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."

THURSDAY EVENING, June 16, 1796.
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.

FRENCH FLEET.
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

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.

On the motion of Savery it was decreed, that
the raeffages from the Directory to the Councilfhould

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
