A WELL disposed lad, of good character, may hear of a place where he can get into good business by applying to the printer. January 12, 1798.
I HAVE been directed by the managers of the Lexington Lodge lottery, to order suits to be commenced against every person in arrears for the purchase of tickets, without discrimination: but think it proper to give this further notice, under the fullest confidence, that many of those indebted will prevent the managers from being forced to a measure so extremely disagreeable; and will relieve them from their present difficulties, by immediately paying to me, their respective balances due the lottery. Application is frequently made for prizes; but no money to discharge them—funds have been commenced and judgments obtained against the managers. CASH is really wanted, and it is hoped this notice will be attended to.—No further indulgence can be given. All those who have purchased tickets and are entitled to a credit on account of prizes, are requested to forward their fortunate numbers as soon as possible, that the true state of their accounts may be known.

The object proposed to be carried into effect by the assistance of this lottery, is so laudable, and its utility so very obvious, that little doubt can be entertained of success in the sale of tickets; consequently it is expected the time of drawing will not be very remote.

War Office of the United States,
January the 1st, 1798.
WHEREAS, frauds have been practiced in obtaining warrants for bounty lands, due to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army, by the production of forged instruments. To check in future such impositions, it has been thought advisable; that all persons having claims for bounty lands, whether in their own right, as legal representative, or by virtue of any instrument or deed of transfer, be required to forward their respective claims to the War Office, on or before the first day of January 1799, in order that such claims may be duly examined, adjusted and determined upon.
To substantiate such claim, a strict observance of the rules heretofore issued from the War Office will be indispensable; and in addition to what is required by the said rules, the certificate of the acknowledgment of a deed or power of attorney, must also set forth the place of residence and occupation of the claimant or person making such acknowledgment; and when the proof of personal knowledge is by a witness or witnesses, their place or places of residence must be set forth in like manner. JAMES M'HENRY, Sec. of War.

FALMOUTH, March 15.
Arrived La Victorie, Chasse Maree, from Bourdeaux, for Brest, sent in by the Argo lugger. She is part of a fleet; and it is reported that Sir J. B. Warren's squadron have taken ten sail more of them, and destroyed the frigate that convoyed them.
LONDON, March 16.
By our Falmouth letter we have the satisfaction of learning, that the squadron under the command of Sir John B. Warren, have fallen in with a convoy bound from Bourdeaux to Brest, and, according to the report brought by one of the prizes, arrived at Falmouth, had taken several sail, and the frigate that convoyed them.
SWITZERLAND, February 23.
The canton of Berne has now consented to yield to the French demands relative to the establishment of a Democratic Constitution: so that a war with France appears no longer to be apprehended.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 30.
The effect of the great discontent which the speech of Adams, the American president, excited at Paris, have already burst forth even in the Council of Five Hundred, where Villiers declared: "When we see the president Adams holding the same language in congress, as Pitt in his English parliament, when we hear how both insult and defame the French nation, there can be no longer any doubt, but that there exists a perfect understanding between the two, and both governments; and without losing our time in vain expectations of disavowal of his sentiments by the Americans, every American ship may justly be considered as belonging to the English."
PARIS, January 16.
The speech of the president Adams of the 23d of November in the American congress, arrived via England occasioned surprise and excited great animosity here. Several passages of the speech are studiously marked with insult to the French nation and the revolution, and were certainly not calculated to adjust the existing differences between the two republics. Mere folly deserves to be pitied, madness and virulence require a more effectual remedy than mere compassion.
NEW-YORK, May 7.
On Saturday arrived here the schooner Valadore, capt. Gardner, 33 days from Gibraltar—she sailed in company with the brig Commerce, of, and for this port, under an English convoy, with one regiment of troops, bound to Lisbon.
The Spanish fleet were still St. Vincent's.
May 3, lat. 38, long. 70, spoke the Assistance, and another 50, the latter having lost her rudder head.—Had in company a French prize, and a few days before had sent in a Spanish prize, with considerable money.
The ship Hunter, of this port, is taken and carried into Algeciras.
There were no American vessels left at Gibraltar.
The Valledore, or Flyer, was formerly a Spanish guarda-coasta, and was some time in January taken by an English frigate. We are told she was purchased by a citizen of New-York, and sent out with a cargo of prize wine.
FAYETTEVILLE, April 28.
A fire broke out in Wilmington, on Saturday night the 21st inst. about 12 o'clock, nearly in the centre of the north-east square of the town, the whole of which, with many adjacent buildings, were consumed in the course of three hours.
A strong wind blowing from the south-west, together with the great exertions of the inhabitants, prevented the entire destruction of the whole town.—The court-house standing in the centre of the town, upon the preservation of which depended the safety of all the buildings, being on fire several times.—About 50 or 60 dwelling houses and stores were destroyed, besides kitchens, &c.—The loss in buildings, and together with merchandise, furniture, &c. is estimated at not less than 140,000 dollars.—The misfortune is attributed to accident.
PHILADELPHIA, May 8.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
W, X, Y, & Z.
Precious details extracted from Hamburg and Altona papers, of Jan. 15, and 16, which may serve to clear up the most incomprehensible parts of the mysterious negotiation between the three commissioners and W. X. Y. and Z.
The circumstances which led to the unexampled conduct of the executive directory are given in the most respectable Paris papers as follows.
A certain Wiscovich, a native of Dalmatia, who lived for some time past at Paris in the style of a man of fortune, apparently in close connection with Caron de Beaumarchies, Montesquieu, the English Beckford, and other persons of the same stamp, had by means of an insinuating address made acquaintances in several offices of government; and under cover of his ostensible familiarity with government men, introduced himself into the hotels of the non-accredited foreign ministers, in the character of a secret and influential agent of the directory, at the same time that he offered to one of the real agents of government to draw from the lately arrived foreign envoys, their views and their plan of conduct, in any negotiation to be opened with them. In this manner he obtained money from several foreign agents, and particularly considerable sums from M. d'Aranjo; by persuading him that some modifications in the treaty with Portugal had been effected thro' the influence of his friends, encouraged by repeated success he assured M. Aranjo, that one of the secret articles which the minister had complained of, as bearing very hard upon Portugal, should be expunged, provided he agreed to pay a million of piasters, to be divided among three members of the directory. To effect this, without the knowledge of the two other directors, Wiscovich proposed that the Portuguese government should refuse to ratify the treaty; it will then be sent back, said Wiscovich, one of our friends will propose the desired modification, and the two others will support him, provided the million is paid.—M. Aranjo gave accordingly information to his government, who readily agreed to the payment of a million. Citizen Mathieu, who in October last was sent to Lisbon, invested with special powers of the directory, and who since that time had frequently secret conferences with the Portuguese minister Pinto, was charged by the directory to see that the secret articles be immediately carried into effect. When he represented to the Portuguese government the fatal consequences of a refusal to ratify the treaty, and insisted on its execution, he was told that it was a matter agreed upon between confidential agents of the directory and M. Aranjo, and at last to remove all doubts, they shewed him the dispatches of the latter, citizen Mathieu noted down the most striking particulars, transmitted to them the directory by an extraordinary courier, & demanded instructions on the subject. Now the whole plot was at once unveiled. On the twenty-sixth December two guards were placed in the hotel of M. D'Aranjo. Wiscovich and two of his accomplices, who had assisted him in his schemes, under different fictitious characters, were arrested at the moment they were preparing to take flight with their booty. On the 30th December D'Aranjo, notwithstanding his indisposition was brought before the minister of general police, and after a long examination conducted as a state prisoner to the temple. Several persons implicated in this business were on the same day arrested. The noble Quirini, formerly ambassador of Venice met the same fate. Another band of swindlers had persuaded him that by paying a large sum of money, which they said was to go to one of the directors, the fate of Venice would be changed. It appears, there is a numerous gang of these swindlers in the capital, who endeavour by all means in their power to perplex the government and clog its march; but the minister of police will soon trace them out. A very vigilant officer of the police has discovered a large sum of money deposited for the use of the British agents at Paris. M. D'Aranjo is considered
as having forfeited the privileges allowed to the character of an ambassador by joining in attempt to corrupt the officers of the French government."
On the above we shall only remark, that the discovery of the swindling tricks of the pretended agents of the directory took place on the 25th December. Aranjo was arrested on the 26th, and the conferences of the American commissioners are all dated anteriorly to the epoch of the arrest of R. S. T. & U. the companions of W. X. Y. & Z.
The dispatches from our envoys at Paris communicated to congress on Friday, consist of a letter dated February 7, which enclosed a copy of a memorial to the minister of foreign relations, delivered on the 31st of January. This memorial is lengthy, and contains a discussion of all the subjects of dispute between the French Government and that of the United States.
In the letter of the 7th February, our envoys say, "We have not yet received any answer to this communication, and should no notice be taken of it in a few days, we shall apply in a more direct manner for our passports."
May 10.
Our city yesterday bore a very disquieting appearance. The passions of our citizens, which have been artfully inflamed by war speeches and addresses, as well as threats and denunciations against the Republicans, burst out in such a manner as to endanger the peace of the city.
It was early foretold, that the insidious recommendation of a British printer, to the youths of this city, to wear a cockade, would be attended with disagreeable consequences. The prediction has been in a degree verified; tumultuous meetings and riots took place towards dark; but they were fortunately not attended with any serious consequences.
The scenes of yesterday should be a warning, and teach our citizens to discard a badge, which can only tend to mark divisions among us, and increase the heat of party spirit.
Those men who have all to lose by a state of disturbance, are most solemnly called on in the awful name of their God, and as they value the good of their country and the blessings of peace and quiet, to reflect for a moment, and before it be too late, to cast a steadfast gaze on the tremendous precipice before them. Another step, & the yawning gulph may swallow up in inevitable ruin, the fabricators of this scheme, of arraying our citizens against each other, as well as those against whom the destruction is intended. Aurora.
On Wednesday arrived at New-York, the ship Chesapeake, Adamson, in 44 days from Bristol, having parted convoy in a gale, ten days after he failed.
A Cork paper, by this ship, of the 21st March, confirm the capture by Sir J. B. Warren, of several French frigates, and sixty transports, from Dunkirk bound to Brest.
A letter from Cork of the 21st of March says, that an authentic account of the above had just been received there, by a vessel from Liverpool.
Verbal accounts state, that on the 17th of March, (St. Patrick's day) a general massacre was to have taken place in Ireland; but a timely discovery, and the apprehension of a part of the chiefs, prevented the horrid deed.
Yesterday morning the young citizens of this city, to the number of eleven or twelve hundred, waited on the president of the United States, and presented their address. The hat of each citizen was decorated with our national cockade, and the American standard, with martial music, preceded the company. The concourse of persons anxious to view this interesting spectacle, was immense, and every heart seemed to glow with the patriotic feelings of true Americans. The president returned his answer to the address, and the company proceeded to the state house yard, where it was read by Mr. Charles Hare, after which Hail "Columbia" was sung with enthusiastic ardor, and the company dispersed.
May 11.
Wednesday, several waggons from New-York, containing one hundred and thirty thousand crowns, arrived in this city under a military escort. The cash was deposited in the Bank of the United States, and is to be re-coined.
Lexington, May 30, 1798.
The public are cautioned against counterfeit Post Notes, of the Bank of Baltimore—a person from one of the Southern states, has lately passed through the settlements of Cumberland, where he put a number of those counterfeits into circulation, and came from thence into this state, last week. We have our information from a gentleman of respectability, immediately from Nashville, who had in his possession one of the counterfeits.
About a fortnight since, two men who had stolen several horses from the neighborhood of Louisville, were pursued as far as St. Vincennes, and as they had passed that place, the pursuers employed two men there, to follow them, and if possible, overtake and bring them back. Messrs. Beard and Harbin were the persons employed at St. Vincennes, who followed and took both thieves, and handcuffed them. On their return, one evening when they had encamped, Slaughter, one of the thieves, slipped off his handcuffs, and whilst Beard was some distance from the fire, caught up one of the guns belonging to the pursuers, and shot Harbin dead on the spot—Beard ran up on hearing the gun, and as he approached, Slaughter snapped the other gun at him, two or three times—Beard having a tomahawk in his hand, rushed up and tomahawked him. We have this information from two gentlemen who live in Louisville, where the other prisoner is in jail.
FROM THE REDACTEUR OF FEB. 23.
NEUTRAL POWERS.
The horrid genius of the cabinet of St. James's, is in motion: enraged to see itself assailed by us with the very arms which, it forged to ruin us, it has dispatched emaries in every direction to mislead, if not to corrupt the governments who, by their wisdom have until now preferred themselves from the scourge of war. Already does it boast of arming a new coalition in the North against the law that declares English merchandize to be contraband.
Does England expect to make the world forget that it is herself provoked that measure: that it strikes solely at her, and that the law far from being prejudicial to the neutral powers, offers them invaluable advantages.
It is England, we repeat, that has provoked the measure. Firmly attached to her homicidal plan of famishing France, she swelled the list of contraband articles in such a manner that nothing that is useful was suffered to enter our ports. Not satisfied with publicly multiplying prohibitory acts, she gave private instructions to each of her cruisers, and these instructions declared every article of the produce of our colonies to be good prize. Therefore the law against English merchandizes was, on our part, but a just reprisal, it merely inflicted upon her the punishment pronounced by the "Lex Talionis!"
It is also England alone that receives the blow, for the law prohibits merely the produce of her territory and manufactures a preference infinitely beneficial, in favor of the produce of the territories and manufactures of other powers; since they are thereby invited to furnish us every article which the English are no longer suffered to supply us with, and that in consequence, their commerce taking possession of all the markets from which the English are shut out, will open to them new sources of wealth and prosperity. Can it be possible, that they should so far disregard their own interest as to espouse those of the British government; could they forget, that by crushing that tyrant of the ocean that universal forestaller, we do not only defend our own cause, but that of all the commercial nations. Let them remember what a celebrated writer said in speaking of the exclusive dominion of the seas: "This is a kind of monarchy, which Europe ought to wrest out of the hands of England, by restoring to each maritime state the liberty and the power which each of them has a right to, upon the watery element that borders its coast. This is a system of public utility founded on natural equity; here justice is the expression of the general interests."
These principles are our own; let them also be those of all commercial states, and united in sentiment as well as by interests, let us compel England to a peace, to such a one as shall forever re-establish equality upon the high seas. The French republic, desire nothing more ardent than to lay these cases and adopt a maritime Code, that shall blot out even the name of contraband, as every thing ought to be held sacred on board a neutral

tral vessel, wherefoever she may be bound.
But if a state under the mask of an insidious neutrality unites with England instead of acceding to our pacific and philanthropic views, if it conceives itself personally attacked by the blow which the law against British produce and merchandizes strikes at England then it offers itself the proof, that it has made her cause its own, and its profession of faith is completed.
Let the neutrals declare themselves. The French republic prefers an open hostility to a clandestine war that is entirely to the advantage of the enemy of mankind. Woe at all events, to those governments who are the slaves of the corrupt cabinet of St. James! They will attract upon their heads the execration of their own nations, whose blood it will appear, they sold at the price of English gold. Let them take care of the hour, when they shall awake from their lethargy—it will be the hour of punishment for their infamous traffic.

INVASION OF ENGLAND.
DEVOURING war shall wake his Gallic hand At freedom's call, & scourge their guilty land. And while his thundering chariot rolls along, And scatters discord o'er the fatal throng; Death in the van, with anger, hate and fear, And desolation stalking in the rear; Revenge, by justice guided, with his train, Shall drive impetuous o'er the trembling plain, Then tyrant vet'ries, with despotic hosts, Shall yield to freedom all the pow'r they boast, With furious pirates swarming round the coast. Then peace o'er earth, shall hold her easy sway, And man no more his brother man will slay, But white rob'd Liberty from Heaven descend, And through the world her equal laws extend.
