An Expostulatory Letter
From EDWARD RUSHTON to GEORGE WASHINGTON, of Mount Vernon.

VIENNA, July 26.
On the 24th inst. about nine in the morning the Marquis de Gallo arrived here, and immediately after repaired to Fingenlorf, where he had a long conference with the Emperor. On his return to this city, he went to the minister of state, Baron Thugut, with whom he had a long conference. It was remarked that neither the marquis nor the persons about the court had very pleasant countenances. The negotiations for peace in Italy meet with great difficulties in their further progress.
The French require that Mantua shall be united with the Cisalpine republic, though it was stipulated in the preliminaries, that the city should be restored to Austria. On the part of the French, it is said, on the other hand, that the Emperor having given his consent to the establishment of a new republic in Italy, its very existence depended on having Mantua for a frontier fortress; the Emperor, therefore, must tacitly submit to the cession of Mantua, for which he receives sufficient indemnification in Istria and Dalmatia.
As these and many other difficulties have arisen and the House of Austria cannot be expected easily to abandon its great interests in Italy, we are not without fears that hostilities may again re-commence.
His Imperial majesty intends going about the end of the month to Stein, where he will review the army of the Hungarian levy.
As there is no danger of hostilities on the Bohemian frontiers, the Emperor has ordered that the fourteen battalions of reserve in that kingdom shall march immediately for the army in Italy.
Gen. Mack, who has been sent with strong reinforcements to the Italian army, is already arrived at Gortz.
On the 15th inst. the first Dalmatian ship, of 8 guns, sailed from Zara, under the Austrian flag.
LONDON, August 9.
We have reason to apprehend, that the presence of Mr. Ellis at the conferences at Lille has a most disastrous object in view, disastrous not merely to Great Britain, but to humanity. The letter of Lord Malmesbury, at the breaking up of the last embassy, disclosed the horrid system which our ministers have been brought by mercenary counsels to cherish with complacency. No man who feels for the rights of his species surely no man who professes to be a Christian, can look to the dismal prospect of national arrangements for perpetrating human slavery, and for making it the object of guarantee without breathing a curse of execration on the perpetrators.
Previously to the return of the emigrant priests to France, who are all supplied with money from this country to take them thither, they are obliged it is now known by their superiors in London, to take an oath not to administer the ceremonies of church to any person whatever in possession of any portion of confiscated or church land. This system being rigidly adhered to in France, blood has been shed in consequence of it. (Courier.)
August 10.
The demand made by the French, of a restitution of the conquests made by England from the Dutch, seems, as we before stated, to be the grand tho' not the only obstacle to peace. We still continue to think that the negotiation will be a tedious one, and probably will at length have an unsuccessful termination.
Intrigue is now employing all its arts at the Hague, at Madrid, at Paris and at Lille. On the effects that these manoeuvres are likely to produce, it would be vain for us—it would be vain for the wisest politician to offer any speculative opinion. Indeed the present situation of Europe baffles all speculation.
Barthelemy may be an advocate for peace, but he will not forget that still he is a Frenchman. Barthelemy will hardly sell his country, as the late queen of France did, in the commercial treaty, or consent to unreasonable sacrifices in our favor.
The Paris papers which arrived yesterday, contain the following articles: Fresh letters from Cadiz and Madrid confirm the intelligence of the English having been forced to raise the blockade of Cadiz; that they had
cut their cables, and been obliged to retreat in great disorder; and that the Spanish squadron, consisting of 20 sail of the line, had got out and put forth in pursuit of them. It is added, that confidence had revived at Cadiz, and it was hoped that before fifteen days should expire, public credit would revive, and commerce begin again with activity.
"We see, we feel, we can now as it were, lay our finger" says the Republican Francois, "on the ORLEANS FACTION, in every thing that has lately taken place. Recollecting what has passed, and considering the personages that are now exhibiting on the grand scene, it is impossible not to perceive its influence. Moreover, the calculation that this party may make is a very simple one; and its hopes are far from being ridiculous when we consider that its greatest enemies render it the greatest services. The men who compose it, reason, I imagine, thus: Here is one set of people who (say they) at all events, wish for the old government. By praising the past and abusing the present, they endeavor to re-establish all the old ecclesiastical institutions and customs. They will certainly not succeed to the extent of their wishes; that is possible—but they will at length succeed in making a grand impression on the public mind in favor of Royalty. This favorable disposition, opposed, combatated, attenuated, modified, by the powerful, energetic and invincible interests which have taken root in the course of the revolution, and by the new ideas to which the revolution has given birth, will finally produce the desire, and create the necessity of a king; but of a king which shall be the offspring of the revolution, and which shall enter into a compact with it. Suppose a body launched forth, that two contending forces shall draw in opposite directions—it retires from, or, if you please, it approaches equally both of them, in keeping the line which is called diagonal. France is the body, and the Orleans faction persuades itself, and not without much apparent reason that it will be placed precisely in this diagonal line. Thus it naturally expects to turn to its own profits the efforts that are made by the two contending parties; and it would be absurd to suppose it does not excite them. If the pure Royalists, as they call themselves, were convinced of these facts, they would not be so very ardent in their endeavors to point out to us the beauty and advantages of a system that the very ne plus ultra of their exertions cannot revive but in a manner that would by no means agree with their wishes and their hopes; for all that it would accomplish would be, to place the executive power in the hands of one person, and to make it hereditary leaving the other parts of the government such as they exist at present, or, at least, without making such alterations in it as would answer their chimerical wishes. It appears, and indeed we hear it repeated every day, that the greatest obstacle that present itself to an event of this kind, exists in the interest of the present executive power to prevent it. I will not, however, conceal my opinion even on this point—This interest on which so much stress is laid, is not so imperious as some persons are inclined to believe. A precarious power, a power that it is necessary one day to resign, is not a very strong motive of opposition to such an event, inasmuch as they hold it may render their condition better, by favoring the views of those who may wish to render power more lasting."
August 11.
The Polish emigrants assembled in Moldavia, and who had made several incursions into the Bucovine, have been completely defeated by the imperial troops, who have made great slaughter. Among the prisoners, there was found a chief named Noel, supposed to be a Frenchman, entirely disfigured with wounds. The Polish cavalry were the first to take flight, and leave the infantry.
According to the report of the prisoners, the rebels were not above 1500 in number, 700 of them cavalry under one Deniska. The common executioner had proceeded to Czernowitz to perform his function upon those insurgents.
PARIS, 19 Thermidor, Aug. 6.
We have every reason to think, that the report of the resumption of hostilities in Italy, between the republicans and Austrian troops, is entirely without foundation. In our opinion there is still every prospect of peace with the house of Austria, notwithstanding the negotiations are at this time so much protracted.
The very moderate conclusions, in the report made yesterday to the council of five hundred by the commission of inspectors, relative to the march of troops, have surprised many persons, who expected to hear that a proposition would be made for a decree of accusation against the three members who composed the majority of the directory. These persons have been altogether mistaken, and perhaps will be for a long time to come. Peilet.
We are assured, that the directory have received the original order of march given to the troops by the vice-commissioner, Lefage.
We just learn, that the directory has decided that the territory of Lege shall not be considered an integrant part of the empire, but shall remain united to the French republic. It is added that this decision has occasioned the negotiations with the emperor to be broken off.
We were assured yesterday assured that Pichegru had sat out for Rheims, for the purpose of concerting with the commanders of the army, and of obtaining that by persuasion which it would be extremely dangerous for the two parties to commit to the fate of arms. Ibid.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
July 28.
The minister for foreign affairs presented the Turkish ambassador to the Directory; he gave in the Firman to the president and addressed a speech to the Directory in the Turkish language. His first Drogoman repeated it in French, in the following terms:
"The sultan who at present reigns so gloriously over the Ottoman empire, sovereign of two continents & of two seas, the most majestic, the most formidable, the most magnanimous and the most powerful emperor, whose splendor is equal to that of Darius, and whose dominion is equal to that of Alexander, my most benign lord and master, has charged me to present to his sincere friends, the most honorable and the most magnificent French republic, this gracious imperial letter, filled with sentiments of the most perfect friendship, and the most pure affection. He has sent me ambassador to the republic, to augment by the assistance of the most high, the friendship and harmony which has so long and so solidly subsisted between the sublime Porte and France. If it pleases God, I shall have nothing more at heart during my residence here, than to seek the means of strengthening those bonds of pure and sincere friendship between those two great powers."
The president of the Directory replied: "Mr. ambassador of the sublime Porte, and friend of the sultan Selim, in sending you to represent him as his ordinary ambassador to the French Republic, has given a most precious pledge of his friendship, and of his desire to continue without alteration that regard which has so long subsisted between France and the Ottoman empire. The Executive Directory will omit nothing, Mr. ambassador, to convince you that they participate with you in a desire so beneficial to both nations."
This speech was translated to the ambassador by the interpreter of the Directory.
The ambassador saluted the Directory, and placed himself on a seat appropriated for foreign ministers.
The minister for foreign affairs presented the Marquis Malimi, minister plenipotentiary from Rome to the Directory.
Having delivered his letters of credence to the Directory, he said:
CITIZENS DIRECTORS, The eagerness which his holiness feels to give a public proof of his friendship for the French Republic has procured me the honor of expressing his sentiments to you. His holiness flatters himself that you will be convinced of the sincerity of his sentiments when you see the exactness
with which he fulfils his engagements, though at the price of the greatest sacrifices. His holiness always recollected with regret what passed at Rome, relative to the secretary Basville, and knows that evil disposed persons, wishing to destroy the harmony subsisting between the two states, have imputed the guilt of that transaction to the government, though it could neither foresee nor prevent it. I can for myself declare, that I was employed to calm the popular commotion, to take every measure for the safety of the French, and to give all possible consolation to the family of the unfortunate and innocent victims. My cares were not altogether useless; and it gave me great satisfaction that they were not. I hope nevertheless, that I shall be still more fortunate in the honorable and important mission with which my sovereign has entrusted me. I am sure I shall be successful, since the harmony which now subsists between the two governments, gives to my country the strongest reasons to hope that my most ardent wishes will be fulfilled.
The President replied:
"Mr. minister and plenipotentiary from Rome, the bonds which have united the French nation and that part of Italy which constitutes the temporal dominions of the pope, were too important to both parties, not to induce the Executive Directory to hasten to re-establish them as soon as it could be done consistently with the reciprocal dignity of the two nations. They flatter themselves, that that connection which is equally advantageous to the prosperity of both nations, will resume its ancient strength, and that it is the consequence of a peace as dear to his Holiness as it is to you. The Executive Directory sees with pleasure, Mr. ambassador, that his holiness has made choice of you to maintain this happy harmony."
BOSTON, September 25.
We were in hopes this day to have announced the launch of the frigate Constitution;—but after two attempts, on Wednesday and Friday last, to set her afloat she stuck, and now remains in perfect safety, on the Ways on which she was constructed.
September 26.
Letters from Trinidad in August, mention, that a mutiny had happened at that island on board the Dictator, English man of war. The sailors drove the officers below, and kept them confined for several days, insisting on treating solely with the captain for an advance of pay and a redress of sundry stated grievances. These demands being acceded to, they released the officers, and returned to their duty.
Notice is hereby given, that I shall attend with commissioners appointed by the county court of Bourbon, under an act entitled an act to ascertain the boundary of land and for other purposes, on the 22d day of November next at the late dwelling of John Palmer dec. in the said county of Bourbon, on Townsend's creek, thence to proceed to and prove and perpetuate testimony concerning a cabin built by John Townsend and called for in an entry of 1000 acres in the name of John Melton, and do such things respecting the said claim, as may be deemed necessary and agreeable to law.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, October 28, 1797.
A curious treatise has been recently published in France, on the subject of equality. This work, in the line of political literature, is one of the most nervous that has appeared since the time of Rousseau. It is destitute of method, or regularity of plan, but discovers the reflections of an elevated mind, vast, profound, and perfectly acquainted with men and varied in historical research. He dwells on the various particular questions relative to the art of governing men. The author is very guarded when he falls on philosophical principles. He does not dispute with the most extravagant democrats the principles on which they found their system of political belief, and he even surrenders to them in some degree, their favourite scheme; but at the same time he takes away one of their leading principles, their universal persuasion that "the social state originates in nature or morality; or that it is founded on any such basis." He insists that political society is positively contrary to nature, and can subsist only by a sort of artificial organization, no way connected with the general laws of nature, that control the universe. For a state of society, says he, there are two truths that seem to contradict each other; speculative and practical truths. Speculative (or metaphysical truths) are conformable to the general laws of nature; and the others regard mankind in the abstract. With the former the whole should control a part; in the other, a part ought to command the whole. According to this writer it is evident that a people unlimitedly possessed within themselves sovereignty, as existing in the general mass of individuals. It is mathematically true to be sure, that the whole is greater than a part, but this writer maintains that in the artificial order of civil society, invented by man, the natural sovereignty of a people ought to disappear. Then (says he) all is changed, a part becomes greater than the whole, and for the good of the whole a part becomes omnipotent. Men yield to the imperious necessity of things; and to be a little at rest, they consent to elevate others above themselves to be governed by. After some positions of this cast, the writer infers that the social structure can have no solid foundation except on the principle of inequality—not only (says he) that inequality in or out of office; or from accidental varieties of means, abilities, faculties, genius, or aptitude—But I talk of hereditary inequality, supported by the influence of prejudice, and every illusion of fictitious authority. He allows, however, that personal distinctions should not bear too hard on individuals of inferior classes, and that rank should be put into such a view, and so modified as that the meanest citizen, might have a chance of attaining to the highest grades, in virtue of the progressive contact of every intermediate rank—thus, (says he, would more easily be repaired the losses occasioned by the extinction or degeneracy of families; and merit, as well as fortune, would be gratified in its claims."
GOSHEN, (N. Y.) Sept. 28. On Friday morning the 18th instant, an attempt was made by a negro boy about 15 or 16 years of age, to murder Mrs. Van Inwagen, the wife of David Van Inwagen, with whom he lived, of Peenpack, in Ulster county. Mr. Van Inwagen having been from home the evening preceding, he attempted to get to bed to her, but she struck him several times, and ordered him out, which he at length obeyed. In the morning Mrs. Van Inwagen after milking, ordered him to drive away the cows and go to plowing, he started, but soon returned, she ordered a second time, but he refused, took an axe, and whetted it, and set it by the leach tub where she had been at work, when she ordered him a third time to go to ploughing, telling him if he did not go she would acquaint her father-in-law, who owned the negro, and who lived about a quarter of a mile distant, and started to go, having got about half the way, the negro caught her and attempted with a large knife to cut her throat, but cut so
high that the jaw bone prevented it from killing her, he made a second attempt upon the other side, but by her resistance was prevented, she then endeavoured to wrest the knife from him which she at length effected, having cut her hand in fifteen places to the bone, he then threw her down and pulled her by the arm about six rods and took a stone with which he struck her several times, but it not being large enough to dispatch her, he threw it down and took a larger one, with which he cut five considerable holes in her skull: by this time her cries had reached her father-in-law's family, who immediately ran to her assistance, and the negro made his escape; he has since been taken, and was tried yesterday week by three justices, who ordered him to receive ninety three lashes, which was put in immediate execution.

VALUABLE MILITARY AND OTHER LANDS FOR SALE.
THE subscriber means to remain in the state of Kentucky until December next, for the purpose of offering for sale the following tracts of LAND, to wit:
1000 Acres of First Rate LAND, North-West of the Ohio, between the Little Miami and Sciota rivers, on Paint creek, patented to Peregrine Fitzhugh, Esquire.
1333 Acres North-West of the Ohio, on the waters of Lee's creek, a branch of Paint creek, near the Rattlesnake fork, patented to P. Fitzhugh, Esquire.
1426 Acres North-West of the Ohio, on the waters of the Rocky fork of Paint creek, patented also to P. Fitzhugh, Esquire, for his services as an officer in the American war. These lands are not far distant from Chillicothe town, and must be an object well worth the emigrants attention, from its situation, it being well known that the lands generally on Paint creek are equal if not superior to any in that territory.
The new road leading from the Little Miami to Chillicothe, runs within two or three miles of these lands, where the settlement is now extending very fast up the falls of paint.
6000 Acres, surveyed for Warner Lewis, a military claim, on the Little Miami, which I am told is equal to any in that country.
Also, 10,000 Acres of Land, in this state, located at a very early date, near the three forks of the Kentucky river, in Clarke county.
An indisputable title will be given to the above lands, and a bargain to any person that would take the whole together; otherwise I would accommodate a purchaser with lots of 3 or 400 acres, for ready money only. The terms of sale will be made known by application to Hugh M'Ilvain, Esquire, in Lexington; Mr. Devall Payne, seven miles from Washington, or by personal application to me, who may be generally heard of by enquiry at Mr. Burgess's tavern. WM. P. BAYLY. Washington Town, September 11, 1797.
NOTICE—that whereas John Hickman, on the 25th day of April 1785, made an entry of 2000 acres in Kentucky, in virtue of a warrant for military services performed by him in the last war, lying on the head of Little Kentucky, and Bartlett's Folly, a branch of Drenn's creek, running in on the north side, to include the head branches of both creeks—and the county court of Shelby at their July term, appointed certain commissioners to ascertain and prove the special calls in said entry, under the act of assembly in that case made and provided. This is therefore to notify all persons concerned, that I will attend with said commissioners, on the said entry, on the fifteen day of November next, in order to take the depositions of witnesses to ascertain the special calls in said entry, and do whatever else the said commissioners shall deem necessary to perpetuate the said claim, agreeably to the said act of assembly. CHARLES LYNCH, For John Hickman. September 19.
Commissioners appointed by the court of Washington county will meet on the last monday in November next, at John Mulderough's, James Cloyd's, Samuel Lawrence's, David Lawrence's, Henry Brutter's, Thomas Arbuckle's, Solomon Lawrence's, John Simpson's, John M'Murray's, John Lawrence's, and Samuel Lawrence's preemptions, on the Rolling fork of Salt river, in order to take the depositions of witnesses to perpetuate their testimony respecting certain calls in the said preemptions and do such other things as may be deemed necessary and agreeable to law.

JOHN DANIEL.
BIBLE.
FOUR different sizes of the Bible have now passed through the press of the proprietor of this paper, viz:—Folio, with fifty copperplate representations of Scripture History—Royal Quarto, with and without Concordance.—Large demy Octavo with and without Apocrypha—and, demy 12mo. or the common small bible: This last is just issued from the press, the types for which were procured at a great expense, are exceedingly well executed, and employed a number of workmen 4 years to compleat them. They are now all standing, and are to be so kept, ready at all times for the press, in the same manner as they are at the royal printing-offices in London and Edinburgh, and the University printing houses of Oxford and Cambridge in England: A constant supply (of coarse and fine copies) bound or in sheets, and in any quantity, will be kept for sale by the editor, at the Worcester bookstore. As the execution of the plan on which this small bible is printed, in order to make the price proportionably low to those imported from Scotland and England, has been attended with a very heavy expense to the undertaker, and employed a larger capital than any work issued from an American press, he hopes suitable encouragement will be given to the undertaking.
ISAIAH THOMAS.
Mr. Thomas will be much obliged to such of his typographical brethren in the United States, who print news papers to publish the foregoing

ISRAEL HUNT BOOT & SHOE MANUFACTURER.
RESPECTFULLY informs the Public in general, and his Friends in particular, that he has commenced business in all its various branches, on Short street, next door to J. Morris's. He flatters himself from the neatness and excellence of his work to merit the favors of the public. He has furnished himself with a few excellent workmen, together with some of the best materials that can be produced.
The public, I presume, has been 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 despite 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, in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
Was I right or was I not?
Was I right or was I not? Tell me girls, and tell me true; You I mean who've husbands got, Was I wrong to do so too? No—I'm sure to die a maid Neyer was meant to be my lot: Hymen call'd and I obey'd, Was I right or was I not?
When the youth that pleas'd my mind, Told his love in language sweet, Could I see him fond and kind Sigh and languish at my feet? No, no, no, it was in vain, Frowns and threats were quite forgot, Soon at church I read his pain, Was I right or was I not?
This I know, a single life Never was design'd for me: No, no, no, 'tis nought but strife, That you surely will agree; Girls get married—that's your plan, Cupid will assist the plot: Then, like me, secure your man— Was I right or was I not?
ANECDOLE.
Of Doctor Franklin.
The following, like most of Dr. Franklin's observations, will apply to more cases than the original. Soon after the American war, some gentlemen in conversation with him, insinuated, that the independence of the United States could not be ascribed to the bravery of their troops. "And yet," the philosopher coolly replied, "the New-England militia at the battle of Lexington, under many disadvantages, left more of the British troops dead on the field than what they lost of their own." "No wonder," said an Englishman, "for I am told your people fired from behind walls & fences, on the exposed British troops." "Nothing more probable," replied the Philosopher, "but in America as in England, every wall has two sides."
