NEW-YORK, November 3.
Yeflep'iay .the ship Minerva, Captain Clarkfon, ar
• rived it tins port from London, which he left the 7th,
and ihe Downs the ijth of September.
[By the Minerva, Clarkfon.J
An American gentleman, who arrived yesterday
> in London in 43 hours from Aniflerdam, reports,
that lie saw 14 fail i.l the line and a number of sri
: ga'e-at anchor in the Texel Roads.
He states also, that the French, to the number
, ;of icb,oco mer., have .irtuallv crofted the Rhine.
1 iiis lujnwur, tlie probability of which is fanrtion
-1 ed by every preceding account in the French and j
Geuiian papers, we have given limply as it reach
td us; It was confidently believed in Amsterdam
on Ibe 31ft tilt. j
Gcvernm<*nt yesterday morning have received '
fume fai tiler difpatchesfrom Quiberon B.'.y. Very •
litne on this furtjert is fdffciei.. to tranipirt, but it
appears that an uninterrupted louefpondence is kept I
up \Vith the Royaiilts South of the Loire, as also 1
with the Chouaus in the interior of Brittany.
Sept. 5.
The report of the Fiench having crolfed the
Rhine, is confirmed b.y private letters from Ham
bi '. They fay, but without mentioning any
date, that the army of the republic has passed that 1 ,
river in fulj force.
The negotiation at Basle, for a peace between
Fiance and the empiie, appears to encounter new j
diih' J ulties, and -to meet with obstacles which ii
threaten to be infurmouutable. On the one hand, I
we arc told, that the llatua quo, and the avacua
tion of the wliolfc coiiqucied territory, are the ;
terms offered to France. Such conditions, we 1
will Ventura to affirm, were never before proposed
to any power, after such a series of virtoriee, and
possessed of such a superiority of military force. 1
The propofcrs of such terms seem to have entire- ,
ly forgotten the relative situation of the belligcient
powers,, and to have supposed that France was re- ,
ceiving indeall of dirtauoor endif ; on's of pe-ce. I
'i'hev are uureaionabie, because rrance is entitlcil j
io .c.ip the fiuit t>x her viclunes ; they ar; unjult, 1
i " V • » :
: because ft; haj a tight to a compeoiation tor her
expence ot h] h\l :;nd treasure ; and they "are con- !
temptibly ridicuii-u, because there is iKtf even an
! apprartnee <>t such a military force as would be
iieceffary to fecund tiicm.aiid io induce the French
government to make such large and unexampled
concessions.
We freely confefs, however, that nothing' can be
more harsh and humiliating for the empire, than to
make peace on any other terms. This the/ ewe
to the prefumptuoui incapacity of thttfe (iatelmen •
who have involved ail Europe in difficulties, from
which neither they nor any man <else is able toex
tricate it, and wiio have placed the dates of the i
empire t» h lunation so peculiarly critical, that it .is <
almolt equally difficult and dangerous for i hem to
makepeace, or to carry on wax- 'Fothefepre
. tended statesmen, the Princes and States of'the
Empire are likely to owe the loss of their domin- <
ions, the Germanic body, the ilifmemberment of i
its territoryj and all the powers of the
state of infe«urity and peril in which they will be !
1 placed by the aggrandisement of France. ]
Frelh reports are in circulation of an early and I
. ftort session of parliament, to be closed bv a disso
lution. For our parts, we believe, that the fame i
irresolution and fluctuation which pervade all the I
other parts of government, also prevail in this, min- I
titers, we ate convinced, have no plan on the sub- i
jedt. All is committed to the Chapter of Acci- <
dents. 1 hey know not whether they are to recog- <
nize Louis X/ 111, They know not whether they
are to carry on a mad war, or. conclude adifgrace- !
ful peace : and they jire equally when <
they will difTolve parliament. All theft contingcn- i
cies depend upon each other, and upon anything
but design or forefignt in miniiters. ' i
September 7.
WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AMD PRUSSIA.
A Paris paper of the 3d inft. (le Journal de Peilet)
has the following article :
" Ihe Empress of Ruffu has (! ;; tared war a
gainlt the king of Piuffij. Amonglt the motives
assigned by the Empress in her declaration of war,
the following are the molt rerrtai kabk:
" That his Prufllan Majelty jias refuted t« eva
cuate the diftridts of Cracovia and Sendomir.
" 1 liat his Prussian M;jelty has made a peace
with the French, to the prejudice of the <1 gage
ments whicli he had contradted wirli a power late
ly become the ally of her Ruffian Majesty."
We are noft', according to every appearance, on
the eve of a war with Holland and Spain. We
have captured a frigate of the Dutch repu'blie. So
ber men, not infedied with a political Mania, will
alk what hostility the Dutch have committed sgainlt
us \ They have dismissed the Stadtholder; or ra
ther he abdicated his office by retiring from the
United Piovinoes. Spain has ventured to recog
nize the French republic, and, to prevent the sub
jugation of all her dominions in Et'irope, has been
rajb enough to furrender„apart of her territories
in America.' these are good orfufficient
reasons for a declaration of war. But it appears, in
fadt, that so insatiable is our hatred to the French,
thru wc cannot be upon good terms with the pow
ers connedltcd with them ; and to be an ally of that
nation, feeras to be a fnfficient cause for exciting
the vengeance of Great-Britain.
The trcafury prints are now busily employed in
preparing the public mind for a rupture with Spain.
The Spanifti part of Hifpaniola, they fay, certain- '
ly became Freneh property in the moment when
the treaty, by which it was giveh up, was ratified ; '
and that in this light is the matter considered by ;
government. But if we should attack their part '
of the iflnnd, whilst in possession of the Spaniards,
this quibble will avail but little ; and the firft gun
that is filed, will obviously add our late ally to the ■
number of our enemies.
Difpatchcs were yelterday received at the Admi
ralty ftom Lord Bridport's fquadrsn, at Qmberon
Bay : they Hate, that his I.oidlhip'sfquadron were
very much in want of both water and repairs. Mes
sengers, in oortfequence of these advices, were sent
off to the different sea ports of Plymouth, Ports
mouth and Falmouth.
Difpatchcs have been received at the Admiralty
from AJm. Duncan, who is arrived in the Downs,
from his cruize after the Datch fleet. The Ruffian
fleet remains ip the North Seas to watch the ope
rations of the combined Swedilh and Danilh fqaa
drons.
Died, on the 15th uh. Prince Charles George, \
of Hesse Darmstadt, in the thirty-ninth year of his 1
age.
Saturday some difpatchcs were received at the j
Admiralty fiom Rear Admiral Parker at Jamaica,
which were brought over in the Princes*. Royal .
packet, Capt. Skinner, arrived at Falmouth, and
brought >.o'wn as far as the 20th of July. The
I fleet on that 11 at ion had failed to look out for a
French squadron expedted from Brest, under com- '
mand of Admiral Val de Neilley.
Saturday.the three percent. Consols rose 1 7-8
per cent, from some intelligence circulating about
Change ; one of which ftifed aih adtion between
the BniilU ami French ii'.ets in t;;e Mediterranean, .
j with great advantage to the former j but there is
no regular communication of any such event, how- :
ever probable.
Another Dutch frigate is said to be taken in the
North Seas; but no official accounts are arrived. ]
A communication is now fettled ; so that go- ;
vernment are likely to have notice of anv material
I event in the course of three score hours from Paris,
wind and weather permitting.
The whole naval force on this intended expedi- .
tion to the Welt-Indies, will be ten ships of the 1
line : three of which are to be large three deckers, 1
besides frigates and llorefhips.
The reception of Gen Montesquieu's petition, (
and that of the Bithop of Autun,'gives us realon 1
to hope that the whole clafsof Constitutional Emi
grants will speedily be reltoied to their country.
When will the French government have generality
and magnanimity enough to require the liberation ;
of the gallant and unfortunate La Fayette? t
The time fixed for the failing of General Aber
cromby's army for the Well-Indies, is the begin
1 ning of Ottober ; it will consist of 25,000 men ;
j loj'ooo of whom are destined for St. Domingo,
