came out with an intention of killing
and dealing, or being killed ; that he
had killed the man tor which he had
been tried ; and that it had been hit
misfortune to fall into ths hands of
the whites ; but that he should have
escaped them if it had.not been for
the Cherokees ; and that if he was
now put to death, there was plenty of
his nation remaining to revenge his
death. The judge then proceeded to
pronounce sentence of death in the
usual form.•
In consequence of the abpve.fen

newyork, avg. 27. We are informed
Ihaf the Hon. James Ross, senator of the
United States, was present atthe late meet
ing of the people at Parkinson's ferry ; that
Mr. Ross made an address to them in which
he represented the impropriety, and danger
ous consequences of the late procedings in
the weftern counties, and advised them
to peace and good order. We hear that he
..was heard with decency and refpe&, but are
sorry to be oDliged to add,that the harrangue
of an orator ofa very different defcriptioa was
ihouted with applause.
The iotrufion of the French in the
Genoefe port of Juan, of which the
Hamburg papers lately received, give
an account, and in consequence of
which the English on the part of the
allies, have demanded of the govern
ment of Genoa, immediate declaration
of war against France, under penalty
of being coofidered as enemies, will
probably in the event make up for the
failure of their plan of relieving Cor
sica. The "Genoefe at the period of
that event, independent of their gen
eral good will to the French cause,
evinced in several instances during the
war, will find another strong argu
ment for siding with the French, it
fide they must, in their situation as to
the French forces. The southern ar
my against Sardinia is at their doors,
and a fqaadron of 10,000 troops in
one of their ports. The accession of
Genoa, to the league against tyranny,
will be particularly advantageous to
the French, as it Will give them a
firm footing not far from the centre
of the most populous portion of the
King of Sardinia's dominions.
Salem, sept. 2. The fcled men
of this town have agreeably toauthor
ity vested in them, executed a deed
of cession to the United States, of
land neceffiry for the erection of for
tificarions for the defence of the port
and harbour.
Last week, at a legal and very full.
meeting of the inhabitants of Marble
head, it was unanimoully voted, to
make a cession to the United States
of land for building fortifications for
the defence Os that port ; and the fe
le& men were authorized to execute
a deed, in pursuance of this particular
vote.,
The town of Gloucester has also
passed a similar vote, for the like pub
lic spirited purpose.
' FROM EUROPE.
A vessel arrived at Marblehead, on
Sunday, from Halifax. It it said
was dispatched, in consequence of the
arrival of a packet from England, for
Capt. Lewis, matter of the American
Indi9man lately carried in there and
condemned, to come and resume the
charge of her for the original owners.
It is reported that the above packet
brings account very favourable to the
continuance of peace to this country
—that restitution of our property will
be made—that commissioners are ap
pointed to fettle all mifunderftandin,
refpe&ing the treaty of peace ; and
that the British governments engfe
cd go negotiate the random of th; A
merican prisoners at Algiers. We
fincetely with these flattering reports
may be verified.
IDifpatchei were immediately sent
off to Philadelphia.
Capt. Murphy, from Petersburg,
on the 20th July, off Fair Island, fell
in with a French fqoadron bound on
a cruiife into the North Sea,confiAicg
of five frigates and two (loops of war.
One of them boarded Cap:. Murphy,
but did not detain him ten minutes.
They informed him, that Oftend and
Bruges were taken by the French, the
latter part of June, without firing a
gyn ; and that neither place was d^
ftroyed, as has been reported of the
latter!— This squadron will probably
make a great crude, as there was no
Bricifh ship of force in the Baltic, qud
Capt. Murphy left too fail of Eng
lishmen at Petetfbarg, many oi them
about failing —besides what were at
other pares in the Biltic.CCapi. Mur
phy failed from Elfiaore with a large
English fleet, having only one frigate
for a convoy, the whole of which
must have fallen into the power of this
(quadron, had the latter been a few
days earlier. The fleet, however, are
supposed to have all fafe arrived.
boston, sept. 3. For the news
from Halifax, fee Salem head.—We
believe that the Packet has arrived at
Halifax, and that Mr. Jay's mission
it likely to be attended with complete
success, and moreover that he will be
the principal mediator of a peace be
tween the belligerent powers.
AUTHENTIC.
Extraa of a letter from one of the Englifo ifand;
in the inflindies, dated the ®b July lad.
" Every moleftarion to the Amer
ican commerce with these &nds, is
effeaually done away ; & every pos
sible protection is given to American
vessels, by the men of war, and the
revenue officers. They ire allowed to
import flour of all kinds, bread, rice, .
corn, live stock, and lumber of every
kind ; but no kind of fait provifiom,
or filh. But when a vessel arrived &
part of her cargo cor, lifts of these ar
ticles, it is allowed to be entered for
exportation in the fame vessel ; and
to be landed for that purpose, with:
out any additional expense, or difficul
ty. This is a general rule throughout
the English islands."
CitizenV. Hughes, Commissioner
deputed by the National Convention
of France, to the Windward Elaodi,
has published an address to the Re
publican forces at Guadeloupe, in
which he extols their bravery, perse
verance, and most of all their human
ity : While ,on the other hand he de
nounces the English Commanders,
(the "Javage Jervis" and hypocritical
Grey") as guilty of every species of
violation. After describing the forces
of the British to be 6 ships of the line,
12 frigates; and 8 (loops of war, with
12 batallions of troops, the commis
sioner firs, that these have been beat
en, by one Repulican battalion, two
frigates, and 3 transports,; and that
while many of the British aristocrats
have been made to bite the dust, not
a single republican, during a combat
of 40 days, has been made prisoner.
We learn that Gov. Patterson, of
Newjerfe,, has offered his service to
the President of the United States, to
command the troops defined to quell
the Pittfburg insurgents. Governor
Lee, of Virginia, has given public
thanks to the officers and soldiers of
that state, for the alacrity they have
used in executing his Orders for the
levy for the like purpose. Gen. Mor
gan is to command the Virginians.
The diOrift court of Southcaroli
na dittrid, has adjudged, that the
prizes brought in there by the Amer
ican French privateers, are illegal.—
In, confcquence of which, the brig
Vrow Christiana Magdalena, carried
in there, has been restored, vessel and
cargo..

From the Dartmouth EAGLE.
WE cordially congratulate learning and ge
nius, upon the grant of the Massachusetts le
,giflature of a lottery for the laudable purpose
of building another College at Cambridge.
They have pofcively been rather crowded for
Tome years at the University, and have been
frequently advised by the donors, to retire for
fix months, to Grcton, Amherst, or some o
ther rural situation, left the air of their studies
should become tainted and breed the plague.
They will now expatiate in ampler cells, and
should they wish ro relax from thefatigues of
science, or to have their health restored,
which perhaps has been impaired by •he /r,
atmofpbrt of the Cha,l, they can easily enter
Boston by the new bridge, & gain their pur
pose, at the theatre and at Copt-Hill. The le
gislature, however, Should hart advanced
more boldly into this business. They Should
procure a president, profeffors, and tutors by
lottery. This plan would render no small ser
vice to the republic of letters, as chauce might
then eff^a what corporation attempt in vain.

PICHEGRU, commander in chief of the army of
tbe North; to tbe commitles of Public Safety.
Brielen, near Ypres, June 18. . -
Ypres has capitulated after the most obsti
nate resistance. Your colleague, Richard, has
transmitted to you the details by which you
will perceive fiat the garrison are prisoners of
war, and that the place is delivered up to the
Republic in the state in which it was the pe
riod of its surrender. All who were employed
in the siege, strove who fhotrld diftingrifli
themselves most. The fourth batallion of the
north, impatient to fee the effe# expeded to
be produced by a battery of fix 24 pounders,
dragged the guns to the place intended,.un
der a heavy Blower of grape (hot, for the space
ot r;o toifes. The army of observation, un
der the command of Gen. Souham, fruftrat
ed the attempts which were repeatedly made
by Gen. Clairfaif, to fuccour the place. Dur
ing the short continuance of the siege, there
were three battles ; thrice victory remained
on bur fide, and thrice the troops of the* Re
public performed prodigies of valour ; par
ticularly in the last action, Which wab the
most warmly Supported, because the troops
of CUirfayt proportioned their exertions ta
