They may there fore shortly be experted in America. Mr. Pinckney and Mr. MarlhaU had been treated very cavalierly while in Paris, the Dirertory pretending that the Tending” of them was an insult, because the tirti had been once rejected, and the other was known to be m the Eitgliftrintereft; but Mr. Gerry, who they fay was lent merely to make the others acceptable, had been treated with more civility. At fame time the utmofl harmony had subsisted between all three, and they had arttd perfcrtly together in every thing. . These gentlemen furtlier inform, that the new elections in France were going on while they were on their way from Paris to Bourdeaux, aud, that these might not ifftte in a manner contrary to the views of the Directory, a general imprisonment took plaoe at once of all who were supposed to be unfriendly to them. They furtlier fay, that tliere is no doubt that the people are heartily sick of tlie war and of the Government, but that the Dirertory control every thing by tlie immense mi litary force which they have accumulated, and which they 1110 ft punctually and liberally maintain from ah amphrtmt fury. ‘• - The preparations for the invasion of England, they fay, are beyond all conception, and wear amoll serious alpert. The army deftuied to this expedition was supposed to conlift of one hundred and fifty thousand men, or more; and it was said they woiild proceed in several divisions, and to different points, reckoning, upon the calculation of chances, that if one failed another might fuccced. Buonaparte, as we have so often heard, was to be the Commander in chief. BofioH) June 1. 1 his day arrived, .the armed ship Sea Nymph, M’Dougil, of and from Martinico, 23 days. Sailed in company with the Friendfliip, Norris, of Provi dence, bound to Charltfton, fefcooner Hero of Baltimore,’ and an Englilh schooner, which Capt. M l Dougal generously continued with and proterted. On the 6th May a French privateer of 10 guns and 70 men hove in fight, made Ic veral attempts to cut off tlie unarmed vessels, and continued to follow them for several days; on the Bth it became en tirely calm, tlie ship then about 6 miles ahead of the de* fencelefs vessels; the privateer feeing the state of the con voy immediately rowed among them, and but for the mag nanimous couducl of a part of the ship Sea Nymph’s com pany would have probabl y plundered them of every valuable article. This heroic and dilinterefted artion, vybich refeued from the jaws of rapacity three valuable vessels and cargoes, deserves particular mention. Perceiving the objert of the privateer, and night coming on, Capt. James Younger, Mate of the ship, proposed taking the boat, and with final! aims to beat off the pirate; immediately five others of die crew, viz. John Dixon, Henry Hubert, John Brack, Thomas Nellon, and William Wheeler, offered theif fir vice; the boat was armed with mu ike try, and these brave men rowed the diftaitce of fix miles, when coming within pistol {hot of the privateer, it being dark, they had the ad vantage of observing the enemy from dieir lights without r being observed by them;’ they then began their bold enter prise, and, keeping aflem, dilcharged their small arms with such well direrted fires as to create great confufion and dis may among the crew of the privateer; this assault they continued dll a cannon fho* from the enemy carried away a part of the stern of their boat, when the boat leaking very faft, and their ammunition nearly expended, they thought proper to give up the unequal contest and return to tlieir fliip, which they efferted in fafety. Capt. Younger had one of las ribs broke by the bursting of his gun; excepting this accident the intrepid volunteers sustained no peribnal damage. In the fnorning they difeovtred that tlieir foe had made off without molesting the convoy; a breeze springing up the vessels came up, and continued their voy age under the protection of tlieir brave-and deserving pro testers.

Sir, THE Commander in chief, tlie GeneFal Officers, the General Staff and Field Officers, of the Militia of the Ihuea of New-Jersey, feel in common with their numerous fdlowi citizens who have addrtffed you in the present critical situ ation of our nation, and moft cordially join them in ex preffmg to you their high approbation of your conduct in tlie management of its foreign concerns, and their indig nation for tlie insult offered to the honor and independence of the American pcpple. We come not, Sir, to dirtate. Whether peace can be prcferved with the fafety of our national dignity, or whether an appeal is to be made- to anus, are questions intrufted to* those in whole patriotism we confide, and according to Uieir deeiiion we ftiall always be prepared to art. But, Sir, at this eventful period, we deem it our duty, and feel it a pltafure, ndpeC\fully ta approach our Commander in chief, and to make him a folctnn profitr of our fives and fortunes in the service of our country. It is not, Sir, for foMfors to boast; but we know the troops whop we have *the honor to command; we have been-eye wimtffes to their ardent zeal in the cause of free dom; we have been their companions in many toils and many fufferings; and tfoxir beloved country calls we ftiall again east foe eve ii confirlrnrc along tlieir embattled ranks. L*tour enemies flatter themselves that we are a divided people. In New Jersey, Sir, with the exception of a few , Jcpaded'and a few dtluJei characters, to whoA jwi-foifr’ and to whose fervice# the invading foe-fliall be welcome tee moment of tliein arrival, and whom we engage to con vey in fafety to their lines—-in New Jersey, Sir, there it but ONE VOICE, and that is the voice of confidence m the Federal Government; the voice of per fed with your adminiftrtttion of it; ahd the vcs of firnmef* and determination to fujiport the laws and couftitution, the honor and dignity of the United States; and, Sir, for the defence of these, we do tills day, in the presence of the God cf Armies , and in firm reliance on bis.protection solemnly pledge to you our lives) our fortunes , and our ■ sacred honor .

AMONG all the numerous addrtfite which have been presented to me,, in tlie present critical situation of our na tion, there has been none which lias done me raorehonor, none aoimated wite a more glowing love of our country, or expreflive of sentiments .more determined and magna nimous. r i he fobmifficn yen avow to the civil, authority, an indifpenfablß principle in tlie character of warriors in a free government, at the fame moment when you make a solemn proffer ©f-yourdiVes and-foriUnes in the service of your country, is highly lionorabla to your difpolitions ai citizens and fiddlers, and proves you pei fertly qualified for tlie duties of both, dhararters.. Officers nd soldiers of New. Jersey have as little occasion as they have disposition to boast. Their country has long boasted of their ardent zeal in the cause of freedom, and their invjpcible intrepidity in.the day of battle. Your ifoice of confidence and fatisfartion, of firmneft and determination to fiipport the laws and ccnftitution of the United States,, has a charm in itinefiftibje to the feel ings of every American bofiim; .hut when, in the prefince of tlie God of Armies, and in firm reliance on his protertion, you folemnLy pledge ycurfelvcs and fommes and your fi cred honor, you have recorded words which ought to be indelibly imprinted in tlie memory of every American youth. With these lentiments in the hearts, and this language in the mouths of Americans in genenfl, the greatest nation may menace at its pleasure, and the degraded and deluded ■characters may tremble left they fiiould be condemned to the severest punishment an American can fuffer— I that of being conveyed in fafety within the fires-ofart invdding enemy, John Adams, Philadelphia, May i\Jl, 1798. rtf ■,: .1’ . June 7. ! ;> I [CIRCULAR.) | Gentlemen, ■< • THE existing crifiß in the affaire of the Union demand* the serious attention of every friend to the independent, honor, and fafety, of our country. To obliterate the sense of gratitude, which ivaS cberilhed for ffrvices tendered by France during our conflirt with Great Britain; to extingujih tlie enthusiasm whiett was ih. spired by her firft revolutionary movements in fever of li. berty; and to, con vert the physical and political sources- of reciprocal attachment between the two Republics intoffen* timents of hoiiijity; are efferts that can oniy find an adl quate cause in the system of violence and depredation, of injustice and contumely, by which the Government of that nation has recently disgraced its own chararter, and viol* ated our rights. . . It is no ionger, however, ufiful to reason, hor honoa I able to repine ; it has been authoritatively announced that our Gbvernmcnt is compelled to relinqinih every hope of peace, gnd to prepare for the painiiil alternative of war* j Hie Constitution of the United States lias devolved upon] the Departments of the Federal Government tlie power j and, the duty to provide for the common defence; but the I power and the duty of cooperation, so as to effectuate thtir measures, are likewise constitution at* I tachtd to the jui ifdirtiou of the individual states, and form I indeed an efftntial part of the chararter and capacity of J every citizen of the Union. Upon this impulse, and vithl this view, then, I have circulated the present addrtfs; and I 1 am confident, Gentlemen, tliat while the national autho*l rity is anxiouily engaged in making general arrangements 1 for executing its arduous trnft, the militia of Pennlylvani* I will not omit any point of preparation which can evince the I promptitude of their spirit, and the ardor of their.patriotifro.l In addition therefore, to the provisions which have been I made by C ngref?, it remains, for the purposes of natior.ilß defence, to pudue efficient meaftires for enrolling, ing, and equipping the great body of the. militia; but!l am so fenfibfe qfohe deserts of the exiftmg law that 1 fbouS I despair of iufCdif, if (independent of every, legillative pn> I vision) my experience did not juftify me in repoling aptf‘l fort confidence upon the voluntary exertions of every ficer, aud of every freeman, at a period so interefling M I f xne public welfare.
