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.

CHARLESTON, June j,
Yelterday was e. 'euted purfiant to his
fentenee, Michael Holchz, convicted of
the murder ' Duncari, ofl board
the ftjip Apollo, Cape. 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.

ceeded to Governor's- Island, where they
performed a day's l ibor on the fortificn

of the commander in chief,as one of the

this occali-on, conlifled of two huridre<l

as could be advantageously employed.
There is every reason to believe that
the inhabitantscempofmg the diftrift of

play the like patriotism with their bre
