:I HE Baltimore draughts & substitutes,
arrived here this morning in good healths
spirits. On Friday last our light dragoons
took about 22 of the insurgents in Hagerf
town, and conduced them to the goal of tha
town ; 6neof the insurgents was tried and
condemned to die; but it is probable that
the arrival of the Governor will prevent the
execution of him. I was on Saturday last a
bom sixteen miles from this place, amongst
<fomeof the people they ra/Ziirfurgents—thofe
of the inhabitants that I saw were perfectly
quiet and happy, tilling their land, and ex
pressed a wish that all their neighbors would
do the fame."

" Mr. Long, of Reftone Old Fort, who
left that place the 20th inst. passed through
this place this morning with dispatches for?
Gov. Mifflin—he informed me that a very
large majority of the inhabitants 'of the four
weftern counties of Pennsylvania have affoci
ated to Support government ; that they have
% been obliged to d® it in a private manner in
Washington county, and that he is fatisfied
they will be able to support the civil author
ity in that county, without any assistance
from any other place; I also believe they
can, provided the insurgents are fatisfied
there is /an armed force preparing to march
against them, bur no longer.
"Our insurgents are prett, well fettled;
we have about to® of them in confinement,
besides a great number who are recognized
to appear at court, and Raad trial ; about 50
of those in confinement now have not been
examined yet for want of time; 1 suppose
most of them will be released, as the greatest
offenders have been firft examined. Several
characters are not admitted to bail."

FROM QUEBEC,
A gentleman who arrived from
Quebec since our last, informs, that
official accounts had been received
there of the defeat of the Indians, by
General Wayne'S army. ^,'7=
May not this have been an account of

ranks of peop'e in Canada were appre
hensive of a war with the U. States,
—That Gov. Simcoe, expeding to
be attacked, had written for reinforce

of the British troops at Quebec, had
marched for Montreal, to relieve
troops there who were destined for
Detroit.
Governour LsE, of Virginia, is ap
pointed to the chief command of the

We are happy lb tearn from New

putrid fever, only three of whom are
dangerous.

Tumults in Spain are arrived to a

the French Committee of Public

kingdoms, states, or empires are small

ranny and usurpation, monarchy and
