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.

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.
