CHARLESTON, July 27. We are informed, that on Friday last, John Rutledge Esq. received by poll, a commission, appointing him Chief Justice of the United States, in the room of John Jay Esq. resigned.
NEW-YORK, August 13. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated the 12th instant. Our last respects were by the Mail of yesterday—since which the President of the United States, returned from his seat in Virginia, and has this morning called together the Judges and his Council. They are now sitting and various reports are in circulation. It appears to us to be the prevailing opinion, that the times are critical—and that it is by no means improbable that our country will be involved in difficulties, some say an embargo will take place.
August 18. Yesterday failed for England, in the Thistle frigate, George Hammond, esquire late Minister of the British court to the United States. We hear he carries the treaty, with the ratification of the President.
Lexington, September 19. By a gentleman from Fort Washington, who left that place on Monday last, we are informed, that an officer of the United States Army, will immediately proceed with a flag to the new erected Spanish posts on the Mississippi within the boundaries of the United States. His business, it is said, is, to enquire what are the intentions of that nation, in making encroachments on the United States territory, &c.
By Col. Delay who is just returned from the mouth of Green river, we have the following important intelligence: A Mr. Palmer at Vienna, informed him, that his son had just returned from Lans le Grace, and had seen a detachment of Spaniards fortifying at the mouth of the Ohio within the limits of this state. This was corroborated by Mr. Tardiveau, (who has just returned from confinement amongst the Spaniards on suspicion of his being concerned in the late intended expedition against them) who saw preparations making at Natches, said to be intended for the above purpose. What, with constitutional and territorial encroachments tamely submitted to, we are likely to have little left. We expect the legislature of this state will be called shortly, for surely never was so critical as the present.
This intelligence is further confirmed by a gentleman immediately from Cumberland, who says, that some Chickasaws had arrived in that territory, who gave an exact statement as above recited. [Kent. Her.]

"I this day saw a gentlemen of the American Committee who had waited on Mr. Pitt in company with Mr. Samson; he says that Mr. Pitt assured them that the cargoes of all vessels brought in there, should be immediately paid for to the full amount of the invoice, & ten per cent. with demurrage and every other charge; that they should not go into a court of admiralty, but be settled by four respectable merchants of the city of London."
CHARLESTON, August 6.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Camden Packet, Flood, St. Mary's, two days.
Captain Flood informs, that on Saturday evening last two Spanish brigs, a schooner and a sloop, came into St. Mary's river from the Savannah, with a number of regular troops and militia, to dispossess some Frenchmen of Amelia island, where they had begun to throw up some small works; the Frenchmen, about forty in number, saw them time enough to make their escape to the main in their boats.
Captain Flood was detained by one of the brigs upwards of seven hours; he understood that an express had been sent from St. Augustine to the Savannah, to inform the governor of the French being in possession of Amelia, in consequence of which this armament was sent to drive them off.
One of the brigs carried 18 guns the other 16; the schooner capt. Flood understood to be the Mere Michel.
NORFOLK, August 12.
Last evening arrived here the Schooner Hannah, Capt. Grant, 20 days from St. Vincents. The captain informs that 15,000 troops have arrived at Guadalupe from France, about the first of July; under a strong convoy, that in consequence, all the ships of war at St. Vincents, except a twenty gun ship, had put to sea, to intercept a force they momentarily expected against the island; that the English had made an unsuccessful attack on St. Lucie, on the 10th of July; and that the French from St. Lucie are continually harassing the inhabitants of St. Vincents.
PHILADELPHIA, August 26.
The honourable Edmund Randolph Esq. has resigned the office of Secretary of State.
Died, on Sunday evening last, at his country seat, William Bradford Esq. Attorney General of the United States.

[Continued from our last.]
THE Lexington meeting proceeds, "Because, Jay has dared to cede and that to British subjects, a part of the American soil, and has moreover submitted the bounds of such cession to the discretion of the British king." Is this true? Far from it. There is nothing in the treaty which can justify it. If there is, let the meeting, or any one of them produce it.
Again, "Because the whole of the British debts with interest are saddled ultimately on the whole people of the United States; a thing not even asked for or expected by the most griping creditor." Surely this meeting imagined that the treaty was never read; or they could not have asserted things so grossly erroneous. The treaty of peace of 1783 having declared in article the fourth, "That creditors on either side shall meet with no lawful impediment, to the recovery of the full value in sterling money, of all bona fide debts heretofore contracted." And complaint having been made that in consequence of lawful impediments, contrary to that treaty, the British creditors had sustained losses and damages. This treaty provides, that the United States will make good such losses, and damages as were occasioned by such lawful impediments. And it provides for nothing more.
Again the meeting proceeds, "Because it (the treaty) has waived all claim for the value of the negroes plundered and carried off in violation of the treaty of 1783, to the total ruin of many of the owners." It is true, the treaty has not said a word about negroes. And this is the first time that I have heard, that any were plundered in violation of the treaty of 1783. But I imagine that such negroes and other property as were carried away contrary to that treaty may for any thing in this treaty, be the subject of further dispute—negotiation—or war—if a doubtful claim to twelve or fifteen hundred negroes, be worth either.
"But lastly and principally, because this government (of Great Britain) is and has long been totally destitute of that, without which, treaties become only plots and robberies, FAITH. Her magnanimity shews itself through the Indian's tomahawk and scalping knife; her friendship in the Algerine cruisers; and her truth, honesty and justice, in violating the treaty of 1783; detaining the posts, in her commercial regulations, and in her late robberies of the American vessels." This is but one side of the story. It is indeed "An astonishing concentration of abuses." The British it is probable would strike off the last letter of the word abuses —it would then stand abuse .
But "The alliance of such a corrupt, degenerate, and sinking government ought religiously to be avoided by the American people." Here then we have the secret; the clue to the rest of the politics of this meeting—WE SHOULD HAVE NO TREATY WITH ENGLAND. Let the people pause here, and imagine how those injuries so complained of, are to be redressed without a treaty—For myself, I confess I know but one other way—that is by reprisal, and war. What are the people of America to expect from war? Those who are intrusted with the government, are obliged well to weigh this question. It would be well for the people themselves to do so: Those who are no way accountable for what they say, or do, may clamor and abuse. But is it possible that the people of America—that the people of Kentucky—can be desirous of renewing those afflicting scenes of war which desolated the fair face of our common country for seven years? It seems to me impossible that they should.
It is surely the language of a faction only. It is surely the policy of certain individuals, who are enemies to the general government. They by misrepresentation of facts—by working on the passions of unsuspecting men—by sowing jealousy in their minds, and disaffecting them to that government and its friends; may precipitate the affairs of America, now the most flourishing, into a state of anarchy and confusion, the most distressing and ruinous—Nay, into a war, at once expensive, destructive and bloody. Let the people recollect that in any of those events they are to be the losers—it is the people who are to pay—bleed—and suffer. Consider this well, and then—JOIN THE OUTCRY.

August, 1795.
The Address of sundry inhabitants, free Citizens of the county of Clarke and State of Kentucky, at a meeting held on Tuesday the 8th day of September, 1795.
To GEO. WASHINGTON, President of the U. States of America.
The Petition and Remonstrance of the free Citizens of Clarke county (State of Kentucky) with deference, but with freedom and firmness.
MANIFESTETH:
THAT the late treaty concluded on at London with his Britannic majesty, by John Jay envoy extraordinary from the United States of America; is inimical to the rights, liberties, and dearest privileges of the citizens of the latter—in as much, as it cedes to Great Britain certain immunities and advantages, which no one nation upon earth has a right to demand of another, emancipated from its yoke. The specification of these, would be arrogance in us; we refer it to yourself.—But we ask: Has haughty Albion a right to withhold from us some of our most invaluable possessions and property, without making an indemnification? And then to add insult to injury, by her perfidious promises of future reparation? The indignacy of resentment for the loss of her American Colonies, has not yet cooled in her bosom. A series of conduct conspicuously pernicious to the interest of united America, has uniformly marked her councils, since the termination of the late war. And should you, sir, concur with the Senate in the signature of that treaty, our prognostication is, that western America is gone forever—lost to the union, and grasped by the voracious clutches of the insatiable and iniquitous George the third of Britain.—We, sir, would struggle, even in our expiring moments, to ward off so horrid an evil: yet we are terribly apprehensive, that the finesse, duplicity and intrigue of that satanically industrious government, will finally prevail.—The treaty likewise contravenes our compact with France: Is not gratitude due to her? Shall we discard our obligations to that nation? The mind of every man not rendered callous to the ties of human engagements, must recoil at the very idea. The bosom congealed by schemes of private pecuniary speculations, may prefer an union with Great Britain: But the virtuous and patriotic citizens of America (who, we trust in Heaven still compose a majority among us) cannot so easily forget their old friends and magnanimous allies, as not most fervently to deprecate the final ratification of our late treaty with his Britannic majesty.—You have saved us once at the head of the military; pray save us now at the head of the civil authority. The annals of history present us with few examples of an opportunity being offered to an illustrious patriot, of twice rescuing his country from impending ruin, and
the jaws of tyranny and despotism—should you do it, sir, you will be doubly glorious! twice immortal! The existence of brass and marble shall be a fading flower, a mere gaudy tulip, a mist that shall evaporate by the force of every gentle gale that may intervene; when compared to the durability of your name.
Adieu, august sir, and may God inspire you with the disposition to comply with the request of your petitioners.
MR. BRADFORD.
FROM your paper of the 29th of August, I thought it my duty to attend September Fayette Court to see and hear what petitions and remonstrances would be handed forward to the public against Jay's treaty; but met with none, then concluded to wait till 4 o'clock, at which time I understood the citizens were again to meet; but was again disappointed. I then concluded to return home, expecting I should certainly see something come forward in your next paper that would fully inform us what was the opinion of the ablest citizens in the State respecting our present critical situation; but found myself again disappointed. However it is that so much sloth and indolence has crept into the bosoms of freemen, I cannot tell, but sure I am the situation of Americans was never more alarming than it is at present; we now begin to feel the effects of the (new or) Federal Constitution; the nerves of the bill of rights was too weak, we must have stronger ones first, and have a man set up with more than kingly power, in order that we might enjoy a more despotic government than formerly, for I am sure no other reasons ever was given, and the cry of anarchy always proves that the rulers wish to establish despotism; therefore let us try to do something now for the security of American liberty, and be aware of that diabolical cry hereafter. I heartily accord with my fellow citizens in giving my thanks to Mr. Brown for his patriotic firmness in deciding on the question of the late treaty. Also with they had drank firmness and resolution to the Virginians, in their resolves entered into the 30th of July 1795. Also that every State in the Union might follow the worthy example of the Virginians. I Also believe the piece in yours dated the 12th of September, against the meeting of the citizens the 28th of August, in Lexington, is the effects of a monarchical disposition, and expect it is the fruits of that deceiver that promised the freemen of Fayette county, about seven years ago last spring, he would oppose the reception of the Federal Constitution, if he had the honor to represent them in Convention; and after being elected deceived his constituents and gave his vote pointedly contrary to what he knew to be their wish. I hope that man and every other despot will sink into infamy and reproach, while every thing that is truly republican may meet with that honor it deserves.
The public's humble servant. GEO. S. SMITH.
N. B. Believe it to be our duty, and think it highly necessary, that meetings be called from time to time till the minds of the people at large be known.
