WE are well informed that some malicious person has lodged salt of an inferior quality, for a length of time, at the widow Comings's, for sale, as being of our manufactory. We hereby declare to the public, that we did never lodge any salt for sale on the road between this place and Lexington. This deception is calculated not only to injure our reputation, but the public at large.

PARIS, August 11.
Gen. Hoche, in a letter to the director says on the 11th Messidor, he was ordered to the command of an expedition projected against Ireland; and for that reason the 10,000 troops which have occasioned so much anxiety were marched.

Poultier, in the Ami des Loix, says that a great number of emigrant priests are known to have embarked on board a neutral ship, a Dane, in the river Thames, who are to be dropped on shore in different parts of the coast of Normandy—300 horse are stationed to give a good account of these uninvited guests.
In the southern departments of the Cotes du nord, English frigates came in open day to vomit on the Republic those men who carried arms to reduce us to slavery. We are surprised that the officers of the customs give no obstacle to their disembarking.
LONDON, August 17.
The negotiations at Lisle, as far as can be collected from the little which leaks from the understrappers concerned in it, progresses and retrogrades pretty much as the knitting business. "Of that fam'd woman—wife
Ulysses; By night whose day's work pick'd to pieces; And though she stoutly did bestir her Her finishing was ne'er the nearer."
For as soon as one difficulty is got under or over, another rises more formidable than the last. The bone knowing at the last account, was Toulon business. Citizen Letourneur, insists on the Restitution of all the ships taken there, this puts my Lord Malmesbury in a dilemma, for his documents on the subject are rather contradictory. The preliminary declaration of Lord Hood. August 23, 1793—and the subsequent declaration of his Majesty on the 20th of November, 1793, differ very widely from each other on this subject.—The first says 'whenever peace takes place, the forts with all the ships in the harbour of Toulon, shall be restored to France, and the stores of every kind agreeable to the schedule delivered.'—His majesty declares "when monarchy shall be restored in France, and a Treaty of peace concluded, stipulating in favour of his Majesty and his allies, the restitution of all conquests made by France during the war, and a just indemnification for the losses and expenses thereby incurred, and a proper security for the future, his majesty will cause the town, forts and harbour of Toulon together with the ships and stores therein to be restored according to the engagements entered into by the said Vice Admiral."—His Lordship also, in his proclamation of August 29, 1793, declares, "that he holds Toulon only in trust for Louis XVI." If the French insist on the preliminary declaration of Lord Hood, it opens a wide field indeed for restitution.—If they refer to his Majesty's declaration, the promise is nugatory and unavailing.
The arrangement of these points may probably occasion much difficulty.
August 19.
A singular contest recently occurred at Bristol.—Two young men, ship carpenters, paid their addresses to a laundress; their pretensions were so equal to the fair one, that she could not form an election, and it was at length a-
greed by all parties that her decision should depend on the event of a battle. The lovers met on Thursday evening, in the glass house field, behind the rope walk, between seven and eight o'clock, and a desperate fight ensued. Neither would give it in; and being at length exhausted, the affair was adjourned. On Friday at the same hour and place, they met again; the contest was renewed, and continued till ten o'clock, when the woman attempted to separate them, but in doing so received several severe blows. Her arm was sprained, one of her fingers broken and so much bruised, that she and her two admirers were carried from the field nearly lifeless. One was a very tall man, the other of short stature.
August 24.
The terms of the treaty concluded with Portugal have been ratified by the legislative council. The committee appointed to examine this treaty are stated to have had an interview with Talleyrand Perigord, the minister for foreign affairs, before they made their report, in the course of which they expressed their surprise to him at the peace with Portugal having preceded that with Great Britain. The minister is said to have answered, that it was in pursuance of the system adopted by the Directory to detach England from the other coalesced powers; but that notwithstanding the difficulties which he had to surmount, he did not doubt of being able to treat definitively with that power.
Letters received yesterday by a capital house in the city, state, that a great part of the Spanish army, which occupied the line of St. Roche and the encampment at Algeziras, had marched for Cadiz, to protect that city and arsenal from the assaults of the English fleet.
The same letters state, that the English fleet have taken a new and advantageous position at the Offing of the harbor of Cadiz.
BOSTON, October 20.
Capt. Trott, from Liverpool, in long 20, fell in with ship Union, 22 days from hence bound for Amsterdam, on board of which was the Honorable Elbridge Gerry, one of the Envoys Extraordinary for adjusting our differences with the French Republic, from whom Capt. T. received letters for his family and friends.
October 23.
THE REAL LAUNCH.
On Saturday last the citizens again assembled at the Navy Yard, to view the launch of the Frigate Constitution. Amid a croud of spectators, she moved with a most graceful dignity into the embraces of the surrounding waters; the radical amendments in her ways, gave her an easy descent, and this child of the Ocean was safely delivered in her cradle, to the protection of Neptune, to be suckled at the breast of "fair Bellona." With gentle emotions, and a modest decency she soon disencumbered herself of her swaddling clothes, and seemed to smile with a pleasing complacency on the brilliant Assembly who attended the ceremonies of her nativity.
On the two former occasions, she resolutely maintain'd her position, while exposed to the rude attacks of tackles & screws, but when she found herself under the particular care and management of her constructor and his chosen Associates, she cheerfully resigned herself to her destined element.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 2.
By the Fabius, capt. Desvern, arrived at this port late last evening, from Havre de Grace, we have received a regular file of the Moniteur, but they are not later than accounts via London. Sailed from Havre August 28: has several passengers on board.
We are assured that the American Commissioners had not arrived when the Fabius failed, but that orders were issued for their polite reception, whenever they should land on the territory of the French Republic.
We have authority to announce that about 60 000 ster. has been awarded by the commissioners and courts in London, as indemnifications for spoliations on the American commerce; which sum has been paid by government—the business is in progress for a satisfactory adjustment of all other American claims.
INSURRECTION IN CHINA,
Captain Lorr, arrived here yesterday from Canton, informs, that the whole Chinese territory is in a state of revolutionary insurrection; and that in consequence of the existing troubles, the productions of the country were considerably advanced.
Letters received from the Hague inform us, that the plan of the Batavian constitution which was submitted to the people, has been rejected by a great majority of voices, as not being sufficiently democratic.
We have an authentic letter from Lisbon, stating the loss of the Brititia in Teneriffe, as follows—admiral Nelson lost an arm; capt. Bowen killed; captain and crew of the Fox, 80 in number, sunk under the batteries, and lost 250 men in landing; 5 lieutenants and other officers killed; 150 taken.
PHILADELPHIA, October 26.
—PEACE IN EUROPE—
It is with pleasure we announce to the public the safe arrival of the William Penn, Captain Josiah, from London which port she left on the 23d of August; but put into Falmouth, and failed from thence on the 31st in company with the armed ship Cleopatra, captain Newell, of and bound to this port.
One of the passengers favored us with London papers to the evening of August 29th, from which we have made the extracts which follow. The same gentleman had a paper of the 13th which was lost at sea.
The paper of August 30th mentions that peace was concluded between France and England. The papers that mention it were L'Eclair and Messager du Soir—One other mentions its having just arrived by the telegraphe, and circulated in the hall of the convention. The terms were—France to have restored all her possessions in the East and West-Indies, which belonged to her in May 1789—all the ships taken at Toulon—The island of Ceylon and Trincomalee to the Dutch; Ostend a free port for all nations; and in compensation, the English to retain the Cape of Good Hope. The French papers were dated 26th August. The opinion of the editor of the London paper was that the news was fabricated.
October 28.
The following very agreeable intelligence is received by the ship Cleopatra, from London
September 2, was boarded by a boat with 4 men, from the shore, off the Lizard, who informed that peace was concluded, and that they had read it in the papers the day before.
Same day Capt. Newell saw a government lugger board a ship of war, then standing to the Westward—The ship immediately after put about and flood in for the land. Captain Newell supposes the lugger to have been dispatched for the purpose of communicating the above intelligence to the British cruisers.
[The above report deserves no credit and is in all probability, a mere repetition of the London fabrication. The conclusion of peace between France and England was announced in a London print of August 30. The same report might have reached Falmouth on the 1st September; but it is not likely that in the vicinity of Falmouth and the Lizard, they should have had more authentic information on that subject on the 1st or the 2d September than at London on the 30th of August.]

October 31.
The Diet of Livonia (one of the Russian provinces) have determined upon the abolition of Vassallage, which only wants the sanction of the Emperor: An example which for the sake of humanity, it is to be hoped will be speedily and generally imitated.
FROM A NEW-YORK PAPER OF YESTERDAY.
IMPORTANT.
We have received from a correspondent in London an act of the British Parliament passed 16th July 1797, suspending the operation of the Navigation act, in regard to foreigners trading to the East-Indies. By this act, nations in amity with Great Britain, are permitted to import into and export from, the British possessions in India in their own vessels such goods and commodities as shall be allowed by the

Directors of the East India company. —And the directors are ordered to frame regulations accordingly.
PRIVATE LETTERS
From London, gives us strong ground to hope that our commissioners will be well received by the French Government, and that Europe will be soon blest with peace.
October 24.
The Americans are recovering compensation for British spoliation. It appears that 94 cases have been decided, and the awards paid to our agent at London. The sum thus obtained, is 34,442l. sterl. or 366l. for each claim, a small sum we should think, for a vessel and cargo, with interest, damage for detention, &c.
An arrival at Bolton, on the fourteenth of October, in forty days from Lisbon, confirms the defeat of the British bloodhounds at Teneriffe, with this addition—that of 1400 sailors and soldiers, not one was suffered to escape.
An American smiles at the erroneous and absurd accounts given of this country, particularly of its political state in European prints. Europeans doubtless return the compliment, and laugh at the misinformation of Americans with respect to their own affairs. This is one of the many reasons against a connection with that quarter of the globe: for a well known maxim in trade is, 'be cautious in dealing with those you do not know.' This however is not the only or strong argument against foreign relations, others have frequently been offered, and deserve frequently to be recalled to mind, together with this question, "Whether it would not be better for us to pay more attention to improving our extensive country, establishing manufactures which may render us independent of Europe, endeavoring to discover remedies for our local difficulties, and extending the bounds of science, than in courting European alliances and making ourselves busy with the affairs of nations by whom we must expect to be outwitted in politics or overawed by force."
November 3.
A gentleman who came passenger in the stage from New York, states that a merchant in that city informed him, that the September packet had arrived at Halifax, and had brought intelligence of peace between England and France.
An arrival at the southward from Bourdeaux, is reported to corroborate the foregoing information. Messrs. Girard, Lownes, and Connelly, the visiting committee, have been induced from the favorable situation of the hospital, to resign their functions, and in future to discontinue their daily visits to that place.
The several officers of the treasury department are returned to the city, and again opened at the usual places. As also those of the war department.
Sylvanus Bourne, esq. consul general to the Batavian Republic, with his lady, sailed from Chester on Sunday last, in the ship Phoenix for Amsterdam.
The board of health of Baltimore, have reported, that not one death occurred in all that city, Fell's point included, during the 24 hours ending the 28th inst. at sun rise.
ON the fifteenth of December 1797, if fair, if not, on the next fair day I shall attend with the commissioners appointed by the court of Nelson county, at William Keith's, about two miles from Germantown, in order to take the depositions of witnesses and perpetuate testimony respecting certain calls in an entry of 750 acres made in the name of John Clarke, on a treasury warrant, including an improvement made by Patrick Jordan, at two springs—and do such other acts as may be deemed necessary and according to law.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, November 22.
The wars on the continent of Europe (says a French paper) are for the present drawing to a close. Whether a permanent peace (which humanity wishes and philosophy prescribes) will take place, is a problem of difficult solution. It is rather to be presumed, that while a remnant of monarchy, or the monarchical principle, exists among mankind, the miserable system of blood and warfare will prevail in an exact ratio to the continuance of that absurd scheme of governing mankind.—It remains to be seen, whether the efficacy of what is called a Republican Revolution, tending to the harmonization of man, will have at least, a preponderancy in the opposite scale. With us, who suffer ourselves to think, it is generally agreed, that the world is become old enough to be wise, and that mankind were not brought upon the stage of existence, to butcher each other for partial interests—to get the better of these things, the Republican principle of humanity and equality, will perhaps gradually prevail, through the influence of liberal education, truly such; and not an education of deception and fraud, which engenders aristocracy, and all that is degrading to man.
A NATURAL CURIOSITY.
In the Otsego Herald, printed at Cooperstown of the 5th inst. is a description of a Snake seen in Young's Lake. "There seemed," says the describer, "to be a spear, or a horn that grew out between his eyes, three square, and much resembling about four inches of the point of a bayonet, with a yellow ring around his neck, to appearance about an inch wide—I then drew up my pole and advanced towards him; when I came within about three rods, he began to unwind—He lay quirked three times round the heap which after taking a fishing line from my pocket, and measuring round the heap I found to be fifteen feet."
His colour was that of a common water snake, his body was as large as a man's thigh; he has been heard to make a noise in the Lake, for about two years past, and no one ever pretended to form any idea what it was for his voice resembles nothing that I can give you any idea of better than to suppose a large log to be fifteen feet in length and hollow at one end, and sound at the other; a blow with an axe on the hollow end and immediately echoed at the sound end, immitates his voice more than anything that I can describe.
From the Farmer's Weekly Museum.
COMMON SENSE IN DISHABILLE.
"Every one to his trade."
What shall a man do who has no trade?—Learn one. Every one need not be a mechanic; but let every body have some honest employment, understand their business, "stick to their trade," and let other people's affairs alone. This is the way to grow rich and live happy.
When I go into a barber's shop, and hear Mr. Tonfor, whose information extends but little beyond the end of his sign pole, prattle politics, puff the French Directory, and legislate for the American Congress, I say to myself, "every one to his trade." A wig and a constitution, are very different things; a man may be quite a connoisseur in one and very ignorant in the other—Tonfor's tongue proves this, as fully as a "strong argument chain."
The industrious farmer or mechanic, who are not content with small and sure gain, should remember, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." After they have tried their dear experiments in merchandise, horse jockeying or land speculation, they will have reason to lament their not adhering to my text. "Any trade is good if well followed." A man may make more at journeywork in a poor trade, that he is master of, than by an apprenticeship in better business that he is unacquainted with.
The lawyer harrangues for his clients, reads authorities, quotes precedents, refines, defines and splits hairs; says much that you don't understand, much that you are unable to contradict, and more that you don't believe: you hear him through from, "may it
please your honors," to "I submit to you, gentlemen of the jury," you approve of part: of the rest you only say, he is a lawyer, "every one to his trade."
But say, ignorance, prejudice and rogues, this is an unnecessary trade, a dishonest trade: hold friends; "all trades must live." While there are rogues, ignorance and prejudice, there must be laws, and while there are laws, there must be lawyers, or every body must leave their trade to study law: When two persons are at variance, they think very different of the merits of their cause; they tell different stories to their lawyers—both sides are sure of the cause—a lawyer is not a conjurer; he can't foretel what the witnesses will say—when they come before the court, out comes the truth against the unfortunate client: he loses his case; and makes amends by cursing the profession.—Deal fairly with your neighbours, tell the plain truth to your attorney, and you will have but little occasion to speak ill of the lawyer's trade.
HAMBURG, July 27.
A pamphlet has been spread with profusion through Germany under the title of an authentic account of the treatment of La Fayette and his family at Olmutz, by Lorenz Leopold Hasenkatz. It has been sent under the Imperial seal, and supported by the sanction of the Austrian government. The object of the pamphlet is to justify the treatment of the prisoners detained at Olmutz, which with Mr. de Stahrenberg, the emperor's ambassador in England, the author calls the retreat of M. de la Fayette.
The writer sets in opposition to what he calls the unfaithful picture of the situation of the prisoners at Olmutz, an official account by the governor of that prison—at every word, he called to our memory what the governor of the Bastille used to say to Linguet, "Well sir; what have you to complain of are not you served in plate?" It would be highly useless to discuss the subject of that account: there was a very plain manner of obviating every objection, and, as they give a very circumstantial account of the good treatment which the prisoners experience, of the dimensions and comforts (agreements) of their prison: why do not they present us at the same time with the signatures of La Fayette, La Tour Maubourg, and Bureau de Puzy, at the bottom of their account? Why, have not they obtained from them an assurance, that it is not a rigorous captivity of five long years, to the absolute want of exercise, to an infected and pestilential air, &c. that they attribute the shattered state of their health, their rheumatism, spitting of blood, and the loss of their teeth and hair.
But, in short, what can be the meaning of such an account, published nearly five weeks after the arrest of the Directors in favour of these three French citizens. What has the dimensions of their doors and windows to do with that arrest, or is that the answer they intend giving? Is it not very strange that this official act dated the 23d April, should still be without execution the 27th of June.
Aft the Austrian ministers, if the emperor has congratulated madame de la Fayette on her reunion with her husband, and on her being able to travel with him after the conclusion of peace (de pouvoir voyager avec lui a la paix.) Aft these ministers, whether they pretend to reconcile the public to this agreeable retreat of La Fayette, whether they imagine that the secret motive of such a long detention has not been dived into, and that nobody has courage enough to reveal it; and whether they are still waiting until humanity and wise policy rise again their eloquent voice from amidst the legislative body of France, as they have already done from amidst the legislators of England and America, to claim the liberty of these first apostles and martyrs of French liberty, &c. &c.—(Nouvelles politiques.)

THE GREAT REPUBLIC,
Or Land of Love and Liberty.
By THOMAS PAINE
HAIL Great Republic of the world, The rising empire of the West; Where fam'd Columbus with a mighty mind Inspir'd, Gave tortured Europe scenes of rest. Be thus forever, for ever Great & Free, The Land of Love and Liberty.
Beneath thy spreading mantling vine, Beside thy flow'ry groves and springs; And on thy lofty, thy lofty mountains brow, May all thy sons and fair ones sing. Chorus, &c.
From thee may rudest nations learn, To prize the cause thy sons began; From thee may future, may future tyrants know, That sacred are the Rights of Man. Chorus, &c.
From thee may hated discord fly, With all her dark, her gloomy train; And o'er thy fertile, thy fertile wide domain. May everlasting friendship reign. Chorus, &c.
Of thee may lisping infancy. The pleasing wondrous story tell; And patriot sages in venerable mood, Instruct the world to govern well. Chorus, &c.
Ye guardian Angels watch around, From harms protect the new-born state; And all ye friendly, ye friendly nations join, And thus salute the Child of Fate. Be thou forever, forever Great & Free, The Land of Love and Liberty.
ANECDOE.
A beggar (an impostor by the by) was standing by the side of a river where a ferry was kept, and petitioned a gentleman for just charity enough to pay his fare to the other side of the river; assuring him that he had been a prisoner among the Indians, from whom he had received several cruel wounds in the head, &c. all which he pretended to shew, to excite commiseration in the credulous. The gentleman soon perceived the whole story to be fiction, and that the fellow was imposing on the public.—However, to get rid of importunity, and weary of hearing lies, he gave him six pence—that will not do sir (said the beggar, in a rage) the ferrage is a shilling—six pence will only take me half way over!—Well then (said the other very calmly) you are got to the middle of the river, jump over board and go the d——l.

The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass unanswered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me.—If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning compliance, would resent it as I do.
