A singular examination, Before a certain Justice of the Peace, lately in England.
Justice. WHAT have you to al- lege against the prisoner?
Accuser. Please your worship's grace, I am come to prosecute him on the dog act.
Prisoner. 'Tis a false charge— I never stole a dog in all my born days; and if any one should dare to say I did, I would tell him he was a galarous liar to his face.
Accuser. I say you are one of the most noted dog stealers in En- gland; and I can prove as how you stole my bitch.
Tri. As to my stealing a few bitches now and then, I don't pre- tend to deny. It is better to pick up a little money in an honest em- ployment like that, than to lounge about like an idle vagabond.— There is no harm at all in stealing bitches.
Just. I believe, fellow, I shall convince you to the contrary.
Tri. You must not pretend to tell me law better than I know it. I was bred to the crown law, and served a regular clerkship to it a- mong my brethren in the neighbor- hood of Chick lane. I think I should have made a figure, if I had been called to the bar.
Just. Then you will shortly have an opportunity of shining in your sphere.
Tri. I should have been hang- ed many fellows ago, if so be as I had not been clever in turning and twining the acts of Parliament. I have not studied law for nothing. Lord bless your dear worship's eyes, I have made the most learned judges going, knock under to me.—When I came to explain an indenteate what law was, they hung down their ears, looked foolish, and had not a word to say for themselves.
Just. Have not you stole the man's bitch.
Tri. I have. Just. Then I shall convict you in the penalty of forty pounds.
Tri. I have carefully perused the act of Parliament, and defy you, or any other dealer in the peace to hurt a hair of my head. You must not pretend to teach those that can teach you. I knows a thing or two, and if you don't mind what you are about, you may perhaps, catch cold.
Just. If you threaten me I shall commit you.
Tri. You had better commit for- nication.
Just. Is not a bitch a dog?
Tri. Is not your wife a justice of the peace? Your worship won't pretend to say now that a cow is a bull?
Just. I insist upon it that, ac- cording to the true spirit of the statute, a dog and a bitch is exact- ly the same thing.
Tri. I dare you to convict me on the statute of 10 G. 3. The word bitch is not so much as men- tioned in it. I had the opinion of my brethren upon this gig, and bl- st me if I don't steal as many bitches as I come near, spite of all the old women in the commission.
Just. If you call me an old woman again I'll trounce you.
Tri. Read that and be convin- ced [Presenting to the Justice the act of parliament against dog steal- ing.]
Just. [After having read the act] Discharge this fellow—I shall not venture to commit him.
Tri. Lord help the poor law- makers, they always leave a hole for a man of genius to creep out of! If they have a mind to make their acts binding, they must con- sult one of us knowing ones, who are up to a thing or two, which is more than you are.
Exeunt severally.
DEPARTMENT OF WAR.
January 27th, 1795.
SIR, I HAVE the honor to transmit
to you, a copy of the treaty con- cluded with the Six Nations of In- dians at Konondaigua, on the ele- venth day of last November; by which you will see, that the tem- porary obstacles of the establish- ment formerly contemplated by the state of Pennsylvania at Presq' Isle are removed.
I am with great respect
Sir,
Your most obedient servant.
T. PICKERING.
Secretary of War.
The governor of } Pennsylvania. }
GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States of A- merica.
To all to whom these presents shall come, G R E A T I N C.
WHEREAS a treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America, and the tribes of Indians called the Six Na- tions, was made and concluded on the eleventh day of November last, by Timothy Pickering, the agent of the United States for that pur- pose, appointed on the one part, and the Chiefs and Warriors of the Six Nations on the other part; which treaty is in the form and words following:
"A treaty between the United States of America and the tribes of Indians called the Six Nations.
The President of the United States having determined to hold a conference with the Six Nations of Indians, for the purpose of re- moving from their minds all caus- es of complaint, and establishing a firm and permanent friendship with them; and Timothy Pickering being appointed sole agent for that purpose; and the agent having met and conferred with the Sachems, Chiefs and Warriors of the Six Nations, in a general council: Now in order to accom- plish the good design of this con- ference, the parties have agreed on the following articles, which, when ratified by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, of the United States, shall be binding on them and the Six Nations.
Article I. Peace and friendship are hereby firmly established, and shall be perpetual, between the U- nited States and the Six Nations.
Article II. The United States acknowledge the lands reserved to the Oneida, Onondago and Cayu- ga Nations, in their respective treaties with the state of New- York, and called their reservati- ons, to be their property; and the United States will never claim the same, nor disturb them or either of the Six Nations, nor their Indian friends residing thereon and unit- ed with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof; but the said reservations shall remain theirs, until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States who have the right to purchase.
Article III. The land of the Se- neca Nation is bounded as follows: Beginning on Lake Ontario, at the northwest corner of the land they sold to Oliver Phelps, the line runs westwardly along the lake, as far as O-Yong-Wong Yeh creek, at Johnson's landing place, about four miles eastward from the fort of Niagara; then southwardly up that creek to its main fork, then straight to the main fork of Stedman's creek, which empties into the river Niagara above fort Schlosser, and then onward from that fork, continuing the the same straight course, to that river; (this line from the mouth of O- Yong-Wong Yeh creek to the river Niagara above fort Schlosser, be- ing the eastern boundary of a strip of land, extending from the same land to Niagara river, which the Seneca nation ceded to the king of Great Britain, at a treaty held about thirty years ago with Sir William Johnson;) then the line
runs along the river Niagara to lake Erie; then along lake Erie to the northeast corner of a trian- gular piece of land which the U- nited States conveyed to the state of Pennsylvania, as by the Presi- dent's patent, dated the third of March 1792, then due south to the northern boundary of that state; then due east to the southwest cor- ner of the land sold by the Se- neca nation to Oliver Phelps; and then northwardly, along Phelps's line, to the place of be- ginning on lake Ontario.
NOW the United States ac- knowledge all the land within the aforementioned boundaries to be the property of the Seneca nation; and the United States will never claim the same, nor disturb the Se- neca nation, nor any of the Six Nations or of their Indian friends residing thereon and united with them, in the free use and enjoy- ment thereof, but it shall remain theirs until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States who have the right to pur- chase.
Article IV. The United States having thus described and acknow- ledged what lands belong to the Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas and Senecas, and engaged never to claim the same, nor to disturb them or any of the six nations, or their Indian friends residing thereon & united with them, in the free use & enjoyment thereof: Now the Six nations and each of them hereby engage that they will never claim any other lands within the bound- aries of the United States, nor ever disturb the people of the United States, in the free use and enjoy- ment thereof.
Article V. The Seneca nation, & all others of the six nations con- curring, cede to the United States the right of making a waggon road from fort Schlosser to lake E- rie, as far south as Buffalo creek; and the people of the United States shall have the free and undistur- bed use of this road, for the purpo- ses of traveling and transportation. And the Six Nations will forever allow to the people of the United States a free passage through their lands, and the free use of the har- bors and rivers adjoining and with- in their respective tracts of land, for the passing and securing of vessels and boats, and liberty to land their cargoes when necessary for their safety.
Article VI. In consideration of the peace and friendship hereby established, and of the engagements entered into by the Six Nations; and because the United States de- sire, with humanity and kindness, to contribute to their comfortable support, and to render the peace and friendship hereby established, strong and perpetual; the United States now deliver to the Six Na- tions and the Indians of the other nations residing among and united with them, a quantity of goods of the value of ten thousand dollars. And for the same considerations and with a view to promote the future welfare of the Six Nations and their indian friends aforesaid, the United States will add the sum of three thousand dollars to the one thousand five hundred dollars heretofore allowed them by an ar- ticle ratified by the President on the twenty-third day of April 1792; making the whole four thousand five hundred dollars; which shall be expended yearly forever, in purchasing cloathing, domestic an- imals, implements of husbandry, and other utensils suited to their circumstances, and in compen- sating useful artificers who shall re- side with or near them, and be em- ployed for their benefit. The im- mediate application of the whole annual allowance now stipulated, to be made by the superintend- ant appointed by the president for the affairs of the Six Nations and their Indian friends aforesaid.
Article VII. Lest the firm peace
and friendship now established should be interrupted by the mis- conduct of individuals, the United States and Six Nations agree, that for injuries done by individuals, on either side, no private revenge or re-aliation shall take place; but instead thereof, complaint shall be made by the party injured to the other: by the Six Nations or any of them, to the president of the United States, or the superintend- ant, by him appointed, and by the superintendent or other person appointed by the president, to the principal chiefs of the Six Nations, or of the nation to which the of- fender belongs; and such prudent measures shall then be pursued as shall be necessary to preserve our peace and friendship unbroken; until the legislature (or great council) of the United States shall make other equitable provision for the purpose.
Note. It is clearly understood by the parties to this treaty, that the annuity stipulated in the sixth article is to be applied to the bene- fit of such of the Six Nations and of their Indian friends, united with them as aforesaid, as do or shall reside within the boundaries of the United States. For the U- nited States do not interfere with nations, tribes or families of Indi- ans elsewhere resident.
In witness whereof the said Ti- mothy Pickering and Sachems and War Chiefs of the Six Nations, have hereto set their hands and seals. Done at Kon- ondaigua in the state of New- York, the eleventh day of No- vember, in the year one thou- sand seven hundred and nine- ty-four.
TIMOTHY PICKERING. (L.S.)
[Here followed the signatures on the part of the Indian tribes (58 in number) together with the witnesses (12 in number) on the part of the United States.]
NOW KNOW YE, that I hav- ing seen and considered the said treaty, do by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States, accept, ratify and confirm the same, and every article and clause thereof. In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed, and signed the same with my hand.

They have already captured and condemned several Danish and some American vessels. Their privateers are numerous and mischievous, and notwithstanding that each British island has at the public expence fitted out privateers to check them, their numbers and depredations encrease.

L A W OF THE UNITED STATES
An act to establish an uniform rule of naturalization; and to repeal the act heretofore passed on that subject.
FOR carrying into compleat effect, the power given by the constitution, to establish an uniform rule of naturalization throughout the United States:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and house of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that any alien being a free white person, may be admitted to become a citizen of the United States or any of them, on the following conditions, and not otherwise:
First. He shall have declared on oath or affirmation, before the supreme, superior, district or circuit court of some one of the states, or of the territories northwest or south of the river Ohio, or a circuit or district court of the United States, three years at least before his admission, that it was bona fide, his intention to become a citizen of the United States, and to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever, and particular by name the prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whereof such alien may at the time, be a citizen or subject.
Secondly. He shall, at the time of his application to be admitted, declare on oath or affirmation, before some one of the courts aforesaid, that he has resided within the United States, five years at least; and within the state or territory, where such court is at the time held, one year at least; that he will support the constitution of the United States; and that he doth absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, whereof he was before a citizen or subject; which proceedings shall be recorded by the clerk of the court.
Thirdly. The court admitting such alien, shall be satisfied that he has resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States five years; and it shall further appear to their satisfaction, that during that time, he has behaved as a man of a good moral character, attached to the principles of the constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same.
Fourthly. In case the alien applying to be admitted to citizenship shall have borne any hereditary title, or been of any of the orders of nobility, in the kingdom or state from which he came, he shall in addition to the above requisites, make an express renunciation of his title or order of nobility, in the court to which his application shall be made; which renunciation shall be recorded in the said court.
Sec. 2. Provided always, and be it further enacted, that any alien now residing within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States, may be admitted to become a citizen on his declaring on oath or affirmation, in some one of the courts aforesaid, that he has resided two years at least, within and under the jurisdiction of the same, and one year at least, within the state or territory where such court is at the time held; that he will support the constitution of the United States; and that he doth absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, whereof he was before a citizen or subject; and moreover on his appearing to the satisfaction of the court that during the said term of two years, he has behaved as a man of good

BOSTON, February 7.
We facilitate our readers and the public, on the uninterrupted successes of the French Republic. Our European papers are to the 3d of January last. For these registers of the most important intelligence to the cause of democratic republicanism, we are obliged to Capt. Chipman, of the Mary, from Lymington.
The horrors of war which the British Cabinet certainly meditated against the American Republic, have been happily prevented by a chain of victories in the Republican armies of France, to which no history can afford a parallel.
The confederacy of despots is now no more. Holland, the aid of Great Britain and the passive instrument of her ambition, or the subject of her keenest resentment, as in the case of her provision treaty with this country in our late war—Holland certainly, by this time is either reduced by the power of the French government, or has negotiated a separate peace. We hope the last—For we love the Dutch patriots, who have always befriended the Americans in the time of the calamities under the scourge of Great Britain.
As to Austria, Prussia and Spain, the report of the committees on the subject of peace, in this paper, shows the disposition of the French convention to be at peace with them.
Our old friend the King of England has made a (last) Speech, expressing hopes in a cause almost hopeless—
No comments on this official document, on our part, are therefore necessary. No particulars of the treaty of commerce and amity, are given in any of the papers yet received; though mention is made of it in the speech. We cannot therefore inform precisely what the articles in this treaty are—Reports by private letters at the southward say, the principle articles are, a surrender of the Western Posts, in eighteen months—a right to recover, bona fide debts in
either country—Commissioners to be appointed to adjust the principles of a free trade: to make report in two years, and American vessels under certain restrictions, to be admitted into the West India islands—but as we are not in possession of the treaty, we vouch not for the authenticity of the reports.
In France, all is quiet—the nation becomes more moderate, as its enemies are reduced in power.
The MARQUIS LA FAYETTE, we are happy to hear, has made his escape from his long confinement. It is said he intends coming to America.
We always predicted that the French would maintain their Republic; and they have maintained it. We always predicted that the fundamental principles of equality would be preserved. They vary their measures with the occasions which presents—but occasion is fugitive—whereas the Rights of man are eternal—We hope the Convention will be the rallying point of the nation, as long as the people approve of its conduct—when they do not, we doubt not, but some other expedient will be delusion.—At present we have every thing to hope, and little to fear for the cause of democratic republicanism. All other republicanism is a cheat, and the French and Americans know it.
Vive la Republique.
