Extras from the proceedings of a meeting of Dr'egaies from the eleltiort diftriEls of Allegany Coun'y, held at Pitt/burgh, April 19, THOMAS MORTON in the ■ Chair. At this juncture we have France to as sist us, who, ftould we now, take a part, will riot fail to stand by us until Canada is independent hi Britain, and the instigators of Indian hostilities are removed ; and (hould we.lie by, while France is struggling for her liberties, it cannot be supposed that he'r republic will embark in a war on oiir account after fne fnall have' been vic torious. It was for this reason that though we approved of the conduct of the Presi dent, and the judiciary of the United States, in their endeavors to preserve peace; and an imparti.il neutrality until the sense of the n ition had been taken on the neces sity of retaliation by a filially declaring war, yet now that the Congrtfi have been convened, and such jult grounds exist, we are weary of their tardinels in coming for ward to measures of reprisal. Eat we have observed with great pain thai our councilswant the integiityorfpirit of republicans. This we attribute to the pernicious influence of stock-holders or their subordinates; and our minds feel this with fomueh indignancy, that we are al ipuft ready to with for a Hate of revolution and the guillotine of France for a fliort space in order to infli£t punifh'ment on the mifcrearits that enervate and disgrace our government.' Extmft from the Speech of Mr. Fox. " The condudl of ministers towards neutral powers, Mr. Fox laid, had been unwarrantable. How could they forbid Genoa so be neutral in a cause, of which, a few months before, they had themselves been neutral—their neutrality in which tliey had even boasted in that House.— The order, jffued relative to American ships, they had the prudence to withdraw, and he hoped the retraiflion had come in time to amend the error.—General Wash ington's admirable speech displayed all the temper, with all the firmnefs of that great man, and it was apparent enough, that untkr his guidance, America would strenuously preserve her rank among na tions. The misconduct and insolence of Genet, the French envoy, had not pro voked General Washington to any mea sures, which could tend unneeeiTarily to produce a rupture with'the French. He had atTcrted his own dignity by de/nand - iug the recal of that minnler, which was granted, and the intercourse of America with France was preferred."

From Gibralter. Arrived here, the Ihip Commerce, Capt. Loring, from Gibraltar, in 64 days. He came out with an Englifli convoy, in compa ny with the Raven, Plummer, of Boltoa, wco put into Cadiz.—*By accounts from the Levant, there was but one American lhip within the Streights. A few days previous to Capt. Loring's failing, art Algerine brig, of 22 guns, and >280 men, came into Gi braltar, to water, after Wh'ich (he failed on a cruise to the westward. By means of a Mooriih gentleman, who wa3 requested to aik the officers, the force which would cruize from Algiers this Summer, we learn, they would have at sea, 1 frigate 44 guns, 1 do. 36, 1 do. 28, one polacre ihip 24, 2 brigs, 22 each, 1 do. 14, 1 snow 16, 3 Xebecks ; and from Oran, they would fit out 1 brig 18 guns, 1 schooner, (formerly of Marblehead) 6 guns, I Tartan, 4 guns, and 2 Xebecks. They are all well manned, and equipped. They were then on a cruize of 60 days. The number of Christian slaves in Algiers, were 362, about 130 Americans. To alleviate their fufferings, a benevolent character at Cadiz, forwarded them 1000 dollars, and a gentle man of Hamburgh, 5001. sterling. The n American prizes, fold for 410,000 dollars, and the estimated ransom for the 130 Ame ricans, is 240,000. For the Gazette of the United States, Mr. Fenno, It is said by .some, that Mr. Bachc writes many of the pieces which are pub lilhed in his paper, as from Correspond ents—l am convinced the charge Is un jult ; and as the freedom of the press, de pends upon Editors feeling unembarrafled, I wish to contribute my mite towards pla cing the Editor of the General Adverti ser upon a footing which I think he de serves. You, Mr. Fenno, have doubtless obftr ved an attack upon your Gazette in Mr. Bache's paper of this morning, said to be, " From Correspondents," in the plu ral number ; and as this is,very unjustly, fnid to be written by Mr. Bache, I think I can set that matter right. It was drawn up and submitted to the consideration of "a certain Society, and af ter it was Corrected &' patted there, sent to another Society of the fame kind, and pa (Ted there—and privately ordered to be printed. If fan Aioned by the public, the iubftance of it. .will come out in the next Refol/es. Please to inform the gentlemen, that the competition is too mar.ly, polite and elegant, to escape notice—and that they may publish it among their Resolves with the utmost fafety, it certainly can not ciijgract them, and probably will gain them credit- But, Sir, let them learn, that while folly goes Only to ceremony, and meddles not with fuhjlance, men of sense will look on, with unconcci n, but beware of touch ing the sacred palladium of our Liberty, Government. The present French Minif ter,is too worthy a chara&er.to, befufpeft ed of,a wish to interfere with our internal government or the administration of it— and alt ho' knaves and fools, expressed a fellow-feeling for his predecessor, when his unjiithfiaLle conduct was exposed and reprobated; yet it is sincerely hoped the prefeut Mimfter, may be spared, by that fame junto, when the only accusation they can bring acjainft him, is honeity and pro priety of conduct. It must however be acknowledged, that he 13 in danger from them, for by their attacks upon the Senate, Cfyief Jufti'ce and President, it is very manifeft, they either cannot, or will not suppress their general antipathy to integrity, wherever they discover it. Really Sir, this kind of gentry who .write the pieces above alluded to in Mr. Bache's paper, and others of a similar nature, excite the old question, Cuius Pecus ? A REPUBLICAN. ,sth May, 1794.
