KINGSTON, (Jamaica,) January 19.
The ftroog inertfure which the British
go«rnir»?m has found necessary to inforce
agatntl America, will place her in a fitua
tioir highly inimical to the views of those
rash p-irtizan* of the French mobocracy,
whose intrigues have been so fatal to her
rial rhtereft. For America to hesitate
cue moment in offering to join the league
agaiitft the present rulers of France,would
bt a fpeeies of political insanity without
example in the history of nations.
Lmgrefs of the United States•
House of Reprefentat'ruet
Friday, March 14.
The bill from the Senate fupplemcnta
ry to the z£t providing for the punifh
fnent of certain crimes against the Uni
ted States, was twice read.
* The President has approved the bill
making appropriations for 1794.
The Senate has concurred the bill au
thorising a loan of million.
1 1 .vas moved to take up immediately
t part of the resolutions offered a few
d.'/s since, which relates to empowering
the President to lay an embargo if he
IhotiM deem such a measure necefiary.—
Tae motion was loft, owing to the wish
of a majority to pursue the fubjeft of Mr.
Mvlifon's resolutions and give them a
decision.
The house then went into committee
on those resolutions.
A long debate ensued—in which the
res ilutions were opposed as being incom
petent to the obje&s for which they were
bro't forward—the present circumllances
of the country requiring measures of a
more energetic completion. The reso
lutions were supported on the principle
of their intrinsic propriety, and as being
auxiliary to any measures of a more deci
sive nature, which it may be determined
to adopt.
No decision on the merits of the dis
criminating principle in the second refo
ltition, took place.
The dignity of the representation of a
free people was disgraced at the close of
the debate, by a Clapping of Hands in
the G illery, at an expreflion which fell
From Mr. Parker.
Upon this a debate ensued on clearing
the galleries : The motion for which, was
carried almost unanimously.
Adjourned till Monday.
PHILADELPHIA,
MARCH 15.
A correspondent observes that he is
happy to learn that the decisive condu&
of the Reprefentativesof the people of the
United States, in their nlmoji unanimous
vote for clearing the galleries yesterday,
receives the aprobation of every real .friend
to the Liberties, the dignity, and inde
pendence of this country, who is informed
of the circumitance.—Our correspondent
is well allured that the measure is approv
ed of, very generally, by the citizens them
selves who were in the galleries, both a
bove.and below; for adds he, the inde-,
corum is well known to have originated
in diftgn on the part of some particular
persons who had perfuadedt hemfelves to
think so contemptibly of the guardians of
our rights and privileges, as to suppose
there was a majority who would counte
nance an insult on the majesty of the peo
ple.
A correspondent asks what right Oyftermen
have to d<ftutb the citizens with the ringing
of Sells in ch- streets ; and if their thundering
vociferations are not TufTicient to rouse the in
habitant • of a square at any given distance in
the fame? Bells are neceflary and proper for
Calling the attention of the people on certain
occasion', hut if thus promifcuoully used will;
be deftrn<ft)ve of the good ends for which their
wle was intended.

By late arrivals from the Wejl Indies at
Baltimore, the Editor of the Daily
Advertiser printed there, received
Engli/h papers to the firjl of January,
from -which the following articles are
publijbtd by him.
VIENNA, December 11.
We have accounts from Italy, that a
fquadroix of 12 Britifli and Spanish flilps
oi war appeared before Tunis, andium
moned the Bey to fu.Tender to them the
French c»nvoy of merchantmen from the
Levant, in the name of .Louis XVII. the
lawful King of France ; but that the
Bey's answer was in the Negative.
PARIS, December 25.
The re-capture of Toulon by the troops
of the republic, on which the committee
of public welfare made a report which had
not appeared in print, when these accounts
came away, excited surprise in the breads
of the Sans Culottes, who when this in
telligence was firft announced, did not
manifelt those usual tokens of joy which
they betray on afl other occasions, when
some pretended or real success is mention
ed. It must no doubt, be a matter of re
gret to every true republican, that one of
the fined ports in France is entirely des
troyed—an arsenal, considered as one of
the fineft in Europe, consumed by fire—.
and a navy, once powerful and refpefted,
became the property of the allies, or a
prey to the flames. The aristocrats of
Toulon, who for the molt part escaped,
leave also to the vengeance of the repub
lic a very inadequate quantity of blood to
be (hed by the axe of the guillotine.
The number of 200 men said to have
been 101 l when the troops of the republic
atchieved this exploit, appears to some
very erroneous and inaccurate; the report
of the committee of public welfare will
perhaps furnilh the curious public with
better and more probable information.
LONDON, January r
Last night Mr. Sparrow the mefienger
arrived from Bruflels, with dispatches from
Lord Elgin, stating that intelligence had
been received there from Paris, of the fact
of the French having regained Toulon—
but that the retreat of the allies had been
effected without any loss, after they had
destroyed the whole of the French fleet
and the Arsenal.
IMPERIAL HEAD QUARTERS AT
HAGUENAU,December 16.
Yesterday and this day the French attack
ed the whole line of the Austrian army, un
der the command of Gen. Wurmfer, with
itndefcribable fury, from Limbach as far
the banks of the Rhine. Although the lo's
of the Auftrians was hot ipconfiderahle, yet
it is very trifling indeed, if compared with
that of the enemy, who left 200 dead on the
field at the taking of one of their redoubts,
without reckoning those who were wounded
or taken.
December 20.
The Frcnch try every day the greatest ef
forts to break through the lines of gen. Wurm
fer, which extend from Haguenau to Fort
Louis, in which there are 24 redoubts with
200 pieces of cannon. The enemy's design
is to raise the liege of Landau, which fortrefs
is of the greatest consequence both to us & to
themselves.The 18th they strained every nerve
to gain that end ;it was a most bloody and
murderous day,and the chief attack was made
at Fifchbach. The duke of Brunfwick had
before-hand reinforced gen. Wurmfer's ar
my with fix battallions of Prufiians, and as
t rwards came and engaged himfelf in the
ombat. The French were entirely defeat
ed and several thousands of them cut to pie
ces. The vigors who also fuffered conside
rable loss, took 20 pieces of cannon.
The garrison of Landau must now furren
de •in a fbort time. It made an unfuccefsful
so tie a few days ago, but it will now fee that
French Sans Culottes will never have it in
their power to relieve that fortrefs.
The affair at Toulon was no otherwise un
fortunate than from the loss of gen. O'Har a.
The objedt of the sortie, viz. the deftru&ion
of the batteryattacked, was accompliftied, and
but for the impetuosity of the troops, would
have been accomplished without loss—Yet
this affair seems still to afford food for the ma
licious misrepresentations of the Jacobins.
In the affair of the 30th. captain Hill had
not left gen. O'Hara more more than ten mi
nutes, with a dispatch to bring up the artillery
men, before he returned and found the fort
taken, and the gc neral carried off.
An order has been iiTued from the admi
ralty, for seizing all French produce in Ame
rican ftiips bound to any port in Europe; and
alfoall American produce bound from the
United States to any of the French Weft-In
dia islands.

of Vice-Admiral fir John Jarvis, arrived
in Bay Marin on the sth inft. and
fir Charles Grey landed with the troop

reason to believe Gen. D undas made good
his landing a few hours sooner.

after the march of the army, Capt. Ro

ports with fir C. Gordon's brigade failed
for Caife Navire, with a view to operate
on, that fide, and to awe Saint Pierre.
By reports of Americans and deserters,
Rochambeau was employed, while our ar

mulattoes and negroes in the quarter of
St. Anne to go into fort Bourbon. '
At 8 o'clock on the morning of the

and two victuallers for the fnpport of the
troops under brigadier Gen. White, who
after a very severe march and some attack

taken without any loss whatever. Brig.
Gen. White, informs, that Sir C. Grey

NEW-YORK, March 14.
Extract of a letter from Albany, dated
March 8,
" I am ferry that I can only inform
you of unwelcome news—that is, the re
jection of the bill for fortifying the port
of New-York.
" After a debate of fix hours, most
-earnestly, it was carried againlt as by a
majority of thirteen.
" Conftitutionalty was milch the fub
jeft of confederation : here we had the
better; but an idea that Gongref* ought
to attend to the bufmefs, and bear the ex
pence, I believe, turned the scale. An
infinity of verbage, however, was expend
ed on the occasion.
" Yelterday, on the bill for treating
with the Indian tribrsj we had fume very
lengthy debates on conititutional ground,
better managed than any oik- this iefiion.
It was determined against the conftituti
oiiality."
