By the evidence produced in this
«aufe, the following fads appear :
That the schooner Success was a Bri
ti(h ■ysffel, on a trading voyage from
Halifax ro and thence to Ha-
That on the evening of the firlt
day of September last, (he failed frorn
the Long Wharf, so called, in Bolton,
bound to Halifax, and the wind not
being fair, (he came to anchor near
Lovell's IflaVld, and the harbor of Bos
ton, where (he continued till the even
ing of th£ third ef September. At a
bout one quarter of an 1:our before nine
o'clock file got under way and pUrsued
her voyage. Soon after (he left the
lighx-boute, the people on board difco
tered a boat afteru, which ■pursued her,
and at about half pad ten' o'clock, came
up with her, and took pofleffion of her
by force as prize, having prerioufly
fired two (hots from swivels, at, or to
wards her. At the time when (he
liirrendered, (lie was not less than fix,
nor more than nine miles from the light
house, and was not more than one ma
rine league from land. This boat was an
armed" boat belonging to tlie (hip Con
corde, then lying in Bolton harbor, a
(hip of war belonging to, and it) the
service of, the Republic of France.
This boat had been lying in wait in
the harbor of Boston, with intent to
pursue the schooner, and capture her,
having left the Concorde, the fame e
fening that the Success left the wharf,
and takea her station on the back of
Lovell's Island, where (he watched the
motions of the schooner, and as soon as
the schooner came to fail, on the even
ing of the third of September, pursued
her with an intent to capture her. One
Samuel Rogers, an American citizen,
entered on board the boat at Boston, as
a pilot, and .continued on board from
the time (he left the Concorde, and di
re&ed the courfc of her pursuit, and by
direction of the French officer which
commanded her, hailed the schooner, and
ordered her to strike. The schooner,
when (he surrendered, was without the
points of land which form the harbor
of Boston, which are nearly in a line
with the light-house ; (he was within
the bay called fometime3 Massachusetts
Bay, and sometimes Boston Bay, and
would have been nearly interfered by a
line extended from Cohafiet te Marble
head, the points of which are about six
teen or seventeen marine miles asunder,
several leagues within Cape-Ann and
Cape-Cod, which aie about 40 miles
from each other. She was not far from
the centre of the water* where fi(h are
caught for the daily supply of tbe inha
bitants of the towns adjatent, particular
ly those of Boston and Charleston. The
waters near the (hores on both fides, for
the fame distance, are employed for the
fame purpose, by the inhabitants in
their vicinity, and some of the bays, as
that of Ipswich, are more used for the
like purpose.
Every neutral nation is bound to aft
fairly towards such belligerent powers,
whose vefiels enter their ports and har
bours for the purpose of trade, and not
to fuller them to be entrapped and cap
tured under such circumstances as they
ought to have prevented, when they are
under their protection and in confidence
of fafety ; and (hould cause restoration
to be made, if they are within their
jtirifdi&ion when taken.
A nation profeffing neutrality, if, in
consequence of treaties they admit the
_ teffels of war of one of the belligerent
powers, and receive the trading vessels
of another, would effe&ually destroy
their own trade with the other nation,
in their own ports, aud juiUy incur the
imputation of partiality, and expose
themselves to become a party in the
war, if they (hall permit their trading
vefiels to be way-laid in their harbouis,
and pursued in and frojn them thence,
immediately on their failing, by the ves
sels of war of their enemies, or armed
boats detached from them, and captu
red and brought back to the neutral
ports, without interesting and raufing
tharn to be restored, and things placed
in Jlatu quo.
This expedition appears to have ori
ginated in the harbour of. Boflon ; the
hostile permit commenced there, and
continued until the fnrrender of the
schooner in the place before described.
The course of the pursuit was under
the dire&ion of an American citizen,
who entered a» pilot for the purpose.
Under these 1 am of
opinion ttitf "capture was unlawful, and
do order and decree, that the schooner
Success, )ier appurtenances, and the pro
perty found on board at the time of the
capture, be restored to the libelhnt.—
The property oh board, of which proof
has been given, in two thousand and
four hundred dollars, and the articles
mentioned in the schedules annexed to
the libel excepting those marked with
a cross, and in the schedules number
20, it, 22 and 23. That the sum of
one'hundred and fixty-five dollars be
paid by the captors to the libellant, for
damages sustained by him for the hire
of the schooner, and the provisionS of
the men since the capture and costs.

Ever} mode which ingenuity can fuggejl
is adopted by the French Commanders to
conciliate the affeSions of the inhabitants of
this city, they have recommended to the
magijlrates of Brussels and its environs,,
the laws which were mojl consonant to
them. They have ordered tlx renewal of
thefame impofls which bad been •flablifhed
during the sovereignty of the Emperor.
A Proclamation to th a t tffeti in which the
activity of Laurent and Guy ton is highly
praised, has been circulated. It is signed
H. Van Langendorct and has been struck
upon the walls of the city
It is reported,but we know not on what
authority, that Hluts has at length been obli
ged to Surrender to the French ; and that
they next mean to attackJ'uccefftvely, Phili
pine, Sas de Grand, AxeX and Hutjt. If
the French fuceeed, it will render them ma
flers of the right fide of the Sebeldt, and en
tirely put a flop to the navigation of that
river.—The conquefl, however will not be
an easy one,fame of these places being, and
all of them capable of being inundated in the
vicinity.
Our Franckfort carrefpondent has com
municated to us a circumjlance, which mufl
be productive of the mofl important effeSs
on the operations of the war. He fays that
symptoms of Infurreftion have manifeflcd
themselves in various parts of the empire.
At Vienna a conspiracy has recently been dif
covercd in which several persons of high
rauk were concerned. Two hundred persons
have already been arrefled. Nor are the
Northern powers entirely free from theJ'pi
rit of Revolution.
Some accounts from the Rhine mention,
that Warsaw has surrendered to his Prussi
an Majesty hy capitulation —Other and
more probable accounts from Gallicia slate
that the PruJJians were repulsed on the 31ft
ult. in an attack made on Kofciufko s en
trenched camp.
We shall befincerely happy to communicate
to the publick the pleafmg intelligence of the
complete difcomfiture of the at tempts of the
Ruffians and Prussians ugainfl the liberties of
Poland.
By the last intelligence from America,
itfhould seem that the patience of the people
oj that country is nearly exhaufled. It is
there no longer a matter of doubt by whom
the Indians are excitcd to those aßs of depre
dation and murder which are daily 10m
mitted upon the frontiers.
!Ve can hardly bring ourselves to believe
that such has been tbe diabolical policy of
our government ; but if conduit foattroci
ous has been pursued by mini/lers or by those
wboati under them, and a war with
America be the consequence, we do not hefi
tote to pronounce that such men should be

" The only common enterprize in which

Last evening the President of the Unit
ed States arrived here from Fort Cumber
land ; 15 guns were fired on his arrival,
and except this no other ceremony was ob
terved. He was escorted by 4 dragoons
only.
On Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, a
party of 30 horse, under Capt. Singer,left
our camp, and after riding about 40 miles,
at day light took Herman Huibands, and
one Wilson, both of whom had been ac
tive in the late Opposition to the laws ; the
party returned about 10 o'clock last night,
with their prisoners, and are entitled to
great credit for the expedition and secre
cy with which they performed their mis
sion ; the detachment was taken from the
three city troops.
" This morning Gen. Bloomfield ar
rived here with a detachment of Jersey
troops—and I believe the amount of
the forces now encamped near Bedford
is about 6,000-
" It is fuppoled some of the troops
that firft arrived here will be ordered oin
in a day or two, perhaps to morrow."

Notwithstanding the late execution
in France of a number of " Conspira
tors," fomc of whom have for a long
time pail had the principal management
of all the proceedings of the Republic,
the people in general have remained
quiet ; and indeed at all timet, of late,
acqulefce in the measures of whatever
party gains the ascendancy in the Con
vention.—When BrifTot and his co-tem
poraries were io power, the BrifTotine*
were the Patriots of France—The fac
tion of Danton and his aflociates sup
planted Briffot, and in their triumph
conduced him and his adherents to the
guillotine—Those who fled from the
power of the then prevailing party,
were denounced, out-lawed., and hunted
as Wolves throughout France—Robef
pierrc at length separated from and op
posed Danton, and the head of the lat
ter was fevered from his body by the
axe of the executioner ; those who had
joined in his plans, and did not con
form their creed to the new turn of
affairs, also dyed the fcaffold with their
blood—Tallien, his friends, and the fe
ceders from the party of Robespierre,
have at length crushed the latter, whose
reign has been longer than that of his
predeceflors—but the insatiate guillo
tine has claimed him at last as its vic
tim, and with him, many of his parti
zans have fell—How long the present
party wil hold the reins, it mud be left
to time to determine—Many were the
Patriots, not here mentioned, previous
to Briflot—and it is probable many
more will succeed Tallien, before France
has the felicity to establish a govern
ment, favorable to order, liberty and
peace—that such, however, may be the
final result, must be the wilh of every
true American.

Gentlemen and Fellow-Citizens of the

I think it my duty, as well as for
the interifl of my countrymen, to give
you this short transcript <of the conduifl
of the meiphajilp, cuftom-houfc officers
and other inhabitants of tin. UTairo" or
Tobago. I hereby advise all merchants
and masters of vessels belonging to the
United States, to be very careful in en
tering their vefTels, for the merchants
you deal with, and the custom-house
officers, will advise you to make short
entries on purpose to seize your veflel9 ;
and further,
I would ad.vise you to take particu
lar care of Thomas Ruddack & Co. for
by their means I was feirfd in that I
sland on the sth of September last, and
' was not allowed to take one change of
cloaths with me, although my vefTcl and
cargo was worth four tnoufand pounds,
lawful money. The occasion of my
seizure was this—l entered eight pipes
of Madeira wine for sale, and the cus
tom-house officers, themselves, put it
down for exportation ; after my seizure
I made application for my register to
the custom-house officers, but they
would not let me have it.
My register was for the (loop Betsey,
of Boston, burthen eighty-nine tons, be
longing to James Tifdale, Esq. of Bos

on Coffin, matter of the sloop Catha
