" The treaty has been very unlucky in not having reached you before the fevent-h of Marcfl. Pour different copies of it Were sent out by Mr. Jay and Eerd Gren-' | ville, three of which went by different velTcls. " The piilure you draw of the happy ftateofpu lie affairs ill your ccui'>ry is truly interfiling and grateful. Wnat a contrail to the different, ftatcs in Euiope I YVhilft you are at peace, they are involv ed in all the horrors of war; whillt yon have plenty, and your poor (it they can be called so j have bread and work, here the lowelt ciafs of the people are literally starving. All thro' the. country bread is icarce and dear. .The poor are every where rising, in defiance of the Jaw and the mili tary, to reduce the price of provifious, and to raii'e the price of labor. Property is arming against numbers; but in vain, for on some late occasions the soldiers united with the populace to compel the farmers and millers to part with their grain and Hour at reduced price?. If the war should continue longer than the present campaign, it does not require the spirit of prophecy to tell in whatthefe commotions will end: though whether peace or war, the event mult be dit'altrous to the present govera rnent of this country. 1 heir prolpe>sls at this time mult be particularly gloomy. The French have concluded a treaty with Prussia, and yeftcrdky it was publilhed; but a ferret article had not yet appeared, which (as 1 this day had it froln a French Captain, who received it from his corre spondent at lialle) expressly llipuiates that the French will guarantee Hanover to Prussia, in the subjugation of which they are to be assisted by u,ooo Prussian horle. " Private letters from Basle likewise slate, that the treaty with the Emperor is corifiderably advanced, and it is every day looked for at Paris. Negotiations are also now carrying on between France and Spain the result of which will be exceedingly un favourable to Great Britain, who, not withllanding all the allies with whom she set out, will be obliged to support the con test alone. She is, and will remain for some time, the mistress of the fca. The French will not probably again contend directly on this element: they will, it is generally thought, attack her in the Eafl and Weft Indies, and thus embarrass her reveaue. Here they probably will be fuc cefsful, from the superiority of their land forces in number and spirit. " I find it is very gratifying to every American in this metropolis, to perceive the good disposition of this country to be in amity with their country. The govern ment, I believe are lincerely disposed to remove every ground of diflatisfaiflion be tween you. They appear, as far as I can learn, to facilitate by every means in their power the settlement of the business, ' on which an American age.jt is now in this city ; and although delays which ' they cannot prevent must unavoidably take place yet I th ink you will have no reason to complain of the final adjustment ' of the_bulinefs. u They are not much pleased with the general and encreafing I'pirit of emigration to America, which pervades this country; and I believe that they would prevent it as much as they could, comiftent with law. An order of Council has, it seems, lately beeii issued, inhibiting the custom house j officers from fuffering an American vessel to clear out for the United States, until the ' caotain of the fame (hall have made oath, that he neither has, nor intends taking on board any British fiibjecfls as passengers for ! America. An intelligent gentleman of this city mentioned to me a few days ago, that this order was thought to be in confe- ! quence of a plan of about 2000 manufac- i turers from Birmingham to emigrate to i the United states, and there to commenfe business.

' 1 H'l3 Excellency at the fame time, tranf- 1 aisled certain official bulinefs at court, which was said without rel'erve at the time, by ( the gentlemen of the suite, to be as sol- : lows: i The Emperor of China refufed in the 1 fi.-ll inllance to lign, ami of couife, to en- 1 ter into any engagement by a written trea ty with the crown of Great Britain, or any other nation; as fueh a contract, o« his 1 part, would be contrary to the ancient I ' ufagc, and, indeed, an infringement of the I I cient rouflitutions of the empire. At the 1 fame time he was pleased to fignify his 1 i high refpeA for his Britannic Majefly and j the British nation ; and that he felt a strong ; disposition to grant them greater indulges- 1 i cier than any other European power trad- ) ing to his domidions ; nor was he uriwill- 1 ing to make such a nqw arrangement of I the duties payable by. British lhips arrivirig f at Canton, as appeared to be a leading f °hje 9of the oegociation. At the fame t time, "• ov. t v'houuvtie ever attentive to the i ea. ot ii«s ow« fubjeifts, n an atom of which he would never fecri 1S flee ; and (huuid therefore, withdraw his favours to apy foreign nation, whenever n it might appear >o be incompatible with h the interelts ii; on, . chat the En it glifh, by tilt . ir rade, forfeit ther prt: ' ad • ttagen which lt might be gnu <•.' tlpem preference to other «:>• it.

Sps tainbij the miniature g pictures .i.eceding Emperors ; _ to whic' is .r - 1 ascription «u verse j by each ifciiptive of himfelfj s and the ;rr ipn oitures of his govern r ment, as well - ii ■of eondudt reconi [ mended to their fev; c.il successors. 5 The Empt-L, jn pielenting this gift to •j the AmbalTador, spoke to the following j purpott: " Deliver this casket to the King, your y mailer, with your own hand, and tell htm, though the present may appear to be t small, it is, in my estimation, the moil va . luable that I can give, or my empire can t furnilh ; for it has been transmitted to me through a long line of my predeceflors, asid is the last token of affection which I had reserved to bequeath to my son and fucceflbr ; as a tablet of the virtues of his ancestors, which he had only to perufc, , as I ihould hope, to inl'pire him with the noble relblution to follow such bright ex amples ; and, as they have done, to make it the grand object of his life to exalt the honor of the Imperial throne, and ad vance the happineii and prosperity of his piople." Such were the words delivered'by the Eraperor on the occasion, as communicat ed by Mr. Plumb, the interpreter, and which occaftpntd, as may be'imagined, no fmail degree nt speculation among the gentlemen of the retinue. The AmbalTador returned to dinner, and soon after repaired again to the Imperial palace, with his whole suite and attend ants, to fee a play which was expressly performed as a particular mark of refpedt to the embassy. This dramatic entertainment was repre sented in one of the inner courts of the pa lace, on a temporary stage erected for the purpose. It wis decorated with a profu lion of silks ribbons, and streamers, and illuminated with great splendor and ele gance. The performances confifled of. a great variety of mock battles and military en gagements ; lofty tumbling, as it is ex pressed with us, and dancing both on the tight and flack ropes; and in all these ex ercises that agility was difplaycd, which would have done no discredit to the gym niftic amusements of Sadler's Wells or Aftley's amphitheatre: but the skill of the performers was more particularly astonish ing in the art of balancing, in-which they excelled any thing of the kind I had ever seen. By an imperceptible motion, as it appeared, of the joints of their arms and legs, they gave to basons, jugs, glaffes„&c. an apparent power of loco-motion, and produced a progreflive equilibrium, by which these vessels changed their positions from one part to another of the bodies of the balances, in a manner so extraordina. ry, that I almost fufpeited the corredneW of my own senses. Hie I'uccefTiou of entertainments was concluded by a variety of curious decep tions by (light of hand, which the almolt magical aitivity of Breflaw or Comus hat never exceeded: and, as a proof of my assertion, I shall mention one of them, which, I mult own, astonished fine, and seemed to have an equal effedl on the reft of the fpeitators. The performer began by exhibiting a large bason in every possible polition, when he suddenly placed it on the llage with the hollow part downwards, and instantly ta king it up again, difcoveretl a. lay rah. bit, which etfcaped from the performer, who attempted to catch it, by taking re fuge among the fpedlators. This decep tion was perfectly unaccountable to me, as there were no visible means whatever of communication, by which it was possi ble to convey so large an animal to the spot: the stage was also covered with matting, so that it could not be conveyed through the floor, which, if that had been the cafe, must have been discovered by those, and there were many of them, who were within three yards of the spot; besides, the whole display of the trick oc cupied but a few seconds. Several other deceptions of a similar kind prolonged our amulement. The whole of the entertain ment was accompanied by a band of mu- | ficians, placed on the stage, , The theatre was filled with persons of , diftinition, and formed a very splendid t appearance. The Ambaffidor and his 1 , suite returned about nine o'clock, having j been very much gratified by the entertain- j rrient of the evening. , | f EX TY A C V t A French author, fptaking of defpotifin t has the following ren.ark.iWe paragraph : i " A tyrannical government is known by ; the following traits— when, it permits nei- J I ther the progress of information, nor the 1 | free communication of those ideas which ' j may ierve to enlighten mankind, nor the affemhlies which may unite them ; when it besets them with spies, and dreads the freedom of speech, such a goTrrnment must neceffarrly fink under its own weight, becauie the hatred and contempt it in fpirej, will sooner or later avenge the in sulted majesty of the people, authority will I then return from whence it sprang." •/. e • ABSTRACT of the TREATYs From the Aurora. Mr. Bachk, I have been daily hoping to fee In the public prints a copy of the late treaty with Britain ; but as such a publication has not been made, I transmit endofed the head of that instrument collected from memory after an attentive pcrufal. There neceflarily must be deficiences in an ac count of this kind which depends entirely upon memory, and for the fame rcafon there may be inaccuracies, but I trust the latter are few. A CITIZEN. The preamble states among other mat ters of mere form " that without a re ference to the merits of their refpe&ive complaints and pretensions" the contract ing parties are desirous, &c. '&. Art. I. Provides generally that there Puali be-perpetuil friendfbip, &c. between the eoatiadling parties. Art. i. Provides for the delivery of the Western Posts in June '96. The Uni ted States may in the mean time make set tlements within their boundaries as recog nized by the treaty of peace, except with in the jurifdidlion of those posts. After the evacuation the settlers within that jurifdi<£tion are to make their eleition of remaining British fubjeits or becoming A.- merican citizens. Art. 3. Stipulates the terms of trade and intercourse between Canada and the United States. We may frequent their ports, harbours, &c. on the lakes, but not their sea ports Thev from thence may frequent our Atlantic rrivers not a bove our highest ports of entry in each. We may impose duties on that in tercourse not higher than those duties im posed 011 like merchandize imported into our owuveflels; theymayimpofeduties not higher than those imposed on merchan dize imported into the sea ports of Canada by their own vessels. The two pat ties are also to be at liberty freely to navigate the Miffifippi, and frequent the poi ts of either. _ party on the eaiteni bank as Freely as the Atlantic ports of the United States and the ports of Great Britain. Art. 4. As it is doubtful whether a line drawn due Weft from the Lake ot the Woods according to the treaty of peace will meet the source of the Miffifippi, that river is, jointly, to lie examinc4 and sur veyed, and if the said line cannot be run, the boundary is to be fettled amicably. Art. 5. As the treaty of peace leaves some doubt of the river meant by St. Croix rivtr, the doubt is to be fettled by three commissioners, one appointed by each party, the two chufing a third; but if they cannot agree on a third, then to name each one, and let chance decide which fhallbe the third. Art. 6. Payments of damage, and in terell on Britifti debts cont rafted before the peace which damages have accrued owing to certain legal impediments fram ed by some states : The United States to be liable for the payment of these, but not of such as would at any rate have accrued by the infol /ency of the debtor, or by the f negligence of the claimant. Five coin- i vnillioners appointed in a manner similar to • f the above are to fix the sums due upon principles of equity. E'ghteen months is f fixed as the term for receiving documents c in those cases, and fix months may be al- v lowed beyond this time in some cases at v the difcrction of the commissioners. No t sums can be ordered to be paid before the c expiration of twelve mouths after the ra- f tHications of the treaty are exchanged.— These Commissioners meet inPhiladel- v phia. 1: Art. 7. In such cases as, from what- c ever circumftanees indemnification cannot t be obtained for captures by the Britilh, by \ the common courl'e of jtiftice. Five coin- t miffioncrs appointed as above are to fix the f fame, and the British government becomes e answerable for the payment. These com- t miffioners meet in London. By this arti cle the United States are to refund the e value of English prizes taken in our wa- a ter4, or by privateers fitted out in our t ports. Art. 8. Relates to the salaries and expen o ees|of j thsirfiiliiiic* 1: are to be fixed when the ratifications are 11 exchanged, and the expense are left to t themselves to determine. Art. 9. The ftffijedts and citizens of the it conracfting parties lhall hold real estate in b each other's territory with the fame ad- a vantages as the citizens and fubjedts of the d refpedtive states. Art. 10. It lhall not be lawful for one ti party to sequestrate or confiscate the pro- f< perty in debts, funds, or banks of the f< other partv in cafe of war. f< Art. rx. Provides generally for a free a and reciprocal trade between the two par- f< ties, under the conditions contained in the e; articles that follow. & Art. ii. We may carry our produce to the British Weft-Indies in vessels not ex- tl ceeding 70 tons, and bring thence here fe the produce of those colonies on the fame 01 terms as the British can do ; but We are not to export from the United States mo- p, laffe3, sugar, cocoa, coffee, or cotton, to 01 any part of the world. The British can- p not be put in a different situation than they q now are, as to their intercourse between w their colonies and our continent. This article was to last during the present war h and for two yeari after, before the expi- t, ration of which term negociations were to p be entered into for a lurther agreement ti on the fubjedl of this trade; when the n question of neutral bottoms making neu- b ttal goods, was to be considered, and it v was to be fettled what articles Ihould be o considered as contraband in time, of war. a Till then, the contents of some of the ar- ti tides following, are referred to as a tem- b porary fettlemer.t on thole heads. t l To the above article there was, it seems, much opposition in Senate; and they final- ti live I .f ly rgj-ect* :r> recommend to the to i .ltiFv the treaty, on condition th* ;h| 1 l»th Art. fhoald be fufpeiidcd ; and , ■' recommended that he (hould enter u , ° J e further negociations. on the fubjeO-of* 1 y modification of this article. i Art. 13. We are to be permitted to e trade with the British i'ettlemeni. in the 1 East-Indies in such articles as lhail nat b» c entirely prohibited, paying the fame d u f - ties on exportation and importation as the r Britiiii. |n time ef war we cannot export i thence, warlike or naval flares or rice ; without, pcrmifiion. v*V ecau carry nothing that we export then e tD l] f ■country but the Jnited States, where th - ■ articles must be duiy and &itl:fuiiy la ril -| C (j ■ We cannot parulce of the India 'carrvin ) ■ trade.
