\ The Supplement to a Calcutta Paper of February

the Triton Indiaman. * ,
* CALCU FT A» February 7,
f Extrafl of a letter from Ganjam, dated 2d of
r February, 1796. 1
; " I learn the' Triton was taken by the Cartier
f schooner, lately captured by tht Modefte, and that
t {he was surprized and boarded without any refill- i
ancetheir ports were all down, and their arms in
[ thsgunroom,& the whole ofthe enemy which board
. Ed didnotexceed 25 men. They immediately clear- (
, ed the decks, on which were only 6 men, including
' the eagfain and lieutenant Picket, who wereailtil-
They fired into the hatchways until the crew
called our for quarters.
" The? French behaved with gr«at politeness to
Mrs. Wade and Miss Caruthers, who were .pas.
fengers on board ; and all the officers and paffen- (
, gers were allowed to bring on board the Diana, as
much as the.y could carry in bags or bundles of
their wearing apparel, but no bureau or trunks. (
" 1 he whole of the officers, crew and pafTengers
are on fliore, and likewise fix wounded men.
J ' The Diana, capt. Tapfon, has been taken up
to convey them to Bengal, as soon as they are re
fitted for sea,
" It is fappoCed that both the Cartier and Triton
pal Ted this on the fame day as taken (the 29th ult.)
on their way to the Mauritius: The Triton was
taken opposite Jogornaut Pagoda. The Diana was
ransomed."

. TO THE PUBLIC.
fljfe —
Patience herfelf would fret if (he was' obliged to
repeat the numerous inve£lives, by which ihe Pre
, v j e Tident is bespattered ever)'morning, in that mirror
of freedom, the Aurora; Informed as we are con
ng cerning the true eaufe of this political abuse, and
hoping that the cause will not be removed, we are
not to expect a change of language from that quar
'til ter, nor (hould we eomplain of Jiarmlefs invcdiive,
y whjch ffo body believes, provided the mind of the
Printer or hi; correspondents can be relieved by
. ' ' from th- n"jllinnr pv" ~ c ' rr|| i'niiii)r
; 1. . inter,Tflie pleafcs, may tell us again,
.: « v I Wafhiuglon was opp»/fed to the
... • ; ■..ii i.i<iepett<kacr?' And he may re
• ' tht Prcfident of the United States Is
h tbe British Government, to re
; ■• ■ a il.teof slavery." Such (lories are not
.i. they do not hurt the President ; but the
Printer or his correspondents ihotild obfcrve some
"" kind of iyftem in their abuse. They (hould Heal as
iifual in doubtful or falfe fa&s. They (hould aot
°f attempt to cover the Prelident with a torrent of
)n mud, while they are alluding to such parts of his
to coa:lu£l as are obviously prudent and wife, unless
!■' abusive Unguage is molt congenial to their feelings.
r » We recommend confifteoce, for we can neveivbe
ln lieve they wish to praise.
c > The questions whieh the Pre (id out i; fuppufed
to have put to (he heads of departments before the
J f arrival of' Mr. Gener, unmarked by capitals or Ita
d lies, may be examined by the eye of a critic, or the
i" eye of an enemy, and they will not bear the charge
:r of ingratitude, perfidy, treachery and Machiavtlian
n policy, nor will they appear to be a Jlupenaous ma
'■ nument of degtnenuy.
j Those questions, probably handed us by the late
n confident, firm and faithful Secretary of State, are
!r said to have been as follows :
a
t . Qn< aion 1 ft.Stiall a proclamation ifluefor the pur
j| pose of preventing interferences of tht citizens of
the United States in the war between France and
j Great Britain, See. ? Shall it contain a declara
r. ration of neutrality nr not ? What (hall it con
h
e Qncltion 2d. Shall a Minister from the Republic
| of France be received !
lC Question 3d. If received (hall it be abfolutety, or
with qualifications ; and if with qualifications, of
yvl'at kind ?
c Question 4th. Are the United States obliged by
y good faith to coniider the Treaties heretofore
made with France as applying to the present si
tuation of the parties ? May they renounce them
or hold them suspended 'till the Government of
France (hall he eftablilhed ?
Question sth. If they have the right, is it expedi
ent to do either—and which ?
Question 6th. If they have an option would it be a
breach of neutrality to consider the Treaties (till
in operation ?
Question 7th. If the Treaties are to be cotifidered
as now in operation, is the guarantee in the Ttea-
Y ty of Alliance applicable to a defenfive war only,
f or to a war either offenfire or defenfive ?
Question Bth. Doss the war in which .France is
engaged appear to be offenfive or defenfive on
her part ? Or of a mixed and equivocal chara£ter:
Question 9th. If of a mixed and equivocal charac
r tcr, does the guarantee in any event to
t such a war ?
" Question roth. What is the fffeil of a guarantee,
1 such as that to be found in the Treaty of Alli
ance between the United Slates and France ?
- Question nth. Does any article in either of the
C Treaties prevent (hips of war, other than priva
teers, of the powers to France from
' coming into the ports of the United States to
adl as convoys to their own merchantmen ? Or
1 does it lay any other restraint upon them more
than would apply to the (hips of war of France-?
• Question izth. -Should the future regent of France
5 fend a Minister to th« .United States, ought he
f to he received ? ■
Question 13th. Is it neceflary or advisable to .call
1 together the two houses of Coiigrefs with a view
to the present posture of European affairs ? If
> it is, what fhotild be the particular obitfts of
such a call ?

; . reader is requested to look over these quef
tionsa second time, and consider whether they do
not contain indubitable proofs of great folicitu<lc to
preserve ihe peace and promote the happiness of
this country. Whether they are not questions that
ought to have been proposed. Was the proclama
tion concerning oar neutrality improper ? Are we
not indebted to that measure for our present peace
and profpei ity ? Was it perfeflly clear that a Trea
ty made by us with the monarchy of France must
remain in force between us and the new formed Re
public ? If the Treaty remained in force were the
obligations of that Treaty obvious? If the 4th
question implies a doubt concerning the obligations
of that Treaty, does not the 6th qneftion imply a
with that us validity may Jbe cftablifhed ? The quef- <
tiorls concerning the guarantee of the Weft Indies 1
extend to a fubjefl that was interesting to a man j
who had experienced the horrors of war, and did
not will to £ee thoufandc of his fellow citizens froai 1
year to year devoted to the sword and the difcafes
of a hbt climate. Would the President hare de
served the character of a prudent magistrate if he 1
had not submitted such qucftions to the confideia- J
tion of his council ? We only believe that such quef.
tions were put because they were obviously proper.
Is there a zealot, or a jacobin, or a firebrand in the /
country who thinks that the measures adopted by
the President in confequenae of that supposed con- "
full at ion were not prudent ? We have not been
fetkißg for an opporiunity qf praising the Prcfi
dent, but we are naturally surprised when the Au
rora itfeif brings to light such proofs /of vigilance
aud virtue in tlie man whom its patrons do not de
light to hui cur.
