The Supervisor of Revenue for the district of Ohio, being advised that suggestions have been made, that large sums of money have been receiv- ed by the officers of revenue in this district, which have not been account- ed for at the treasury; and know- ing that none has come to his hands which has not been accounted for; finds himself under the necessity of a- gain 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 respect- ive accounts and pay in their respect- ive collections, which, if they should omit, he is charged forthwith to pro- secute as delinquents, and shall pro- ceed accordingly.

Supervisor's Office, 22d April, 1797. BEING assured of legal assistance, the Supervisor of revenue for the dis- trict of Ohio, has it in charge from the Treasury department, to make a strenuous effort to enforce the collec- tion of the duties arising from distil- led spirits, stills, &c. and is instruct- ed that the first demands ought to be made of those delinquents whose ex- ample 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 1796, the Super- visor ought to settle with them on these terms, without coercing the pe- nalities, or the former arrears. If however opposition is made to a com- promise 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 in- fluential non-compliers with the law, suits ought to be commenced against this class of men generally; with re- spect to men of inferior consideration and influence, suits may be suspended until further instructions are receiv- ed. And it is farther particularly recommended,—that the Supervisor carry the preceding plan of oper- ations into a prompt and complete ex- ecution, in a frank, candid, and con- ciliating spirit, by himself and his collectors."
To which the Supervisor takes this occasion to add,—that as temperance and forbearance have ever been pri- mary considerations with him in the execution of his office; it is with plea- sure 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 ne- cessity of enforcing the execution of the law, against all opposition.

LONDON, March 8.
The late bank have agreed to issue dollars at 4s. 9d. each, instead of 4s. 6d. as at first proposed. The number which they mean to issue amounts to 400,000. On Sunday 80,000 were stamped at the mint. The mark is the King's head, which is placed on the King of Spain's neck.
We have to state upon the authority of letters from Peterburgh, (and we believe that government were put in possession of the fact by the last messenger that arrived from Sweden) the very important intelligence, that another naval armed neutrality is forming in the North, of which Russia is to be the head, and to furnish the largest quota of ships.
From the same source we are also informed, that under the mediation of Prussia, a commercial treaty is negotiating between Russia and the French republic, and that the partial admission of French commodities into the Russian ports, is to be looked upon as a preliminary measure, which is to be followed by greater privileges.
This morning, capt. Halliwell, late of the Congreaves of 74 guns, which was lost near Gibraltar, arrived at the admiralty with dispatches from Sir John Jervis—After completely refitting his fleet and prizes, Sir John Jervis sailed from Lagos Bay on the 23d, and arrived at Lisbon on the 25th or 26th ult.
Sir John Jervis has been joined by the Zealous of 74 guns, which makes his fleet 16 sail of the line—The report of the capture of the Santissima Trinidad, the Spanish admiral's ship, is not confirmed.
The Spanish fleet is still cruising to the westward of St. Vincent's, it is supposed, to protect the very rich convoy coming home from South America. This convoy is valued at ten millions sterling; and one ship alone is said to have twelve millions of dollars on board.
The Dutch fleet returned to the Texel on Friday last.
March 9.
The circulation of Mr. Erskine's pamphlet is beyond all example, in rapidity and extent. It has come to the tenth edition on the seventh day of its publication! The moderation and temper which he employs in the clear review of the origin and principles of the war, recommend his work to men of all descriptions. The analysis is sunshine. It is impossible to reject the demonstration; and the argument which he draws from the premises, first, for a complete change of the system upon which the war has been carried on, and afterwards for a reform of the abuses that gave rise to it, is irresistible. Seasonably to act upon the impressions of this pamphlet would be to give us even yet a chance for salvation.
The Directory, desirous of putting the French armies on a respectable footing for the next campaign, has given orders for all the military to join their respective corps before the 19th of March at farthest.
The Hamburg mail, due on Wednesday, arrived yesterday—The archduke Charles has commenced his military career with success, in having defeated the advanced guard of the French army commanded by general Massena; after which his royal highness proceeded to Vienna to consult on a plan of operations.
The recent success which attended the operations of the archduke Charles in the Tyrolese, has as expected, arrested Buonaparte in his progress to Rome. Previous to this, the republic general dismissed the envoy of the Pope unheard, declaring, that in the capital alone would he treat with his Holiness. On receiving, however, advice of the offensive movements of the Austrians, and possibly calculating on some opposition from the command of general Colli, he listened to the renewed proposals of the Pope, and concluded a hasty peace.
A court of common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall, when the thanks of the court were unanimously voted to Sir John Jervis, K. B. and to all the admirals, officers, seamen, mariners, and soldiers in the fleet on the 14th of February—a sword, value 2000 guineas was also voted to Sir John Jervis; and the freedom of the city, in gold boxes, value 100 guineas each, and to all the admirals in the fleet, and to commodore Nelson.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday arrived this morning, but at so late
an hour, that we are forced to confine ourselves to the following short account of the intelligence brought by it.
It appears from the Vienna court Gazette of the 12th of February, that the archduke Charles arrived at Vienna in the evening of the 20th, from the head quarters of the army of Italy. It is supposed that the object of his return is to confer with the emperor & his ministers, on the operations to be entered on, and to give information of the actual situation of the army.
Accounts from Botzen, of the 28th of February, state, that the archduke Charles before he left the army, had gained a considerable advantage in an action with the advanced posts of gen. Massena. 700 wounded were brought into Trent.
All the letters from Tyrol, down to the 18th February, mention, that the Austrians still keep acting upon the defensive.
The king of Naples continues to observe the strictest neutrality.
The French have formed an army of 18,000 on the frontiers of Geneva.
Letters from Frankfort of the 15th ult. state the triumphal entry of Buonaparte at Rome; little credit, however, was given to this rumour.
Letters from Callsruhe of the 23d ult. state, that great apprehensions are entertained in that quarter of the French effecting the passage of the Rhine. They have collected upwards of 30,000 men between Spire, Neustadt, and Landau.
An association of members of parliament, has been formed for the purpose of effecting a diminution of the national expenditure, and the attainment of a speedy peace.
Three meetings have already been held; the first on Wednesday, the third yesterday morning. Several resolutions have been entered into, of which the following are the principal:
1st. Resolved, That in the present critical state of the country, every possible measure be taken to promote a more economical expenditure of public money.
2d. That every effort be made to an immediate restoration of peace.
The number of members who compose this association amounts already to thirty-five; they are principally country gentlemen. We applaud the motives upon which this association is stated to have been formed; though we must be permitted to express some surprise, that the members of it have not openly joined those who have uniformly opposed the war in parliament. We ardently hope, however, that it may not only reduce the expenditure under which we groan, and restore the blessings of peace for which we pant, but that it may drive an incapable minister from the post which he has too long held. Yet surely the people must now see, that if they were true to themselves, it would not be necessary for this set of men, or that, to unite for the purpose of rescuing the country from perdition, because it would be impossible for any minister to dare to adopt such systems and schemes as would bring the country into difficulty, danger, and disgrace.
TYROL, Feb. 9.
Among the corps of Vienna volunteers, which were made prisoners by the French on the 10th of January, near Mantua, were above 100 young noblemen of the first Austrian families. General Buonaparte has reviewed this fine corps, and said to the volunteers, "Your bravery does you honour." Among them is the young prince Paar, and Count Montecuculi. To the latter Buonaparte returned his sword, and restored him to liberty.
NEW-YORK, May 3.
A gentleman lately from France, Belgium and Holland, informs, that many Americans in France are deeply concerned in privateering, and was king fortunes rapidly, but mostly men who left their country in desperate circumstances, and insinuated hostile to the United States. So totally lost to all sense of patriotism and so traitorous in their hearts, that some of them have objected to drink general Washington at table!!! In one instance, a Dutch gentleman, with a number of Americans of different sentiments at his table, gave gen. Washington as a toast, but made an apology, for fear of offending some present. Our informant had the spirit to tell the company, if any Americans should
make objections to the toast, he would leave the table.
These circumstances are noted to prove how depraved men can become thus to desert their country, and that these beggarly fugitives from their creditors, may be among the instruments employed to work up the French nation into hostility to the United States.
BALTIMORE, May 2.
Arrived yesterday, the schooner Vulpus, capt. Hall, 32 days from Aux-Cayes. On his passage was captured by a British sloop of war and carried into Cape Nicholas Mole, where he was detained two days, and dismissed, but lay there 13 days waiting for a convoy. Capt. Hall saw 6 British men of war off the Capes.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5.
Thomas Muir, whose arrival and detention at the Havannah lately excited some curiosity, has sailed for Spain on board of a frigate; it appears that soon after he landed on the Western coast of America, from New-Holland, that he was received with the greatest courtesy and attention by the Spanish settlers, and that he was accompanied through his whole journey, by several persons who appeared uncommonly attentive to provide him with accommodation and necessaries, and it was not till his arrival at Vera Cruz that he discovered in those who had been thus attentive, persons employed by the administration to watch his conduct scrupulously, and penetrate into his purposes; upon his arrival at Vera Cruz he was desirous of proceeding over land to the Northward, in order to obtain a passage from thence to the United States, and then it was, that for the first time, he was restrained from pursuing his route according to his inclinations, and obliged to embark on board a man of war, by which he was conveyed to Havannah.
By the Schooner Dick, capt. Brown, arrived yesterday at this port, after a passage of 21 days from the Island of Trinidad, intelligence is received of the English having attacked Porto Rico. The captain informs, that he saw a fleet of ships of war consisting of 12 vessels, cannonading the town. The port for some time seemed to return the fire with great warmth, and several of the besieged vessels were shattered in their rigging, but from the fires ceasing about three hours afterwards, there is every reason to presume that the place had surrendered.
A letter from Stockholm says, K. O. ciokko is on his way to America, with a number of his friends. He accepted from the emperor money to enable him to defray the expence of the voyage; but declined the offer of a tract of land and the pension of six thousand roubles.
Our letters from Hamburg received this day, state, that the emperor of Russia has repealed many of the laws of the late empress—a new coinage in Russia is determined on.
On Wednesday last the president of the United States recognized Richard Soderstrom, Esq. as consul general of his Swedish majesty within the United States of America.
We are informed from respectable authority, that the president has acknowledged Don Joseph Ignacio de Viar as consul general from his most Catholic majesty, to the United States.
We understand that Don Joseph Ignacio de Viar, is appointed commissioner on the part of his most Catholic majesty, to settle the claims of the merchants of the United States, for the detention and confiscation of their vessels in Spanish ports, during the late war between the kingdom of Spain and republic of France.
The American commissioner, to act in the business, is Matthew Clarkson, Esq. of this city.
By the Hector, capt. Horsborough, arrived yesterday from Jamaica, letters have been received in this city, which state, that in consequence of the alarming advices of the state of public credit in England, government bills had suffered a depreciation of 16 per cent.
The above circumstance is the more remarkable, because such bills in times of war have been usually more in request than cash, from their convenience in remittances; during the war of our revolution, they were at par
and since the peace of 1783 up to the present year, they were always from 8 to 15 above par.
NEW-HAVEN, April 26.
The following information may be relied on, as being derived from a respectable and authentic source.
The Bishop of Autun, who resided some time in this country, under the name of Talleyard Perigord, has informed the Directory of France, that they need not regard the United States, any more than the little State of Genoa, or Geneva; as our divisions have weakened us down to nothing, in point of strength, and exertion as a nation; and that there would probably soon be a revolution here, which would tend to throw us entirely into the French scale; as the partisans of France were increasing, and would soon turn out of the government all the Washington party, all of whom were in the British pay.
In this information he was joined by almost all the Americans who were before in France, or have since gone to that country.
In the meantime, the French party on this side of the Atlantic, are continually exciting the French government to acts of hostility against the United States, and are so desperately determined to destroy the British treaty, as to be willing, for the accomplishment of that purpose, to risk our independence, and even our national existence. [Jersey State Gaz.]
TRENTON, May 2.
The merchants of Nantucket have come to a determination to send out no more whaling ships, in consequence of the precarious situation of American affairs.
The fabricated letter signed Hoche, which was made the subject of a communication from the French Consul at Boston, was extracted originally (so says the editor of the New-York Gazette) from the Whitehall Evening Post.
PITTSBURGH, May 13.
On Friday the 5th inst. a violent tornado came down the Monongahela river, with irresistible fury, above the mouth of Dunlap's creek. It laid bare the bottom of the river, and mixed the flood with the clouds. At that place it took its direction to the right bank, and swept Brownstown. Several houses were blown down, and the roofs of others carried off to a great distance. Some individuals were wounded—The blast lasted about four minutes. Planks lying on the ground were lifted, and carried like leaves of trees in the air—Some cattle were killed. It is not yet known to what distance the hurricane continued, or what farther damage was done.
At a meeting of the Journey-men Hatters of this place, on Wednesday evening last, for the purpose of forming themselves into a society to raise a fund for the support of any of their profession, who may not be able to get immediate employment.
Resolved that every month the members shall pay a stipulated sum to their secretary, for the above purpose.
Resolved that we do not work for any person or persons, who may have been or may be known, to make use of another man's name in disposing of hats, or contrary to all principles of fair dealing, to charge workmen six days to a week, in settling with them for their board.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday May 24, 1797.
Capt. Guion with two companies of Infantry and one of artillery, failed some time ago to take command of the garrison at Natchez; but if the report be true, and we have very little reason to doubt it, that the Spaniards are strengthening their garrison there, some apprehensions may be entertained of hostilities commencing, if they refuse to give the garrison up.
[Herald.]
Away from me ye croaking Ravens! (Says a writer in a late daily paper) Fly far from hence, thou party babler! Sweetly smiling peace, and heavenly liberty have laid the lasting foundation of their temple here. The beneficence of Providence has decreed that Freedom and the Muses shall establish their happy empire in Columbia's genial soil.
How delightful is the soft melodious voice of harmony! Like the smoothly gliding stream, it sooths the mind to serenity and ease. The pleasing accents of benevolence awake each finer feeling of the heart; each gentle fibre vibrates to the sound; each tender chord becomes attuned to virtue and to happiness.
Ye who delight in war—Ye who can solace yourselves with spectacles of blood and misery! Reflect—ah! for a single moment think—how much ye have to lose, how little to acquire. Banish then, far from you the hated field of discord—let the smiling chequer of humanity establish his dominion within your breasts.
Who is it that brings the evil tidings of hostilities? Who has blasted the trump of destruction through our streets? What evil spirit shall summon the people to the field of battle before their country's good requires it?
Who will be so hard to assert that war is certain and inevitable? Who so wicked to inflame the public mind with anger and resentment? When the evil day arrives we shall gird ourselves with the armour of justice and fortitude—but until then, we will not be put to the torture upon the wanton rack of anticipation. Until then, Hence, loathed melancholy!
O! Cerberus and blackest midnight born,
In Stygian cave forlorn,
Midst horrid shapes, and shrieks,
and fights unholy;
Find out some uncouth cell,
Where brooding darkness spreads
his jealous wings,
And the night Ravens sings—
There, under Ebon shades and low
browl rocks,
As ragged as thy locks,
In dark Cimmerian deserts ever

MR. BRADFORD:
AS I understand some things are suggested injurious to my character respecting an uncommon lot of paper made in my mill, I think it necessary to observe, that a stranger applied for paper, as near as I can describe, of the colour and thickness of the white wrappers on my reams of paper, rather thicker than our common printing paper, and by no means resembling any bank bills now in circulation that I have seen; a sample of which paper I herewith send you, and may also be seen at my house in Geo. Town. He requested no secrecy—the paper was made and finished without my presence, and that publicly, which can be proved by several. I am ready to make any kind of paper that can be made in my mill, in the same public manner, for those who will give me a good price—but will keep no secrets. I privately have sent a sheet of the paper to North Carolina, where I have had some reasons to believe it is intended to be used. The paper was stole out of the mill, but I had previously got the worth of it in hand before it was begun.

Note Bene. Those who have been entrusted with Tickets to sell, are desired to settle, and account therefor, on or before the first day of June next.
Mr. Bradford,
I WISH to inform those gentlemen who have been so kind as to purchase of my paper, and the public in general, that I am under the disagreeable necessity of raising the price of that article; because, the rags which are collected by my rag-man, costs me about fifty per cent. more than they did when the prices were first established. The price of labour and other things necessary for prosecuting the business are also higher. The extreme difficulty of the seasons, the works standing long idle and dry, occasions loss of time and great expense in repairing;—For these reasons hope the public will be reconciled to the present prices, and continue the encouragement they have hitherto given to so useful a factory.

PROPOSALS
For Publishing by subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws; than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS.
 This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised.  The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number.  The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the Second will be delayed until the revival is finished.  If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed.  Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra. 
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials.
JOHN BRADFORD.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SPRING.
A SONG AND CHORUS. THE birds sweetly carrol, spring leads up the year, And trips it away with the light footed hours: In spite of bleak winter, that frowns in the rear, She wakes as she passes her blossoms and flow'rs.
CHORUS. Then smile with the season, Ye children of reason, Her blessings let nature impart; Of sorrow beware, The winter is care, But joy is the spring of the heart.
While nature thus scatters her fragrance around, Enchants with her music the forest and grove; Embroiders with daisies the green velvet ground, And brings forth the season of rapture and love. Then smile with the season, &c.
New life should flow briskly and dance in the veins, As it shoots thro' the fibres of plant and of tree; The warmth of kind nature has broke Winter's chain's, And bids all creation be happy and free! Then smile with the season, &c.
As a frost, wicked frost, may the blossoms destroy, Lay waste in a night the fair hopes of the day; So the heart may be nipp'd, and be dead to all joy; To gust-blighted bosoms, 'tis winter in May. Then smile with the season, &c.
Ye daughters of — let natures own hand Spread the rose on the cheek, give the glance to the eye; In the gay round of pleasures let prudence command, Nor think it too low to be merry and wise. Then smile with the season, &c.
When spring is too forward, 'tis nipp'd in the bloom, The bud and the blossom is blighted and dies; So youth in her beauty may meet the same doom, Then be not too forward—be merry and wise. Then smile with the season, &c.
ANECDOTE.
When Spencer had finished his famous poem of the Fairy Queen, he carried it to the earl of Southampton the great patron of the poets of those days. The manuscript being sent to the earl, he read a few pages, and ordered his servant to give the writer 20l. Reading on (he cried in rapture,) 'carry that man another 20l.' Perusing till, he said, 'Give him 20l. more.' — But at length he lost all patience, and said, 'Go turn that fellow out of the house, for if I read on I shall be ruined.'
