Gazette Of The United States

It is reported, says a correspondent, that seven or eight British vessels have sailed from this port since the commencement of hostilities between France and England, with a greater number of guns, &c. than they had on board when they arrived—and that this has been known to the minister of France.—However this may be, we do not hear that any representation on the subject has been made to the executive of the United States—At any rate, we may rest assured, that no transaction whatever will be suffered to pass unnoticed on the part of the government, that interferes with the strictest neutrality on the one hand, or an honorable recognition of the rights of treaties on the other.
