We have received a New York paper of this morning, containing the trial of Had field ; —part of it will be found in this days paper. This morning a fire broke out in the lugar-doule ot A'Jr. Edward Peningtoit, in R ice street—and did conliderable damage before it was extinguilTied. The Editor of the New-York Daily Ad ycrtifer, promises a translation from a Paris paper of an mterefting detail of the trial of the fti'p Pigou, containing a lengthy speech of the CoininiCT.ii'y General, together with a late maritime law of great consequence to merchants and underwriters, which has never been publiflied in America. Tha following Marine article we copy from an Ealter paper : Wind at S. W. Butter cheap and market plentifully supplied with provilions ! !

The several parts of the car?o claimed by Mi-flYs. Will'on Hunt, Wilcocks Sc Co. Henry & Hoggs, and ( Davy, were con demned upon nearly fimiiar grounds, In the cafe ot Wilson Hunt it appears by his letter to hii c«rrefpoiideut in Amsterdam, that a Mr. Saikeld, one of the house of MrfTr? Barclay & Co. of London, had pre viously flii}»)sed pr< perty to Amflerdam on accovuit of thathoufr ; and with regard to the property on board the Muhlent-ls, the letter of Wlr.

In the cafe of Henry Sc Boggs, the pro perty was -fhipt to their order, hut the Bill ot Lading -being endorsed, to Meflts. George BnfcUy & Co. ot London, and the Judge conceiving Mr. Henry to be a Brit (h sub ject, that part of the Cargo was stlfo con- i demned upon the ground of its going to an I enemy's port. * In the cafe of Davy, the Judge con sidered him to be a Britilh fubjeft, ?.n:t as the proceeds of the property was palling through Amlterdam to his brother in Lon don, a condemnation was slfo r.djudged on t;~- ground of its being a trader between a Bntifh fubjeft and the enemy. 1 he claim of Mr. Bohien was ;.lfo rejefl td, though upon grounds different from the former 1 he Judge aflerttd him to * Dutchman, and the property being di vided into three separate conlignments, de liverable to persons who were to be advised at a Julureperiod how to dispose of the pro ceeds. Ihe court condemned the property as belonging to the enemy—ln this decision hefaid he was alf> jultified, by a letter from a Dutchman in Phila. to oneof tbircoiifignees, aTioufe'i 11 AniQerdam, containing direftions to ship property on his account and risk, to Mr. Bohien instead of himfelf, to mike it appear B hleu's property, as he had not re lided a fufficient time in America to become a citizen. The refpeflive, property of Messrs. Taraf con and I h inn was condemned on the giound of iheir beiiig French' en, notwith standing all that was urged upon the ground ot their citizenfltip and long reticence in the United States. 1 he (liip w is condemned upon the ground of her having been curchafed in an enemy's port, and no bill of sale or regular convey ance irom the Frenchman that purchufed her at Guadaloupe. It is unnecell\ry to make any remarks oh the acquitted part of the cargo. 1 For tie Gazette of tbe United States. 1 HE KING and his BEARD. A certain King was once cut by hia B ir ber in /having. He was very angry and forthwith swore that if any B.rber should thereafter draw his blood, he should instant ly forfeit his e d. Nothing could be more unfortunate ; for who would shave even a kin? 011 such terms ? Butrtbe king's beard grew notwiihllanding his oath ; he thought it grew fad r than before. Whether this was owing to the encrcafed heat and effer vescence of his fy lem, or was a mere con ceit of his imagination, I leave for more learned philofopbers to dil'cufs at their lei lure. But the fail was, his beard grew on, and nobody was found bold enough to shave it. N either could the king 011 any account recede from his o.th. The wife men of the nation were called together ; the important cafe wa- submitted to them, and great wealth and honours were promised to bim who should relieve the king. The fitting of the wife men continued a lorg time. '• he discusS in wai very learned and very profr.und on the obligation of oathi ; their different kinds means rf dispensation, &c, &c and the debate was animated by the ! promised reward. But dill tbe beard en crcafed with a flow and Heady growth, and ; regarded not the counsels of the wife men. 1 At length the following report was agreed 011 aid formally mide to the king by the venerable Prefideot of the assembly—-' that after difenffi ig he fubjedt committed to them in ev ry poflible mode ; after feareh ing the libraries of the learned andexhawft ing the ormt of logic, it was folemply con cluded tiiat hismajefty had ma e a veryrafh and unfortunate oath, but no remedy for it could be difcovercd." Alas ! said the king, is this all that human wisdom can do, to in form us of the ills we already feel, and con fifs its inability to. lessen or remove them. '1 lie assembly of wife men was dissolved, and thty all went home without the-p'omifed reward; but each was conscious he had made a very confpicuuus and honourable figure in the debate This was a great con solation to them ; but none to the king. I he king's wife who was greatly mortified at the growing deformity of the beard, pro pol d that since the wife men had failed, an assembly of foo : s should be called, to try what they could do. The reward Wiis doubled, for, although fools were as plenty i i his majesty 3 dominions as elsewhere, it required a strong temptation to indure them to own themselves. / After ali the assembly Wiis but thinly attended, and it was general ly thought that those who did attend were not the greatest fools—the greater the fool the more u likely is he to discover and ac knowledge it ; the discussion was fliort, and the result the lame with that of rfie wife tVien. Alas ! cried the king, is there so little difference bet we n a man and a/00l ! The one talks a great deal and reasons pro foundly, but does nothing, the other does as much and fayi nothing about it. The Beard by att nding on all these discussions las become almost intolerable. I will leave the matter to my wife, said the king in a fret ; she is midway between the wife men and the fools. I-'he advised him toJhave him- Jef. God bless me ! I thought the king could not shave himfelf ; —pray who told you so ; I have said no such thirg. -j We fometiraes plague ourselves for deep and learned modes of attaining an objedt, when fimplcones are at hand. i TRISTRAM.

Ct TIZENSREPR'S NTATITES, YOU cannot be ignorant of the friend fhip my *arher and my elf have ever enter tained for the French. I fought f»ery op portunity of proving it during yours rtrier Government and I have dons all in my pow er finee the commencement of your revolution to make tno-wn to you the fentimen s of my heart. From want us opportunity an I of inter-. ; course with persons acquainted wi.h your j cnltoms and manners, 1 have not been able ■ before this lime to inform you of my inten j c ons. A fortunat' chance hrs sent me ci j tizen Ripaud (one of the officers) who at myrequeft, has answered all the qutftiong which I put to him. I ronfider him to be ; worthy of my confidence, and from w'.at 1 lie has told me, I perceive it it now the mo ment for me 10 revive the friendship tuhith I have a ways entertained for vour natiou, I ac knowledge the foblim ty of your cbnftituti on, and as a proof of my sincerity, Ipro pofe to your mtion and to you a treaty of alii a ■ce andfraternity, which shall be for eiter in • di/Jt/ablc and fha Ibe so nried on repub lean principles, offincerity and of good faith ; uld declare war against your enemies, I will not be deserted, nor (hall you have the power of makmg peace without my previ ous content, nor without includmg myffclf and my people in the treaty. For the se curity of our reciprocal friendfhip and good faith, it is necefiery to stipulate one pre limina-y condition. It is this, as my peo ple are ignorant of the customs of the French Republicans, and as the Republi cans are equally unacquainted with the cus toms of my country, if one of the-citizens of either party should violate the customs of the other, he shall be reprimanded immedi ately by his own superior, without any in terruption of the good understanding and harmony, which ought to subsist between good allies. I insert t! is clause. although Citizen Ripaud has allured me, that the obfervanee of the mod severe discipline and of refptft for the laws exists in the Repub lican army : Mine shall always be conduct ed in the fame manner. I require also that | the commanding officer (hall always confu't me on every measure which he may under take for the deftru&ion of our commoti en »ny, because I am acquainted with the coun try its customs and manners. This is a reservation that he cannot confidcr as offen fi"e. Happy moment ! tbe time is a/me when I can dspr.ftl in the bosom of rr.y friends, the hatred -which I bear againjl these opp effors of the human race.
