ABM I > s s BY THIS DAY'S MAIL. iV a im NEW-YORK, May 3. AW died] On Sunday fe'night, Mrs. Ann Johnfdn, wife of William Samuel Johnlon, L. L. D. Presi dent of Columbia College, in the 67th year of her age, after a lingering sickness, which (he bore vrt'th christian fortitude and resignation : the loss of this truly pious and amiable Lady is fmcerely regretted by her lurviving friends and relations. Her re mains were 'conveyed for interment to the family vault at Stratford in the State of Conne&icut. & - jr; A T.nn/toi —- e »he 19th March, received wrings accounts of the pro n Spain and England. It . « to -an agreed point be *-•' i, w>a< Spain shall break, before this event takes p:a«, ioa.i- . 'menu are to be com - embarking on board Spanish (hips for the W. Indies, as the most eligible mode of conveying reinforcements to the Islands. It is suggested alio at Paris, that the adlual defli naqon of the Dutch fleet, which has failed fiom the Texel, is to join the French fleet in the Mediterra nean. The French government is occupied jn retrain • ing the licentiousness of the press. AH fee the evil and none can devise a remedy. In the council of Five Hundred, a decree paflfed on the Bth March, ordaining that no man Ihould hold a public office unless he would take the oath of " hatred to royalty." Public officers who should not take that oath in three days were to be transported. A letter from Copenhagen of the Bth March states, as report, that the Britiih and Ruffian min isters are about quitting that city, pn account of Mr. Grouvelie's being received as miniiler of the French Republic. Gen. Jourdan arrived at Bonn, Feb. 28 Archduke Ferdinand, Governor of Milan, is to have the command of the army of Italy. Gen. Beaulieu is to command under him. Admiral Jefvis with his squadron left Leghorn, Feb. 19, supposed in quell of the Toulon fleet, which was said to be out. The great quedion is at lad decided—The vote of appropriation for the British Treaty is pad ; and all kinds ot bufmefswill revive, in confidence that our peace will not be interrupted, .and that commerce will fuffer no new defalcations. The majority of the House of Representatives refilled, till the sense of the people compelled them to abandon their opposition. The members who have changed fides ob the quedion, have at lafta doptcd the fame arguments for execating the Trea ty as the friends of adrainiilration used to defend the conduct of the President and Senate,.the lad summer. It certainly is to be lamented; that party spirit should make men blind and obstinate; for nothing but obdinate blindness could h<»ve prevent ed any man from admitting the propriety of exe cuting ihe treaty—and. common ob£ervation alone was neceffj'ry lalt summer to convince any candid jllan, that the sense of the great body of Ameri can citizens would ultimately determine foi the ex pediency of ratifying the treaty-. The progress of this affair has been uniform.— 'Mr. Jay helitated whether to sign the treaty or not —the Senate helitated—the President hefnated—- and finally, after deliberating almod a year,the peo ple have decided that on tha whole view of cir eumftances, it is bed to accept the treaty and car*' •ry it into effect. The friends of our government •have uniformly viewed this business in the fame light; and its enemies have been compelled tocoß- r orm to this reasoning. But theprogrefs of the business hat been markec with improper conduit. The appeal to the peopli constituted authorities. The recent appeal to th< people by the friends of the Constitution, tbo' less improper, beeaufe in favor of an acknowledged law of the land, yet has been irregular; it is all impro per ; it is an extraneous influence, unknown to the regular governmental proc*edings ; one that is lia ble to be misused and perverted to dangerous pur poses. Besides, such a resort to the people, weakens the operations of law and. constitution ; dimiriilTjes the ionfidenc* that foreign nations and our swn citi zens ought to place in government, and in (hort ex hibits our fyflem of government in a ludicrous, light. By a gentleman who came in the (hip Afiiftance, John Mowat, Esq. Commander, the Editor was favored with Englifli papers to March 21 from which the following articles are extracted : CADIZ, Fcbraary 19. The Convoy from England is expe&ed to fail atfoon as Admiral Mann appears in the offing of our bay. He was expe&ed this day. The French are in port, and are waiting to have a cUarcoaft, before they will attempt to fail. I have been on boaid all thofi? ftiips, and met with a most cordial reception. Some of the-officer! are old acquaint and Freres d'Armes. It must impartially Navy is farfuperior to them. them. They are all tired of the war, and they ac knowledge their country to be in a raoft deplora ble fjtoation. HAGUE, March 6. In the firft fitting of the National Aflembly, Ci tizen Paulas was uuanimoufly elected President : the number computing the National Aflembly was 89. P. Paulus, in accepting the post, said, " I declare, in the name of the people of thelow-coun tries, that this aflembly irthe Repiefentative body of the Belgic people the hall resounded with applauses, in which the Ambafladors of France, Denmark and Portugal, took part. the fame a feleit band of music was heard, and the windows | looking into \lk interior court being opened, a fvaat ntumber of trpjnpets announced, that the AMcmblj was conllituted, which was received by thepeopje with the. cries of " Vive h RepiiblJque." citizens and military answered by acclama tion, twirling their hats upon their bayonets. Se veral discharges of mafquetry and artillery were made at the fame time. Citiien Paulus then harangued the AfTembly, 3n d proposed that the garrison of the Haaue should lie under the immediate orders of the Aflembly and its I lefiuent, and that the latter should have the watch-word and the capacity of giving orders. It being decreed that an orderly regulation should be formed for the afTembly ; the members chosen for this purpose, weie citizens Bicker, Bofweldt, Hofman, Hagn, Quegen de Kempenaar, Van Leuwen, and Vandtr Veen. After some other operations of little importance, the fitting rose at half after five in the,evening, A commission from the intermediate regency of the province of Holland appeared in the fining of the 3d, to itsconftitution the evening be fore. A deputation from the Bourgeoifo of the Hague demanded, that the assembly should nomi nate a commission- to afiill at a Civic Fete, which they were upon the point ef celebrating, which was granted. In the fitting of the 4th, Citizen Shicher was charged to inform the diplomatic corps, the aflembly had prepared a place for their reception, and desired to know the numberof their suite. The remains ot this fitting were extremely outrageous, in confluence of the reading of fomtr pieces, tranf. mitted by the Amsterdam Committee of Surveil lance, in which thePrefident was accused (we know not cpori wnat ground) of delivering the Cape of Good Hope to the Englift. Alter much uninterelting debate," principally u pon the denunciation of thePrefident, an harangue in the name of the armed force of tfie Hague, in which it was propjfed to p-epaie a medal to be presented to those wh® should mod distinguish their lelves in the civic fete. The fitting rofc at five it the evening. ■ .r. '-k*v4 4)1 f.

VIENNA, February 24. Ab our Court, in concert with it> allies, finds it<- felf obliged to continue the war ngainil France, the plan fettled for recruiting in the Aultrian proviuccs is putting in execution. Numbers of flnc troops are daily setting off to the army. The Arch-Duke Charles will goto the army by way of Munich. The Eledtor of Saxony has given notice to the Emperor, by his Envoy Count Schoenftld, that the Saxon contingent of troops will its march on the 7th of nexl month for Frankfort, there to wait for its faither dcflination. The reciuiting lately begun in the Provinces, has been attended with eve ry success, and will soon be carried into etTedi in this capi'al. Meffr». Baker and Maier, of London, have ob tained the Emperor'* pe> million for the pafft"the United Provinc es met at the on the illii.ltant, and having verified their peweie, the States General immedi ately religned their fun£lions and di (Lived their aflembly. The ceremony was extremely fpletdid, and accompauied'by much ilic feftivity. The Polilh King's abdication was a point neces sary to those powers who ie'agtrJ dismember his country, and they have luevreded ; but it is evident in the inquiries on Poland, ihe political confe queuces to Rullia, under her supposed views oo on Constantinople, are of much greater magnitude than they can piove to the other pani.iuning pow ers. Her acquisitions in that ill-fated country, led dire&ly to the obje£l Ihe had in viaiv, and if death does not terminate her insatiable appetite for domi nion, we may soon expert to fee her in the pursuit of her favorite scheme of adding Constantinople to her prefcot unwieldy empire. March 18. This morning arrived a mail from Hamburgh— The intelligence it brings is of very trivial note. vigorous preparations arc every where making or the continuance of the war, and the fame ime fpcculations refpe&ing peace continue afloat. We are allured, by authentic information,' that he prefont state of France is such as to afford the aired profpeft of ultimate success in the necefTary onteft in which we have been forced to engage — The moll complete diifatisfa&ion prevails through out provinces at the violent meafuresof govern sent, which, by the moil despotic exertions of au hority, daily violate the laws and principles of the tew conllitution, and invade those rights and attack hose liberties, which it profefles to guard and to :onfirm. The forced loan, in particular, has ex ited the molt general difcontenf-. Petitions have icen presented against it from ail quarters j but so arfrom producing the desired effcdl, tljey haveon y been anfwertfd by the formation of frefh lifts, in vhich the number of fubferibers is encreafed, with iut any diminution of the sum which cach indivi. lual is ordered to contribute. In many instances, he sum impofcd is greater than the whole fortune >f the person who is to pay it. On this head the writes are at iflue ; the peifoos taxed hav* peremp nri 5 icfu'od to pay, ami- the govemment,hETi».or- Vj.', l ' le ' r effects J© be Weed, and exposed to prub lic iale.

We l)m!»r(l a „d.that the Court of Madrid has J 'vjded to the remoiiftrances made by Lord Bute, i. naj-femoved'-'the suspicions cn.ertained o. its political conduit. The Spanifli mirtiltry have frnt o |f .ers to Cadiz to dismantle twenty fail of the ine, lying in that port ; —and a French privateer uhich was at Alicam, and had taken some of onr veilels, has been ordered from thence to Toulon. It 19 the determination of the Admiralty hoard, we tt'iderftand, that the number of flag cffi?eis a always be a hundred ; the vacancies in that number to be filled up every two years. Sir Edward Pc New has been advanced to the rank 9 for his humane and fpinted exertions, in laving the lives of the troops, &c.' who were on board the Dmton when flie was wrecked at Ply mouth. How gratifying is it to every good mii,d, o lee veward tibus crowning defcrt! i March 15.

The damage (he fuftained°by L'lm jperieufe running aboard of her, was not such as to endanger her fafety. The accident happened on the 4th of January, a little to the Southward of Cape 1" inlllcrie. La Sybille continued cruising wilh the reft ps her squadron till the 24th, when (he parted company in a violent gale and thick weather. A f;rie& of llorms fincc that period had carried away almost tjie whole of her rigging, and done her other very material injury, so as to have exposed her to the utmofl danger ; but the lad Corunna mail happily brought intelligence to the Admiralty of her having made Gibraltar on the sth of Fe bruary. I Ire Sybille had sustained so little darrtage from the accident which was said to have proved her l )ls, that immediately after Jier arrival at Gibraltar, Hie was fein up the Straits upon a particular ser vice. Ihe Dutch Admiral Braak has informed the Marine Minister, that several Englilh men of war have been fcen cruising off the Dogger Bank ; hut ihat until their number is encreafed, no engage ment can be expeflcd, as the Dutch squadron is too ftrowg for the Englilh to attack it.
