FREDERICK A. MuHISN'BEftC, ■ Speaker of the House of Representatives. Rai?h Izard,' President of th« Senate, pro tempore. Approved—Jane tNe £th, 1794. G°. WASHINGTON* . President of the United States. PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 2(5. Thefollowing speech made in the Britijh IJoufe of Commons on the I oth of A pril, explains some tmnfaSions which have heretofore been obfeurely detailed. It ivar occtifioned by a motion for an enquiry into the conduct of the war. L"rd M'.rlgrave said, that finding hirofelf called upon for an answer, had he not been pofiefTed of a local know ledge, he moil undoubtedly would have 1 fat hirolelf under conliderable difficulty to have offered any fentimcnts upon the present occasion, in conftquencc of the veiy able, clear and eloquent manner that the qjieflion had been treated by the Hon. Gentleman that spoke lait. iiw points that he (hould have occaii <»n to touch upon in regard to Toulon, were, fir.f, the (hare we took in the Civil jAfFafrg; f< condly, the mode of defence (hat had been ptirfued; and thirdly, the criminality of the Evacua tion, I n regard to what had been said ref fvfting the White Flag, he was alto when he heard it said, that Lord Hood had forced the White Flag upon the inhabitants. The noble Lord took ypon himfelf to fay, that the White Hag- was not fuggelted by Lord Hood, uiit was proposed on the ill of October '>>' M. Baytille, the President of the ■Vuffimittee of fafety in the municipality. 1 his M. Bayriile came to his Lord- Klip, and requeued that he, and the irveral Officers, British, Spanish and Neapolitan, would attend the ceremony of hoilling the White Flag. His Lordship said, he not only refufed him iel* to accede to this request, but also exprcfsly forbade the Officers to attend, that it might not be supposed that we 1 meant in the most dittant (hapefo have any interference in the Government of France. The reason for bringing for ward the expression of 1789, was to quiet minds of the People, and to j convince them that they were to enter -1 tain no apprehension of the anarchy and tyianiiy that they had formerly felt. | His Lordship said, that no two of the j inhabitants agreed in their idea of the ! constitution-os 1789. W?th refpeft to j the four (hips that had been font away, there was an ablolute necessity for put ting such a project into execution, j Gentlemen Would recoileft that the j Town was delivered up by Treaty and j not by Gapitfllation. The Hon. Gen | tlcman was miltaken, if he supposed the | whole of the French Fleet' had agreed to the Articles of the Treaty. Several of tile French were much! averse to the terms, and held out for a considerable time, till they were overcome by a ma jority. Among the difaffefted were 6000 seamen, that had acted at various times in a riotous and (fining manner. Under such circuiiiftances, what was to be done ? They could not be contiuvd according to thf Articles of the Treaty, as they had committed no overt aft of violence. 1 herefore the belt way was to to get rid of thenfi, especially as they were willing to go. Then how were they to go ? They could not ftuirji away, and it was impolitic to fend them imme diately up the country to join the ene my. The method pilrfucd was the belt that could be adopted under such cir cumstances. In regard tothe fituatiooof Toulon, lubfeqcent to this period, he Cinderftood that some farcafnw had been thrown upon fuc circumllaiiceof his ar. rival in this' Country as fu.on his clif-■ patches relating to the (tateot the place. From hence it was inferred, thai he had no confidence in our beinsT able to retain the place. In answer to this hc.liad to. observe, that when he arrived in this Country, he entertained the molt fan guinehopcstlwi we would have been able to retain the of Toulon. No man regretted tile leaving Toulon more than he dyU-'i he reason for his Lord fh.p's com'.ng home was, that he, in confequeiice of tiie new Commifiion that was appointed, f ould not aft ia the fame rank that he formerly did.

Keowu. 1 BALTIMORE, June 21. Yelterday arrived here the schooner O" live Braiteh, formerly Capt. Ward of this port, from the Weft Indies. Three days after leaving Cape Le Bran, the Captain was taken ill and died in 7 days with, we are informed, one er more'of his hands. — They fortunately fell in with a veflel bound . from Philadelphia to Charleston, from which they procured a Captain and some hands, who brought her into this port. — She is ordered to ride quarantine, opposite Hawkins's Point until further orders from the Heal h Officer. June 23. By Capt. Jones, who arrived here on Saturday lall, after a palfage of 9 days from Charleston, we a're informed, that on Tuesday evening lalt, about 6 01- 8 leagues from Cape- Henry, he experi enced a very violent thunder itorm w'nicli lasted -about two hours. On Wednesday morning, he discovered a very large Ihip, about 4 leagues distant from the light-house, at anchor ; with a spy glass he could not clearly distinguish her name, but was of opinion she was the Paragon of Bolton. She had a white 'figuie head, yellow fides* pierced for a few guns, quarter-galleries, and appeared to have loft all her marts, ex cept the three lower, which retained stumps of the top malts—her forefail was clewed up, and appeared torn. All unfavorable light wind and strong tide rendered it impoflible for him to speak her, but was infoimed by his pilot, that one of the pilot boats had been along fide of her—she wore a flag with thir teen stripes, on the foremalt head, and a blue jack, with liars, was hoiiled abaft.
