By an F.nglifh gentleman, passenger in the Ihip lately arrived at Marblehead from Eug -1 we learn that the Dutch Eall India fleet had not arrived in England as has been reported, and that great fears were enter-, taiaed that thcv would fall into the hands of the Grand French fleet, which he fays had been dismasted in a gale of wind, and oblig ed to go into port—but had returned, and had the command of the English channel pre vious to his departure. That petitions were coming in from all quarters for a peace with France S but that the mir.iftry were determin ed toprofecute the war with vigour, and to rely entirely on their navy. Yefterdaythe Patriot-; at Liberty Square displayed the Federal Flag on the Liberty Pole ?.nd fired a salute in commemoration of the Revolution in Holland. An event so impor tan must be pleafmg to every American. Our allies, the people of Holland have now an opportunity of eftablilhing a government of their own ; and it must be the wish ox every hon<eft mm, that freedom and peace, liberty and good government might pervade not on ly the United Netherlands but all the nations of the earth. x The Pr/;fident of the United States was gratefully rem-mbered, under a discharge of :annon, and every one hailed him as the friend of Columbia. Holland captured Ly the Dutch. The intelligence of the capture of Holland by the Dutch patriots, with the brave and generous afliitance of their friends the French Republicans, mufl be pleasing to every real patriot. Mortifying has been the situation of the people of Holland for many years. A brave, industrious and wealthy people held in fetters by the influence of aStadthold r.— Not years since the Dutch Patriots made a bold attempt to fliake off the Stadthoideri an yoke, and were promised afliftance from the Court of France. They were disappoin ted however, and this was the reason given by that Court, " That the fin nces of the kingdom, would not admit of their interfer ing at that The Stadtholder called for foreign afliftance, and a pretended insult to his wife, brought the Duke of Brunfwick, at the head of a large body of Prufiians, to establish the influence of the Orange party, which he efFe&ed. Tlius were the Dutch re duced to humble fubmiflion, and the leading patriots were .obliged to fiee—-among them was Van Dogen, who commanded the Con corde frigate, but who loft his life on board one of the largest (hips in the French fleet, which he commanded iji the aifcion with Earl Howe. How gratifying would it have been to this brave mail, had he lived to enjoy this day—a which his countrymen have declared thcmfelves FREE, and are about tak ing a refpe&able rank among the nations.— May our allies, the people of Holland be blest with as good a government as ours; & peace throughout the world, be very soon the— " Order of -the Day." it ti Mr. Cleveland Mr. Wignell Mr. Chalmers Sir.

Mirick to go with them on board said {loop of war, where thev detained him about two hours, a,nd then brought him back in their own boat ; that the officer that letuined with capt.

By the brig Rover, Capt.

The (loop also informed, that 5 fail of the line were (hortly to come out to that island. - • Captain Bent, of the bri£ A B C, from Guernsey, informs, that a French fleet of 21 far! of the'line were cruiz ing off the Lizard. The following was handed us by a ref peftable gentleman of this town. On Monday arrived here the (hip Hazen, Captain Howland, dismasted, from Bolion. Capt. Howland reports, that on the 24th of March, being then near Cape Henry, with a scant wind, he fell in with the Lynx Britifli flo(?p of war, and was boarded by a boat's crew and two officers, who pretended to be Frenchmen, and unacquainted with the English language. They de tained the Hazen a considerable time, until Capt. Howland remunllrated a gainst their proceedings; observing that his ship was disabled, that she was dropping fact to leeward, that they could have no poflible business with her, and that ht wished to be at liberty to proced, in order, if poflible, to weather the Cape. They however detained him upwards of an hour, during which time these pretended Frenchmen be came petfeft mailers of the Englilh language. Captain H. again remon strated against their rudeness and inso lence, when they threatened to fend him on board the Lynx, and there chastise bim. They endeavoured to get pcfleffion of the (hip's regifler,. which Captain H. would not part with out of his hands; they then demanded his clearance which they carried off, ! and never returned. Previous to their 1 departure they compelled Captain H.'s fecotid mate and one of his men to go on board the Lynx (declaring tl.em Englishmen, tho' Capt. H. had regular protedions for them as Americans.) After some detention the two men were returned. arrived. Ship Hazen, Howland, Brig Hasard, Williams, SALEM, March 31. SHIP NEWS.

A NUMBER of the inhabitants of Es sex county residing at Vauxhall and the vtcinity thereof having formed themfelres into a political society, at a time when in stitutions of a political nature are repro bated by some, and their propriety and utility questioned by others, think it their duty to make known the motives and principles of their aflociation. The members of this society looking back into the history of all free civilized nations that Hive gone before them, have become acquainted with this melancholy and deplorable truth, that (a few of the Swiss Cantons excepted) their liberties have, in various ways, been fwajlow; d up in the tremendous gulph of despotism — those who have been able to escape the fe rocious talons of rayal rapacity, have be come the silent victims of the cunning, fraud, and unrelenting avarice of thirr re publican rul rs. The history of usurpa tions discovers the inlets to despotism to be ! so numerous and, at the fame time, so va- j riant, and the disposition of men in power 1 so prone to enter them, that it requires I theutmoft caption anij circumfpe&ion of' an enlightened peeple to watch and de- 1 fend the barriers which have been ere (fled 1 against its approach. In contemplating a remedy to the evils before Rated, the members of this society ! could devise none that appeared tQ them j more salutary, than that of acquiring and j difieminating political knowledge ; to ef- j feft which deferable end, they could think : no miafure more likely to accomplish it I than that of ereiling inftinttions peculiarly I devotedtopolitical inliruilion. Theyfpurn thebafeand humiliating idea, that free- i men have jio right to think, And freely to | communicate their thoughts. With refpeft to the governments that the people of America have been pleaftd to make, they believe them to be as well calculated to promote the hrappinefs,And secure the liberties of the people, as could reasonably be expeiSed from the circum stances under which they were formed.— They look upon the plan of committing to the Federal Government the objedls of ge neral concern, and reserving to the State Governments as the impartial distributors of jufhee, the protestors and encouragers of domcftic industry, and the repofitaries of civil liberty : to those wife and well constituted governments they have cheer fully confided their all but their liberties, under a full confidence that, w T hen errors are discovered, they will be corre<slc<f, and improvements tending to the general gocd, when neceflary will be adopted.— But they couldnot aicribe tohuman contri vance infinite attributes: the government being made by men may bcimperfedl, and being admin iftered by men fubjeft to the weaknesses and infirmities of hdman na ture, they may do wrong. The adminis trators of government at all times stand in •need of the advice, and may deserve the frowns of their conftiruents; and being the mere agents of the people, have no right to repress thj principle of enquiring into the'r condinflt. | Under the foregoing impreflions, the | members of the society intend peaceablv ; to follow the objed in puriuit of which they have set out; and although they would not willingly give offence to any man, yet they tiuft that the conscious rec titude of their own intentions will buoy them up above the fear of denunciations, from whatever quarter they may be fulmi nated ; and that the good sense of a very large majority of their fellow citizens will juftjfy them in the exercifeof a right which is r cognized by the ccnftitution, in separably connected with the principles of the government, and approved of by a liberal and enlightened philosophy ; the deftru&ion of which would be prostrating the liberties of the people at the feet of the public .agents, and setting at defiance the admonitions of experience. The doors of the society are at all times epen to fpeflators, and such citi zens as thoofe to attend and take part in the discussion of the fubjefls before the society, are requested to do it.

The day before yesterday, notwithftan dmg the malt boiflrous weather & pierc ing cold, all our batteries began to thun der at once on the towil, the fort the road of Rofca and the Spanish fleet- The j houfeof the Spanish "commander was beat 1 down, and the flames rose immediately ' out sos the magazines.

Tho' ihrfe fwirnming citadels endeavour to krsp out of cannon reach, we hope that the conti nuing fiorms will deliver them to the avenging arm of the Republic. So many gun boats have already been burnt, that the remaining take all possible care not ip disturb us any longer in the pushing of the siege. The besieging army, commanded by Gen. Sauret, is 17,000 men itrong. The General in chief of 'the army of the Ealt ern Pyrenees pushed forward into Catalo nia, and leaves the Spanish land forces no hope of relieving Roses or protecting Bar celona. JANUARY I. Our warriors continue to gather new lauerls, the fruits of the inoft arduous un dertaking before Roses. Fortfßouti n ta ken at the point of the bayonet, three bat. teries raised on the top of a huge rock, which has been rendered acceiuble by means of a new road of 9 miles, forced thro' rocks and |pi ecipiees, have been the prelude of our triumph! The representa tives of the people, and the general in chief wereprefent when these three bat teries began to play upon the town ; the republican tunes of the soldiers of liber ty, with the thunder of the artillery, ear ned terror and definition among the tlaves. The batteries in the plain anl wered immediately this signal, and over whelmed the n ad and citadel with ffiowers of bombs and red-hot balls. This terrible fire did not cease a single moment during the latter five davs. [ General Viilor received orders on fh* ] 30th December to attack a very strong fort j which commards the town bttwe. n the citadel and fort Bouton. The republicans appeared, took the fort, drove the Spa ni(h out of the town of Roses, and pursu ed them to the very glacis of (he citadel. The Spanish tried on the 31ft De.. .Ler before day brtak to dislodge the en companies 01" the lit brigade who occupy the town of Roses ; but they were repuls ed with great slaughter. The reprefentativej"of the people and general JLauret patted the whole nigV< ; : the trenches. The Spanifli flag in the citadel was yei terday carried off by a hail, and the day before yeiterday a red hot bail burnt the broad pendant of the Spanish Admiral. TOULON, January 7.
