PHILADELPHIA, January 15.
The editor of the Philadelphia Gazette has this day been favoured by a respectable gentleman in this city with the following important extract of a letter, dated Portsmouth, Virginia, the sixth instant.
"This moment the ship Bowman is arrived from Glasgow, which place she left the THIRTEENTH OF NOVEMBER. - I have not time to collect many particulars by her, as I am just going to dine with some French gentlemen. When I return in the evening, if any further is worth communicating, you shall have it.
"Amsterdam was not taken, but daily expected to be in the hands of the French. The siege of Maestricht is closely pressed, and expected daily to fall - the republicans having collected an immense force against it. Both fleets in port. Further successes in Spain, with whom and the combined powers, except Britain, peace is expected."
Extract of a letter from London, October 23. "We hope soon to have the pleasure of informing you that Mr. Jay's mission has been completed, as we understand from good authority, that the negotiation has so far advanced, as only to require the finishing hand being put to it.
"The successes of the French on the side of Holland, have been so great as to occasion much alarm, and to put all business in the United Provinces at a stand."
BY AUTHORITY JOHN ROSS, Esquire, having produced to me his commission as consul general from the free Imperial city of Hamburg, to the United States of America, I do hereby recognise him as such, and declare him free to exercise within the said United States, such functions and powers as may be given or permitted by the laws of the land, to the consuls of nations between whom and the United States no treaty or convention exists for permitting specific powers and functions to be exercised by their consuls reciprocally.
IN testimony whereof, I have caused these letters to be made patent, and the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Given under my hand, at the city of Philadelphia, the thirty-first day of December in the year of our lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the nineteenth. G. WASHINGTON. BALTIMORE, January 19. The following very important letter, from a respectable gentleman in Parish, to a commercial house in this town, was obligingly handed to the printers, on Saturday evening last. The authenticity of its contents cannot be doubted. Paris, November 6, 1794 We have reason also to assure you, that the articles of a treaty of peace between France, Spain and Sardinia, are now framing, so that any further hostilities between those powers, are now at an end or near it. Germany has sued for peace a long time since, but she finds a great unwillingness to accept of the conditions which France has held out to her. Austria will be obliged to humble the eagle's pride, and swallow the republican dose, otherwise her triple crown may be reduced. There is no doubt but the Rhine will be the line of division; and thus German Flanders will be added to France, and the right arm of the Seven Provinces be cut off.
Holland, under these circumstances, can but look despondingly on her impotent allies, and accept of what may in mercy be granted her. - And Great Britain may send forth her windy threats and lifeless vengeance for a few months longer. The only hope left her is, of having the whole force of this great people, with all their power and energy, thrown against her next year, in such a manner that probably a total ruin of that proud and imprudent nation will be the consequence, unless a second piratical capture of defenceless American ships, should support her. The newly adopted idea here is, peace with all the world, except Great-Britain, and the most strict friendship with the American States.
From this prospect of things, we thought it our duty to council you not to speculate in wheat or flour, or in the hire or purchase of vessels, for this country. The government of Sweden and Denmark, have warranted all that shall be carried from their countries, and in their own vessels, against the seizure of Great-Britain or the enemies of France, so that we shall receive most of those articles from thence, and at a cheaper rate, both freights and cargoes, than we could possibly have them from your states. The Hans_atick towns have done as much, and these furnish double the quantity of flour and wheat that can possibly be brought from America, and in a tenth part of the time. You see therefore, that if the great war was to continue, this country will not be in want of any of your assistance this year. We hope you have not speculated in the fire of vessels, as they have fallen here from $4 to 50 shillings.
The stoppage of paying the freights and cargoes in specie continues still: How long it will remain so we cannot say. You may depend on it however, that the intention of France is good towards Americans, and that final justice will be done.
