§ 2. Where the lands of a non-resident have been listed in an improper class, or twice listed and paid for, under the same claim, and satisfactory proof made thereof to the auditor, it shall be his duty to place such lands in their proper class, and where such non-resident hath paid into the treasury the taxes accruing on such land so improperly classed, or twice listed and paid for under the same claim, the auditor shall upon like proof, issue his warrant to such non-resident or his agent, for the amount so improperly paid, which shall be receivable by any sheriff in any future taxes due from the said non-resident, or from any other person.
§ 3. Where the lands of a non-resident have been listed in an improper class, and satisfactory proof made thereof as aforesaid to the auditor, and the taxes thereon have not been paid, it shall be the duty of the auditor after placing the said lands in their proper class, to settle with the said non-resident for the amount of the taxes due on said lands when so properly classed. And where any non-resident hath paid the tax for 1792 and for 1793 at two shillings per hundred acres, he shall be entitled to a credit on the settlement of any subsequent taxes with the auditor, for the difference agreeably to the class in which such land shall be classed, according to the revenue laws enacted posterior to said years.
§ 4. And be it further enacted , That all taxes for the year 1797, to be collected in the year 1798, agreeably to the said recited act, shall be reduced one third part, and the sheriffs and collectors of the public revenue, shall be governed accordingly: excepting the tax upon billiard tables, for each of which, there shall be paid annually the sum of twenty pounds, in lieu of the tax heretofore imposed on them, to be collected as other taxes.
§ 5. And be it further enacted , That every person keeping a billiard table, shall list the same with the clerk of his county, on the tenth day of March, if it be not Sunday, and in that case on the next day. And the clerk of every county within this state, shall, on or before the first day of July, in each year, transmit to the auditor of public accounts, and the sheriffs of his county, a list of the owners names, and number of all billiard tables so entered; and shall enter the same in some book of record in his office, and give a certificate thereof to the owner, which shall be deemed a licence; for all which service he shall receive the sum of three shillings, to be paid on entry by the owner. And every person who shall set up a billiard table after the tenth day of March in any year, shall before he shall suffer the same to be played upon or used, list the same with the clerk in manner aforesaid, and shall pay the same tax as if such billiard table had been entered and set up on the said tenth day of March in the same year, and the clerk of each county shall within four weeks after the entry of such billiard table, if it happen after the first day of July, transmit a list thereof as aforesaid to the sheriff of his county, and the auditor of public accounts; and the sheriff shall collect and account for every such table as aforesaid, for the full tax, until the tenth day of March next succeeding such entry; and the owner of a billiard table, who shall set up the same, and suffer it to be used or played on, without having entered the same agreeably to this act, shall forfeit and pay the sum of one hundred dollars for every such offence, to be recovered by motion, bill, plaint or information, by any person who
shall sue for the same, and in any court of record having cognizance of sums of like amount; one half to the informer, and the other half to be applied towards lessening the county levy, and accounted for by the sheriff as other levies are directed by law to be accounted for.

And provided always, That nothing in this act contained, shall be so construed as to change the nature of the defence, either in law or equity, that any defendant or defendants may have against an assignee or assignees, or the original assignor or assignors.
§ 2.

FUTYGHUR (E.I.) January 28, 1797 DREADFUL BATTLE.
Zemaun Shah had formed an army into seven divisions, endeavouring, by different roads, to surprise the rear of the Seicks, but, proving unsuccessful, had again united his forces. A most desperate battle was fought at Umrooster. It commenced at eight in the morning; when the Shah opened his shutar renauls or wall pieces, mounted on camels, against the Seicks, and both parties kept up a heavy fire with match locks till two o'clock. About this time the Seicks, finding they had made no impression on the enemy, gave the signal for a general charge; and agreeably to their mode in close combat, flung away their turbans, let loose their hair, put their beards in their mouths, and darted into the midst of the Abdallah army, sword in hand. The two armies continued thus engaged for four hours, when Zemaun's troops gave way, and were pursued to the very entrance of Lahore. THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND MEN WERE KILLED!!! 20,000 on the part of the Shah, and 15,000 of the Seicks.
CINCINNATI, March 10. By a boat which landed at this place yesterday morning, a gentleman received Philadelphia papers up to the 15th February, with which we have been favored, and from which we have extracted the following intelligence:
NEW-YORK, February 13. IMPORTANT AND SATISFACTORY.
By a gentleman of respectability, and of this City, arrived yesterday in 18 days from New-Orleans, we have the pleasing information that the Spanish Posts at the Natchez and other places within our Territory on the river Mississippi, had been at length given up to the American commissioner, and the troops under his direction.
By this happy accommodation of the differences which have subsisted, we
may expect the restoration of harmony in that quarter; and that the boundary lines will also be run and determined according to treaty, and alterations be thus also prevented.
[several other accounts are received corroborative of the above information.]
PHILADELPHIA, February 8.
Thomas Paine has published a letter to the people of France on the revolution of the 18th Fructidor—after an encomium on the present constitution he justifies the measures taken on the 18th by the directory, as indispensably necessary at that period, when a faction was ardently laboring to overturn the republic. He concludes, with some reflexions on the present state of England and France, and asserts that the latter, notwithstanding the navy of her enemy, must prove victorious at last.
NORFOLK, February 3.
On Thursday arrived in Hampton Roads the snow William, capt. Wells, 43 days from Lisbon bound to Baltimore. From Mr. Bramram, (a gentleman who came passenger in the above vessel) we have information that he read in a London paper of the 27th or 28th of November, an account of the arrival in London of one of the American commissioners from Paris, but which of them he does not recollect. He further informs, that he had it from the best authority that lord St. Vincent with his fleet and the whole of the British troops were to evacuate Lisbon in the course of a few weeks. The queen of Portugal had forwarded 80 pounds weight of Diamonds to Paris in part payment of the sum stipulated for in the treaty made between her and France.
February 6. At a late hour last night captain Colley, of the ship Flora, arrived in town from Hampton Roads, where his ship now lies, after a passage of 44 days from Guernsey. Captain Colley politely handed us London papers of the 11th, 15th and 19th of December; he gave a few to some of the officers of the British ships of war lying in the roads. From those we received we hasten to give the following crude summary of late European news.
That general Buonaparte and Joubert had arrived on the 6th of Dec. at Paris; that a great part of the army of Italy had returned into France—that a new conspiracy has taken place in Paris; and that a number of the conspirators were committed to the temple prison; that the Pope refuses to acknowledge the independence of the Cisalpine republic, in consequence of which 10,000 republicans are marching towards Rimini, to support the demand of the Cisalpine ambassador; that every exertion is making in France to organize the army which is to act against England.—It is also said at Paris, that the Pope has entered into a secret treaty with the emperor of Russia; that the king of Prussia is dead—and that in consequence of the ratification of the treaty between Portugal and France, the English troops at Lisbon are reduced to extreme want—Earl St. Vincent still continues off the harbour of Lisbon.
Of our commissioners, we have no other account, than what we received by a vessel from Havre, which had put into Guernsey, in distress, prior to captain Colley's sailing which informed that there were three commissioners appointed on the part of the French republic to treat with ours—and that matters would be amicably adjusted.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SONG of a Brother TYPO.
THOUGH riches circulate at will, By coining and by minting; The printing art is nobler still— Truth circulates by Printing.
Since truth is TRUTH, as all allow, It cannot suffer tinting— Perfidious Error rears her brow When Tyrants limit Printing.
Since Freedom's felt sometimes runs mad, The thought is well worth hinting— Let useful hints be modest clad, And then go on with Printing.
But Vice, you'll say, with hideous leer At Virtue will be squinting: Well, if vice squints and looks so queer, We'll mend her light with Printing.
ANECDOOTE.
THE FORCE OF PREJUDICE.
When prejudice is once established, In vain does reason re-assert her rights. Few people can judge for themselves; no wonder then that names have in- all ages, made more impression than things.
When the Fables of La Motte appear- ed, it was fashionable in France to de- spise them. One evening, at an enter- tainment given by the Prince de Ven- dome, several of the first critics of the kingdom made themselves exceedingly merry at the expence of the author. Voltaire happened to be present:— "Gentlemen, said he, I perfectly a- gree with you.—What a difference is there between the title of La Motte, & the title of La Fontaine!—Have you seen the new edition of the latter?" The company unanimously answer- ed in the negative.—"Then you have not read that beautiful Fable of his which was found among the papers of the Duchess of Bouillon!—He ac- cordingly repeated it to them. Eve- ry one present was charmed, trans- ported with it.—"Here," said they, "is the true Spirit of La Fontaine— Here is nature in her simplicity.— What naivete, what grace!" "Gen- tlemen, resumed Voltaire, you will find this Fable among those of La Motte." "Repeat it once more," replied they.—He did repeat it; and every beauty vanished—The Fable was wretched.
The Wonderful Liqueur.
The Chinese are weak enough to imagine, that there are certain per- sons among them who are possessed of the secret of preparing a liquor, which will make the person who drinks it live for ever; and whenever any of their friends die, who drank of this liquor, they think there was some- thing wanting in the composition, which every succeeding pector hopes he has discovered. One of their em- perors was confident he had purchased the immortal draught. He had a cup of this liquor of life before him, and was declaiming on the virtues and ex- cellency of it, but while he turned his back, a favorite had the assurance to drink off part of it: whereupon the em- peror, in a rage threatened him with immediate death: to which the fagaci- ous minister calmly replied, do you sup- pose you can deprive me of life, now I have drank of the immortal cup? If you can, what have you lost? If you cannot, I am become equally immortal with you. And, by this short way of reasoning, this wite favourite brought the whimsical emperor to his senses, when all other arguments seemed to be thrown away upon him.

The object proposed to be carried into effect by the assistance of this Lottery, is so laudable, and its utility so very obvious, that little doubt can be entertained of success in the sale of tick- ets; consequently it is expected the time of drawing will not be very remote.
