ELIZA3E Tli-TOWN, June »4-
Extrafl of a letter from a gentleman in
London to his eorrelpoiideat in this
town, dated April 18.
" 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

OF / 1
Earl Macartney's EmbqJJy to China. 1
TIHS morning the Ambassador went so '
the Imperial palace, but not in the former 1
flyle of parade, to have his audience of <
leave, as the period of our flay in Tartary '
was verging to a period. ' 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

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

" A tyrannical government is known by ;
the following traits— when, it permits nei- J

| 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

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

■ Art. T». There (hall be a reciprocally
free commerce between the United
: and the British dominions in 12urop,> ; „ u _
1 der the regulation# contained in altera'"
ticks. Merchants lhall be permitted
F build Warehcufes in the iei'pci3ive coun

Art. 15. Neither country lhall lay oa

• dize imported in them higher duties thin
on t(ie like veflels and merchandize be
longing to other foreign countries. ft
ther country lhall lay upon the product
manufactures &c. of the other higher du
ties than on the lite produce, manufac
tures &c. of other countries. Great Bri
tain, however, reserves to herAlf the rigjit
of laying on American bottoms em..--t r
their ports in Europe, a tonnage to: , s
that laid on their veflels here, and uut
on in American bottoms £uf|
ficient to Oontravail the difference bet*c,
the duties laid on European and Aha,,
merchandize imported here in Ameri t: .
and British bottoms. Ihe contradir
part.es will further treat to attain a- , ''

011 British bottoms lhall not be eiittrcaied,
nor the difkrenct 01 duty between im

Art. Relates to conluls. They ma/
be panif)i t ,; in certain' cases or difmSed. *
Any poru in each country may be ex

try from admitting confula.
-".rt. 17. Enemies' property n neutral
bottoms liable to seizure. '1 fie ve€el con
taining such property to <h 3 relealed with
as little detenaon as pollible.
Art. 18. Thefollowing are made con
traband articles ; carrying them to the
enen.ies of .one contract.ng party by the
other renders the vessel so tarrying then
liable to capture : contraband articles, all
military implements, roz.n, pitch, tar,
. timber for ship building, copper in ftetu,
1 fails, hemp, cordage, and in general all
I articles which may be applied directly to
the confti-uction of veflels, except un
wrought iron and fir planki.
As it is difficult (fays the article} to de
termine th< cases in which provttions car
ried to an enemy are contraband, to j rtid
difpnte, in these cases, fhoulii such pro-vt
fions be seized, the owners (hull be paid
for them, rrstgllOLcTaiid a rca

As neutral veflels iometimes make fail
