I" hich a situation there will be only one confutation leit : Cobourf's army having retired behind the Dutch fortreffes for fafety, may contri bute to the defence of that country ; this will give us time to refleit; the eyes of this nation may at tail be opened, they •will then perceive the danger into which they hav ¥ been led by his Majesty's minis ters, and compel them to relinquilh a litu ation for which they have proved them selves so totally unfit. Peace may then be made, for peace only can raise our funds, or revive our drooping commerce. Peace only caii save this country from ruin. UNITED STATES.

He concluded his speech on that bccafion wjth the following words: " Let our popular societies seize every means of developing the crimes of the British Government, and of proving that its Minilter has familiarized national des potism, and in a pompous manner has fubllantiated the Royal Tyranny—lt is the form of this "government, that you ought to dellroy !" According to the India papers, re ceived by Captain Afhmead, the French Cruizers in the Indian Seas, have been ve ry fuccefsful—they have taken a Dutch Eafl lndiaman, worth 100,000 pounds sterling ; also a valuable Dutch Brig—an English ship, the Recovery, Captain Greenway, lanfomed for 30,000 dollais, and the.

A gentleman just arrived from New port, Rhode-Ifland-informs, tbat on Tues day evening arrived there from Marti nique,an Englilh tranfport,having on board general the {count Rochambeau, with his Suite, consisting of 8 officers. The trans port was convoyed by the Vesuvius bomb (hip, which left Newport the next morn ing. By the Captaiu of the transport we learn, that Fort Royal, Martinique, was attacked and carried on the 2ill. and that Fort Bourbon capitulated 0:1 the 23d of March. In the Fort were 150 regular troops, and about 800 mulattoes. It was stipulated that the General and his Suite should be sent to America, and the troops to France. The above Captain fays, that Fort Bour bon iurrendered in consequence of the English having discovered and destroyed the pipes by which they received their wa ter in the {jarrifon. It was reported before the above vessels failed that a French fleet and troops had arrived somewhere in theWeft-Indies and that the English were at present ill manned, owing to their having garrisoned the forts tVey had taken with the sailors. By the vefTel arrived from Shelburne a bout two days ago- we learn that the Fe bruary mail from England was arrived at Halifax : the letters brought by her may be daily expetted. The Comte de Rochambeau is expect ed in this City on his way toPhiladelphia. 1 he Vesuvius (loop of war, we are told, is returned to the Weft-Indies, end the Bri tania transport which brought his Suite from Martinico, is still at Newport Gen. Grey's army is gone against the island of Gaudaloupe. Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Ambuscade, dated Chefapeak Bay, April 5, 2d year of the French Repub lie, one and indiyifible. " We have made twocruifes, but with ittle fuccris, having taken only 3 prizes 2 of them English and tie other Spanish; we expect with impatience the New- York convoy,and have orders to hold our selves in readiness to fail immediately on their arrival. • "We have found many friends in the brave Americans of NtwlYork. Those 9C Norfolk and Hampton, have llicwn us an attention no less flattering. We can not quit the American shore without foine regret, but Ihall have the pleasing fatisfac tion on our arrival in France, of inform ing our countrymen of the friendly con duct of the Americans towards us. " The late Triumphs of Liberty, how ever, will make our return doubly aggre able. " The Frigate La Concorde, and a Corvette, remain on this station." For the Gazette of the United States. Mr. Fenno» •* YOljR correspondent of Saturday, L. E. in language of triumph and abuse, stigma tises Democratic Societies, as conspirators against equality, because they are defigued to acquire influence. , , The disguise is too thin, to conceal a cloven foot. The influence he opposes, is the influ ence 6f reason, and the equality he contends for, is an equality in ig orance.' The human mind, in proportion as it excludes this species of influence, is fitted to bear the frauds, as the body is to bear the burthens, of those privileged orders, who teach ignorance, and who yet extort for their tuition, an extrava gant compensation. L. E, allows to a citizen, the occasional equality of a solitary vote, but if three citi zens assemble to confer upon public affairs, he exclaims in all the rage of ariftocratical PK.de —" You are a club of conspirators— mmd your own business"—Shoemaker to jour This doctrine proposes a crusade in favor of a political papacy, for the extermination of ail writings and opinions, violating the jure divino pretensions of the powers that be. It may be thus epitomised. " Several citizens must not confer and deliberate upon public affairs, left their de liberations Ihould influence one citizen. With out conferences public affairs cannot be un derstood, and 'f fe-veral citizens cannot pub lish their political opinions, without being chargeable with the insolent intention of in fluencing others, a portion, a fmgle citizen cannot do it. It would evince a monarchical delign in the one, as it is a proof of aristo cracy in the many. All men have minds, but all men are not equally informed; and any attempt of those informed (the well born or paper men always excepted) to in ftruift the uninformed, is, an insolent claim of luperiority." Therefore the right of think ing, and the right of voting, are all the rights which equally allows, in the opinion of this ariftocratical champion. According to him, the art of printing, and the law to secure to authors their own works, are em blems of slavery, becaul'e they imply, that one human being may impudently attempt to inform others. Indeed Mr. Fenno, the reservoir of arifto cntical deception is, almost exhaufted,for this last potion, appears so evidently to be inter mingled with the lees, that the good taste of the people of America (tho'it is unjufily insinuated that they are somewhat base and ignorant) will at once perceive its poisonous quality. A DEMOCRAT. A letter trom Havre of the 24th Jan. to a gentleman in this city, informs, that the National Convention has decreed the release of the American shipping—but whether they will be permitted to depart, oaded, or not, the letter does not fay. A paper of the I oth February, received by Capt. Truxton, contains the British Minister's budget and fpeech—from which it appears that the war against France is to be prosecuted with all the resources of Great Britain. The Minister fays they fight pro aris et focis —for their Altars and Fire Sides. From several refpedtable quarters we are informed that the dispatches from the Ame rican Minister at the Court of London just received, do not as has been publi&ed, (hew that the British adminiltration are unfavor ably inclined to the United States. The Minister plenipotentiary of the French Republic, has not received any official account of the recapture of Va lenciennes. A report of that event was brought by the veflel arrived at Norfolk, from Rochfort—the printed accounts from Fiance, by this veflel, are to the I ith of February, at which time, General Jour dan was preparing to make an aflault on Prince Saxe Cobourg, with an army of 150,000 me .
