The Cental, bowser, cannot but hope, by taking the
precaution of causing this publick notice of his intention to be
given to the army, the difa^recable consequences will be pre
vented which might otherwise have taken place ; for he is per-
Shaded, whoever will give bimfelf the trouble torrefied, will
find, that as great indulgences as are confident with the pub
lick good, and justice to individuals, are granted iu. the firft
instance. That, as a certain number of officers and men must
fee constantly kept in camp, every trefrafs' upon those indul
gencies, is an ad of injustice to the individual who is detained
. in consequence of it, and probably in the iifuc to the publick;
that the most pointed exadnefs is indifpenfibly requisite in all
military matters, events unknown, and frequently of the great
est magnitude; depending upon it; and that those men who
have attached themselves to the service of their country, should
ronfider that the publick has a constant claim upon their fer.
-lines, which can only be dispensed with under certain circum
flances, and for definitive periods, of which, those entrusted
with the regulation of the army mud be supposed to be the
most competent judges.
No officer or soldier is to be permitted to be absent on fur

The musters of the army arc with all possible expedition, to
be compleated to the sift day of December last inclusive ; after
which period they arc to be taken regularly at the end of every
month, and the rolls to be transmitted to the pay office with
out delav, agreeable to a resolution of Congress, of Septem
ber 1780. EDWARD HAND, Brigadier,

-ing a quotation from Sulf, refp:Sing peace and war ; the para
„guapbjlands unaccompanied by any other under tbe Philadelphia

intimated tbe arrived in Chefapeak of a frigate in a Jbort pffoge
from France, bat they would not then communicate mare intelli

Philadelphia, January 19. A political caution of that cele
brated Statesman and Soldier, the Duke de Sully, recommend
ed to the attention of the citizens of America. “ A necessary
peace cannot be too carneftly desired, nor concluded too soon ;
but in critical circuunftances, nothing ought to be more care
fully avoided, than keeping the people's minds in fufpence be
tween peace and war." Solly's Memoirs, Vol. J. Page 129.

To the PRINTER of the Freeman's Journal.
SIR,
IT is said great pains have been taken to prevail on you to
decline printing the intercepted letters under the signature of
Silas Deane, and probably with some success, as you have not
continued them. While it was doubtful whether they were
genuine or spurious, whether Mr. Deane had proved treacherous
or not, you might have properly helitated; but America will
row be more benefited by the detection of bad men and their
adherents, than she can be injured by any thing Silas Deane
can write. It is well enough known in this city, arid ought to
be so through all America, that Mr. Deane's former friends
and zealous supporters admit, that though these letters may
not be literally genuine, letters have been received from him
containing similar sentiments—such as evince his base desertion
of his firft principled, and the cause of his country, his ingra
titude to the French nation by which he had been so kindly
treated, his corruption by the Britilh government, and that
he is now in all reipe&s, asdic ever has been, the bosom friend
of Arnold. If there are no more of these letters to l>epub
lifhed, it is hoped some able pen will take up the fnbjea, and
draw some ufeful leflons for the people of America from the
condud'of and towards these two men ; and if any remains of
virtue ftllLexift among us, procure justice to those characters
who have been so materially injured by Mr. Deane and his
friends. This is a debt ot justice and honour which ought to
be paid, and is probably all the reparation which can be made
for the money embezzled, the animosity kindled, and thl dis
grace and fliame into which our publick councils were betrayed,
by a blind perverse attachment to a bad man—an attachment
which must have been the effect of interest and mutual corrup
tion or unaccountable infatuation. No real friend to his coun
try can look back to the journals of that day, but must wilh the
proceedings with refoe& to Mr. Deane for ever obliterated
from the annals of America. And nothing is more certain,
than that Congress have never recovered that Handing in the
confidence and esteem of the people, which they possessed be
fore.that period. I have no connection with either of the gentle
men who have fuffered by the injustice of Congress, and it is
probable that the falfe fhamc which often prevents individuals
from making reparation, will do so in the present instance. If
this should happen, it will add one more to the many proofs
we fee, that ingratitude for publick services, and injustice to
publick worth, are not confined to the European world.
CATO.
The PRINTER to CATO.
S IR,
YOU have ingenionfly wrapped up an unfriendly insinuati
on against me, in the exordium of your piece in the lalt num
ber of the Freeman's Journal. You appear to believe my re
solutions of impartiality had surrendered “ to the great pains,
" that had been taken to prevail on me to decline printing the'
<' intercepted letters under the fignarure of Silas Deane?'
For the information of you in particular, and the publick in
general, I shall give the true reason for difeontinuing the pub
lication of those letters. It is the following—There is such a
sameness of ideas through the whole of his letters, as renders,
them as tedious and inlipid, as they arc odious and deteftableL
By turning to those I have already published, you will find
such evidence of this, as will, I doubt not, lead you to be of
myopinion.
One or two gentlemen called, on the appearance of the se
cond letter, and told me they thought there could be no ad
vantage in publishing them, and fignified their desire that I
should desist; adding, at the fame time, that they were of a
trcafonable nature, &c. I, however, was of a different opi
nion, and continue? the publication of them, until I found
the dull repetition of sentiment and even expression grow dif
cufting; and that Deane's intentions were only to dilfeminate
nis favourite principles through the continent at the fame time.
But injustice to those gentlemen to whom Deane addressed
Lis letters, not one of them ever fignified to me the least de
sire of suppressing their republication..

THE welfare, the fafety of the state is concerned in the
conduct, honour, arid probity, of those entrusted to. hold the
firft offices of government ; and no matter, in which the pub
lick is interested, ought to be concealed. Tn a debate in the
House of Delegates, on the supply bill, a Delegate from Kent
County * observed, “ that the state might be assimilated to a
* General GadwaUader,
THE subscriber intending shortly to leave off business, de-
I fires that all persons indebted to him, either on his own account,
or on account of the. late company of LAMOTTE & Geter, to
make immediate paymens of their, refpcdlive debts. All those
which remain unpaid the 15th day of March next, will then be
put into an attorney's hands, to be sued for without diftinflion.

RUN away a few days ago, a likely negro boy, about
ten years of age, named Bob, had on when he went off, a
brown coloured, light infantry jacket, with a red cape, and a pair of

private -family of pffidence find economy, which always en
quire into its expences, bind the conduct of its servants. That
he had observed great abuses and waht iu the management of
the publick monies, but that the House of Delegates had been
bashful, and neglected to enquire into the conduct of publick
officers. He intimated great waste in the colle&ion of the
lift years affefiment, and said he believed it might amount
to 1000 I. He obfcrved that last fellion he had interned
the House of the mifcvndud of, and breach of trull, by
one in high office 1 ; but the House were bagful, and from some
cause or other, fuffered his information to pal's unnoticed. He
now asserted, that the perlon alluded to had been guilty of
fuLh'lliameful and infomcuscondu&, and of such great crimes,
that he deferred the Trioft exemplary punilhirtnt, and if true,
ought to be immediately banished the state." The warmth,
the zeal with which thh was delivered, aftoniihed the lioufe
and the byeftanders. Th^ gentlemen further observed, " 'I hat
he was ashamed and mortified to difeover, that instead of an
enquiry and punishment, the person had lately been appointed
to the most honourable and important trull in tbe state." As
foonas the gentleman-bad finished .4iis speech, a member rose
hud dCfirecl ne would mention she person to whem he alluded.
Upon which federal members called to order, and obfeived
that, the matter was foreign to the debate. Ihe Delegate from
Kent then observed, that he did not mean to interrupt the bu
firfefs before the. Houfe;that if he wasi # order or required,
he wouldsiame the person he meant to nccufe, but that he did
intend to make a formal charge against him,during the fcffion.
Upon this declaration the matter now remains.
From the eftaWifhed character of the Delegate of Kent Coun
ty, for his patriotifin, honour, and regard to veracity, it.can
not be quttiohed, but that he can produce full ano indubital Ie
proofe of the truth of hit allegations; arid 1 canriot but remark
that our representatives wiii ne guilty of a breach of their de
legated trust, if they pass ov. r the information; juftic^to the
publick, and justice to the individual, demands a publick in
veragation efthe charge. No art, no fubterfuge ought to screen
the culprit ; and if the laws arc incompetent to his crime, the
publick ought to rife as one man, and expel him the state.
