ExtraS of a Letter from Majfachnfetti,
November 5.
y. "1 mod heartily congratnlate you
on the ele&ion of yeflerday; the par
ticulars you v/ill fee in the papers : I
have not heard f iom all the towns, but
1 am well assured Mefl". Ames and Dex
ter are both re-elected. A more com
plete triumph of Truth over Falsehood,
never was seen. I never took so much
upon myfelf in ele&ions before, but the
cause was serious and very important :
for the Club writers in the Lying Chro
nicle had circulated so many falsehoods,
for such a length of time, and so many
persons in the country towns read no
other paper, it became necelfary for
the lovers of truth and friends to our
country to exertalltheirinfluence. The
writings of Manlius, were read in all
the towns by men of sense and influence
and the fa6ts and sentiments contained
t'.crein were told to the people ; before
the votes were given in some towns, a
public difcuflion of characters took
place, and the wisdom and patriotism
■* of our good reprefehtatives weredifplay
ed ; the defigijs of the clubs were held
up to view : the highly important fer
vicesof our beloved and dignified Pre
sident, were turned to the view of all
the people ; and the vile condudl of
those abandoned men who have polluted
some newspapers with calumnies against
him, were exposed to the contempt and
detestation of the people. In fliort it
was a day of political light, and the
shadows of ignorance, and the mifchief
of designing men, fled before it. I
fondly hope the fame happy «onfequen
ces may attend the elections thiough
the Union, and the enemies to the peace
of our country be compelled to cease
from iniquity. By such difcuflions the
people learn the truth, and are led to a
jr.ft estimation of our happy govern
ment. Hereby the people fee the
danger and iniquity of Jacobin Clubs,
and learn that public towß meetings,
where all the people are afTembled, are
the Aire means of prefeiving liberty and
fnpporting our tiee government.
These triumphs of truth and reason,
will encourage our good President and
the patriots in Congress, to persevere
iu their arduous duty, and tend great.
!y to perpetuate peafce, liberty, and
fafiety, to tis and our children—forages
,:o come the exam _>Ie may be a guiding

NATIONAL CONVENTION,
_ Aug. 14.
Philadelphia, June 20tb, 1794.
The undersigned, Secretary of State for
the United States of America, has the ho
nor ot representing to the Committee of
Public Safety for the French Republic,
that on the 15th of April in the present
year, it was unanirnouily resolved by ! the
lioufe of Representatives, as follows:—
" That the letter or the Committee of
" Public Safety of the French Republic,
" addrefled to Congress, be tranfrriftted
" to the President of the United States,
'■ and that he be requelted to cause the
fame to be answered, on behalf of this
" I Joufe, in terms expressive of their fen
" fibility for the friendly and aiTnlHouate
" manner, in which they have addrefled
" the Congress of the United States,
" with an unequivocal aflurance,'that the
" Representatives of People of the U
" nited States have much interest in the
" happinefi and profceri'.y of the French
" Republic."
The President of the United States has
consigned this honorable "and grateful
funflion to the Department of State. In
no manner can it be more properly dis
charged than byleizing the occasion of de
claring to the ally of the United States that
the cause oflibery, in the' defence of which
so much American Ijlood and treafufe has
been lavished, is cheriflied by our Repub
lic with cncreafing enthuniim; that under
the standard of liberty, wheresoever it shall
be displayed, the affection ef the United
States will always rally ; and that the fuc
cefles of those who stand forth, as her
avengers, will be gloried in bv the United
States, and will be felt as the fuccefles of
themselves, and the other friends of hu
manity.
Yes, Representatives of our ally ; your
communication has been addrefled to those
who ihare in your fortunes, and who
take a deep interest in the happiness and
prosperity of the French Republic.
Edmond Randolph,
Secretary of State.
Philadelphia June 10, 1794.
The undersigned, Secertary of State for
the United States of America, has the ho
nor of rommunicati ig to the committee of
public'fafety for the French Republic, that
on the 24th day of April 1794, it was Or
dered by the Senate of the United States
that the letter of that co.mnittee, addrefled
to Congress, be traniinitu-d to the Presi
dent and that he be requeued to cause the
fame to be answered on behalf of. the Se
nate in such manner, as shall manii'efl their
sincere friend (hip and good will for the
French Republic.
In executing this duty, which has beert
allotted by the President tt> the department
of liate, the liberal fuct ours which the
United States received from the French
Nation in their ftrugg't for independence,
present themselves warm to the recollec
tion. On this balls was the friendfhip be
tween the two.nations founded ; on this ba
fit, and the continued interchanges of re
gard since, has it grown, and supported by
these motives, it will remain firm and con
liant.
The Senate therefore tender to the com
mittee of public fafety their zealous wishes
for the French Republic ; they learn with
sensibility every success, which promotes
the happiness of the French nation ; and
the full eftablifliment of their peace and
liberty will be ever eftcemed by the Senate
as a happiness to the United States and-to
humanity.

BALTIMORE, Novenber 14.
A gentleman of tills town, of consi
derable political information, was so
kind as to extract for us the following
paragraph from a letter which he lias
nieived from Boideaux, dated Septem
ber 19th.
" An at tempt has been made ta af
fafiinate the famous Taliien. He re
ceived three wounds—none of which
are mortal. He is iu a fair way of re-
covery.
Barrere was also struck by the arm
of an aflaflln. 1 His wound is but flight."
On Tuesday lad. arrived hertj from
one of the small ports in Hifpaniola,
the schooner Betsey, formerly command
ed by Capt. R ay ; who, with the mate
and one man, died on the paflage, leav
ing two men artd a boy to navigats the
veflel. A gale of wind having rendered
her very leaky, for the prefer vat ion of
their lives they were reduced to the ne
ceflily of heaving a part of the cargo
overboard, confiding of 40 bags of cof
fee. Some time after, in an almolt
exhausted condition, spoke the brig Sal
ly, Capt. Cochran, bound to Philadel
phia, with a number of sailors, taken
from different wrecks ; but could ob
tain 110 assistance until, they met with a
(loop bound from AuX Cayes to New-
York ; the Captain of which furnrfhed
them with an additional hand. This
enabled them to bring the velTel sale on
foundings, from whence they were con

NEWBERN, Nov. i.
On Saturday last ; at 9 o'clock in the
evening, a fire broke out at Mrs. A
dams, in Craven street. A quantity of
oakum which had been lodged in the
kitchen loft, had been accidentally put
on fire, by an old negro man. The
kitchen, dwelling house and adjacent
Itore were almost instantly in a blaze,
and before the people could be alarmed
and come to the place ot conflagration,
Mr. Thomlinfon's house and out build
ings on the left, and Mr. Taylor's store
and ware house, and a shoemaker's (hop
on the right, were fofar in flames, that
no pofiible exertion could have saved
them. The next house in the fame di
rection, was timely blown up, to pre
vent, with the assistance of one of the
engines and the a&ivity of the inhabit
ants, the conflagration from extending
any further that way. The house oc
cupied by Mr. James Davis, was burn
ing in a number of places : the site was
however extinguished there. On the
other fide of the street, Mr. Pinckley's
store and the adjoining one, were kept
with the utmost difficulty so wet that the
fire on its roof, and fides was subdued.
