export, how are the citizens benefitted by the sale
of thcie articles 1 for they are not used, but re
niitted, as th?y answer better than rice, indigo and
cotton. But 'f any one will take the trouble to
enquire, he will find that even the merchants gene
rally are not benefitted ; for the prize goods are
monopolized by a few monied men, and they, and
not the citizens, are benefitted by this advantage
ous commerce, as he calls it. So that, from his
own (hewing, the southern states, if he means the
citizens of the southern states, will not feel the mif
chievous efferts of the treaty.
Bat he tells you that the revenue will be injured
as the duties paid on them at the custom house a
mounted to thirty thousand dollars. This obferv
tr either wilfully mifreptefents, or is very ignorant
of what he has undertaken to explain ; for every
farthing of the duty except one percent is return
ed on thefc goods being exported. So that the re
venue does not get one fix pence by them if they
are remitted. Now, if this is such an advantage
ous commerce to our merchants, the articles tnuft
be exported ; if they are exported, the revenue is
not benefitted ; as the drawback would be allowed,
and the citizens will derive Jno advantage, fer they
cannot be consumed in a foreign country and in this
also.

ADDRESS.
The Executive Directory to the French Armies.
DEFENDERS of the country the moment ap
proaches when you are again to take up your vi£to
tious arms ; the moment approaches when you are
to quit a repose to which you consented in the hope
alone that it would lead to an honorable peace ; but
the seas of blood which have flowed have not yet sa
tiated the rage of your enemies. They unquestion
ably imagine that we ara about to abandon the fruits
of oar victories, at the very moment when fucccefs
is ready to crown them. They imagine that we
are about to demand of them as cowards a peace
which we have offered them as generous enemies,—
Let them conceive these unworthy expe&ations ;
we will not be surprized ; they hava never combat
ted for liberty ; but what they cannot be ignorant
of, is that the brave armies with which they wish
again to try their strength, are the fame by which
they have been so often subdued. No—they have
not forgotten the prodigies of French valor ; they
still recollect with terror, boththe redoubts of Gem
mappes, and the plains of Fleurus, add the frozen
rivers of Holland ; they recoiled that the Alps and
the Pyrenees have opposed to you but feeble barri
/ ers, and that the peninfulaof Quiberon became the
tomb of all the parricidal Haves, which, in the hopes
of fubje&ing you to the yoke of a matter, dared
to set their feet on the foil of the republic. If they
could have forgotten aIV this, you will bring it to
their recolleaion by blows tiill more terrible : you
will learn them finally, that nothing can refill the
efforts of a great nation which determines to be
free.
Brave warriors you have afforded an example of
difintercftednefs which cannot exiit unless amoog
Republicans. Oftcrrtimcj zrmitift thc grt-areft scar
' city of provisions, of an absolute want of the mod
indispensable objects, you have displayed that hero
ical patience, which joined to your impetuous va
lour, so eminently diltinguifhes you, and will signa
lize you to all nations, and t» the eyes of poftenty.
Republican soldiers, you willpreferve this great cha
ras^r; and at the moment when your situation has
been Meliorated, when with an unanimous voice
the RepKentatives of the nation have taken mea
futes to provide efficacioufiy for your wants, you
will redouble also your vigour and courage, to put
an end to a war which can be terminated by new
victories alone.
In vain has the French government manifefted to
all powers which wage war against France, a sincere
wilh to restore at length the repose of cxhaufted
Europe ; it has in vain made to them tfcc molt just
and moderate propositions ; nothing has been capa
ble of removing their deplorable blindness. Yes,
brave warriors, we mult ftfll have vi&ories, and it
is your energy alone that can put a (top to to this
devaluating faourgc. Prepare therefore for a last ef
fort ; and let it be decisive : let every thing yield
to, let every thing be dissipated by your Phalanxes j

ones, the trophy with which, in the name of France
always great in her misfortunes, always just in her
prosperity, the equitable peace you will give t« the

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION!
Yesterday arrived here the (hip Providence, capt.
Felt, 7 days from Charleftoc (S. C.) who brings
the following diltreffing particulars :—That onmon
day tbe 13th inft. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
a fire broke out in a (table in Lodge Alley, which
soon communicated to, and kid watte the surround
ing buildings, amounting to upwards of three
hundred! and it was not entirely got under until
after 12 hours particular exertions of the inhabit
ants ; and we are sorry to learn, that a number of
lives were lolt, and other injuries happened during
the aonflagration ; particularly in the attempts to
blow up small wooden buildings, in order to flop
the progrefsof the flames. By an operation of this
k'nd,a young man was blown at lead 12 feet high ;
he luckily received no material injury.
An immense property muff have been dellroyed ;
but the gentleman who furnifties the above, is not
able to conjecture the amount, or who were the
pfincrp-at fofferersby this deftruflivc element.

SINGULAR CASE OF MURDER.
A French officer, on the 3d inft. going in a ves
sel from the Hague to Rotterdam contracted an
acquaintance with one of the palfengers, * dealer
in watches, who was going from the latter city to
Brabant. The watchmaker was so well pleafetl
with the patriotic effufions of his companion in the
courfc of their pafftge, that, when the vessel arriv
ed at its place of dcllination, both resolved to halt
at the fame inn, which is called the Klene Schippere
Herberg. They supped together, and afterwards
amused themselves at cards till one in the morning,
when tbejr agreed t» flcep in one roo®, and at
length in one bed. Unfortunately, however, tlif
tradesman had, cither by accidcnt or careltffnefs. eS
hii'iied to his new acquaintance a purse richly flow
ed with ducats. The officer waiting till flcep had
closed the unsuspicious traveller's eyes, flopped his
mouth with a handkerchief, and almost instantly
plunged a sword into his bread. The instrument
miffing the unfortunate man's heart, he awoke,and
struggled violently, but wa* not able to give any a
larm. Tlie officer chagrined at the disappointment
continued to hack the miserable victim till his intes
tine« dropped out, till no signs ot life appeared,
when he dragged the body to a trunk, which be
longed to the murdered person, in order thus to con
ceal the main evidence of this dreadful deed, and
by cutting the joints of the thighs and arms,which
were brought by that means to reft on the budy, he
at length' succeeded ; and again locked the trunk.
Being unable, however, to wipe tip all the blood
which deluged the bed and the chamber, he slab
bed himfelf in a part where no danger could result,
and returned in tranquility to his pillow, where he
aiftually slept so long the next morning, that the
chambcr maid conceived it her duty to inform the
gentlemen of the late hour; but obtaining ho answer
flic peeped through the key hole ; and feeing the
floor covered with blood, gave an instant alarm.
The police officers attended, broke open the door
and after a narrow search, discovered the horrible
contents of the trunk. The Frenchman alledged,
that what had happened was merely in his own de
fence, and {hewed his wound as a demonstration of
the intention of the deceased ! He is, however,
clofelv confined, but the friends of humanity fufpedt
thn - ; rr.-> -r will escape his merited punishment.
i . ngit ;>ody was taken to the surgeon's hall
'ft' and exposed to pnblie infpetlion for
"t" ; n order to discover the unfortunate
t: t ; ne and family.

Isle of France, March 25, 179<5.
" The Mode (I y Privateer arrived here 5 ilavs ago
from a moil fuccefsful cm ze ofT the Saurl Head in
the Bay of Bengal—and has brought in all her pri
zes ; the mod valuable of which is the Triton En
glish Ealt-lndiarnari from Madras for Bengal. The
citeumftances of this capture are perhaps the moll
extraordinary that ever occurred, and are as follow :
1 he Modelly had at firll but 80 men, and had dis
tributed the greater number on board her other pri
zes—when the Indiaman hove in fight, a Bengal
pilot snow (which was h pti_ to the Modelly, and
which they used as a decoy) then bore down upoa
the Triton, having on board only 23 men in all,
and boarded fiora their yard arms this foimidable
'hip—l 7 republicans only got on board, and with
sword and pistol in hand completely mafteted her
in about 15 minutes. The Indiaman had 130 Eu
ropeans on board, was well armed and had taken
30 men extra from Madras The English capiain,
and Bor 10 men were killed in the aftum—the relfc
run below, and were secured. They then apturcd
another vcflVl, which'the prisoners ransomed, and
flffled for Madras. The generous FrtnEli captain
{who is a young hero not 21 years old) gave the
paflfengers,among whom were several ladies, all their
private property. He fought the English captain
hand to hand, and lhat him with his own pistol.—
It seems the Modesty was not i« company at ail—
and indeed n would have been a fad digression from
her name to have engaged in such an unequal com
bat— 17 men overpowered 130 ptote&ed by 40
guns, at lead, mounted 1 — the remaining 6 cot'ld
not get on board. The english prisoners made
to pass one by one, in irons from their own (hip
into the ranforned veiTel—and the invincible 11 r* of
old England, exclaimed as they pafled, " D—n
my eyes, 'Jack, where are the me:i that took us ?"
t he French piivateer had only a letter of maiqne'u
commifilon, and went originally to take turtle—flic
is an American built vessel, and belonged Ult war
to, and failed from Baltimore—fchiioutr rig,. 1,
and was called the Antelope. In confequenc- <f
this iuccefs, the Governor here has granted permis
sion foi 4 priviteersto fail sot India, and they ate
now equipping.
American produce is very dull here and in no de
mand. Somearticks are fifty per cent, lower than
in America. Coffee 13 riling daily—the price is
now 15 1-2 dollars per sack of 100 French lb. and
scarce any to be had at that rate. The Governor
is refpedled, and the island is in a state of defence
—but they fear a visit from the English fleet.
However, it would be difficult to take the island,
and indeed alinoft impofiibie—bue the port could
be easily blockadrd, as the French have only a few
fiigates in these feag.
" There are fix or eight Americans here, all
making bad voyages, and we hear of a d*>zen more
