What has been t&s price of your political itrteiwe dlinif with Frcnch affairs; or what advantages Save resulted therefrom ? Can you, without blulhing, hear mentioa made of your allies ; Can you sup press the fcariet tinge, on thinking ot the German troops which over ran your country, devoured your < lubftance, and then scandalously took hasty ? Upbraid you the exasperated conqueror, for forci bly entering your habitations, while compelled by i themolt argent neceffiiy tooppofc the united pow- , ers of the House of Orange, of England,and Prus sia, while strong political reafous impelled him to drive his coalesced enemies from her territory ?No ! i rather impute all the calamities which occured to i those who openly, who notoriously occasioned i them. " And now, through a fortunate accordance of political sentiment, the French patriotic party, ha ving united with us to promote the public welfare ; have we 7 -on the juil score of retaliation, or from (he rights of war, either molelled your persons, or itiade any marked innovations' on y<iur property ; On the contrary, all our views, all our exertions are dire&cd to the general good of foeiety ; no one is opptefled because his religious or political tenets vary from those which wt profefs. All our efforts are directed to establish the rights of men, and of the citizen, on a basis that cannot be shaken by a ny usual fiorm. And yet do your hearts occafioual ly leap with joy when a profpedt opens for the re turn of tyranny and tyrants; our executioners, your friends and redeemers ! Already you are pre paring timber secretly for the murdering destined to exterminate the last of the patriots. Is this, then the reward of our moderation, our cle mency, our patience, the recompense of our volun tary services ? Did you alone quarter the French fnldiery ? or did we prepare our'proportion of the burden ? You ought indeed to have sustained tile whole; for those rulers, which you so much adore wantonly involved the country in a (late of war. " Have we not also contributed largely to the demands which have been made upon us, and to the exigencies of the'ftate? Yet did not our govern ois rob ttlc clrcfts where the public money was de pefited ! Have we imbrued our hands in your blood ? Can the father of a family, a widow, or an orphan, complain that we took the bread from their mouths, to feed any of our poor or hungry ad- j , herents. Yet in 1787, we fuffered all the horrors \ of want,and,were immersed in sorrow, by your in human persecutions. Have we not called you to our primary assemblies, and extended the brotherly hand of friendfhip ? And, in any of our underta kings do we lose fight of your interests, as fellow ! citizens? Answer, and coiuound us, if it be pol fible. j% " What does your prince in England ? He a buses that power eritrufted to him for a quite differ, ent purpose. He dispatches orders to your colo nies, that they may be delivered up to the Englilh without the trouble of a contort. He has a'tfo cut off the main vein, the foflrce of our merehandife, which formed the country's happiness. He is im poveriihlng the land : Tthink you, that, with his return, our foreign pofefiioiis will be reltored, as a sacred Jepofit which had merely bin in. the hands of a friend ? He lives on the proceeds of a part of ihofa {hips that were fhametu'Jy carried into Eng land, and yet more irifamouflv conhfcated : the re mainder has been seized by your worthy allies.— Would you know yet more of the manner in whish he supports the Dutch honor,read the English news papers daily puljifhed, and turn pale ! Why goes your princess to Betlin ? Her object is, to put the finifhing stroke to your utter downfall: for yet a re volution, and (he obt'ains her earnest desire. What, lastly, is the enjoyment of your wandering princes! To fell to England and Prussia those unhappy sol diers who have been inveigled to quit their native country. The officers haic been fed with windy promises ; and they find themselves egregioufly de ceived, after having helped to forge chains to en slave their country : to render it for ever subservi ent to foreigners. Adherents of the House of Orange,refleft cooly on these important confidera tioms, and learn to ftifle your criminal hopes."

Thomas Barclay, esq. is appointed the King's Commiffior.er for fettling the ttue liver St. Croix. It is with sincere regret we announce to our fellow citizens, the death of the amiable and much lament ed Major-General Walter Stewart, of this Ci ty, at the premature age of forty years—seven of which had been pasTed in the a£live military service of his country, during the revolution tyar, «n the close of which he had, with honor to himfelf, and distinguished advantage to the service attained the rank of Brigadier General in the army of the Uni ted States. He was afterwards appointed Major General of the firft division of the Pennsylvania mi litia. Returning to private life, he occupied a respec table flat ion as a merchant ; and eminently pra£Vi sing the social virtues, he became endeared to all who enjoyed the pleasure of his personal friead- ; (hip. An ufeful citizen, an affe&ionate husband, father, son, and brother, a faithful friend, and a kind mas ter, he discharged the several duties, enjoined on these relations, with so much ho lor and beneficence i as to leave the deepest impressions of sorrow for his early death, which has bereft an amiable wile and leven children, of their bell and dearest relative, and the community of a deserving and ufeful mem ber. His funeral, which was performed with military honours, was numerously and refpe&fully attended by his fellow citizens—The Society of the Cincin nati, and the Officers of the First Division of Mili tia following as mourners. CAUTION To Merchants and other Citizens of the United States. THE advices teceived by Captain O'Brien from Cbionel Humphseys, at Lisbon, (hew that the temporary obllacles to a fulfilment of the iii pulations 011 the part of the United States with the Dey and Regency of Algiers, are not yet re moved. The treaty itfelf being put in jeopardy, by these unexpected delays, the fafety of Ameri can vefTels entering the Mediterranean has become 'j extremely precarious. It (hould also be remember ed, that no treaty has ever yet been made between the United States and the governments of Tripoli and Tunis. Merchants and 01 her citizens of United States will hence lee the hazard to which they will expose their property and the liberty of their fellow citizens, by engaging, in the piefent state of things, in commerce within the Straits of Gibraltar.

Yesterday arrived the schooner Charlotte, Capt. Caleff, in 11 days from Cape NL-hola Mole, capt. Caleff informn, that a French fleet has arrived at Caps Francois, confittingof 2 ships of the line, 6 frigates, and 1 sloop of war, and had brought out 1800 troops. On their passage they captured 3 English traufpOrts with troops, to the Mole from England. The above fleet is reported to be the forerunner ofa large fleet of 180 fail of French transports, under convoy, bound to the Weft-In dies. I'riimediately on the above news, admiral Parker got under way with his whole fleet, to cruize to windward to intercepl them. The Bntifh troops had not done any thing since their arrival at the Mole, and it was understood there that the French were cannonading St.Marcs, the 26th May. • Off Heneaga, on the 28th of May, was boarded by three French privateers, who enquired for pas sengers, and dismissed them.

Late European News, Received by the Ship Flora, Captain IVatfon, ar rived hfre yesterday in 37 days from Liverpool. FRANCE. PARIS, April to. Affli&ing news has been received from the De -1 partment of Cher. The. afTemblages of Royalists 1 which have been formed there are become more nu merous, and have already committed many acts of violence. The town of Sancerie i» said to be al ready in their lianas, where they have destroyed all the Republican symbols, and hoisted the White Flag. It is a Monsieur Bonthilliers, an Ex-con stituent, who is at the head of this Infurreftion. j Our Government haß ordered troops-to march thi ther ; aud is taking the mod adive measures to put : a stop to this rebellion and to discover the uuthors. j If the Ami des Laix may be credited, the Di! rectory have perceived the folly of the Treaty con cluded with the Eleclor of Hanover, and ha 6 just given orders to iuvade his dominions. We d'd not knortr that the engagements, contracted under the faith of Treaties, could be conlidered as fooliili. We are equally at a loss to know whether this po licy, which was doubtless invented by Charles La croix, is well calculated tofecure the attachment of the Court of Berlin, under whose mediation that neutrality wasagued apon. It is acknowledged that the negociatioJis with the Court of Turin are broken off. We are assu red, that the Sardinian Miniiler reftifed to reeeive two Frenchmen, who were charged with propofi j tions for peace, because it was known, beforehand, that the terms were inaJmiffible.—There are some wl;<J ascribe their condudV, in this instance, to the intrigues of the Engiiih and Emigrants. In order to avert the dangers which threaten h:m, Frerun has married the filler of General Bo naparte. April 16.

On the motion of Savery it was decreed, that the raeffages from the Directory to the Councilfhould be sent under a fcalcd cover. PAtflS, April 18. We yesterday perceived at the Thuilleries all the elements of sedition and maflacre ; the agents of the tyranny of 1793-4, Gen. Roffignol, and others of the criminal tribunal. The Pantheonifts go al most every night to the Cafe des Bains Chinaies, on the Boulevards, whieh is become the principal home of anarchy ; and they spread themfelres over Paris in parties of ten, twelve, or twenty men, and wo men, and by this means endeavor to organize Re j volt.
