The Pudburgh paper of De
cember 6, contains a letter from a
Frenchman, captain of a company^
of the Galliopolis militia, to Gov
ernor Lee, highly expressive of
his attachment and difpofirinn.—
After informing that he had heard
s that David Bradford* of Waffiing-,
ton,*was going down the river in
a small canoe, he describes the
manner in which he lent three men '
and a fubalietn to overtake him;
which thty did, 30 miles below
Big Scioto, where he fpuud prot
■ ae&bn, and'fo many friends that
they could get no one to aid in
taking him alive*. and it is “ a
matter of great chance,” fays he,
1 “if he can b 6 killed without fatal.
? confequence.”' He f^ys^ Captain
Jolly communicated to me the
orders rffued by your Excellency
to take Bradford, or to kill him
rather than tofuffer him to efeape;
he sent Jolly, &c. but his under
taking proved unfuccelsful. :;
The Governor’s answer to this
letter expreflfes his concern at the;
ite-fuccefs, his reasons why be is
concerned,viz. least he should ftiU
excite tumults, and hoped hsAwill
still be taken, but not killed^' or J
even treated with onneceffaryi se
verity or cruelty.” &c. J
This paper also contains aier-,
tificate of Mr. Chief Just ice M”
Kean, that Edward Cook,of Fay
ette county,had voluntarily enter-1
ed into a cognizance, of himfelf
in 3000 dollars, and one surety of
15000 for his personal appearance
before the judges of the supreme -
court of rhe United States,at their
next special circuit court in pen
fylvama—'bolding “himfelf liable ‘
(fays Mr. Cook for himlW7Ho ah-^
iwer any thing that-may bealleds
-against him no^wichftanding

contrary.” ,
