General LEE'S QUERIES.
On the Publication of which, Mr. GODDARD, the Printer of them, was ordered to be tarred and feathered, one Mr. WILSON really suffered that Punishment; Mr. GODDARD escaped from the Carts, by acknowledging Gen. LEE to be the Author of them.
From the Maryland Journal, July 6.
General LEE'S QUERIES Political and Military, humbly offered to the Consideration of the Public.
I. WHETHER George the First did not, on his accession to the Throne of Great Britain, by making himself King of a party, instead of the whole nation, sow the seeds not only of the subversion of the liberties of the People, but of the ruin of the whole empire?
II. Whether, by proscribing that class of men, to which his ministry were pleased to give the appellation of Tories, he did not in the end, make them not only real Tories, but even Jacobites?
III. Whether the consequence of this discrimination, now became real, was not two rebellions—and whether the first of these rebellions, although defeated, were not soennial Parliaments, a large standing army, an enormous additional weight and pecuniary influence thrown into the scale of the Crown, which in a few years have borne down not only the substance, but almost the form of liberty, all sense of patriotism, the morals of the people, and, in the end, overturned the mighty fabric of the British Empire?
IV. Whether the present men in power, in this state, do not tread exactly in the steps of this pernicious Ministry, by proscribing and disfranchising so large a proportion of citizens as these men whom they had it their interest to brand with the denomination of Tories?
V. Whether liberty, to be durable, should not be constructed on as broad a basis as possible? and whether the same causes, in all ages, and in all countries, do not produce the same effects?
VI. Whether it is not natural, and even justifiable, for that class of people (let the pretext be ever so plausible) who have been stripped of their rights as men, by the hard hand of power, to wish for and endeavour to bring about, by any means whatever, a revolution in that state, which they cannot but consider as an usurpation and tyranny?
VII. Whether a subject of Morocco is not (when we consider human nature) a happier mortal than a disfranchised citizen of Pennsylvania, as the former has the comfort of seeing all about him in the same predicament with himself; the latter, the misery of being a slave in the specious bosom of Liberty, the former drinks the cup, but the latter alone can taste the bitterness of it?
VIII. Whether an enlightened member of a French parliament is not a thousand times more wretched than a Russian City or Peasant—as to the former, the chains, from his sensibility, must be extremely galling; and on
the latter, they sit as easy as the skin on his back?
IX. Whether it is salutary or dangerous, consistent with, or abhorrent from, the principles and spirit of Liberty and Republicanism, to inculcate and encourage in the people an idea, that their welfare, safety, and glory depend on one man? Whether they really do depend on one Man?
X. Whether, amongst the late warm, or rather loyal address, in this city, to his Excellency General Washington, there was a single mortal, one gentleman excepted, who could possibly be acquainted with his merits?
XI. Whether, this gentleman excepted, does really think his Excellency a great man, or whether evidences could not be produced of his sentiments being quite the reverse?
XII. Whether the armies under Gates and Arnold, and the detachment under Stark, to the Northward, or that immediately under his Excellency, in Pennsylvania, gave the decisive turn to the fortune of war?
XIII. Whether, therefore, when Admiral Gerard, and Don Juan de Miralles, sent over to their respective courts the picture of his Excellency Gen. Washington at so length described by Mr. Peale, there would have been any not in a city in sending over, at the same time, at least a couple of little heads of Gates and Arnold, by M. de Simintare.
XIV. On what principle was it that the Congress, in the year 1776, sent for General Lee quite from Georgia, with injunctions to join the army under General Washington, then on York Island, without loss of time?
XV. Whether the Congress had reason to be satisfied or dissatisfied with this recall of General Lee, from what subsequently happened on York Island, and at the White Plains?
XVI. Whether Fort Washington was or was not tenable? Whether there was barracks, casemates, fuel, or water, within the body of the place? Whether, in the outworks, the defences were in any decent order? And whether there were even platforms for the guns?
XVII. Whether, if it had been tenable, it could have answered any one single purpose? Did it ever, did it protect a valuable country? Did it prevent the enemy's ships from passing and repassing with impunity?
XVIII. Whether, when General Howe manifestly gave over all thoughts of attacking General Washington, in the last strong position in the rear of the White Plains, and lay fall back towards York Island, orders should not have been immediately dispatched for the total evacuation of Fort Washington, and for the general removal of all the stores of value from Fort Lee, to some secure spot, more removed from the river?—Whether this was not proposed, his and the proposal slighted?
XIX. Whether the loss of the garrison true to Fort Washington, and its consequent loss as well as Fort Lee, with the tents, stores, &c. had not such an effect on the spirits of the people, as to make the difference of twenty thousand men, to America?
XX. Whether, in the defeat of Brandywine, General Sullivan was really the man who ought to have been considered, which was not in our opinion, spirit.

Whether, if Duke Ferdinand had landed at German-town, after having gained, by the value of his troops, and the negligence of his enemy, a partial victory, he would have contrived, by a single stroke of the Bathos to have corrupted this partial victory into a desert?
XXII. Whether our position at Valley-Forge, was not such, that if General Howe, or afterwards General Clinton, had been well informed of its circumstances, defects, and vice, they might not, at the head of ten, or even of eight thousand men, have reduced the American army to the same fatal necessity as the Americans did General Burgoyne?
XXIII. Whether the trials of Gen. St. Clair, of which Court Martial General Lincoln was President, and that on General Lee, were conducted in the same forms, and on the same principles?—Whether, in the former, all hearsay evidences were not absolutely rejected; and, in the latter, hearsay evidence did not constitute a considerable part?
XXIV. Whether, if the Generals Schuyler and St. Clair, had been tried by the same Court Martial as General Lee was, and, instead of Congress, General Washington had been the prosecutor, these Gentlemen (unexceptionable as their conduct was) would not have stood a very ugly charge of being condemned? And whether, if instead of General Washington, Congress had been the prosecutor, General Lee would not probably have been acquitted with the highest honour?
XXV. Whether it must not appear to every one who has read General Washington's letter to Congress, on the War at Morristown, the proceedings of the Court Martial, by which General Lee was tried, that if the conduct of the former are facts, not only General Defence must be a tissue of the most abominable lies, but that the whole of the evidence, both on the part of the accuser and prosecuted, must be guilty of perjury as the testimony of these Generals, nearly in number, delivered on a single article coincide with the facts in his Excellency's letter?
In one of the numerous publications which have lately infested Philadelphia, it was brought a crime against Mr. Deane, that he had directly or indirectly, made some overtures to Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick, to accept the command of the American army—who must, of course, supersede General Washington—This crime is stated with the Prince's reputation as a soldier, in so very ridiculous a light, that they can never think or speak of it, without being thrown into violent fits of laughter.
From a REBEL PAPER. KINGSTON, (Jamaica) May 1. On Thursday last arrived at Port Royal his Majesty's ships Perseus, the Honourable G. K. Elphinstone, Esq; commander, and Ariel, Thomas M'Kenzie, Esq; commander. They were driven from their stations in Bay in a gale of wind, and came to the down-d islands.
correspondent desires us to acquaint the public, that she is now building at John's Port in the parish of Westmoreland, a Press, the East-India method, viz. two bows and two masts, schooner rigged, and to be steered by a piece of timber fixed occasionally at each head; so that she will go her way, without the trouble of putting her up, only by shifting her sails. She will, soon as finished, be fitted out as a privateer, and it is imagined she will sail even faster than the wind.
May 22. By Captain Bogg, who arrived the 17th inst. in 70 days from Greece, we learn, that the 25th of March, in the Irish Channel, he was attacked by an American privateer of 20 guns, who, after an action of four glances, thought proper to sheer perfectly satisfied with the reception Captain Bogg had given him. Captain Bogg had a man killed, but his sails and rigging suffered considerable damage; his armed boat was, six of which were
twelve pounders on a new construction, they were managed by two men, without rammer, sponge or handspike; the ball is discharged by the force of only one pound of powder, they are twenty inches in length, and can be fired twice as often as any other piece of a nance in the same time.
B O S T O N, July 8.
By three persons who arrived at Newbury-Port yesterday last night from Penobscot, and that run from the Le Blanc frigate, we are informed of the enemy's force there, viz.
The Blanc frigate, of 32 guns, full manned, commodore.
The North, an old French ship, 24 long six pounders on the main deck, not full manned.
The Nautilus, of 20 six pounders, not exceeding 70 men.
The Albany of 16 six pounders, full manned, —Mowatt.
The Hope 14 six pounders, full manned.
The Arbuthnot Schooner of 10 guns, about 30 men.
The other armed Schooner manned with carpenters from Halifax.
The Santiland transport, mounts 24 guns, no men to work them.
Two other transports, mounts guns, no men.
Nine hundred land forces, commanded by Brigadier-General M'Lean.
These men left the above named frigate the 16th ult. The land forces were all landed, no artillery landed then, nor any fortifications erected; the talk was that they should begin the next day. Colonel Goloswathwait and Dr. Calfe were on board the frigates before they came to anchor; were much caressed by the Commodore and General; were generally on board with them. The Hope and Arbuthnot were kept out a cruising.
Yesterday arrived here a gentleman from Penobscot, which he left last Saturday; by him we learn that on Sunday last night a brig left the enemy's fleet, supposed bound to Halifax for a reinforcement. The enemy had not made any movements, but were fearful of an attack. This gentleman's account of the strength of the enemy agree with the above except the land force, which he says, by the best accounts does not exceed 700.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, July 7.
The accounts received respecting Major-General Prevost's army since our last, are, that part of it is intrenched on the main at Songo Ferry; the remainder, quartered in different part of John's Island. It is said that a detachment went on Wednesday to Simmons's Island.
On Sunday last, being the Anniversary of the Independence of America, his Excellency the President and the Honourable the Members of Congress attended divine worship in the forenoon in Christ Church, where an excellent sermon, suitable to the occasion, was preached by the Rev. Mr. White, Rector of the episcopal churches in this city, and one of the Chaplains to Congress.
At noon the President and Members of Congress, with the President and chief Magistrates of this State, and a number of other gentlemen and ladies, went, by invitation from the honourable the Minister of France, to the Roman Catholic Chapel, where the great event was celebrated by a well adapted discourse, pronounced by the Minister's Chaplain, and Mass and Te Deum solemnly sung by a number of very good voices, accompanied by the organ and other kind of musick.
L O N D O N.
April 10. Yesterday a General Court was held at the East-India-house, for the purpose of voting the thanks of the Court, and present, to several of the Directors of the Company, and Officers in India. General Smith made a motion in words to the following purport. That the thanks of the Court be given to Sir George Wombwell, Bart, Chairman of the Court of Directors, for his care of and attention to the affairs of the Company, and
particularly for his orders for the reduction of Pondicherry, whereby that place was taken; and also that a present be made him of a piece of plate, value 500 l. as a testimony of their approbation of his conduct. The motion was put and carried unanimously. General Smith then made the following motions; That the thanks of the Court, and a present of a piece of plate, value 300 l. be given to Sir William James, Bart. Deputy Chairman: That the thanks of the Court be given to Mr. Devyees, late Deputy-Chairman, and one of the Secret Committee in the business of Pondicherry, and to Governor Rombold for his services in the affair at Pondicherry: That the thanks of the Court be given to General Munroe, and Sir Edward Vernon, and that a sword of 750 l. be given to each of them. The motions were all put, and unanimously agreed to.
The number of privateers fitted out at the several ports of this kingdom since the first order for reprisals, according to the Admiralty accounts, amount to 340 vessels of different sizes, which carry in the whole near four thousand guns, and employ eleven thousand seamen.
Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Rev. Mr. James Hackman was brought by Mr. Smith, of Tethill-fields Bridewell, from that prison, and examined before Sir John Fielding, in Bow-street, touching the murder of Miss Ray. In order to prevent, as much as possible, the unhappy prisoner from being exposed to the view of wanton, idle curiosity, and to shield him from the impertinent reflections of the illiberal and inhuman, Sir John Fielding very humanely called him into the private office, and ordered him a seat. His head was bound up, but under his handkerchief marks of great violence appeared. From the agonizing pangs which entirely discomposed and externally convulsed him, it was some time before the Magistrate could proceed, and indeed his manifest agitation, contrition, and poignant grief, too sensibly affected all present to wish to add affliction to such heart-rent misery, by judicial interrogations during such keen distress of mind. Water being given him, and a little time and collected fortitude abating his agony, Sir John Fielding very pathetically and tenderly addressed him, desiring him to compose himself, and behave as much like a man as such a situation would permit him, as he had still a great deal to go through. Mr. Hackman earnestly thanked Sir John Fielding for his advice, and endeavoured to compose himself, but the witnesses not being all ready, some little time elapsed before Sir John Fielding could proceed, during which interval Mr. Hackman often relapsed, but when recovered, he preserved the utmost sedateness.
The witnesses being all called in one by one, their informations were severally read over to him, and whenever these parts were repeated of the manner in which he had shot her, and the name of Miss Ray read, he sank into a grief which is impossible for the power of words to paint.
The informations being read, the front door was opened, and all the parties bound over to prosecute—but when the words were pronounced, "to give evidence against James Hackman for the wilful murder of Martha Ray," his sighs and tears, added to his polite and genteel appearance, made most people present give way to the finest feelings of human nature.
Sir John Fielding acquainted him, that he should be happy to contribute any thing in his power to his relief, and would, if possible, have continued him in his present confinement, but he was under a necessity of removing him to Newgate. Mr. Hackman begged that he might have a room to himself, and not be confined in the same place with other unfortunate wretches like himself. The Magistrate told him he might have every indulgence of that sort, as his former situation in life demanded; but also reminded him, that from the attempt he had made on his own life, it was impossible he could be left at any

Mr. Mackman very readily acquiesced, declared he had banished every idea of kind.—Sir John Fielding at his departure "God preserve you, Sir." To which Mackman replied, "God bless you, And retired in a situation that buried inhumanity of his crime in pity and com-
He was immediately led to a coach and conducted to Newgate for trial at the ensu-
Old Bailey Sessions, which begin on Wednesday next.
This miserable gentleman is about 36 years of age, five feet nine inches high, very generally made, and of a most polite address. The sudden and melancholy exit of Miss
say, says a correspondent, marks the necessity of our being ever on our guard. There is something shocking in the idea of a person's stepping from the play-house into ster-
Well might a writer say, "Tis but a single step removes you into eternity:—Be-wareful how you set your foot down." The eldest son of a lately deceased unfortu-
nate lady is a midshipman, and served un-der Sir Hugh Palliser, in the Formidable, during the action of the 27th of July. The following extract of a very affair, which happened but a few weeks since, we are as-
sumed by a correspondent in a very particular lively trace: A Guernsey privateer being on a cruise, took a French ship and was on her way to that island, when she was cha-
sed by a French frigate much too strong for her to cope with, on which she lost the prize (which the man of war went in chase of and took her in flight) and stood for England; she arrived at Walsmouth, from whence an ex-
press was sent up to London, to insure a ca-
pital sum on the prize, which was according-
ly done. The Captain of the French frigate was somewhat struck with the behaviour of the privateer in running for England. Whether it was not the course he ought to have steered or no, we are not acquainted, but he had some suspicion that there was some foul play going forward; as soon therefore as he arrived in France with his prize, he communicated his thoughts thereon, with an account of the whole affair, to several merchants, who immediately concluded that the privateer had run for England for the very purpose that she really did—to insure; they therefore wrote to their correspondents in London, who do most of the French business in the insurance way, and are very capital houses, to acquaint them of the whole affair; and that they might make the proper enquiry among the Underwriters at Lloyd's Coffee house, if such a prize had been insured? Which they accordingly did, and to their very great sur-
prize, found that she had been insured to a very capital amount. It is not therefore to be doubted, but that, should the loss insured be claimed, the law will do the Underwriters justice in not only finding a verdict in their favour, but entail the costs on the claimants.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, March 28. Your Ministers have secured the Court of Russia as well as this Republic in their interest. A short Retrospect into Matters will will place this beyond doubt. The Court of Spain will now take some Consideration before they join France. The Conditions are, that if Spain breaks her neutrality, Russia and this Republic are to declare in Favour of Great-Britain. The Spanish Court have Information of this Negotiation.
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, dated March 29. We learn from Dort, that the recruits from Anspach and Hanau waited only for an English man of war to convoy them to one of the ports of England. The other recruits from Hesse Cassel and Waldeck are to embark at Bremer Lehe; and those of Brunswick and Anhalt-Zerbst at Stade.—All these troops are destined for America."
Some frigates of war are ordered from Plymouth to the West of Ireland, to look after two vessels which are sailed from France for that quarter: The intelligence of their
sailing and destination came from a person resident at the port from which they sailed. A large vessel is constructing in the River, for a floating battery, with very heavy metal; she is to lie in the Harbour of Dublin, for its better defence.
The Spanish Plate fleet expected to arrive this year from South America, is said to have upwards of 4 millions of hard dollars on board. There have been upwards of two thousand five hundred letters of marque issued to seize against the Americans and French.
NEW YORK, July, 17. The following are extracted from some West India papers lately brought from St. Christopher.
Notwithstanding the excellent precautions of Governor Burt, to keep salt provisions from being conveyed to the French at Martinique, yet the twirling rebels who reside at Statia, with the assistance of some disaffected harpies well known at Basseterre, have not only ways and means to supply the enemy with small stores of beef smuggled from the Leeward Islands, but large cargoes from Cork, who clear for St. Kitts or Tortola, and have the assurance to take the benefit of his Majesty's convoy, till they make the land, and then sail after at night, when they make sail, and anchor in Statia road, where the provisions are directly conveyed to the Compte D'Etang, in rebel bottoms, under Dutch colours, by these means the Count gets his fleet supplied with salt provisions for his intended return across the Atlantic.
When the present Dutch Admiral that now commands at Statia arrived there, the rebel tobacco swindlers, and beef barrel ransaga-
doers, drew themselves up in form to receive him, but greatly to their disappointment, he proved to be a well bred man of honour and fortune, and was not come out to make money by protecting swindlers and ransaga-
doers and therefore passed on without taking any notice of them. This gentleman has one hundred thousand pounds in the British funds. The London fleet from the Leeward Islands when arrived in England, will man at least seven sail of the line, there being 280 sail of merchant ships in the fleet, supposed to be manned with 3700 seamen.
The late Dutch Admiral that commanded at Statia, and whose practice it was to insult the British flag, wherever he had it in his power, and to protect rebels and pirates, is now called home, and supposed to be in the ship that was set on fire off Cape Finisterre, as she had Dutch colours flying and was a 50 gun ship. His Majesty's ship Proserpine brought out to St. Lucia 36,000 guineas for the paymaster, Henry Bradshaw, Esquire. Prizes taken lately by his Majesty's ship Venus, Capt. James Ferguson. 1 Large ship from Cape Bay. 1 Cutter from Dunkirk, laden with brandy. 1 Rebel privateer of 14 guns. 1 Beef barrel smuggler, supplying the French.
NEWPORT, August 5.
Yesterday a deserter arrived here from the Main, who lately made his Escape from one of the Prison Ships in Boston Harbour, and informs, that about 20 Prisoners from one of the Prison-ships, a few Days before he made his Escape, got from their Confinement, and seized upon a Brig just returned from the West-Indies, and carried her off: It is supposed they have carried her to Halifax.—He also informs that the Prisoners were used very ill on board those Ships, and mentions particularly their ill treatment of Lieutenant Corey, who was taken some Time since with Captain Crossing.
Yesterday a number of Shaving Mills from Point Judith, valiantly attacked three unarmed fishing Boats belonging to this Place, and carried them into Narrow-Path.
