CRAIG, PARKER & Co. PAPER MANUFACTORY,
Is now actually making paper, and we make no doubt but that in the course of this spring, we shall be able to furnish this state in all kinds of paper, provided we can get a sufficient supply of rags; nor have we any reason to fear, from the success we have already had in collecting rags, but that we shall be plentifully supplied, provided the good people of this state can be prevailed on to save them, and as the prosecution of this business depends entirely on that article, we earnestly hope that the importance of the manufactory to the state at large, is a sufficient argument to the individuals to save their rags.

William Harris. July 3, 1793.
To CHRISTOPHER GREENUP, Esq. SIR,
YOU have, through the medium of Mr. Bradford's paper, been requested to assign to your constituents the reasons by which you were actuated in an important part of your public conduct at the last session of Congress. You have refused to do so; and, by your silence, have convinced every thinking-man, that your vote in favor of the Secretary of the Treasury cannot be justified. You will not deny that the public have done you the strictest—the most impartial justice. They have solicited you to arrest their judgments by making your defence: And I am confident they would have considered with attention, and weighed with candor every argument which you could have produced in your own vindication. But you have been silent; and when we reflect on your well known solicitude to obtain the favor of the people, we may very fairly impute your silence to a consciousness of the impropriety of your conduct. But, to remove every doubt on the subject, it will only be necessary to enquire into the facts which were proved or admitted on the investigation of Mr. Giles' Resolutions. As the publications are lengthy, and as some of my fellow citizens may not have had time or patience to give them an attentive perusal, I shall endeavor, as briefly as possible, to give a detail of the leading facts which appeared in the course of the enquiry.
It appeared, That by a law of the 4th of August 1790, the President was authorised to borrow 12,000,000 of dollars to be applied to the payment of the foreign debt of the United States.
That by another law passed the 12th of August 1790 the President was authorised to borrow 2,000,000 of dollars to be applied towards sinking the domestic debt of the United States.
That the President, on the 28th of August 1790, authorised the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow the money; and positively instructed him, immediately to apply it in the manner directed by the above mentioned Acts.
That the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of applying the money borrowed under the first Act to the discharge of the foreign debt of the United States, drew a part of it over to America, and devoted it to the use of the Bank.
That the money borrowed under the second Act, instead of being applied to the discharge of the domestic debt of the United States, was also drawn over and lodged in the Bank, contrary to the directions of the Act and the express instructions of the President.
That since the time of making these loans, the United States have been subjected to the payment of interest on the foreign and domestic debt, and also interest on the money borrowed of Holland; whilst the bank has had the use of 3,000,000 of Dollars of the money borrowed of Holland, without paying any interest to the United States.
That whilst the sum of 3,000,000 of dollars, the property of the United States was lodged in the Bank, the Secretary of the Treasury, on behalf of the United States, borrowed of the bank 400,000 dollars on interest of five per cent.
That until the last session of Congress, the Secretary gave no official information of his conduct; and when called on for information wrote an insulting, abusive letter, calling in question the motives of those virtuous members who took an enquiry necessary.
These are some of the principal facts which appeared in the examination of the subject: And I submit it to you whether they were not all completely established either by the Secretary's own reports, or by authentic documents. The Resolutions brought before congress, grew out of these facts, and perfectly correspond with them. And yet sir, altho you cannot—you dare not deny the facts, you have negatived the Resolutions. You knew that an admission of the facts was an admission of his guilt, and therefore thought it prudent to acquit your Champion by boldly bidding defiance to the truth. You succeeded. Your name—the name of a Kentucky Representative is enrolled with the names of that speculating majority to whom we are indebted for a funding system; a bank, an Excise law, and an ineffectual war, protracted by expensive and unavailing treaties. But the triumph of the party to which you belong, will soon have an end. The people are well aware that you are their Servant, and not their Ruler. From your conduct they will learn an important lesson. They will learn to distinguish the cringing, fawning Courtier, from the real friend of the people. Altho you may refuse to lay a statement of your public conduct before them, yet they will examine it and judge for themselves. Should they find you guilty of political misconduct, they will replace you in a situation, where you cannot injure them, or disgrace yourself. Nor will those sham apologies which you whisper among your constituents, and which you vary as you think will best promote your interest, avail you. To some, you confess the Secretary's guilt, but insist that he could only be tried by Impeachment. To others, you assert that he was innocent, but that the vouchers of his innocence were confidential.

Will you publicly defend yourself on either of these grounds? If an impeachment was the only way in which this distinguished offender could be tried, why did you not bring forward a Resolution stating that this was the case? Or why did you not institute an impeachment? Or why did you vote against the Resolutions which only stated the facts? And can you venture to assert that the finances of a free country are managed in confidence? Shall those men who are entrusted with the public monies dissipate them at pleasure, and when called upon to account for them be permitted to say that their defence is confidential? For if so, Sir, rather be entirely silent than offer such frivolous excuses for your conduct. An injury is more readily forgiven than an insult. Your vote has injured us—your defence is an insult upon our understandings.
A REPUBLICAN.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PARIS, April 29. GENERAL CUSTINE'S Second letter to the President of the National Convention.
Head-Quarters General at Wei- senburg, May 7, 1793.
Citizen President, I cannot command the armies of the Rhine and the Moselle, which have been, entrusted to me, after having lost the confidence of citizens Ramps, Montant and Co- balle the commissioners of the re- publican representatives of the people. I cannot doubt that the first has brought with him the most disagreeable and most unmerited prejudices against me.
These three Commissioners, on Saturday the 27th of April, brought me to a trial before them, giving me as an antagonist, Lieutenant Colonel Offenbein, one of the least respectable subjects of the republic.
At present after returning from a journey which I was obliged to take to the Upper Rhine, for the interest of the republic, I was violently accused by one of these representatives, in presence of a number of the officers of the army, respecting a letter which I wrote to the Duke of Brunswick; an exact copy I have here subjoined, with my private thoughts, by which it was dictated, explained in the margin. As long as I was only to interpret my expressions, I answered with all that moderation which the commissioners had a right to expect; but when one of them, whom the rest applauded, accused me of having displayed in that letter sentiments unworthy of a republican, I can no longer after such an injury, continue to command the armies of the republic; and for its interest, I request that you will appoint some one to succeed me, for I cannot command the French troops after their delegates announce to me that they refuse me their esteem; and it would be dishonoring the post to which your confidence raised me, and be shewing myself unworthy of that testified to me by my fellow citizens, if through ambition I should retain an office in which such language would deprive me of the means of being able to discharge the duties of it.
The character which I had even before the Assembly of the States General, the opinions which at the epoch were in me the result of long, and of mature observation, made in the midst of courts, an experience and observations which gave rise to my republican principles are the same at present; but as they are the result of principles long ago deeply studied, they have not produced that exaggeration which makes some despise all Kings, because they have had the
misfortune to be born on the throne.
"I beg the representatives of the people to remember, that I demand the restoration of a villain, and that I was not making an eulogium; but I will again repeat, let impartial men read my letter, and they will see whether I offer incense to the virtues of the king of Prussia—On the contrary, they will read, that I hope not to be compelled to pronounce opinions so unfavorable to him, as those which would be excited in my mind by his granting protection to traitors.
I shall not here mention the harsh expressions with which this charge was accompanied, because they concern myself personally. I insist only on the impossibility under which I am of being able to discharge those functions which I am desirous to see taken from me.
My wishes for the glory of the arms of the republic are, however, not less sincere. I wish that another more fortunate than myself may unite the confidence of the commissioners to the talents necessary for ensuring our success. Till the last moment I shall neglect nothing to attain that end, the object of all my vows, but I must inform you, representatives of the people, that it is absolutely requisite that some one may be appointed to fill my place as soon as possible. I shall wait for my successor and give him an account of all my plans.
Signed CUSTINE.
DUBLIN, May 25. It seems rather extraordinary that no returns have appeared in the London papers of the killed & wounded of British troops in the late engagement with the French. If none was sent, it is certainly a blamable omission: and if a return was made, it is really criminal to have suppressed it, as it leaves many worthy and respectable families in great uncertainty of the fate of their relations and friends, who were officers in the British forces.
Accounts are received in town from the country of Roscommon, stating, that, the inhabitants there had exhibited a great general dislike to the militia enrolment. The letters say, that the peasants assembled to the amount of several thousands, and declared their determined hostility to this measure of government.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PHILADELPHIA, July 24.
We hear that Governor Simcoe, of Upper Canada, has refused the United States leave to transport provisions through his government to support the Indian treaty; but has promised to furnish all that shall be wanted, without any expense to the United States.
Yesterday arrived here a ship from Scotland, prize to the Xebeque Sans Culottes, of Nantz, said to be worth forty thousand pounds sterling.
We have it has="Text"> We have it in our power to give a direct contradiction of the English accounts of the capture of Nantz by the Brittany insurgents. The Xebeque Sans Culottes left that city on the 28th of April, when such an event was not even feared, or thought of. The English date of its capture was on the 24th.
August 3. By a gentleman in fifteen days from Olwego, we are favored with the following intelligence:
That the commissioners appointed to treat with the Indians, after being detained some weeks at Niagara for want of proper court credentials from the executive of the United States, had proceeded in company with a number of British officers to Sandusky, the place appointed for the treaty. Soon after their commencing on the business of their mission, a runner arrived from the Ohio with information
that Gen. Wayne was moving forward with his army to Sandusky—at which the Indians appeared to be greatly exasperated, threatened the commissioners, and in short insisted on removing to Niagara to complete the treaty; with which the commissioners, from personal safety, thought proper to comply. Here the business was again interrupted by the arrival of some chiefs on the part of the Onondago, Maffalangar, and Cocknewager nations, who insisted on returning to Sandusky—which being agreed on, their counter-march was to commence the day our informant left Olwego. He adds that Gov. Simcoe was to accompany the commissioners.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Long Branch, dated August 1.
"We are this moment witnessing a grand and interesting fight—an engagement between the Embuscade and an English frigate, apparently of equal force. They have been engaged since 5 o'clock—it is now 8, and victory appears evident for citizen Bompard, as the British Frigate is much injured in her rigging."
Late accounts from Ireland mention, that upwards of ten thousand people were in arms in the western parts of that island, committing every kind of havoc and devastation. The military force was obliged to retreat before them. This insurrection is said to have been occasioned by the militia act, and the present distresses arising from the war.
We hear from Shrewsbury that about 9 o'clock on Thursday morning last, the frigate l'Ambuscade was seen engaging with the Boston frigate off that place. After keeping it up from two to three hours, the Boston had her foremast and fore top mast shot away: in consequence of which she made what sail she could and stood off to sea. The Ambuscade, though damaged in her standing rigging, and small spars, stood after her, and when out of sight of land, they were again heard engaging. The final result was not known when this paper went to press.
LANSINGBURG, July 23.
We have as late accounts from Niagara, as about two weeks since. It had been supposed that Governor Simcoe, would attend at the treaty with our commissioners; but he has at last excused himself, by saying it will be inconvenient for him on account of the daily applications of people from the States, for lands in that province. This excuse rather confirms the opinion of the most discerning, that he acts with a view of appearing agreeable and friendly to both, at the same time not to injure so desirable an object as the continuance of the Indian war. We are very wrongly informed if the people there do not consider it an English, rather than an Indian war. If these things be true, it is certainly impolitic and inhuman in the people of the law, (at this time) to over-run his Excellency with private business, to the exclusion of conciliatory acts of benevolence. Our readers will condemn a deed that prevents the exercise of a virtue.
The Indians are said to be very troublesome about Fort St. Clair and Jefferson. There is at the former a man who was some time prisoner with the Indians, and lately made his escape from them: he says they are making every preparation for battle; they told him they could raise 6000 warriors in two days, and were determined on war, or have peace on their own terms. He further says, that they are amply furnished for war.
Lexington, September 7. From the General Advertiser of August 2.
We are favored thro a channel on which we can depend, with the following extract of a letter from Magdeburgh.
"I can assure you that the accounts inferred in several journals of M. de la Fayette's being dead is false. He is still here with M. ALEXANDER LAMETH, and their companions in misfortune, in as good health as can be expected, in a prison very close and unwholesome. I have not seen them; for they are allowed to see nobody; they are not even permitted to communicate with one another. I shall say little of what I feel upon this subject; but I cannot help thinking that the atrocities of which the Jacobins have been guilty in France, in moments of alarm and frenzy, are more pardonable than the deliberate injustice which these honorable men have been compelled to suffer—How after this can any man trust to the moderation of the Combined Powers."

ONE PENNY REWARD —the full value of a villain.
RAN AWAY again from the subscriber, an indented apprentice, named JOHN HUTCHINSON, about 16 years old, young in age but old in iniquity; small in stature, but a great scoundrel: He is very fond of gaming, addicted to cheating, lying, laziness, drinking, and every other practice annexed to iniquity. Both him and his character being too well known in this and Frederick county, a full description of this candidate for the gallows, is deemed unnecessary. He had on when he went off, a round jean jacket, nankeen waistcoat and overalls, wool hat, shoes with black buckles, and linen shirt, all which apparel was mostly new; he also stole and carried off with him, a piece of unbleached linen, a pair of cotton stockings, a new cambric handkerchief, a new linen shirt, and a pair large nankeen breeches. All persons are cautioned against harboring or employing the said runaway, if they wish to avoid trouble. Whoever will apprehend the above accomplished rogue and commit him to jail that he may be punished for his crimes, will render the public infinite service, but if brought home, the above reward only will be paid, and that a hard bargain.

NOTICE is hereby given to all to whom it may concern, THAT on the ninth day of June in the year 1786 a contract took place between Jacob Myers Sen. and a certain Samuel Ewing deceased to this effect, viz. The aforesaid Samuel Ewing was to locate for the aforesaid Jacob Myers 4000 acres of land, on the waters of the Rolling fork. Myers was to pay all expences of surveying and patenting of the same, and was to convey to Ewing the one half of the land located as aforesaid.
That Samuel Ewing in his lifetime sold to me his interest in the one half of the lands aforesaid, without having obtained from Myers a deed for the same: And whereas the aforesaid Jacob Myers has for a considerable time past absconded himself from this State, without having made me a deed for the same. And I have since his departure divided the land aforesaid, as equal as possible in the presence of two disinterested men, and have given notice of the division to Thomas T. Davis his Attorney in fact and requested a conveyance, which has been refused by him, and also refused to make choice of either part of the divided premises for and in behalf of the said Jacob Myers. I do hereby give notice that I have made choice of a certain moiety of said lands, and have taken possession of the same, and do by these presents forewarn all and every person whatsoever from purchasing the land aforesaid, from the aforesaid Thomas T. Davis his Attorney in fact, or from any other person whatsoever, as I am determined to hold the possession of the same until ousted by due course of law.

SACRED TO THE MUSES
PHILANTHROPY
TRUE CHARITY can never fail But will o'er Time and Death prevail: Were Prophecies and Tongues to cease, The Man of Love shall live in peace. Of ev'ry Virtue, ev'ry Grace, True Charity is first in place; And love to God and Man will be The Ground of ALL FELICITY!
A N E C D O T E
A CLERGYMAN in New-Jersey owned a Negro by the name of Quash, who was by no means fond of working; and one day told his Master he conceived a hardship, "dat de poor negar man mus worke so hard, and massa do noting." You are mistaken, Quash, my labor is more fatiguing than yours; I do head-work, and yours is mere bodily exercise. This hint was sufficient for Quash. The next day he was ordered into the woods to procure fuel; but Quash staying longer than usual, the Parton repaired to the woods to see what detained him; when behold! the first object that presented itself to his view was Quash astride on a large Maple log, in a pensive attitude. When he enquired the cause, Quash starting up and rubbing his Midnight brew, "Oh! massa, me—me have been doing head-work.—Well, let me hear what your head has done. Suppose, massa, dere be five pigeons on dis tree, and you take a gun and shoot two of dem, how many dere be left?—Why, three you old sinner.—No, massa, dem toder tree fly away."
