FRANKFORT, Oftober 26.
The news of peace is spread through
Germany with loud and general accla-,
mations. It would be impoifible to paiofr,
in all its traits, the height of the public
joy. Those especially, who lived in the
neighbourhood of the theatre of war, aic
regenerated with new hopes. Com
merce and industry will restore to the bo
dy politic of Germany that vigour, of
which an almott total stagnation had de
prived it. Agricultife may hope to
cause those fields to fioutilh again, which
the furies of Bellona have so long blatted
with tterrility. Can the Belligerent powers
in laying down their arms, refrain from
occupying themselves in drying up the
tears which the scourge of war hascaufed
to flow ? Can they scarred all over with
wounds, think again of resuming their
arms, to trouble, with their strange and
indecent quarrel, the tranquility of Eu
rope ? Had the famous treaty of Pilnite
neverexitted, a fix years war would not
have desolated every part of our globe.
ZURICH, (Swifferiand) Oft. 24.
Notwithllanding the carnett foitcita
tions of citizen Mingot, in behalf of the
French republic, for the immediate dis
missal of the Britilh minister to thefc
fta'es, an affair which would equally con
cern the whole, and which ought to have
been addressed to the whole confederacy,
the senate of Berne has declined deciding,
until the whole of the Swiss Cantons arc
applied to by the French directory.
In the mean time, several members of
the senate of Berne, who were very inti
mate with Mr. Wickham, have been
difmiff.d and replaced by others. This
is one preliminary fatislaftion given to
the French government.
BOSTON, January 3.
It is certain that at the date of the last
accounts from Paris, our extra- comraif
fioners had not entered into any drfeuf- -
fions whatever, on the fubjeft of their
million, with the ruling powers of the
French republic.--« They have had, it is
true, introduction of ceremony to the mi
nister of foreign affairs; but have done
no business with him.—General Pinckney
may have a j refentiment of the probable
fate of the embassy ; and from thence
may have been anxious to provide against
contingencies; but appearances may be
delusive; and notwithlianding his expec
tations, he may be agreeably diiappoint
ed. Should the French adapt Faucnet's
advice, and fend commissioners to treat
in the United States, the presence of our
envoys at Paris would anqueltioaably be
difptnfed with.
In all the French papers we have feen A
not one word good, bad, or indifferent,
is said of the United States, their laws,
or rulers.
About 150,000 dollars, in specie, were
tranfporteu ydterday, in waggor.s, from
the branch bank, in this town, to take
passage for Algieis, on board the Creicent
frigate, captain Newman, now lying at
Portsmouth. This (hip it ia said, will
fail in a few days.
NEW YORK, January 10.
Capt. Clapp, who arrived yetterday
from Jamaica, authorifes us to lay that

mander of the brig Trio, belonging to
this port, owned Dy Me firs. Yates and
Pollock, who informed him that having
been attacked on his voyage from New
York to Jamaica by a French privaieer of
ten guns and futl of men, he had defended
himfelt, and after an aftion of several
glasses, the privateer struck her colours;
that he declined having any thing to do
with her more, and continued his voyage
to Jamaica. The Trio was armed with
fix 4 pounders, and manned with 15 men,
beliues 4 passengers.
PHILADELPHIA, January it.
A Fire nroKeout this morning, about
11 o'clock. A. M. in a Mr. Dawlon’s
white fmith'sfbop, back of Fourth street,
near Cherry street—-the (hop was burnt
down, but by the timely exertions ol the
citizens, no other material damage en(u
ed; altho’ zt one time much was to be
apprehendet* as the fire took effeft upon
the roof of the German Chnrch, which
has been lately rebuilt, after haviog been
dettroyed by that terrible element.
In the honfe of commons Mi. Dundas

It is not unworthy of remark, that
more thin one half the ships which fought
so gallantly in the late action with the
Dutch'fLet, were concerned in the alarm*
ing mutiny which touk place at the Nore

% In the mer *ry of man there never
were known to many trials and capital
punilhments as there have been lately in
the different circuits in Ireland --Yet,
when parliament meets, we (hall no doubt
hear that Ireland is in the happiest and
molt tranquil condition, that order and
harmony are reltored, and that all ranks
of people unite in the mildness
and mercy with which the government ot
that country is adminiltered. .
GEORGE-rOWN, Jan. 16.
A publication from the Redafteur,
called, “ Pofiiive considerations on the
fubjeft of differences between France and
America,” has now appeared in our pa
pers. It is there said, “ A treaty of
commerce concluded by Mr. Jay, is the
source ot the differences which we have
to investigate.” It proceeds to give a
hiftory of this treaty trom which the fol
lowing observations are extracted. “It
is well-known that there exitt among the
Anglo-Amc.'icatiS two declared parties---
the one consists of the merchants and un
fortunately of a majority in the govern
ment and legislature—this is the Englilh
party ; the cultivators of land form the
other party. The mass of the people is
more inclined to France and the princi
ples which didated the revolution. The
latter remember that to F.ance they owe
that liberty they prize so mucti, the o
thers recollect that to England they owe
their existence: This at lead is ihe mo
tive generally underltood to actuate the
two parties.”
These “ considerations,” after pre
ferring objeftions to the various articles
ot the treaty, and observing that the
Ameticans could not fubferibe to it with
out violating their faitn with Fiance,
conclude witn the following paragraph.
“ It is cflcniial that these notions re-,
duced to litnple terms, 111 mid be cita
blilhed, to the end that the conduct which
the French government ought 10 preserve
towatds the American negocutois lhould
be appreciated.”
