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

made, for peace only can raise our funds,
or revive our drooping commerce. Peace
only caii save this country from ruin.

" Let our popular societies seize every

NEW-YORK, April 20.
From a Correfpondeni.
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 .
