BERMUDA, June 25.
There seems at present such a du
plicity in the Americans refpec'tin*
the war carrying on, that we ima
gine tney wiih to play the double
game; in Philadelphia and other
parts, they are fmotheriiig the
french Ambaliador with addiefles,

ALBANY, July rj.
The progrelfive improvements in
this city must be a source of pleasing
to all good citizens—
repairing ihe ltate : houfe, building
out docks, paving the ltreets, and
opening a pfiUage throogh tlie mid
dle of f'ort-Hill, are the important
objecfts now in hand : The latter
will be of the utmost consequence,
especially to the mercantile people
on the north fide of State-Street,
as the defceiu on that llde will be
the eafielk, should the south fide be
paved in the manner at present con
templated.
BALTIMORE, July rJ.
A report h.jviirg j eltei <lyy pre

privateer, tailed the citizen Genet,
had a recruiting party in this town ;
and tint for the accommodation of
the lame he h id eltablflbed a lioufe
of rendezvous at Kell's Point ; a
Committee of gentlemen were ap
pointed to inquire into the cireuin
itance. We are happy to inform
the public, that the gentlemen, up
on the fullell invefligatioti, were
perfectly f.ufsfied that there was no

dated July 5.
" General Boiel is in Jereniie ;
he i* inverted by an army from Port
au-Prince and Leogane ; he is aii'o
inverted by sea. It is said that Je

provision and ammunition.

We declare, that the will of the
French republic, and that of its de
legates, is to give liberty to all the
negro warriors, who will fight for
the republic under the orders of the
civil cununifiioners, as well againlt
the Spani.ii ds, as the other enemies,
'' whether internal or external.
The republic desires also to alle-
viate the condition of the other
Haves—l>y preventing them from be
ing ill-treated as formerly—furnifh
ing them with better provilions, and
more capacious apartments for their
. convenience ; higher wages by the
year, and more leisure through the
week to attend to their own affairs
—more kindness and refpedt for the
women who are pregnant, and for
nurfcs—by affording them certain
means of redeeming themselves, by
means of determined sums ; finally,
by giving gradually liberty to the
negroes who can furnilli proofs of
their good conduct, and of their as
siduity in labor, and by giving them
at the fame tipie pieces of land and
• property fufticient to afford them
selves and families an honed sub-
fillenre.
All the negroes who may be de
clared free by the delegates of the
republic, (hall be equal to all free
men, whether Y'hiteor of any other
colour: they enjoy all the
rights belonging to French citizens.
This is the million which the
Na:ionafl -'Convention' and the Exe
cutive Council bfVhe Republic have
given to the civil commissioners.

Philadelphia, July 2y.
On Sunrfiy fbe"h"Trr Mary, Cfrptafn
don, arrived at New-York from Cape Ffah-'
cois, which he left July 9. The pafifengers,
which are <p in number, inform, that it was
not supposed more tjian from 6 to 9 hundred
persons loft ther lives in the affair of the
—that not more than two-thirds of the town
were burnt—that upwards of 20,000 mulat toes
and blacks are now under a>nis there, well
fortified—that the negioes never crime in from
the country on the late occasion—-that the
Spaniards, from their part of the Jfland, had
taken a town, and were on their mat cSi j and
it is -said, are joined by the aristocrats and
country blacks, A\ Y. Pap.
The name of the French Enit-Indiamanj
arrived at New-York, is Port-Louis, (he is a
bout tons burthen, is commanded by ci
tizen Jarenter ; her cargo consists of spices,
silks, ware, fomc sugar, and various othei"

FRANCE.
By the IHip Hare, Capt. De Kay, in 64 days
from Bordeaux, which place he left thj tsch
May, we have received several French news
papers, but they contain few particulars of
the late-Battles on the 7, 8, and 9th of May.
—Many were llain of each army ; though the
French ]ofs was great, that of the combined
armies was much g'eater; hut that the French
had 101 l Gen. Dampiere, as has been before
announced in several papers, which they
greatly lamented. The combined forces had
made no impreifion on any of the fortified ci
ties, said to be inverted. On the whole, that
France had little to fear from th# combined
powers—their difficulties arose from inter
nal differences among themselves {'from cqoo
ter-r volutionifts and other difcootented in
cendiaries, which were in a fair way of being
fettled by the forces raised to oppose them.
Provisions of"all kinds were plenty, and not
higher than in England—that Bordeaux was
perfe&ly quiet—that in foine places many -
lives of the incendiaries were cut oil—that it
was necessary that many Ihould be cut oIF to .
save the country from anarchy and ruin,
far we have heard from ('apt. De "Kay and
some palfengers ; 2i paflengers arrived here
in the ship.

44 Peace on Earth this is a patriotic

u But with war, and rumours of war, our
ears, in this imperfect ftatc of things are still af
faile'd.
4< Into this unnatural flatc, should a nation
fuffer herfelf to be drawn without her own *<7,
or the ast of kirn, or them, to whom, lor this
purpnfe (he has delegated her power ?
44 Io:o this unnatural (late, (hould a nation
fdffer hrrfe+f to b<r drawn by the- unauthorized,
nay', by the unlicenfcd conduit ot any or her
citizens ?
41 Thcfe, gentlemen, ate questions, to which
you are now called to give the clolVll and deep
est attention.
w That a citizen, who in oar state of neutral
ity , and without the authority of the nation, takis
an hostile part with either of the belligerent
powers, violates thereby hit duty, and the laws
of his country, is a pofuion as plain, as to require
no proof, and to be scarcely fufctpnble ot deni-
** Under the t-reatv of amity and commerce
between the CJvited States and France, it may be
made a queUion, whetherthe pnyateeisof that
power have a right to pit thEiR ships
IN OUR PORTS.
4 ' This qurftion arifts from the 22tl article of
'hat treaty— 44 It ftiall not be lawful tor any
foreign privateers,not belonging tothc fu*>jr&s of
the Moil Chriitian Maicjiy, nor cm/ens of the
United State?, who have commiflions Irom any
other prince or fta'.e in enmity with either na
, tion, to fit their ships in the potts of either the
or the other of the aforefaid patties."
" If maybe that this prohibition a
ga'nft fitting the (hips or privateers belonging to
any other nation implies a perinijjion to fit the flip*
or privateer* belonging u> France. But the in
feience cannot jullly be drawn. If, by a pro
' mifc made to tine person, 1 restrain mylcif irom
lending money to any others, I am not surely,
by that retraining engagement, obliged to lend
my money to him. It may be convenient, u
may be necejjary for me to refeive us application
exclufiveiy lor my own purposes. In the fame
manner, by a stipulation that, in a war between
France and Britain, we will not lend the
use of o,ur ports to the privateers of the latter —
we are, by no means, obliged to lend it to those
of the former. It may be convenient, it may
be necessary, for us to refufe it to both.
44 True it is, that, by the treaty, we arc obliged
to it to Britain, and this, to one of the
parties, wA* probably an important object. But
it remain's in our option whether we will, ur
will not, grant it to France.
" Both thr nation* which made this treaty
iniaht the most unexceptionable, nay, the
mod commendable motives tor reserving to
thcmfelvcs this option; — France, particolai ,
might have the (trongeft ita'on*, tor icfufing to
bmd herfelf, at all events, to permit even the
United fetes, *o fit out, in her pom, private rs
again(i -any nation (however united to her by com
pAClj with which the United States might be at
fftav-Yoik Diary.^
** This option, pcihapx, with Fiance t a favor,
ite one, each oi the patties to the Meaty rtferve
the power ot making. This option, our nation,
or its reprdcntanvck lor ihdt purpoit, have Dot
yet made. This op'itm, private titizcns Ire
certainly unauthorised and unwarranted to
make. Private.citizens, therefore, af[ift>iig in.
a buGnefs of ibis kind, offend ihe lau i and for
thhr offences aie amtnabu to thejuftice oj the
