the effects of war.
DEPOP ’LATE now, the rural tillage
(lands :
The aged fire hears not the ev’ning song,
Nor views with joy the dance upon the
green.
The widow’d matron with her helpleis
babes*
Meets not her husband from the toilful
plough,
Nor the lov’d maid her (hepherd frow the
hill.
No more's o’erturn’d the now defected
glebe
No more the harvest waves on every field ;
Nor joyful reapers tafie convivial mirth :
Silent is now the once delightful feene,
hall.
Screams fad and pen five to the midnight
air.
Such feenes as these have but too often
ftain’d
The boasted arms of Ferfia, Greece and
The way-loft trav’ler finds no generous
aid.
Nor fees with joy the grateful free of man.
The beasts of prey roam through the path
left grass,
And the night raven* from the mound’ring
Rome :■
As when proud Xerxes pour’d his millions
forth.
To fp re ad definition o’er iiluftrious Greece;
Or when the Macedonian hero led,
Accrofs the Hellespont, his barb’rous host,
And drench’d with blood the Asiatic plains:
Or when the far fam’d Scipio overthrew
The illuftr’ous Hannibal on Afric’s sands.
When he, by means ungen’rous, and unjust,
Triumph’d o’er the already conquer’d foe.
And raz’d iiffated Carthage to the ground,
Or when the fame oppreiTors of the world
Extended (ar and wide their proud domain ;
By fraud or force, bound nations in their
chains,
Made kings to tremble on their tottering
thrones,
Or meanly bow ’neath their imperiousfway.
WHEREAS Tiom a hope,
that combinations against
the Constitution and Laws of the
United States in certain of the
Weftern Counties of Pennsylvania
would yeald to time and reflection,
1 thought it fufficient, in the firft
instance, rather to take measures
for calling forth the militia, than
immediately to embody them
but the moment is now come,
when the overtures of forgivnefs

fubmffiion to law, have been only

A PROCLAMATION.
Now Therefore I GEORGE
WASHING TON,President of
the United States,in obedience
to that high and irresistible duty
consigned to me by the Constitu
tion to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed deploring
that the American name should be
sullied by the outrages of citizens
on their own government ;—com
miferating such as remain obsti
nate from delusion j but tefolvcd
in perfeft reliance on that graciots
providence which so signally dil
plays its goodness tdwards this
country, to reduce the refradory
to a due subordination to the law ;
do hereby declare and make
known, th it with a fatisL&on,
which can be equalled only by
the merits- of the militia, summon
ed into service from the States of
New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia, I have receiv
ed intelligence of their patriotic
alacrity, in obeying the call of the
prelent, though painful, yet com
manding necessity; that a force,
which according toevery reasonable
expectation is adequate to the exi
gency, is already in motion to the
icehe of difaffedion ; that those
who have confided, or (hall confide
in the proteftidn of government,
(ball meet full fuccour under the
standard, and from the arms of the
United States ; that those who
having offended against ths law
have since in tit led themselves to
indemnity, will he treated with the
most liberal good faith, if they
(hall nor hJve forfeited their claim
* by any subsequent conduct; and
that inftrudions are given accord
ingly.
And I do moreover exhort all
* individuals, officers; and bodies
of men, to contemplate, with ab
horrence, the measures leading
directly or indirectly to thole crimes
< which produce this retort to mili
tary coercion; to check, in their
refpeChve fpherrs the efforts of
mi%uided or defignmg men, to
fubfiicut© their mifreprefentacions
in the place of truth, and . their
difeontents in the place of liable
government; and co call-co mind,
chac as rhe people of the United
- States have been permitted under
: the divine favor, in perfeCt free
* dom, and after fotemn deliberation,
and in an enlightened age, co eleCl
their own government, so will their
gratitude for this inestimable bles
sing be belt diftinguiffied by firm
> exertions to maintain the constitu
tion and' the laws.
And, kftly, F again warn all
. perfbns wholnlbever, not to abet
aid’dr tottiforc the infurg^htis a
forefaid, as they will aniwer the
contrary at their peril; and f do
also require all officers and qcher
" citizens, according to their several
duties, as tar as may be in their
power, to- bring under the cogni -
zance of the hw all offenders in
the premises.

WARSAW, June 9.
THE Ruffians have burnt down 22
villages in the neighbourhood of
Senaomir.
Letters from Dari'zic mention, that all
the heavy cannon have been drawn ou: of
the ar fen al.
The National Cojncil has determined
to place the Government cf this citv on
the i’aiiic footing it was at the time of the
Revolution ot May 3, 1791* The fame is
co beeftabiitried in all the pther towns.—
All the ether inhabitants in Lichunia have
tak- n the oath of allegiance, and acknowl
edged, Kulciufeo as the Chici of the Na
tion.
The greaieft dilligenee is used in mak
ing cannon. For this purpose the bells
have been taken from the towers of the
churches and sent to the faundary. The
Lutherans have made a prelent to the
nation ot the bells belonging to their beau
tiful church.
The people are more diligently employed
than ever in ftrengtbenirig the fortification:.
A f wdays since the gentlem^n’a servants,
to the number of 1000, went in procession
with their spades and (hovels, to give their
assistance. The fame fort of procession of
womem has been seen accompanied with
music. The last procession had a white
flag carried before it, and it was a very cu
rious light to (ee the women with their
spades and (hovels.
People are not without their apprehensi
ons that these fortifications wifi not in the
end protect os : but that cur town will b;
surrounded by the Ruffians and ('ruffians,
who are marching in very great force to
wards Poland ft is said, that our revolu
tion hase jufed these two courts to enter in
to a closer connexion with each other.
There is a very great demand for iron
throoghou-; Polai d, ard it is said that 150,
000 pikes have been lately made.
Talk of peace ! k will be to ar
rest the progress of vidoryy con
geal’ the ardour of republicans,
and ruin our country-Offer peace
to dav, and ro-morrow you will
be attacked with new vigour.
It is necessary that our enemies
ffiould be destroyed-^-I have al

return to the charge. This cam

as Ihall be co our enemies a war
