He is supposed to have come for in- t formation refpefting American vessels about f to fail, and is to return in a few days.— a Merchants and others ought to attend to \ this. r J ul Y H* I Yesterday an elegant entertainment was given to James Monroe, late minister pleni- 1 potentiary of the United States, near the re- 1 public of France, on his return to his coun- c try, after a tedious and unthankful embassy, r in which his abilities and influence were ex- ( erted to preserve a friendly and good nn- c derftanding between the two republics.— \ This feftival was attended by a numerous and refjje&able company of genuine repub licans—General Horatio Gates in the chair. After dinner the following toasts were drank, interspersed with various patriotic and other songs : TOASTS. 1.

" In one of my letters I wrote that they ' had no idea of fending an army to America, ) and I formed my opinion from the state of . their marine, and the impoffilnlity they were ! under of restoring it for a long time. But - various circumlfances now lead me to a dif ) ferent and with refpeft to the ma rine, they are preparing to turn their exer . tion towards it, as may be ccllefted clearly . from the pamphlet of Theremin, which I sent ; you a few days ago." [ FREDERICK-TOWN, (M.) July 5. . Extra 3 of a letter from a gentleman at Phila delphia, dated June 27, 1797* " No doubt remains of peace havingtaken ; 'place between France and Austria, and I . hope a peace between France and England ' will immediately follow, for we (hall never , get right until the event happens. " The Britlfh nation is in a situation that will produce important events if a speedy peace should not take place. The mutiny in their fleet must be very alarming, and I have no expeftation that discipline reftcred during, the war. Their finances are far from being in a good way; and I, for i some time, have entertained no doubt of t their enormious debt, sooner or later, bear ing them down. The continuance of the ; war would certainly haflen that event. In • deed a}l Europe mtift continue in an unfet -1 tied condition for some time after peace is , agreed on, and we shall certainly derive ad ) vantageous from it, in point of wealth, if we manage cur affairs with wisdom and pru dence enough to induce foreigners to fend their property here: however I am no advocate for foreigners being admitted to become citi- i zeris on the easy terms they have heretofore been indulged in. We' have already expe rienced great inconveniences from fuffering people of all natipnsbecoming citizensbefore they have resided long enough in the coun try to give them a warm affe£tion for its permanent intereits. From " The Rights of Man'"'. AQUERE! Whether Mr. Jefferfon did fay, since lie has taken his present position that " it was " the intention of Mr. Adams (the Prefi " dent) and his party, oh the call of Con " grefs, to declare war against France if " there had been arefpe&able majority"— or, whether he had indubitable authority for it, if he did fay so, is not fatisfaftorily as certained,—Report fays, two gentlemen of refpeftability in George-Town, lately aver red that Major F -told them he had received a letter from Mr. jefferfon since he went to Philadelphia, containing the above sentiments. Report also fays, however, that a third gentleman, equally refpeftable, declared, when he heard it mentioned in company, that the letter was (hewn, by Mr. F , in confidence, and that the above sentence was not in it; but that it was an improper let ter. As the solution of this question may be gratifying to the citizens at large, at the pre sent interesting erifis, the investigation is humbly submitted to Peter Porcupine, Mr. Bache, and other Critics. It is supposed that the names of the with in mentioned gentlemen might readily be had if necessary. CITIZEN. Frederick, (Anniversary of Independence) '97.
