ment of the French Republic. They were 
deceived in this hope, for the French Go- 
“yernment now finds itfelf, with refpeét to 
America, in circumftances fimilar to thofe 
of the year 17953 and if it fees itfelf 
obliged to abandon, with refpect to them 
and neutral powers in generai, the favour- 
able line of conduét they have hitherto 
purfued, and to adopt different meafures, 
the blame of which would fall upon the 
Britifh government, it is their conduét 
the French Government has been obliged 
to imitate. 
The French ambaffador concludes this 
paper with hoping, that the government 
of the United States will maintain from 
all violation. a neutrality which France 
has always re{pected.

[Jan 
tion, of the 23d of December, a letter from 
Admiral I Lucas was read, relative to the 
capture of the Dutch fleet at the Cape of 
Good Hope, by the Englith. 
The Dutch Admiral relates the faéts 
relative to this bufinefs nearly in the fame 
manner as the Englifh Admiral, till he 
comes to Saldanah Bay. On the 12th of 
Auguft, he gained intelligence, while he 
was in the bay, that the Englifh were be- 
tween gooo and 10,000 ftrong, and that 
a confiderable part of that force was ad- 
vancing towards the bay. He refolved im- 
mediately to fail away, but the fleet was in 
want of provifions and-frefh water. In 
the mean time, on the 14th, 4000 or 5000 
Englifh troops arrived, who ere€ted bat- 
teries on a height, and the Bellona began 
to fire with red hot balls. He adds, that 
he fhould then have immediately got under 
fail, had he not have been oppofed by a 
{trong fquadron under the Englifh Ad- 
miral. He then points out the manner in 
which he and his fleet were captured, and 
concludes with ftating the bad difpofitions 
of his men, who fang Grange fongs, and 
were in faGt in a frate of muting ; this 
mutinous difpofition of his men, he ob- 
‘ferves, had as much influence in inducing 
him to capitulate, as the fuperiority of the 
Englith ficet.
