A T.nn/toi —- e »he 19th March, received
wrings accounts of the pro
n Spain and England. It

before this event takes

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.

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

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.

LONDON, Mirch jfi!
The National Convention i>t"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.

We have receded such of the Paris journals a

the Chouans have not made anv other than tempo

ten a letter of thanks to General Hoche, for his
zealous and patriotic exertions in La Vendee.
tain Edward Cook, we are requested to contradict
the report of the probability of her having been 101 l
off Portland. 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.
