FRXDERICK AuGUSTUsMuHIiENBERa, Speaker of the House of Reprefentntives, John Adams, Vice-President of the United States, and President of the Senate. Approved—May the ninth 1794. G°. Washington President of the United States. By this Day's Mail. NEIVTORK, May 13. y?"ttrrhy morning,, 9 o'clock, the Hon. JOHN JAY, Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Gteat Britain, with Mr. TRUM BDL, his Secretary, embarked for London 011 board the (hip Ohio, Capt. Kemp. The Difinel Judge, fuchof the Judges of the Supreme Court of this State, as were in this City, many other Civil Officers, and an immense coneourl'e of refpedable Citizens, attended Mr. Jar from his house to thfcihiju When-Ac miaiaer the Citizens- saluted him with three cheers and acclamations, which were repeated when the (hip left the wharf. The citizens then pro ceeded to the Battery, where as soon as the Ohio arrived, Mr. Jay was saluted with a dileharge of cannon, which was immediately followed by three cheers from Governor's Itland. Seldom have we seen so numerous and refpediable a collection of Citizens ; and such demonftrntions of a sincere desire that the embassy may be fnccefsful. It gives us pfeafure to add, that Mr. Jay, on taking leave of the company, exprefled, in a (hort address, his fenfibifity and gratitude for their attentions, and a (lured them of his determination to do everything in his power to efTed the object of his million and secure to us the bladings of peace. Great credit is due to the citizens of New- V ork, for the (pirit and unanimity with which they aid at the works on Governor's Kland. The voluntary services performed on the for tifications amount to many thousand days work. The zeal of all parties in this business proves, that howaver men may differ on speculative points, or certain nieafures of government of little importance, yet all men agree to put the country in a poflureof defence. Indeed . the difference of parties seems in reality to be this: whether we (hall go to war before it is necedary or not. Agreeable to public not,;,cation, the Tam many Socicty met at Mr. Hunter's tavern i- ye.lerday, and, at n o'clock, \vt:!k:d in pro :e cefticn to the Dutch church, where, to a nn c] merous and crouded auJiente, Mr. Jo'n B. t Johnfoil ddlivcred an animated c.-a ion, on Union,, wherein he difpliyc-d, v'it'i greit eioqu.'nfe and oratory, the great uenefits n resulting from union and patriotiiin.

TOWN MEETING. : Yesterday the inhabitants of this town, 1 aflembled in town meeting for the purpose of chooling fnitable persons to represent in General Court the year, when i the following petfons were eledted. Will am Tudor, William Euftis, Jo t fepli Bkke, Thomas Edwards, Charles , Jarvis, John Winthrop, Perez Morton. [ Several fpiritedrefolutions were pafied • i at the above meeting to prevent foreftall ing in the public market. GUADELOUPE. Since our Iafl: there has been three arrivals from Guadaloupe, which bring in formation fiom that Idand, as'late as the 6th of April, at which time it had not been attacked by the Bntifh, though hav ing heard of the capture of Martinico, it was momently expected. By some it was supposed a feeble refinance only would be made ; others, that it would be found dif ficult to conquer. The fort is said to mount 106 pieces of cannon; and the whole Idand has plenty of provisions, at pvefent, We hear that the Capt. of a veflel ar rived at Salem, in a ihort pafTage from Guadaloupe, saw the British fleet close in with the Idand, and during the night heard the firing of cannon. From Bourdeaux, Marih 18. Yesterday arrived here the brig Diana, Capt. Martin Pease, 4" days from Bour dcax, where he has been detaiped several months thc-embargo on American vel pers brought by this vjfly, but the verbal information of the Captain is rather gloo my 011 the part of France. He mentions that the French army opposed to the Soan iards had loft ground ; that the Northern at my remained in Jldtu quo, neither advan cing nor retreating that the rebels were nearly conquered ; that provisions were very scarce at Boirrdeaux, which occa foiled some commotions in the City ; that for the last three weeks there was no bread in the place. He further believed, that this scarcity of provisions was general throughout F/ance. We publiflt the above intelligence, as we received it, wliich, we conceive con sonant to our duty. Every one will have an opportunity of commenting on it as he pleases. Some will be disposed to heighten the gloomy colors on the French fide ; and others difbeiieve it in toto. A French gentleman, pafTenger with Cap:.W!v P,-.| wUU a script of his own, of which we have pro cured a trandation. We would remind our readers, that our informant is proba bly unacquainted with our means of in formation refpeding European occurren ces. Snbjlancc of the Manuscript. He fays, that the Convention has been so very busy, ever since the ift of Feb. that it pafled none but such decrees, as were dictated by eircumftances ; among which was diftinguiflied that which con demns to imprisonment, during the war and banishment after, all such persons as have n»-t manifeftcd their avowal of the revolution, scc. &c. Ihe armies of the combined powers, whose advanced pofls, were already at St. Quentin, were in a formidable train. Tlie duke of Brunfwick, continues our kind informant, had by a retrograde move ment, the better to fecore his winter quar tcrs, gone into Alsace, and the French had retreated forward to Strafburg. As to the Spaniards, they have beat too ; they have taken Collioure, Post V enore, &c. they a-pewprcs that is, near ly destroyed the whole army, which was opposed to them. Rifum ! They were *oing to make the f.ege of Perpignan— - the French army had been th/whole of th* winter witho jt any provisions. * 1 he troubles of La Vendee, our intel igencer fays, is in a formidable ilate ; they i ha.e pofledion of th.ee-fouithj of France. New* indeed ! The Convention was at last very low spirited, it began to doubt of fjccefs, and although they wanted new levies, yet did not pre fume to demand any thing of the nation. A very great diffi ; culty occasioned by the altonifhing want of arms (they want arms in France, so fiys Billy PiTt) and what they have are i of bud quality. The Scarcity of provisions was very great —Frenchmen now live upon roots. Even Paris began to feel the efFects of Famine. Our informant, goes on to relate the apprehensions that were entertained of a nother mafTacre exaS/y similar to that which took place at Paris in 1792, but this he gives as his opinion. Cut this opinion of his, traces a most dreadful picture of the situation of France, Which, he fays, " being divided between rage and fury ; presents nothing but but chers and vidlims." " The Aflembly is not less divided, in more violent disunion than that which j waited upon 50 of its members to the Guillotine, portending a bloody revolution in Paiis, &c. &c." PHILADELPHIA. The difcufiion of the bill providing for funding and paying the interest on the ba lance due to the creditor Hates, agreeably to the reports of the CommifTioners, has engaged the attention of the House of Reprefentatiyes for the la(t 2 or 3 days ; this day the bill was palled to be engrofied for a third reading. By Capt. Keown arrived here from Char leston, we learn that one of the men on board hislhip who was stabbed in the affray, (mentioned in a former paper) with fonie Frenchmen, died the day after of the wound he received.
