of indifputaple authority, so that the fame (hail
be preserved from oblivion.
Another impeachment and the second is now
depending. An officer is charged by the late
Honfe ot Reprefeulatives, who haih for many
years been largely confided in by this ifcate,a.ijd

11. As no eonjc&ure can well be made, as to
the length ot the present trial,, the fi7.e ot the
volume cannot be ascertained at this time—
But the pi ice tha.l noi exceed that of forne of
the latell publications in this city.
111. It will contain all the preliminaries and in
cidental circumflances that may occur during
the trial of John Nicbolfon, Eiquirc, Comp
troller-General of this commonwea th, with
the arguments of counsel oh both fides, together
with the articles of impeachment, and the
pleas and replications at large, the several re
solutions of the two branches of the state Le
gislature, rcfpe£ting this impeachment, and
the final decision ot the SENATE refptfcuug
that officer. 1
To which will be prefixed, as much as can be
colletted from authentic documents, of-the im

[Whole No. 54 I.]
Philadelphia.
The foil owing published in the American Star,
contains fundryparticulars refpefiing tbeFrcncb
and English fleets which tad not before, bun
laid bt fom tfje public.
Details of the division of the French fleet,
which failed from Brest in November, 1793.
Six men of war and two frigates, com
manded by Rear- admiral Wanftable, failed
from Brelt about the end of November, and
cruised between d'Ouefiant and Cape Ltfc?.rd.
They took 17 English prizes, amongfl which
were merchant vessels from the fpnr quarter*
of the world.
The ioth day of their cruise, being twenty
five leagues Weft of d'Ouefiant they had
fight of the Englilh fleet, composed of twenty
fix men of war, and a number of frigates and 1
corvets, which gave chafe with a fair wind to
the French fleet, whom it endeavoured to
keep from the land, by means of an oblique
course, made between them and the land.
It was at this time that Lord Howe, believ
ing that the French veflels could not escape
him, detached an advice-boat to announce tile
capture of the French squadron.
The rear-admiral Wanflable perceiving
the design of the Engli/h admiral, took to
flight, and steered in such a manner as made.
Lord Howe believe that he designed to run
out to sea, and this was what aided him alll
the time he could not be perceived*
In this interval, an English frigate having
approached a French one, brought her can
non to bear ; the former left her and pufted
hard towards the veiTels of the Rear-admiral,
who gave the enemy's frigate a hroadiidej &
the Englilh not being willing to receive ano
ther, steered off towards the thickest of his
fleet.
As soon as night came, Wanftable made
a lignal to extinguish all the fires and lights,
and to change the course. He immediately
made an E. S. E. direction, till judging hitr
felf to be between the north and south of Bel
lifle, he (leered for it to convince hi mfelf, &
found the land so nigh that he entered Brett
without any accident. By this dextrous man
oeuvre he escaped the enemy, and had in cafe,
of any unlucky rencounter, the fort of . 1-
lisle for a protestor, or the bay of Tibercu.
for a refuge.
Lord Howe having miffed a prey, which
he regarded as certain, returned into the bay
of Falmouth. Ihe French squadron being
certain of this, and not imagining that fix
veffeU could make any way against 16, im
mediately put to sea and fleered for America.
