his executors on making application for Pay
ment, found that those two Persons who had
given their joint Bond, had been inimical to
the Cause of Libery in the United States ; and
that their Property was confifcatfd, the Exe
cutors alleging that the Bond was given pre
vious to the Revolution, annulled,o the State
of Georgia for relief.
It then became a Matter of Dispute, wheth
er those Executors, being Citizens of Soutbca
rolina, would sue the State of Georgia. An Ac
tion was instituted in the Unitea States circuit
Court of Georgia, and a Verdict obtained in
behalf of the Plaintiffs ; but removed by aWrit
of Demurer to the supreme Court of the United
States. And after being argued for several
Days by the Attorneygeneral of the United
States, and Mr. Dallas, who was employed
, against him. The five Judges as we have al
. ready mentioned, Yesterday delivered their
Opinion.
Judge Iredel's Opinion was against the
Dodrines advanced by the Attorneygeneral ;
but the chief Justice, Mr. J ay, Judge Cush
ing, Judge Wilson, and Judge Blair,
were of an opposite Opinion, and confirmed
that of the Attorneygeneral,which fixes a most
material and rational Feature in the Judiciary
of the United States. That every individual of
any State has the natural Priviledge of suing
either the United States or any State whatever
in the Union, for redress in all cases where he
can prove ajuft Claim, a Loss, or an injury
having been sustained, and vice versa.

PHILADELPHIA, February 19.
Supreme Court of the United States.
Yesterday the Jpdges of the supreme Court
of the United States delivered their opinions
upon the important Question which had been
argued before them for 13 Days, viz. whether
an Individual of any State; or, the United
States, or, whether the Citizens of any one
State may sue another State. The Attorneys
general, Mr. Randolph, was employed on
behalf of the Executors of a Citizen of the
State of Georgia, who had left America previous
to the Revolution,and removed to Greatbritain,
after fettling a partnership Account with two
Partners in Trade, and whole Bonds he took
for the Balance due him. After his Decease,
Duration, and its Direction seemed-to be frorn

East Indian Remedy for cutaneous Disor
ders.
Extraa of a Letter from a Phyfaian at Fort Saint
George, on she Ganges, to Do&or B
" Sir Paul Joddrel, from his Ikill in
Botany, has made a Discovery which is likely
to prove of the greatest Importance to the
Health and Ease of many, and will tend to the
Extirpation of those tormenting Maladies,
that are arranged under the Erysipelas. The
Remedy is as Simple as it is Efficacious. It
consists in Nothing more than a frequent Em
brocation or rubbing of the Parts where an
Eruption prevails, with common MUSH
ROOM KETCHUP. This Remedy, simple
as it appears, has never been known to fail in
removing Ringworms, Itch, or any other cu
taneous Eruptions after every other Medicine
has failed.
“ Sir Paul Accounts for the Efficacy of
this vegetable Curative, in the known noxious
Property of the Mushroom to all Animalcula.~
The Solution or Essence of this Fungus is
proved by this Discovery to bear such Enmi
ty, whatever is the occuet Cause of this Disor
der, that it immediately perforates the Cuti
cle, and totally exterminates the Infedion."
Ru hl, in the Name of the reigning Prince
Frederick de Salm Kerbourg, Prince
of the State of Epire, and a Citizen of France,
announced to the Convention,that that Prince
acknowledged the Sovereignty of the People ;
that he considered his former Subjects now in
no other Light than that of Fellowcitizens,
of friends & as his children, and requested the
Assistance of the French towards abolishing in
his Estate the Fanaticism of Priests & Monks,
a nd personal Servitude.

DUBLIN, December 1.
The Enormity of the pension Lift of this
Country, has long been considered as a heavy
Grievance and a just Sourceof national Dis
gust, both from the Waste of Treasure which
it induced, and from the motely AlTemblage
of Names which composed it : Some of which
as they were an Honour to, so others were the
Disgrace of Humanity. During the last two
Years, the Lapse of Time, and the Hand of
Death,had considerably lightened that oppref- #
five Burden ; and it was hoped that Ministers
would have formed that little Merit with the
Publick, not to renew its Weight. But what
has been the Consequence ? Without the Call
of Necefli ty, without the shadow of rewarding
eminent Merit, without any Impulse but that
of laviffiing the national Wealth/on devoted
adherents, has a monstrous Addition, great
beyond Example of any within the Reach of
Memory, been made to the pension Lift of this
Eftablifliment.
Dec. 4 —Yesterday Morning the Catholick
Delegates met at the Taylor's Hall, Backlane,
to consult on the ben Mode of carrying into
Effed the Measure for which they were chos
en ; which after all the Clamor, Mifreprefen
tation,and Inventive, to which they have given
rife,is nothing more than simply this : To pre
pare a Petition to the Legislature, laying be^
fore them the humble Request of all the Ca
tholicks of Ireland, that in Consequence of
their tried Loyalty, and long continued unin
terrupted good Condud, they may be admitted
to the Rank of Citizens,and fhare,in the com
mon with their Countrymen, the advantages
of the Constitution.
Dec. 6.—The Roman Catholick Conten
tion have continued their Sittings for three
Days past, but as no Perron but those imme
diately belonging to that Body are admitted,
their Proceedings are-riot made publick.
However, as far as hearsay can be credited,
it is but justice to report, that good Temper,
Moderation and Unanimity, have prevailed a
mong them.
The Accounts from England, brought by
the last Vessels, seem to leave us in Doubt
whether a Waris seriously meditated against
the Revolution of France and the Progress of
Liberty on the Continent, or whether their
Preparations and proceedings are secretly
meant to ftifle the rising Spirit of their own
People, and over-awe the Remonstrances of
Scotland and Ireland. Whichever may be their
Purpofd, and particularly if it should be the lat
ter, the Government ought not to be surpris
ed, if a new stimulus should be given to the
publick Uneasiness, and to the Demand of
Reforms in every Department where abuses
have equally excited sober Animadversion
and popular Clamour. In one particular the
Information is singularly Remarkable. The
only Mobs we are told of are on the Side of
Government, and are warring against their
own Rights and those Principles of political
Equality which constitute the best, and often
the only Property of a large Part of Society.
From this, as well as other
Circumstances, we may expe&
that Liberty will find more Ob
stacles to complete Triumph in
Britain than any where elle. Her
partial Enjoyment of if, and the
Pride inspired by comparitive
Prosperity, will have a strong
Tendency to keep her stationary
at her present Point of Mediocri
ty ; and it will not be wonderful
if the Nation which has hither
to been the Freest in Europe,
should, ere long, be the last to
yield to the Spirit of P a ~enera
tiort now pervading Europe, and
perhaps the Globe, and be be
low every other Nation in the
Scale of Liberty, Prosperity, and
true Greatness. Her Chains be
ing lighter she is the less anxious
to cast them off, or perhaps be
cause they are gilt over, she
may even hug and be vain of
them. The Chinese, who have
long been half civilized, is the
Nation, more than all others, op
posed to Illumination and Im
provement.

contain no late News of Importance—we have
endeavoured to extras the most material for
this Day's Repast——-The Editor was inform
ed, that the (BoJIon) Centinel was receiv

As this Paper generally contains something of
Importance, and as we wish to serve the Pub

ed the Loan of it : from which the following
is extracted —" The national Convention have
passed a Decree, which was ordered to be sent
to the several Generals of the Army, “ freely
declaring them revolutionary Power, by over
turning established Constitutions, and convok
ing primary Assemblies in every Country that
they should enter"—That in Consequence of
the Royalists beginning to show themselves
in Favour of Louis xvi. the Convention de
creed, that all the Members of the Families of
Bourbons and Capets (except the King, Queen,
and their Son, who are yet in the Temple) shall
quit the Department of Paris in 24 Hours, &
in 3 Days, the Territories of the Republick.
" That Louis xvi. was to receive his final
Judgment on the 26th December.
