UNITED STATES. 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 this Day's Mail. 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. Authentic News from Martinico. Bridgetown, February 12. We are Happy to inform our readers that the fleet which failed from here on Monday the 3d inft. under the command of Vice-Admiral fir John Jarvis, arrived in Bay Marin on the sth inft. and fir Charles Grey landed with the troop early the next morning, and there was reason to believe Gen. D undas made good his landing a few hours sooner. Sir C. Grey took poll »t Li Reviere Salic before dark, without any otlier Ids thin a sergeant of the 9'.li rcgime.it, who having jult recovered of a lever, iurtk through fatigue. Brigadier-General White, separated from fir Charles on the march, to take pnffeiGon of Ance d'Arl-s, the Grand Ance, Fort Solomon and the heights which commanded liletaux Ramiers. Soon after the march of the army, Capt. Ro gers having a squadron of frigates & tranl 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 my was in motion, in exertions toperluade mulattoes and negroes in the quarter of St. Anne to go into fort Bourbon. ' At 8 o'clock on the morning of the sth, the admiral dispatched the Nautilus (loop of war with two ordnance traufports and two victuallers for the fnpport of the troops under brigadier Gen. White, who after a very severe march and some attack of pods, &c. arrived in the rear of Cape Solomon Battery and Cape BoHrg, where the brigadier soon hoiited the British flag and meant to attack the posts which in tervened between Cape Solomon and Pid geon' Iflauds. On the morning of the Bth inft. Cape Solomon Battery and Cape Bourg, were taken without any loss whatever. Brig. Gen. White, informs, that Sir C. Grey has arrived at Lametin, and' the enemy had taken port opposite the lflet des Ra mier, which the Brigadier intended to at tack with his artillery. The inhabitants of the quarter in which 3ay Marin is, were coming in very fa ft:, and reported that I,a Trinetti was in pos session of Major-Gen. Dundas. 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." MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
