They have brought letters to Citizen
Genet, as late as the 25th of July which
contain new proofs of the esteem of the
French nation for that Minister.
His firft report which contains the most
agreeable information upon the brotherly
reception made him, particularly by the
American citizens, and which makes such
a striking contratt with the ariitocratic be
haviour of Mr. Morris, the American
Minister at Paris, spread universal joy,
and gave the grcat:ft hope for the luccefs
of his negociation, though he confefled in
his report, that he had a strong and cun-

lelvcs openly, but who in time would

THE associated Pastors of the Church

On Thursday last the Rev. John C.

way to Newburyport, with the address of
the Convention of the Church in Vermont,
to the Rev. Dodor Edward Bass,
whereby he is requeued to accept their
unanimous appointment of him, to the
office of BiShop of that State.
The above Convention met at Fawlet.
ihe iß:h Sept, last, and is very refpedable
for numbers, as well as for the abilities
and rank of its members.
The Church in Vermont is faft rising to
refpedability—more than twenty organi

At opening of the late Convention, the
Rev. Mr. Ogden celebrated divine ser
vice, and preached a sermon from Psalm
137 —sth and 6th ver. a copy of which
is lorn expected from the Press.

INDIAN NEWS.

Extract of a letter from a correlpondent
of veracity, to the Editor hereof, dated
German-Creek, Territory South of
the Ohio, Aug. 16, 1793.
'' On the 4th inst. Colonel Daugherty,
cf Jefterfon county, with 180 men, cros
sed the I ennefce to the Valley indian
Towns, killed line fellows and two fquaws>
took and brought in seven prisoners, burnt
twenty towns and villages, and destroyed
avast quantity of vegetables. The whites
had five men wounded ! !—
On the Ift inst the Indians Hole a num
ber of horses belonging to the Quarter-
Mafler at Fort-Hamilton ; they were pur
sued by a party of dragoons anti rifle-men,
to the didance of about 40 miles, where
the Indians appeared in such force, that
the pursuers thought prudent to decline
coming to adion. The Indians being in
such force near the out-posts, is an argu
ment that the treaty has failed, and of
cou.-fe the army will very ihcrtly receive
marching orders.
