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."

half a day in every week. We are besides
bringing the water underground in 470
pipes from the Weft Mountain, to every

NEW-YORK, May 3.
Thursday night Capt. Clark was going to
his Ihip, he was attacked by an attrocious
scoundrel, with a long knife tapered oiflike
the point of a sword ; he seized Capt. Clark,
j and fixed the knife to his brealt, and threat
ened that he would run it into him, unless he
delivered his purse immediately. Captain
Clark while he was threatening, took the
opportunity of giving him a blow on the
' head, which ftunnedand caused him to drop
the knife, which Capt. Clark took up: The
villain efeaped.
On Thursday evening arrived the Xebec
Sins Culottes, Captain Molinary, from a
Ci-uize.—About fix leagues off the Hook (he
took the brig Mary, Capt. Collin, of White
haven, Great Britain. The Sans Culottes
carries 10 long nine pounders and 70 men,
and has taken many rich prizes on this coals.

authority. The whole fleet, except the Asia,
With i; oq picked men on ijpard, wen: against

BOSTON, April 26.
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.

" Our Demagogues a& in concert with

Tranjlateel from the Leyden Gazette of the
Ith March.
1 he mod recent advices from, Fran
kfort explain the firft reports relative to
what took place on the arrival of the two
French commifiioners—lt was not the
people of this city who took offence at the
Jacobin ornaments which adorned their
chariots—lt was ast ranger, a Ruffian, who
would have torn off their ornaments by
force. As a reparation the Prussian Gen.
Count Kalckreuth catifpd him to be
ed, and he will not be released but at the
intervention of the minister of that nation^
It appears that these commiilioners have
been received with all the honors usually
paid to public chara&ers. They have
commenecd their conferences with M. de
Kalckreuth and it is the general idea,'
that they are not limply charged with the
bulinefs of exchanging prisoners—mean-
time their (lay at Frankfort is prolonged,
and the result of the firft interview, has
been sent by express to their refpedive fu
pcriors.
