He also mentions, that it Itemed to be the opinion in France that much depended upon the election of the President, as eoeof the candidates was con Cd-red as a friend •f England, and the other as devoted to Franc*. The people of France, he observes, have been greatly deceived, with refpefl to the United States, by mifrepreftrnations, being led to be lieve, that the People and Government have dif ferent views ; but, adds he, any attempt to di vide the People from the Government, ought to be to the People of the United States, the Jignal far rallying —GenEinckntyfeveral times men tions Mr. Monroe in this letter with great ref peft ; and fays that before bis arrival the Di reilery had been very cool towards him, but since that time, they had renewed their aivilities to him. t Is a report ef Major-General Mountflo rtnee to General Pinekney, dated Dec. 18,1796, on the fubjefl of American veiTels brought pri ses into the ports of France. 3.

A letter from the minister of Spain, resident in Philadelphia, to the Secretary of State, dated May 6, 1 complaining of the injurious operation of the Britilh Treaty against Spain, in three refpeflt, viz. as it destroys the do&rine of free ships making free goods ; as it makes certain articles con traband of was, which in former, ireatiet were not considered lo ; and as it givet to Great Britain a. right to navigate the Milfi fippi, which that minister infills belonged not to us "to give, as it belonged wholly to Spain before it gave the right tethe United States, by the late treaty,® to navigate that river.—». He concludes his letter with faying, that the King of Spain is desirous of harmorfy between the two countries, and relies upon the equality of his complaints for fatisfae tion. 17. A letter from the Secretary of State to the Spanish minister, in answer to the above ; in which he acknowledges that the treaty lately concluded b, tween the two countries, had prov ed'fatisfa<Sory to the United States, as it put an end to a dispute wh'ch had exiited for many years refpeifling the navigation of the Milfilippi, and also as it afforded fatisfaSion to our mer cantile citizens for the capture-os our ffiips and cargoes All these, he allowed, were a<sls of fubffabtial justice ; but all the ctker ftipulatiotis were wholly voluntary, and perfetSly reciprocal.- With refpeft to the three articles of complaint refpeAing the Britilh treaty, he juftified the Ih pulations as being just and consistent, and such as this country had a right to enter into. 18. A letter from general Pin kney to the Se cretary of State, dated Paris, February j, Hat ing that the day after the arrival of the news of the French general Buonaparte's fuceeffes in Ita ly, he received a letter from M. Delacroix, di re&ing him to Ipave Paris. Gen. Pinekney con dudes this letter with observing, that the French seemed to speak of this country as if it were indebted to them for Independence, and not to any exertions of our own. Our treaty with Great-Britain is execrated : they with us tahave no connexion with that country ; they wish to to destroy the trade of Oreat-Britain, and they look upon us as her best cuftorner. The whole of these documents having been read, on motion, they were committed to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the U nion, and 500 copies ordered to be printed. Mr. Venable, from the Committee appointed to prepare an aqfwer to the Speech of the Presi dent, reported one (pretty much an echo of the Speech) which was twice read and.committed to a committee of the whole. On the Speaker esquiring for wh»t day it fliould be mader, Mr. W. Smith mentioned to morrow—Mr. Nicholas Monday., Mr. Giles said the Answer could not be print ed before to-morrow. As it was, perhaps, the most important answer which ever was returned to a speech finee thncommencemeni. *f the pre sent government, and therefore ougqt to be well considered, he thought Monday as early as it ought to be taken up. Mr. Livingfton said there was another reason for delay. In the reading of the Answer, it appeared to him to go to an approbation of alt the measures of the executive in /elation to fo reign nations. If so, it was of the utmost eonftquence that the papers which had just been read, Ihould also he laid before rhem previous to its difeuffion, as they < ould not form an opinion on that fubjedl until they had au opportunity of perufisg these papers. The question was carried for Monday. Mr. New presented the-petition of Robert Rutherford, complaining of the undue ele&ioii of gen. Morgan (for the diftrifl which he for merly represented) and praying for redrefc in the prcmifes Referred to the Committee of Eleflions. Mr- W, Smith moved, that as the eonfidera tion of the anfwtr to .he P efidtnf'sSpeech was made the order for Mouday, that when the House adjourued, it naight adjourn to that elay.

Several officers of the Italian army, who have been guilty 0/ mifcondutS, have been rigorously punished by the archduke ; but it is not true that any have been hanged. Great quantities of heavy artillery have been fcrit to the Italian army.—2o,6oo men of the new. raifedHungarian troops will go to the army on the Rhine ; and a corps »f refeive of i2,QtS> men will be formed from 'the recruits from Bohemia, Gallicia, &«. THE MOP.N.tN.O CHRONICLE. . LONDON, April. I. We lament to fay, that according to the reports in the-beft informed political circles, the accounts which ministers received from tbe-contineot on Thurfdav, by no means an nounce the profpeft of peace to any of the belligerent powers. The league of the Pro tcftant princes of Germany begins now to manifefl and intentions. The army of the king of Pruflia is atSlually in motion, and his deligns are no longer equivocal. He threaten! to fall upop Bohemia, while Buona parte penetrates by the Tyrol, and Hoche by the Lower Rhmc. This formidable at tack, in the exhausted Hate of the house of Austria, threaten! the very exigence of the emperor, and there is no doubt but he mull finally yield to their unprincipled demands. By this league, and mi the event of the feculat Ration of the-bifltopricks, the emperor will have the inadequate compensation of Saltzburg ; the king of Prußia will fcize on the rich bifhoprick of Munfter, end the elefl or of Hanover, upon Ofnaburgh.

The Hamburgh mail which arrived on Sa turday brings dill furrhec.confitmation of the important fad*, that the emperor of Germa ny, with a eondancy that doei honor to his courage, though it will be probably unavail ing, mutters all his Ifrength to stem the tor rent just ready to brealc in upon hisiiereditary doßimi.onsj and to force him to the surrender of his preponderance in the Germanic body.

The following article is from Hamburgh. It will appear that out miniders are more zealous in the cause. They have not only agreed tojrive the house of Austria fucconr in thoney dire 6t t but they have.held out most tempting offer! to RuHia of a large subsidy tq engage that court to inttrfere.— The article from Hamburgh is as follows : HAMBURGH, March 22.

The ar mies are generally in motion, and all appear ances indicate a most obstinate campaign ; in which, through councils te which wc are condemned, thii country is to be deeply involved. It it only by the declaratiwn of the united fenfeof the country that we can deliver our felvcs from this dreadful calamity. London has given a grand and laudable example. The common h'alf have solemnly ennfirmrd their firft resolution ; and w* have seen that the body of contractor! and jobbers, who thrive upon the public spoil, have not-dared, as heretofore, to agitate the question of a coun ter addr«f» in the common council.

" Yeflerday ftrotig reports and indeed publications were ciiculated, of.Pruffia hav ing joined i'rance with 60,000 troops, and that ihe Emperor |iad in cotifeqcience con cluded Peace.

It is supposed that the knowledge of these articles will draw R«ffia into hoftilitiej againlt Prussia and France : whether or no, it may not contribute to a general peace is matter of speculation.
