12 The Supervisor of Revenue for the district of Ohio, being advised that suggestions have been made, that large sums of money have been received by the officers of revenue in this district, which have not been accounted for at the treasury; and knowing that none has come to his hands which has not been accounted for; finds himself under the necessity of again calling on the several collectors in the district who have not settled their accounts, which he now does for the last time—to come forward immediately and settle their respective accounts and pay in their respective collections, which, if they should omit, he is charged forthwith to prosecute as delinquents, and shall proceed accordingly. Being determined, that if this suggestion is true, it shall apply to the guilty only, and that if it is not true, its falsehood shall attach to its author; and the innocent made to appear. T.

“Supervisor's Office, 22d April, 1797.”
2 “BEING assured of legal assistance, the Supervisor of revenue for the district of Ohio, has it in charge from the Treasury department, to make a strenuous effort to enforce the collection of the duties arising from distilled spirits, fills, &c. And is instructed that the first demands ought to be made of those delinquents whose example in opposition to the law has been most influential. If they shall manifest a disposition to submit to the law, by complying with any formal injunctions before omitted, and shall agree to pay the duties which shall have accrued, for two years prior to the first day of July 1797, the Supervisor ought to settle with them on these terms, without coercing the penalties, or the former arrears. If however opposition is made to a compromise on these principles, suits ought to be commenced both for the whole arrears, and for all penalties which have been incurred.
“If a disposition to a compromise shall not be perceived among the influential non-compliers with the law, suits ought to be commenced against this class of men generally; with respect to men of inferior consideration and influence, suits may be suspended until further instructions are received. And it is farther particularly recommended,—that the Supervisor carry the preceding plan of operations into a prompt and complete execution, in a frank, candid, and conciliating spirit, by himself and his collectors.”
To which the Supervisor takes this occasion to add,—that as temperance and forbearance have ever been primary considerations with him in the execution of his office; it is with pleasure he communicates the foregoing benevolent propositions on the part of the government of the United States, and flatters himself, that the people to whom they are made, will see in them, as well the indulgence of the government, as the indispensable necessity of enforcing the execution of the law, against all opposition. T. MARSHALL, Supervisor.

ANS. Refused.—A commissioner shall be charged to inspect the registers or other papers belonging to the chancery; and if they are of no use to the French Republic, carriages shall be furnished for carrying them away.
VII. The sick and wounded shall be treated humanely, they shall be left in the hospitals with the surgeons and attendants necessary, the number of whom shall be fixed; and after their cure they shall have the benefit of the articles of capitulation, as well as those whose affairs may detain them at Mantua, to whom the necessary passports shall be delivered as soon as their business shall be terminated.

EDINBURGH, March 7.
We have seen a letter from London of last Saturday's date, which states, that in consequence of the great accession of strength lately acquired by opposition an immediate change of Ministry would take place. It mentions, as part of the new arrangements, the duke of Bedford, first lord of the treasury, Mr. Grey, Chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Fox, Secretary of the Foreign Department.—We think it proper to mention that this intelligence comes from a ministerial channel; our readers will therefore attach to it none of that credit which is due to respectable authority.
A letter from a considerable manufacturer at Midstone, dated 2d cur. just handed to us, say, "We are all in strange consternation here; the fear of the French and the slopping of the Banks, are too much at once. They are going to distribute paper money in this town; so we shall have a bad piece of work on Saturday night. I never felt so uncomfortable in my life and heartily wish I was out of business.—In this I speak the general feelings of my fellow citizens."
A gentleman visiting Glasgow, writes, that Mr. Fox...
communication of opinion, the country is deceived, and each district imagines itself singular in its detestation of the present men and measures."
However low the British Funds are at present, they are higher than the Funds of the flourishing states of America.
American 3 per cent. sell at 49 to 50. 6 per cent. deferred, 74 to 76. 6 per cent. present, 80 to 81.
These are the present prices in London—we believe they sell still lower in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA April 21. FRENCH BANKRUPTCY (IN FEBRUARY.)
The new coinage at Paris is to the amount of two millions and a half sterling, chiefly in silver. For the return of louis d'ors into circulation, has been within ten weeks, so vast and general throughout the republic, that there is no need of any new gold coinage.
The largest of this new silver coinage is for five francs, and is a very beautiful coin, indeed. The legends and devices on the two sides are two whole length figures, inscribed, UNION ET FORCE.
With the denominated value in words of five francs, and la Republique Francaise.
On an essay we understand, that the silver is very pure, and the weight fully equal to the exhibited value.
The Prices of provisions at the same period, which it is to be observed was that of the failure of the Irish expedition—of the negotiation—and of the last discovered plots—form a very curious subject of contrast!—
Bread is 1 1-2d. a pound; that is 5 1-2d. the quarter loaf English weight and money;—the English quarter loaf weight 4lb. 5oz. 8pwt.
Butchers meat 4 1-2d. to 5d. per pound of 16 oz.
Wines.—The prices varying of course, according to their quality. But upon a general average of the whole lists of wines, they are about 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than they were under the old despotism.
River fish, as Tench and Eels, &c. 4d to 5d. the pound.
Sea fish, particularly shellfish, as lobsters, and prawns, which used to be remarkably scarce and dear, now become very plentiful and cheap.—The Republican government, labouring in each department of police, has been very successful in improving the fisheries, and in encouraging, replenish-
ing and cheapening all the markets throughout the Republic; but the price of these articles will serve for the rest.
Partridges—10d. the brace. A Hare—10d. to 1s. 3d. Brandy—9d. to 1s. 6d. the quart. Butter (fresh)—8d. the pound. Eggs—6d. the dozen and a half. Soap—5d. to 6d. the pound. Starch—2d. to 3d. the pound. Potatoes—one farthing the pound. Candles—5d. to 6d.
NEW-YORK, April 19.
Advices from London of March 7, mentions, that the king of Naples was on the eve of concluding a defensive and offensive alliance with France; and of retaining from that power part of the Papal territories, at the price of eight million of dollars, a considerable quantity of corn, and by opening his harbors to all French ships.
The French are still making encroachments on the Venetian territories. The important town of Udino was the last conceded to the French, in consequence of the menaces of Mafina.
A Dissolution of the co-partnership between Nathaniel & Robert Rochester, under the firm of Robert Rochester & Co. at Danville and Bairdstown, having taken place last fall—all persons indebted to the said concern, are requested to make payment to Mr. John Rochester of Danville, who is authorised to settle the business of the said concern.

RECENT EVENT.
The two families of the Amicables and the Franks were some time on terms of friendship; but the heads of the F-family, at length declared that the conduct of the A-family was partial towards the Bull alias Lion family; and especially in a bargain which had been concluded between the Bulls and Amicables. The Directors of the F-family gave an ingenious hint, and the children and servants of the A-family were robbed on the highways. The fathers of the A-s determined to send one of the beloved sons of that family to declare his sincere good wishes and those of the family, to explain and to remonstrate. At the same time the F-s continued to rob and plunder, and the five chiefs declared they would break off all regular, friendly intercourse with the chiefs of the Amicables. Accordingly when the faithful son of the A-s arrived at the house of the five Frank chiefs, he was thus addressed: "We do not know you at all, Sir, and if you do not walk out of the house, some of the servants shall kick you out." So the great counsel of the A-s has been called to determine, in the spirit of moderation, wisdom and true honour, what their interests and dignity demand.
(CIRCULAR.) TREASURY DEPARTMENT. REVENUE OFFICE, March 30th, 1797. GENTLEMEN,
THE design of this communication is to reiterate the explanations and construction of the act passed the third day of March, 1797, entitled, "An act repealing in part the act concerning the duties on spirits distilled within the United States, passed the eighth of May, 1792, and imposing certain duties on stills of a particular description;" copies of which act have been transmitted. I have already made to you one communication upon this subject of the fourteenth instant, but as it is a very important law, it may be useful to present the same ideas again in different terms.
This act, though supplementary to former acts in relation to duties on distilled spirits and stills, has no reference to any stills employed in the distillation of spirits from foreign materials; nor has it any reference to the stills in any distillery in a city, town or village, the capacity of all the stills of which is four hundred gallons or upwards. In respect to all country stills whatever, employed in distilling domestic materials, and to stills employed on like materials in cities, towns and villages, in which the whole capacity of the stills is less than four hundred gallons, the following principles are established by force and virtue of this act, taken in connection with the unrepealed parts of former acts.
1st. All distillers must in the month of June in every year make entry of their stills as heretofore: and if they propose to distil by licence, their election must be signified, as formerly, in writing at the time of entry in June. It is particularly to be observed, that if no election be made to distil by licence at the time of entry, the distiller will be absolutely held by law to pay a duty of fifty-four cents per gallon on the capacity of his still for the year ensuing, payable in two half yearly instalments, should his still be worked
once during the said year, just as if this law of 1797 had not been passed. If the election to distil by licence be omitted to be made, no licence will be demandable by the distiller during such year, nor can any collector grant a licence to such non-electing distiller. This cannot be made too plain to the officers and distillers, and I request you to impress it on them.
2d. If at any time of entry in June annually, an election be made to distil by licence, the distiller may at his option demand licences, for either of the following periods or terms, for which he will be chargeable at the following rates, viz:
For a license for two weeks or fourteen days, at 6 cents for every gallon of the capacity of the still, including its head.
For a license for one month, at 10 cents as aforesaid.
For a license for two months, at 18 cents as aforesaid.
For a license for 3 months, at 24 cents as aforesaid.
For a license for 4 months at 30 cents as aforesaid.
For a license for 5 months, at 36 cents as aforesaid.
For a license for 6 months at 42 cents as aforesaid.
3d. If a distiller, having actually elected in June to pay by licence, proceeds to any distillation without making out such licence, or after it shall expire, he will be liable to pay a duty of 42 cents per gallon on the capacity of his still, including its head.
4th. No second or subsequent licence can be demanded, until all that is due on the still, for which such licence is requested, shall have been paid and discharged.
5th. After a license has been taken out, whether for a fortnight or one or more months, it cannot be altered to include a time longer, or shorter than that for which it was granted, nor can it be returned for the purpose of obtaining another licence, comprehending the same time, and more, or the whole, or any part of the same time. Nor can that licence be in any way prolonged, or otherwise altered or varied. When its term expires, a new one can be taken out at the pleasure of the electing distiller for any lawful term.
The right of using, during the licenced term, a still for which a licence has been obtained, may be transferred to a new owner; due entry of the sale being previously made with the proper officer of inspection, in which case the act or instrument of transfer ought to be endorsed upon the licence.
It is to be carefully and impressively observed to the collectors and distillers, that stills not entered in the month of June, remain liable to all the unrepealed provisions and penalties prescribed by former acts.
In executing this law, the officers of the revenue will be most particularly careful to remind all the distillers, that on omission to signify in June, and in writing, their election to pay duty by licence, will leave them during the ensuing year liable to the charge of fifty-four cents per gallon on the capacity of their stills, without a possibility of relief, if they shall employ such still in any act of distillation.
I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, Tench Coxe. Comm'r of revenue. The Supervisors.

To the Patrons of Literature.
HAVING with infinite concern observed the little attention that is paid to the instruction of youth in the grammatical principles of the English language in most of our schools, both in town and country; I find after the most accurate enquiry into the state of the case, and deliberate investigation of the subject, that this enormous neglect must be principally attributed to the manner in which the fundamental & indispensably necessary science has hitherto been treated.
There are indeed a few systems extant which merit a considerable degree of esteem; but these being originally designed for young men who have been initiated in classical studies, are consequently unfit for the information of the ignorant, and entirely above the capacities of children.
The majority of treatises which have heretofore been published on this subject, are written in such a latinized, drolux and circumlocutory style, that they are almost (if not altogether) unintelligible not only to pupils, but also to teachers who have ever been favored with a liberal education: as for those few more philanthropic writers, who have condescended to write for general information, they have done it in so loose, superficial and unsystematic a manner, that their performances are utterly inadequate to answer the end proposed.
In order therefore, to remove these difficulties—clear all obstructions from the way of the learner, and, in a word, render all persons inexcusable, who will not acquaint themselves with the constituent principles of their Mother Tongue; I propose publishing a concise and comprehensive system, equally free from an unnecessary prolixity and an abstruse brevity: my whole ambition being to merit the approbation and encouragement of my fellow citizens, by endeavoring to promote a more general diffusion of grammatical knowledge amongst all classes, and particularly those who may not have an opportunity of learning the grammar of other languages.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
A FAVORITE SONG.
A S 'cross the field the other morn I trip'd so blithe and gay, The squire with his dog and gun, By chance came by that way: Whither so fast sweet maid, he cry'd, And caught me round the waist, Pray stop awhile; dear sir, said I, I can't for I'm in haste.
You must not go as yet, cry'd he, For I have much to say; Come sit you down, and let us chat, Upon the new-mown hay: I've lov'd you long, & of't have wish'd Those ruby lips to taste, I'll have a kiss, well then, said I, Be quick, for I'm in haste.
Just as I spoke I saw young Hodge Come thro' a neighbouring gate; He caught my hand and cry'd dear girl I fear I've made you wait: But here's the ring come let's to church The joys of love to taste— I left the squire, and laughing, said, You see, sir, I'm in haste.
