" Before engaging them to intermeddle with our war, it is neceflary to underlland one another, to come to an agreement with them. Ido not fee then, a more efficacious way for the previous re-nni.on, than an adoption of their foeiety. Coilot D'Herbois. " Dispatches are received by the committee of Public Safety, informing it, that America has permitted French veiTels to fell in their ports all English prizes which they might make. On a close examination of these dispatches it appears, that although they carry official marks, they are not from the American o-overnment; bnt merely from a consul of one of the Anglo-American cities, who being nothing but a commercial agent, and not a political one, may very likely have written them from interested motives, rather than authentic authorization. Ne vertheless, we Ihould not neglect the ad vantages which may arise from this ad vance. I conclude, that we agree to this adoption." RefolrccL FRENCH INDIA MAX.

Such a number of persons were interested in this business, that it is not astonishing that theie was as much cabal for assuming the direction of it, as there was formerly in the Conclave of Rome for the nomination of a Pope.

I bcliuve above all, That Jultice is True Rtligion—and that no other wuilhip is nec»flary on the earth, but the practice of Trite Virtue. I believe also, that Hea ven is nothing else, than the happy iccol- TeAion of having been virtuous. I ren der this solemn homage to Truth—Fana- ticifm will not hear me, but I brave its anathemas.

As for me, I have made my choice, and I resign to the State a pen sion of 1500 livres ; but as I am 60 years old, and without any fortune, I demand from the nation the means of having ii> my retreat, bread and milk.

The Eng liih on their leaving the harbor, set fire to several fail of French veflcla, not being able to take them off. He likewise confirms the account of General O'Hara, with the men under his command, having been taken, some days before the Recapture of Toulon. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Newport, " A young man, by the name of Dani el Allen, jun. who failed for the Indies 3 years ago, with capt. Jacob Smith, was drowned at the city of Canton, Oct. 19, 1792. The effects contained in his chest are lodged at Mr. John Brown's store in Providence, where his friends may obtain them by making application. It is defjr able that this information should bepublifli ed in the public papers, as it is not cer tainly known where his parents reside. It is faidbv one, they belonged to Albany, by another to Springfield, and by a third that his fether kept a public house near the springs of Saratoga."

" An ast in alteration of the ast (of establishing a Mint" received from the' Senate, was read the third time, and pas sed the Houfc this day without amend ment. 'J.'he House then took into confedera tion a memorial of Arthur St. Clair, pray ing a settlement of an old account of services and expences as a Commifiioner, for holding a treaty with certain Indian l Tribes—The difcuflion of this memorial took up the time till the adjournment, without a final decision's taking place., Wedncfday, Feb. 26. Several petitions were read and refer red Mr. S. Smith called up a moiion which he laid on the table a few days since, the object of which ie r that a committee (hou!<S be appointed to conlider and report on the propriety of remitting the Duty on Im ported Bar-Iron, in certain cases. This motion was agreed to, and a committee of three, appointed. Mr. Ward called up for confideraticnr and decision thereon, the report of the Secretary of War, on the petition of Abraham Watson. The report was read -it is in faVor of the petitioner, but ftatcs that the circumstances are limiW to those attending the cafe of Cel. Ely, in whose favor two bills had puffed the House, tho' they were afterwards negatived by the Se nate. It was moved that the report be accept ed, and that a committee be appointed ley bring in a bilf conformably to the Secre tary's report, so far As refpefts the certifi cate therein mentioned—To this motion some opposition being made, it was at length agreed, that it ftiould lie on the table for the present. Guernsey jcrcmie A representation was rend from the pilots of Ocracock Bar—and referred to the Secretary of the Treafnry. M. Fitzlimons moved that that part of the President's message which relates to the arms and military stores cf the United States, be referred to a committee with inftrudions, to report whether any, and what additions are necessary to be made to any part of the fame—with the pro bable cxpence of such addition*. Mr. Baldwin brought forward A motion which was read and agreed to, that the committee appointed to enquire into the tranfa&ions of the treasury department be authorised to fend for persons, papers and records. Mr. Carnes offered a resolution, the purport of which is, that the Prefideirt of the United States be requested to lay be- fore the House a statement of the amount of the monies that have been expended in making preferits to the Creek Indians since the treaty held at New-York j alfothe a mount ol'expencee attending the formation of that treaty —after a few reifiarks it was agreed that this motion fcould lie en the table till to-morrow. In committee of the whole on the bill For the relieff>f Lucy Clark—Mr. Bourn in the chair. This bill provides for granting a sum of money which was due to her late husband Thomas Clark deceased, for public fcrvi ces and for the hire of a negro slave, for whose time in the public service a bond had been recovered against the petitioner. The bill was opposed, as contravening the ast of limitation, and as opening, a door to innumerable other claims now bar red by law—if taken up, it ought to be done on a general principle. It was supported as providing for a cafe Handing on its own merits, attended with peculiarly unfortunate circumstances that bore extremely hard on the petitioner and these were principally imputable to the officer who had neglie&ed to make the proper returns in season. The committee on motion, at length rose, and were discharged from any fur ther proceedings thereon.' It was then moved that the bill (hould be re-committed to a special committee. This motion did not obtain. It being moved by Mr. Nicholas, to take into consideration the confidential communications of the President of the United States, for the p::rpofe of deter mining whether they {hall be made pub lic—The galleries were cleared. A Correspondent observes, that where a question can poflibly arise, whether a thing submitted in confidence ought to be made public or not, it is instead of a tuou fand arguments in favor of secrecy.
