There is a report in circulation that David Brad

delivered up to our government—fhould this be the
cafe there is tome profpect that the liv-s of thole
unfortunate men may be# fayed—for, we prefum^
that if Bradford, or any other, could be brought for
ward at the next circuit court in October, and con
victed of being more active in the lute infurrection,
the Prefident might be induced to grant a pardon to
Mitchel and Vegol, as they cannot he conlidered

Extra3 of a letter from a gentletnun in Philadelphia, to
his friend in this place, June 16.
The new minifter nt the f rench Republic has
arrived. He brings certain information of Peace be
tween France and Prulsia, Spain, Portugal and Sar
dinia; and further fays that negociations with the
Emperor are far advanced. The French are about
to adopt the Conftitution of the United States,
with this alteration, that, inl’tead ol a Prefident,
they are to have an Executive Council of four or
five. Their averfion to whatever has the appear
4|ince of Monarchy, may account for this change;
which, Ifear, will not be found, in practice, to be
an amendment." -

From the Telegraphe, of the fame date.
By a gentleman in Tnelday evening's (rage, we
have a verbal account of the lenate on debating the
ii-h ?.::icle of Mr. Jay’s late negotiations, finding
it run fo much againft the commercial intereft of
this country, that they ordered it ro be re-commit
ted for a revifion ; and it is generally thought the
whole of his treaty with Great-Britain will be*
thrown aflde.
From the Gazette of the United States, of
June 26.
Since yefterday we learn, that the Treaty be
tween Great-Britain and ilje United Stares, was ra
tified by the Senate, on condition, that an Article
be added to faid treaty, fu{pending the operation of
fr much of the 12th Article thereof as relates to
Trade and inrercourfe with the Britifh Jflands in
the Weft Indies. And the Senate recommended
that in the mean time further negoci* tions be enter
ed into with his Britannic Majrfty reflecting a fu
ture arrangement of faid Trade.
’•'V The Senate of the United States adjourned this
day.
The fubfranoc of the 12th article of the Treatv
is, that the United States may export to the B11
tilh Jfl mds, the produce of the States in vefsels not
exceeding leventy tons burthen—and that they may
import therefrom, in vefsels of the fame burthen, in
to the States, the produce ot the ill mds — but the
United States are prohibited from exporting to Eu
rope, from the faid States, Sugar, CcfFce, Cotton,
and Cocoa, the produce of any of the Weft-India
iflands.
Ex trail of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated
the 1 $th ult.
“ The treaty has been under difeufsion during the
laft week, the members of the Senate having by a
vote of 20 to 9, been laid under an injunction of le
crecy, I am not at liberty to inform you of the terms
of the treaty, but from the compleciion of this vote,
/fear it will be ratified. Thus much I foppofe I
cannot he retrained from faying, and may i'erve as
a clue to my opinion of it.
A new French ininilier arrived the day before
yefcerday, who fuperledts Mr. Fouchet ; his name
is Adet, and is faid to bring very friendly and ta
vourable overtuics, on which to bottom the Treaty
between the two countries. I hope I may he wrong
in certain fulpicions i feel, that they will be but
coldly received.
The French have certainly concluded a treaty of
peace with Prulsia, which is fofpcctcd to contain a
l’ecret article to unite in the conqueft of Hanover
for the King of Prufsia. A treaty is in the courfe
of negociation between France and Spain ; and it is
believed that the Emperor, as loon a'' he receives
the 6 millions loan from England; wilt withdraw
from the combination, and leave our old maker to
fight it oug the belt way he can.**
Monday la ft, 20 chiefs and warriors of the Creek
nation of Indians, with an interpreter, arrived at
Baltimore, on their way to Philadelphia.
The 231 h ult.the dwelling-houfc, bake houfe, &c.

GENERAL ORDERS.
THE term having expired, for which the troops
late of this garrifon were engaged, and of conle- j
quence difbi tided by inftruciions from the honora
hie the Secretary at War, the General thinks it no
longer necefsary ro continue the four battalions of
militia, which from motives truly patriotic, em
bodied themfelves in the lour counties of Wath
ington, Weftmoreland, Fayette, and Allegheny,
lor the prefervation of order and good government ;
he, therefore, with the deepefi fenfe of their gene
rous arid well directed zeal for the public good,
returns them his fincere thanks, and directs that
they return to their refpective regiments from
which they were originally taken, hoping, that in
all future occalions they will feel the lame difpofi
tion to attend the calls of their country which has
fo itrongly characceriled them on the pair.
The General has in requeft from the Prelident
to exprcl's his thanks to the olficers.and foldiers of
the late militia army, who fo cheerfully joinrri the
ftandard of the United States from a principle fo
truly laudable and patriotic.
To the INHABITANTS of the four western
counties of Pennfylvania.
F f. l low Crr i /. e n s,
HAVING obeyed the call of my country in tak
ing the command of the patriotic militia army,
ftationed in this country for the lupport of the laws •
and happy to find my continuance amongft vou to
be no longer necefsary for that purpofe, 1 feel my
felf conftrained, before i return ro the enjoyments
of domefric life, to addrefs you in this public
manner; and the more fo, as your profperity and
welfare highly intereft me. A delire of being in
ftrumental in reftoring peace and good order to
this part of the community, impelled me to accepc
a command in the militia on the late expedition ;
and the lame principle induced me to remain with
the troops on the Monongahel i. To effect the de
fign for which we were (rationed in this quarter, 1
flatter my (elf 1 have not intentionally neglected
adopting every meafure which prudence might di
rect: the.object to be obtained was important;
and 1 am happy to obferve, that I experienced the
co-operation of tltofe who embodied themfelves for
the fupport of the laws. .
That an army ihould he necefsary to enforce tub- |
mifsion to the laws in any part of this country, j
where laws are framed by the people, is a ful-ject '
of melancholy reflection; it lias a tendency to tar- |
nilh our character as republicans, and to lefsen us
in the efutna! ion of fur rounding nations. The go
vernment of America has hitherto teen the admira
tion of the world; donor, my fellow-citizens, by J
an unconi'titutionai oppofition to its mealtms, en
danger its exiftence, or detract from its merit._
You have a national as* well as an individual ilia
racter to fupport, arcd duty oblige* yoa to prefer-c
both.—Preterite sour reputation as a branch of the
Federal Uniou by paying a due refpect to it.n laws,
and by cheerfully contributing to its fupport. As
one great inducement i.» this end, conlidrr, that
law in this country is not an arbitrary act, but the
will of the majority, and that this will, if we wilh
to preferve a regular government, mult be the go
verning principle. Is it not infinitely better to ac
quit fee in the meaiures of government, though
l'omc of them may bear a little hard upon n$, than
by oppoiing them difcover a difpofnion deftructive
of all government ?
Minywbo are enemies of government but who
call themi'elves the friends of the people, will at
tempt to impofe their opinions upon you, and there
by endeavor to excite hi Icon tent and infurrection—
Patriotilm is ever in their mouths, whillt the fpi
rit of incendiary actuates their hearts. As you
value dom-lcic peace or public tranquility liften
not to their fpacious declamation. From experi
ence learn wikiom, place no confidence in them—
they will lead you to deftruction, mid in the time of
trouble they twillforfait you.
You, my fellow citizens, muft alfo be fenfible
how valuable the blefsings ol peace and good go
vernment are to individuals as well as to focieiy.
To procure them no endeavours Jhould be wanting
—The advantages retailing from them will amply
compenfate for the trouble of acquiring them — how
pleafing the reflection, that by a conduct worthy of
us as men arid chriftians our common country en
joys peace and profperity ; and that each man lives
undiitnrbed under his own vine and fig rrte. Should
my refidence among you have contributed in the
(tnalieft degree to this delirable end, it will be a
iource of lVlf congratulation, and (hall be ever con
fid- r"d as amoDgit the happielt events of my life.
With a heart iirongly interefted for your wel
fare, I now. my fellow citizens hid ton farewell,
recommending you to tin* direction of an Alhvife
Providence who ruieth the nations according ro
his pleafure.
