-
Blt fucccflively to the cabinets of Vienna,
Berlin and the other principal courts of
■Germany, to offer his mediation, and
■endeavours to contribute towards the
Brace which Europe so much wants.
B’he baron is also ordered to proceed to
njafle.
It is reported that Bengal is in a {fate
of general infutredfion; that the inhabi
tants have disarmed the troops in the
lervice of the English company, and
seized upon the government.
An event is just announced which is
extremely important: As we forefaw,
the king of Prufiia has made an offer to
the French government of an armed me
diation ; and as the court of Berlin is
greatly diffatiofied with a species of roa
' niftfto lately published againli that court
by the cabinet of Vienna, it is probabie
this powerful mediation will be highly
id vice able to France.
* According to a letter from Brussels,
* of the 6ih instant, the campaign is to be
opened immediately on the Rhine, acid
strong movements are taking place both
Tn the French and imperial arniies. Se
veral corps of French infantry have pal
£d the'Rhine nfcar Duffeldbrff to take a
pofuion on the Wupper. Ten battalions
jtcf.Auftrian loot are arrived at the Sieg,
and all the Aultrian generals are at this
moment assembled at Limburgh, on the
' L'ahm. ■
As soon as the intelligence of the late
’adlion between the Spainifh and English
fleets reached Madrid, the prince of
peace lent orders to don Navia, immedi
ately to fail with his division from Ca
diz, to pursue the English fleet and burn
it, in case it should be found to feck
Ihelter in the Tagus.
* The king of Prufiia h2S taken posses
sion of the Lower Palatinate and a great
part of Westphalia. He declares that he
•will not give up these countries until he
ihail be compleatly paid his expenses tor
the siege of Menrz. Me is wearied, it is
laid, of negociating to no purpose with
the diet of Ratilbone for the recove
ry of his expenses.

FRANCKFORT, March 4.
- General Wernick is again gone to the
- Sieg: Bujt no adfive preparations are as
yet perceived on the part of the Auftri-
| ans for opening the enfaing campaign on
the Lower Rhine. Muoh is faiTu* de*
pend upon the answers which the e»ope»of
experts from Peterfbjrgh.
We have advice from Bifle, that-two
couriers from Vienna pa Led through that
city on their way to Paris; the telult of
their million will decide whether there is
to be peace or war.
\V E Z E L, March 5.,
Generals Hoche and Moreau arc both
at Cologne, where the passage of the
Rhine is rigorously -prohibited. A fpce- ,
dy passage of that river is much talked oL
there. Near Landau more and more
forces are constantly cclkdcd, to excitoN
the attention of the Aullrians.
HAMBURGH, March ro. *
A letter from Vienna, of the llf in
stant, mentions, that notwithstanding
all the preparations, peace is again talked j
of. The French genera! Clarke, who
was said to have gone from Milan to
Rome, is said to have received dispatches i
from Paris-, relative to a peace with Au
stria. These very dispatches are Rated
to have occasioned general Clarke’s de
parture. from Milan.
LONDON, March 16.
Yesterday advices were received by the
admiralty from lord Bridport, cruizing
off Brest. The dis; arches were brought
to Falmouth by the Nimrod cutter, cap
tain Marsh, and confirm the agreeable
intelligence, given in the Star of yester
day, of the capture of the Refinance ;
French frigate, of 44 guns* and La
Cor.ftance Corvette, which were met
going to Brest by the St. Florenzo, and
la Nymphe frigates. These frigates had
been locking into the inner road of Brest,
to learn the state of the French in that
harbour, and on returning to lord Brid
port, fell in with the above French (hips,
and captured them, after a very short
fight. The report of their being cut out
of Brest is unfounded.
March 17.
A new loan, to the amount of twelve
millions fteil.ng has been talk’d of, tho*
we have avoided to notice the rumour.
Mr. Pitt has certainly been with differ
ent gentlemen on this fubj'.dl, but no
thing has been fixed ; and the negotia
tion is now put off till the next week at
focncft, as the minilfer will wait for the
report of the committee on the state of
the public finances, before he concludes
any tiew bargain. It is fuj-pofed that the
last fubferibers mult have the firft offer.
The bank has limited its difeounts
within the present week in a manner'
almnft unprecedented. On Wedncfday
it threw out almost every acceptance that
was font in to be difeounted from the
molt eftablilhcd mercantile houses; and
even the notes of the royal bank of Scot
land, which had only ten days to run,
were refofed.
The Paris journals seem to regard the
vidlory over the Bark of England as
much mere important than their vidlories
in Italy. It is with regret that we agree
with them. * , J
Several letters from the continent ad
vise that the king of Prufiia has declared
to the executive directory, that in case
the republican at tries Ihould endea vour
to make any progrrfs on the right banks
of the Rhine, he should feel himfelf o
bliged to protect Germany.
A fleet, confiding of two line of bat
tle ships and four frigates, has been feme
time in preparation for a voyage to the
South Seas. It will be ready to fail in
about twelve days. It proceeds under
the command of lord Hugh Seymour.
The Latona is now repairing at Sheerneft
for that purpose. The honourable Mr.
Leegee, son to lord Dartmouth, com
mands her.
Hostilities upon the Lower Rhine had
not commenced when the last accounts
came away.
PHILADELPHIA, May 11.
LAUNCH OF THE UNITED
STATES 44 GUN FRIGATE.
• This superb vessel, conftrudted by Jo
shua Humphreys, under the inflection of
her commander captain John Barry, in
a style fupejior to any; Euiopean vfcfTel of
equal size ; the firft built in America since
the completion of our'revolution; the
firft born of cur navy, attracted to view
her launch at least 40-000 Mediators ; one
hundred veflels were drawn oui and an
chored in the stream, their decks were,
covered with tRe companies invited by
their o#ners ; more than ypo boats and
barge 3 were filial with every age and fc*.
The wharves and veffcls lying, to them,
were crowded for the extent of haT a
mile; the houses and stages near the
' launch were fell to At
length th expefled moment arrived, at
thirty minutes pall one o’clock, two
thirds of the. blocks being struck away,
the United States glided with ease
and dignity into that element on which
ftie now rivals for elegance and perfec
tion of naval architecture any (hip of her
size that has been ever built. Every
heart felt sublime enjoyment in the prof
peCt; and snouts tumultuous reached the
heavens, while the deep itiouthed thun
der of our artillery responded the cheer
, fui acclamation.
The frigate being fafely mooted in the
Delaware, under the direction of captain
Richard Dale, who commanded on the
oecafidn, the artists and Ihip-carpenters
fat down in the {hip-yard to a collation;
and after enjoying the pleafute arising
from a contemplation of that grand pto
\ duClion of their joint efforts, rose full and
i fati'fied.
Our apprehensions were awakened,
i and we feared that amidst such a crowd
ed multitude, some melancholy accident
might happen to close the happy feene,
but we rejoiced exceedingly in having it
in cur power to inform out fellow citi
zens, that not an nnpleafant accident took
p lace on the occasion.
A wonderful prophecy my flic ally declared
in a fucceffun of patriarchal names.

To the Editor of the JacohinC
Chronicle ofAugufta, *
WHAT better criterion cooM be af
forded by which one may judge of the
demerits of the anti-government faction
at present in this country, than to find
you their oracle in the fouth, as Bert
Bache and Jemmy Carey are in the
north ; I fay, whit truer eftiraate can
be formed of the advocate* of anarchy,
than by comparing the undigested sedi
tious ebullitions of those fraternizing
typographers with the uninfluenced pub
lications and impartial details which we
find in American newspapers generally ?
To run any parallel between fuefi ma
lignant enemies to the government of
their country, and such zealots in ita
defence as Peter Porcupine and Noah
lVebfler, would be like clafiing the most
deadly poison with the mod nutritoua
aliment. That you John ErdmanSmith
have made your press the vehicle to
contaminate the minds of every weil
wifher to the exifling government of
America is a fadl clearly to be esta
blished from your publications and fe
leftions generally, but (hall be (hewn
particularly, by detailing your conduft
of late. What an unparallelled insult
was it to publish a detail of a celebra
tion of that victory which was the im
mediate cause ot the greatest indignity*
to us, which one nation can fufffer from
another—l mean the difmiflipn of cut
ambaflador, which was ordered the very
next morning after the receipt of the
news of the fall of Mantua? Had you
forgot your country's injuries, humanity
ought to have made you weep, when you
heard of a success which put a period .to
every proved of peace, which rekindled
the flames of a war that has already de
luged so many countries with blood, and
which was, previous to this fatal victory
nearer a close than at any former period.
L< ok around you, and fee how few of
your fellow printers have hazarded the
publication of this piece; and if reason
will not inftrutt, let example warn you.
It is true, that in the following paper
you inserted, by rrquefi, Porcupine’s
remarks upon this infamous celebration,
and thus made the only reparation then
in your power: but it was not. Cufficient
to flop here, this would have'had the
appearance of difrefpeft to the French
government, and so we have Citizens
Carey and Markland*s address to Peter
Porcupine, inferred in your last paper,
byway of exhibiting a national contri
tion to the terrible republic , for fufFeting
any crittcifin to be made on the rejec
tion of our envoy, or on the piratical 4
seizures of -our property. But neither
this addrtf nor the adve.rtifimcnt extraotm
dinary will answer the purpose inunled;
the communiry now views with displea
sure and disgust, the infoience and ra*
pine of the authors of the new system of
“ liberty and equality," and begins to
have that refyeft for their own govern
ment, which however justly due, it has
nor, at all times commanded.
1 do not care, citizen Smith! whe
ther Peter Porcupine be groom of the
Jlole to the King of England, ot chair
Jitter lo the Dey of Algiers, 1 will
esteem every sentence which diops from
his pen in defence of our present go
vernment, or from any other man’s, aa
deserving the regard which is due to
him who labors for the public good :• It
is become a stale trick now to oawl out
“ British politics!" when ore fpeaksor
writes in favor of the American govern
ment ; but as there is no other resource
left to our dejperate democrats, they
ought to be indulged in this drain of
inventive, until they can effeft a revo
lutionary fyflem of their owp, when
they will have fufficient employment in
improving upon guillotines , Nantz mar»
riages, Sec,
A CITIZEN.
\jVhether the above contains fruth err
fit ft hood, or an attack on the liberty of
tbit prejs ; is rifpcEtfully fubmilted to the
public, and to the fubfenbers in piriicvlar ,
by the Printer of this paper—-tvho abhors
