THE Managers believe it enough to induce the public to become adventurers, to inform them, that the object of this Lottery is to erect a new building, at the UNIVERSITY in Cambridge, for the further accommodation of the Students. The Friends of Literature are to be found every where, and when its cause can be served, and a good chance for personal emolument at the same time presents itself, this double inducement, it is conceived must operate in favour of the Lottery.
THE Managers of this Lottery had the conducting of the late State Lottery—the public will do them the justice to say, that the strictest punctuality as to the time fixed for drawing, and in the payment of Prizes, was observed by them in that Lottery—they pledge themselves for the same punctuality in this.

TERRIBLE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.
NAPLES, (Italy) June 17.
On Sunday, the 15th of June, I was called to witness the grandest, the most awful sight, I ever beheld. It was about eleven at night, and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, I imagine, had burst forth about twenty minutes previous to the time of my seeing it. It was on the side of the mountain much below its crater. A few minutes before the fire and smoke were visible, a violent shock of the earth was felt, sufficient to ring the bells in the houses, and shake the doors and windows. When I first saw it, it had the appearance of an immense column of fire arising out of an aperture of the earth of a wonderful size: the fire was not, or had not the appearance of being thrown up by jets or coup sur coup , but one continued body or gerbe. The column of smoke greatly exceeded even what could be expected from such a body of fire; and owing to the direction it took, we never lost sight of the summit of Vesuvius, or of Somma, the opposite Mountain, which heightened the beauty and grandeur of the scene. The lava broke out in many places on the sides, and it is said, from thirty-six different openings: these, soon uniting in one great river of fire, flowed with great rapidity towards Torre del Greco, a town at the foot of the Mountain on the sea shore. In its way to this town, it at one time took a direction that threatened the town of Portici, but happily did not reach it. The stream of lava was the whole time a most tremendous sight: the throws from the mountain, the explosions like thunder, and shocks of the earth, were repeated at very small intervals. At three I ventured to bed; but at five the house shook so much, the windows and doors rattled, and the bells rang to that degree, that I thought it advisable to get up again.
The scene was now entirely changed. No Vesuvius, no fire, no smoke, no lava to be seen; the whole atmosphere was charged with ashes, and the powder from them lay an inch thick in the streets: the explosions and shocks were less violent, but the sun was obscured by the ashes the greatest part of Monday the 16th of June. To what height the stones or lava were thrown up, I know not, but probably above 1000 feet: they have been known in a former eruption to have been thrown 11,000 feet in height; at which time Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON told me that he picked up stones of 60 pounds in weight at the distance of five or six miles, one of 12 pounds at eight, and one of two ounces at thirty miles distance from the mountain.
About ten in the morning, we heard that the town of Torre del Greco, eight miles from hence by water, was entirely consumed, with 28,000 inhabitants: a boat took us there in two hours, when we happily found these reports greatly exaggerated, for only eight persons were lost, and these either old, or confined to their beds by sickness: many houses are burnt and destroyed, and more must suffer the same fate, as the lava still continues to roll towards the sea, though not with rapidity.
The main stream of lava divided near Torre del Greco into four parts: one, after having made its way through the middle of the town, reached the sea, carrying every thing before it; a second went through a valley towards the sea, without doing much mischief; a third, though slow in its progress, is very mischievous in its effects on a different part of the town. I saw a fourth above the town in a vineyard, presenting a front of lava 800 feet wide, and 100 feet high, which threatens more mischief. Imagine then what must have been the mass or river of lava on the declivity of the mountain before its first division.
The rapidity with which it proceeded, varied according to the greater or less declination of the ground over which it passed: it reached the town, which was at the distance of eight miles, in four hours from the time when it first broke out. The inhabitants of Torre del Greco are calculated at fourteen thousand, almost all of whom fled immediately without attempting to secure any of their effects. I did not see more than 150 persons, and very few of these were employed in saving any thing out of the houses that were beginning to take fire. Why they fled so suddenly, or at least did not return earlier after their first panic, I cannot guess; for the progress of the lava was so gradual, that they certainly had time to save their effects, without endangering themselves, except in one instance, higher up the mountain, where one house, with four Nuns in it, was buried before assistance could be given.
Those who have made observations on Volcanoes say, that this is the greatest and most violent eruption ever known since the time of PLINY, Anno Domini 79: that the appearance of this, in many of its circumstances, was similar to an eruption in 1767, at which time the mountain discharged its contents during one whole day and night, then ceased for the same time, and so on alternately for six days, with exactly the same intermissions.
JUNE 18.
From the continuance of the noise, it is imagined more lava must be discharged very soon: at this instant the noise is more violent, and the ashes thicker than ever. There has been no eruption wherein the lava has reached the sea since 1631, at which time the town of Torre del Greco was nearly destroyed.
JUNE 19.
The Crater is fallen in—the ashes less thick: though the rumbling like thunder continues, I believe the danger of another violent shock is over. The opening from whence the lava flowed prior to this eruption, was about a quarter
of a mile in circumference. It is now imagined to be a mile.
JUNE 20.
Two other towns have been destroyed by a shower of ashes, but it is now hoped that all danger is over here.
In the new edition of London, a Poem, by the late Dr. JOHNSON, the following lines are proposed to be left out, on the suggestion of the Right Hon. Mr. WINDHAM:
A single jail in Alfred's golden reign, Could half the nation's criminals contain; Fair Justice then, without constraint ador'd, Held high the steady scale, but deep'd the sword. No Spies were paid, no special Juries known, Blest age! but ah! how different from our own.
DUMFRIES, (Virg.) Sept. 11.
Extract of a letter from Admiral Vanblare, to his correspondent in Norfolk Borough, dated Brest June 24, 1794.
"I have the pleasure to inform you of my safe arrival at Brest, without losing one vessel from the fleet under our convoy. On our passage we captured and brought safe into Brest harbour, fifteen prizes, worth at the lowest computation four millions. There are at present, 590 prizes in this port—a Dutch fleet of 30 sail, under convoy of an English and Dutch frigate, were all captured and brought in here.
"The armies of the Republic are every where victorious, and are at present about to besiege Barcelona—and to crown all, there is the greatest abundance of provisions."
HALIFAX, Sept. 11.
Saturday arrived his Majesty's ships Cleopatra and Thistle, from a cruise.
Same day arrived the ship Commerce, Capt. PREBBLE, laden with wine and brandy, prize to the Thistle. She was bound from Bourdeaux to Portland.
Likewise, the ship Bailey, and brig Andromache, from London, with provisions for government.
The ship Ulysses, which failed from London, with the above vessels, is now off the harbour.
Monday, his Majesty's ship Blanche, failed on a cruise.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Baltimore Volunteers, dated Saturday evening last, the 20th instant, at 7 o'clock.
"A gentleman, this moment from Hager's town informs me, that about twenty of the principal insurgents are taken and committed; two others, Baker and Bowyer, have made proposals to deliver themselves up, provided they can be protected from the rage of the populace."
My informant may be depended on, as he was witness to their examination, and described them terrified beyond any thing he ever saw. He is certain that the schoolmaster, a principal leader, is amongst the taken, and he believes that Mr. McCoy also, a noted character, is a prisoner with the others.—When the Governor leaves this, I feel a confidence that we shall be immediately discharged.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.
Yesterday at 11 o'clock the Governor of this State, marched from town, with the three Troops of horse, commanded by Captains Dunlap, Singer, and M'Connell, the company of Infantry commanded by Major Fisher, and Capt. Thomson, with 15 field pieces, 6 and 3 pounders. The troops encamped at the Falls of Schuylkill in the afternoon, except the cavalry, who proceeded as far as Norristown.
[From a Georgetown Paper.]
September 17.
Part of the militia of this town, the federal city and neighborhood set off on Sunday and Monday last for Fredericktown, where they arrived the next day and were joined by the militia from Baltimore town and other parts of this state. It appears that the first design of the insurgents was to take possession of the magazine at Frederick, upon which they made an attempt, but were repulsed by the inhabitants, who made several prisoners; these were found and known to be the very men, the same Tories, who last war opposed the brave men who were fighting for true liberty; their ringleaders are endeavoring to delude the farmers, by making them believe that their horses, waggons, cattle, &c. are to be taxed: If this fails they no doubt will employ some other means to bring on disorder and confusion; for you may depend the plan is well laid. You remember the contents of the letter, which was found last year in France in an English pocket-book, and was made public by order of the National Convention; well, it is more than probable that the same enemies have laid the same plan of treachery, bribery, plunder, assassination, &c. here, and that the repeal of the excise law, is but a mere pretence; of this every good republican must know. A letter from government read here publickly on Sunday last contains information of the most alarming nature with regard to the plot of the enemies, and mentions besides, that they have corresponding committees in the several parts of the union, and that very serious consequences are to be apprehended; you will say that the aristocrats are not numerous; however there is a party of them in almost every town; and although they certainly shall not have the overhand, they nevertheless can do a great deal of mischief; the head committees are no doubt in your city, at New-York and in Canada; it appears that a part of the plan of the enemy is to cut off all communication between the atlantic states and the western country, so as to prevent supplies from going to Gen. Wayne's army;
and render themselves masters of the Ohio; but can the people above Pittsburg be so far misled? Let them every republican rise in this alarming crisis, and crush the liberticide-efforts of the agents of the infamous Pitt; who, while he is giving sumptuous dinners to our envoy extraordinary, is kindling a civil war among us; taking our vessels and seamen at sea, and on our very coast; blocking up our ports, fighting with the Indians against our citizens, and insulting us publicly on every occasion; I see with sorrow that a great part of the militia in some of the states militating the real cause, are rather backward in taking up arms; let then the republicans in every part undecieve them and point out the real enemies, and the real cause.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Adlum, at Fort-Franklin, dated Aug. 31.
"I returned yesterday from the Cornplanter's town, he having sent me to attend a treaty at Buffalo creek, but as the treaty does not come on so soon as was expected, I came to this place for a few days. I had a good deal of conversation with Cornplanter, from which, and every other circumstance, war appears to me to be inevitable. Give us what we ask for, or abide the consequence, is the language of the Indians. He desired me to request the commanding officers of the posts, not to carry much provisions to Le Bœuf, as it would soon have to be run away from. There were twenty Indians from the other side of the lake, arrived at Cornplanter's whilst I was there, to be a guard to their frontier, as they informed me, and to make a frolic, I suppose, if their demands are not complied with."
Extract of another letter, from the same, to Gen. Wilkins, dated Sept. 7.
"I have just returned a second time from Cornplanter's town. On my arrival there he informed me that a number of Indians would come to town the next day from the north side of the Lakes, to guard them and to take care of their women and children, while the chiefs were attending at the treaty. Accordingly on the day following, 19 Indians arrived, headed by one Du Quane, a half-blood, sent by Captain Brandt. They brought word that the treaty would not be held till the 19th of this month."
In all the conversations I had with the Indians they seemed determined to attack us immediately, if the President of the United States did not grant their request. They told me that all they wanted to know from the Commissioners, was, whether Gen. Washington would grant their request or not—if he would not, times would be troublesome very soon. The Cornplanter said, that before they attack us they would give us notice to clear the frontiers—That the Indians did not intend to make war upon women and children but against men, and at the same time desired me to give notice that it was not worth while to carry any more provisions to Le Bœuf, as the garrison would soon have to leave it. From every thing it appears to me that they mean to keep their words, that is, "give us the land we ask for, or abide by the consequences," and if there is not a great alteration in their disposition very soon it is my opinion that we may expect them on our frontiers by the 25th of this month. The Cornplanter laughs at the idea of supplying the garrisons with provisions, should there be a war, as the roads and rivers will be constantly way laid.—There is a considerable number of warriors at the towns, and those from the north side of the Lakes are at present hunting between Hickory-Town and Oyle-Creek, and have been very insolent to some of my men, and took a rifle from one of them, leaving a very ordinary one in the place of it, observing that they scalped many white people last war, and expected soon to do the same again."
Extract of a letter from General Wilkins, dated Pittsburg, Sept. 12.
"This instant there are recent accounts from Le Bœuf and Fort Franklin—they are almost certain of a war with the six nations of Indians. Every one represents the conduct of the individuals of them as uncommonly insolent and arrogant. It is said by the man who came from Fort Franklin, that there are 12 or 15 Indians from Sandusky, lying in the neighborhood of that place, under the pretence of being peaceable, but supposed to be waiting the result of the treaty, to commence hostility, and to influence others to join them. Should they go to war, preparations ought to be made to support the garrison at Le Bœuf."
September 22.
Captain Gardnier, on Sunday last off the Capes of Virginia, was boarded by a French frigate, called the Le Cau, of 44 guns, 70 days from Brest, the Capt. of which behaved to him very politely, and told him he was bound for the Capes of Delaware. The Schooner Industry Capt. Hylander, from the Havannah is arrived at the Fort.
Captain Done, of the Schooner Hope was taken by the Bermudian privateer, Experiment on Friday last, in the Delaware, within three miles of the Light-House, with a pilot on board, and carried to Bermuda. The Hope has been formerly taken by a French privateer and carried into Genoives, but was there permitted to sell her cargo and return home. It appears that she was on her return and in the Delaware when taken by the Bermudian.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 22.
ANNIVERSARY.
Monday the 22d September being the first day of the 3d year of the French Republic, the same was celebrated in this city with unusual eclat. The flag of the United States was hoisted at Governor's Island, at the Battery, and on the Tontine and Old Coffee-Houses.
A dinner was given by the Consul and other citizens of the French Republic, to a large number of respectable inhabitants, at the new assembly room in William-Street, on which were raised flags of the two Republics united. At half past 3 the company, consisting of upwards of 200 sat down to a grand patriotic feast prepared by citizen Gautier.
The room was handsomely ornamented, and a fine band of musick performed a number of national airs during the repast, among which were the Marfeilles Hymn, Carmagnole, Ca Ira, Washington's March, Yankee Doodle, &c. &c.
The Minister of the French Republic, who arrived in town on Saturday, was present, also his Excellency the Governor, the Mayor, Brig. General Alner, the Colonels of the different regiments of militia in this city, the Grand Sachem, and several others, officers of Tammany Society; the officers of the Democratic Society, and a number of other citizens civil and military.
After dinner several toasts, under a discharge of cannon, were given in French by the French Consul, and translated by one of the company.
The commencement of the third Gallic year was also celebrated by the Tammany Society, at their wigwams.
A select company of military gentlemen also celebrated this auspicious anniversary.
Several other select companies also held this day as a festival to liberty.
September 24.
The following is published at the desire of Sir JOHN TEMPLE, Bart. his Britannic Majesty's Consul General residing at New-York.
His Excellency Sir CHARLES GREY, K. B. his Majesty's General and Commander in Chief in the West-Indies, having signified in a letter dated Martinico, the 25th of August, "that the importation in American bottoms, into the Islands of Martinico, Guadalupe and St. Lucia, of lumber and dry provisions, namely, flour, biscuit and grain, will be permitted, until the 31st of October, 1794, inclusive, and no longer. The same is hereby made public, for the information of all merchants and traders in the United States."
JOHN TEMPLE.
New-York, 23d Sept. 1794.
The account of Gen. WAYNE's defeat of the Indians is confirmed. Report says he took 7 prisoners in RED COATS, and ordered them to the GALLOWS. We anxiously wait for the truth.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Limerick (Ireland,) to his friend in this city, dated July 15, 1794.
"It is now pretty generally believed that we shall have a peace with France; our fleets have proved victorious, at the same time that our armies have been dreadfully beaten by these brave republicans wherever met with. They have driven us from their territories, and have pursued their victories by seizing on Flanders and Brabant; Ghent, Bruges, Nieuport, Ostend, &c. are now in their possession, and we fear the Duke of York and army are in Begoing condition, (under the rose) I think it would be a happy circumstance, as we should then be driven to peace indeed.—Tumults in Spain are arrived to a great height, and we rejoice at the idea of a Revolutionary Tribunal appearing in Madrid shortly, I think the French committee of public safety is a grand body, their views extend to the revolution of the world; kingdoms, states, and empires are small theatres of action to these magnanimous heroes and liberators of mankind: And may they go on until tyranny and usurpation, monarchy and aristocracy, are like blended and melted down in the crucible of Liberty and Democracy. I can assure you the leaven of Liberty and Equality is by degrees about to leaven the whole world."
God is triumphantly going forward in the chariot of re-generation: The Gospel talks of the new man; our ideas are enlarged, and we now talk of nations and a new world; here my friend is a scale of action to our ideas, which bursts forth with resplendent glory.
The prophet speaks of a nation being born in a day, behold the critical period of these latter times! we are on the eve of great events, they are at the door: And tho' you are removed from them, I am in their midst: And if I perish in the glorious struggle, I shall die a martyr, not like my forefathers in the cause of tyrants, but shall shout "Vive la nation."
ALBANY, Sept. 28.
On Monday last arrived in this city, from Mischelemackanoch, viz. Detroit and Niagara, JAMES NEIL, an inhabitant of Beardstown, Nelson county, Kentucky, and one of the packhorse men, employed by the contractors to General WAYNE's army. He says he was taken by the Indians at the attack on Fort Recovery, stripped of his cloathing and carried a journey west, into the interior of their country; that during the march he was tied twice to be burnt, but that some casualty happened each time which prevented it. On his arrival at Mischelemackanoch, he was ransomed by Capt. BOYLE, commanding at that post, from whom he obtained a pass to Niagara, Col. ENGLAND; at Niagara, Gov. SIMCOE renewed his pass, and give him liberty to return home, and eleven dollars to bear his expenses. He confirms the account published in our last, of the defeat of the Indians at the Miami, and says several of which people were with the Indians, as he saw sundry of them who were wounded brought into Detroit, while he was there. He also says, SIMON GIRTY, and a son of Col. MAGEE, who lives at the rapids of the Miami, commanded the Indians—that GIRTY publickly declared, he took off Capt. GIBSON's scalp.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.
A letter to a gentleman in this town contains the following:—“The last instructions from the cabinet of St. James to the English ships of war and privateers are to take the produce and manufactures of France in whatever ships they are to be found, without paying any regard to the place they are going to or coming from”
GEORGE TOWN, Sept. 23.
Extract of a letter dated Aug. 24, from an American captain, taken by the British, and now detained in Halifax, to his friend in this town.
“I have written you several times, informing you of my misfortune, in being taken by the English; but as all our letters, must be opened and read by the governor, I cannot say much. Yesterday our cargo and sixteen more were condemned as prizes, and I fear they will condemn ships and all.—This is indeed too hard; every day the poor Americans are sent in here as prizes. I cannot say much more, only that they threaten to send us, old countrymen, home to England in irons, but they know better than to execute this threat. They have robbed me of all I had.
“My men are all in prison.”
Extract of another letter from the same, to the same, dated Aug. 25.
“In addition to what I wrote you yesterday, I have to say that besides all the cargoes, four vessels are already condemned. May God bless you, and endow me with fortitude to bear such accumulated affliction!
NEW-YORK, September 27.
The Southern States wear a truly martial appearance—the papers are filling with general and particular military orders, and great encomiums are hazarded upon the soldierly ardor of the several corps. It must be pleasing to every friend to peace and good government to be assured, that the greatest probability is, that the southern disturbances will be quelled without the shedding of brothers blood.
SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 30.
A young man was accidentally shot dead, at the review, at Windfor, (Con.) on Tuesday last. This unfortunate affair was occasioned by the imprudence of the deceased, and some of his comrades, in overloading their pieces. Youngsters take warning!
BOSTON, October 1.
DEFEAT of the INDIANS.
In the last CENTINEL an account of the defeat of the Indians by the Kentucky volunteers was announced, as received from Philadelphia.—The accounts from the frontiers are so various and contradictory, that it is with caution, we publish them. Of this report we have, however, received the following corroborative particulars.
Hagarstown, Sept. 16. “I congratulate you on the news of the defeat of the Indians by the Kentucky volunteers.”
Frederick, Sept. 16. “Advises from the westward, received by a gentleman of veracity, who arrived in this town on Monday last, announce, that General SCOTT, having under his command upwards of 1400 men, four miles in advance of General WAYNE’s army, was suddenly attacked by a considerable number of Indians: that after a severe conflict of 45 minutes, the Indians were totally routed, leaving behind them upwards of 200 dead on the spot. We are sorry to add, that the loss sustained by General SCOTT, amounts, in killed, wounded and missing, to 384, among them some brave, enterprising officers.”
Gov. LEE, of Virginia, is appointed to the Chief command of the troops gone against the insurgents in the back parts of Pennsylvania.
We are happy to learn from New-Haven, that the prevalent disease of that city, “grows milder in its attacks, and more readily yields to the power of medicine.”—There were the 23d inst. only fourteen persons sick of the putrid fever, only 3 of whom are dangerous.
OCTOBER 2.
Nothing farther occurs from the European world. Our last accounts left the French victorious. The allies we know not where.
The English changing their ministry.
The Patriots talking of peace. The royalists of war. Our envoy negotiating, and the crown establishing the constitution of Corsica.
In Flanders it may be said that the French have literally carried every thing before them—Valenciennes, Quesnoy, and Condé are almost the only places not in their possession. Sluys on the borders of Holland was besieged by them, and every moment indicated an intention to penetrate into that country. As to the allied armies, it does not appear that they are in sufficient force in one particular spot to make head against the French; indeed retreat was the order of the day. The British ministerial accounts are very few; many severe battles had been fought, according to the continental papers, no accounts of which are published in the London Gazette. The details that are given, are short and distasteful. As to Cobourg, Clairfait, Hohenloe, Beaulieu, and the Duke of York, it cannot be determined where either they or their armies are. Earl Moira is brought forward, and appears to occupy the most conspicuous place in the whole picture—but he is also on the scout. In short, the “accidental” incidents of the campaign have turned out a most systematic business; for these incidents have cost the allies all Flanders, and about half a dozen armies.
The British minister, is determined on prosecuting the war. Indeed it is very generally supposed that no other alternative is left; for the Committee of safety of France threaten to annihilate the government and the nation: it cannot therefore be supposed they will make peace.
As a compensation for their losses the present campaign, the King of England is made King of Corsica, and Earl Howe has taken 6 French ships of the line, and sunk one. These acquisitions have cost about twenty millions sterling, and about forty thousand men.
The Royal Humane Society of London, have lately reported, that within a few years they have saved by their exertions more than 1800 lives. This is the most sublime eulogium that we can pronounce on that and familiar institutions in the United States.
THE armies of France, to the amount of two hundred thousand soldiers enured to fatigue, accustomed to victory, and inspired by Liberty, are on the frontiers of Holland, gathering like a cloud upon that devoted country, which is now likely to undergo a new Revolution in favor of liberty and equality, in opposition to the views and intrigues of the British government, who have brought them by their influence in their politics, to their present situation, by obliging them to take a part in the war contrary to their interest and inclination.
It is a fact beyond controversy, that there were never so few crimes committed in France, since the earliest period of its history, against the principles of the purest morality, as at this period. There are neither thefts nor robberies on the highway in any part of the Republic. While thousands of wretched malefactors have expiated their offences against the laws in England, in the last four years, by closing their infamous career either on the scaffold, or by transportation to Botany-Bay, there is not but one example of an individual being convicted of robbery in the whole of that populous Commonwealth in the same compass of time. The only crimes for which punishment has been inflicted have been those against the safety and indivisibility of the Republic, by the priests, aristocrats, and traitors, who have been bribed by English gold, to destroy the present Democratic Constitution of that country. When the British government talk of reforming the morals of the French nation, would it not be infinitely better to enquire into the sources of their own immoralities, and endeavour to establish some system of prevention, to secure them against the deserved imputation of being disgraced by more public executions than are exhibited almost in all Europe besides. But such has been the absurdity of their conduct, that, they have been always attempting the improvement of others, while they, of all people, have required reformation the most. A few years will awaken them to a sense of their own folly in this respect, but not till their pride is humbled by the French, and they are forced to do that from necessity which they long since should have performed of choice.
OCTOBER 6.
From PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.
We hear that the President of the United States intends acting as a commander in chief of the militia marching to the westward, and sets out this morning for the rendezvous at Carlisle, escorted by a party of horse under the command of Col. Forrest.
SEPT. 30.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability in Philadelphia, to his friend here, of the above date.
“The President, accompanied by Col. Hamilton and Mr. Dandridge, has just left town for Carlisle, the rendezvous of the Jersey and Pennsylvania militia. The Virginia and Maryland militia are all moving forward to Fort-Cumberland. Gov. Lee, of Virginia is the Commander in Chief of the army against the insurgents. Many of those deluded people are endeavouring now to make their peace; I expect however, it is too late for some of them.
“The citizens of Philadelphia have for a few days been under some alarm; the fatal disease of the last year has again appeared; however, as yet we are under no very serious apprehensions—It is true some sudden deaths happen every day—two of Mr. Hodgdon’s Clerks are dead—two others of our acquaintance were taken ill on Wednesday last.
“We have no official accounts from Gen. Wayne; all anxiety to hear from him.”
IMPORTANT.
“P. S. Mr. Fenno has just favoured me with the inclosed Hand-Bill published in Baltimore.”
Hand-Bill.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 27. By two gentlemen just arrived from Kentucky we have been favoured with the following very
Important Intelligence.
Lexington, Sept. 8, 1794. An Express arrived here on Saturday evening about 8 o’clock with letters from the army, from which we have collected the following particulars:—
“ON the 20th ult. about 146 miles advance of Grenville, the advance guard, consisting of two companies, were attacked by about 1100 Indians and Canadian militia; the attack being sudden and unexpected, the advance guard fell back on the main army and threw them into
confusion, which occasioned a retreat of about 100 paces before they formed again; after forming, not more than two heavy fires were exchanged before they were ordered to charge the enemy, which was instantly done; upon which the enemy immediately gave ground, and our men rushing forward with impetuosity, the enemy were dislodged from their coverts, and the cavalry taking advantage of that event, pursued them about two miles, when they dispersed. The action continued about an hour and a quarter; we had about 30 men killed, and 80 wounded; among the former are Capt. Campbell of the cavalry, and Lieut. Towles of the infantry. Among the latter are Capt. Slough, Capt. Vanranfaleer, Capt. Prior and Lieut. Campbell Smith, of the federal army;—Seven of the Volunteers were killed, and fourteen wounded. One hundred and twenty-seven scalps were taken, and a number killed in the river that were not scalped. The army remained three days on the ground, and returned to Fort-Defiance, at the mouth of the Auglaize, where they were on the 24th ult.
The action happened within sight of a strong British fort, regularly built, and garrisoned with three hundred men, between forty and fifty miles below Fort-Defiance, on the Maumee of the Lakes. The commander in chief sent a flag to major Campbell, commander of the British garrison, to march his men out to the nearest British post, and give up the fort, both of which he positively refused. The Indians had 5000 acres of land in corn, all in excellent order on the bottoms of the Maumee river, a considerable quantity of which the army have destroyed.
From NEW-YORK, October 1.
Accounts from Philadelphia state, that several persons have died there suddenly, during the last week, which alarmed some. The subjects were not yellow, but the fever was putrid. Yet the authority reports that it has not been more healthy there for many years.
Accounts from New Haven state, that the fever rather increases than otherwise.
Our accounts from Poughkeepsie, Albany, &c. contain melancholy details of sick families and sudden deaths, by nervous, bilious and putrid fevers.
From the West-Indies we have also distressing accounts of the ravages of fatal disease.
A large army has marched, to rendezvous at Carlisle, for the purpose of reducing the opponents of the excise law, in the western counties of Pennsylvania, to a sense of their duty, and it is said, that the President of the United States has set out with an intention of heading the army. It is sincerely to be hoped, however, that there will be no blood spilt on the melancholy occasion.
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, to a person in Philadelphia, dated Sept. 25.
“I returned last evening from a ten days excursion with the troops of horse of this place, by a requisition of the executive of this place, to the South and North mountains, to quiet the insurgents in those quarters, which we have effected without opposition, by bringing 100 and odd of the principal actors to Hager’s Town, some of whom, were admitted to bail, others remained in confinement when we marched from that place on Monday last.
“On our march out, we were joined by two troops of horse, one from George-Town, and the other from Frederick, which increased our number to 90 odd effective horse, and on the day of our return, were joined by another troop from Annapolis. A considerable body of Infantry from this place, and other parts of the state, marched to Frederick-Town, but as no opposition took place, they were not ordered further, and are now returning. We were altogether volunteers who marched on a few hours notice. So much for military matters.
AUTHENTIC.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, belonging to this town, who within a few years has travelled almost all over Europe, to his friend in this town, dated
“Lisbon, August 4, 1794.
“I am rejoiced at last, that the spirit of America is rising, to redress in some measure, the injuries, if not resent the insults, offered to her citizens—we were so low in the estimation of all the world, before the late measures adopted by Congress, and the arrival of Mr. Jay in London, that I felt almost humble enough to pass for an Englishman; but thank GOD and the French, the tables are turning and our enemies will soon find themselves in the pit, they have been preparing for us. As men I can feel as much affection for the English as any other nation; but the rancorous enmity of that government against ours never can be subdued. I do not find it so in other countries; for I believe thro’ Europe, (not excepting Spain herself,) we have ten friends to their one. I would by no means insinuate that the Spaniards are our friends; on the contrary, I believe they were in solemn league with Great-Britain, to attempt our destruction; but still, they love us better, or rather hate us less , than they do the English, by ten to one—they acknowledge we must be a great nation, but they say our Navy is still growing in the woods, and a century must revolve before it can find its way to the water.
I think nothing can be more obvious than the necessity of a few 40 gun ships to join the Portuguese squadron against the Algerines—this country has a great partiality for us, and would not be the willing instruments of our injury; but as the terms on which they demand peace are always before the Dey, you must not be surprised if you find our old friend paying the difference between them, and a peace concluded
as suddenly as was the late truce; and then we shall be in a more deplorable situation than ever, for no money will purchase our brethren in slavery, or a peace.—I am now sacrificing the dearest enjoyments of my life, to attend to the politics of this distracted part of the creation; however as I go every where, and cannot help seeing too much, not to feel a great deal, I may be allowed to express a little, and subjoin a sincere wish, that my country may exert the ample powers the possess, to make herself as respectable as she is just, in the eyes of mankind.”
S A L E M, Sept. 20.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Jacob Crowninshield at St. Helena, July 3, 1794.
“The French privateers have captured all the English country ships—The John, of Boston, Folger, and the Providence, Dean, were both at Calcutta the 3d April—the former just arrived—the latter bound to Orend. Mr. Joseph Morton, of Boston, arrived at Calcutta from Madras, and was well, as was Capt. Folger.”
NEWBURYPORT, Sept. 30.
FIRE. —On Sunday morning last, between the hours of 3 and 4, the town was alarmed by the cry of fire. It proved to be on the wharf owned by Mr. Moses BROWN, merchant, formerly known by the name of Hooper’s wharf.—The brick dwelling house, distillery, and all the buildings, except one large store at the end of the wharf, were entirely consumed. The loss is estimated at about 4000 pounds.
The inhabitants of Newburyport feel themselves under obligations to their brethren of Newbury, Salisbury and Amesbury, for their friendly and early assistance.
From a Georgetown (Maryland) Paper, of September 5.
Information has been received from a gentleman who left Hager’s-town the 3d inst. that when the draught was to have taken place there a party opposed it, beat their officers from the field, and at night put up what they called a Liberty Pole, which was cut down next morning by the magistrates, and some of the better disposed part of the inhabitants. Exasperated at which the mob gave the alarm in the country adjacent, and were joined by a number of the country people, who assisted in putting up a second pole, and swore they would kill any person who should attempt to take it down. They also formed in ranks to the amount of three or four hundred, beat some who refused to join them and threatened to march to Middletown and Funk’s-town and put up Liberty Poles at those places. It may be added, much to the credit of the merchants in Hager’s-Town, that they refused to sell, either powder or flints to the mob, who seemed badly furnished with those articles. Our informant adds, that a gentleman had just arrived at Hager’s-Town from Pittsburgh, who informs, that the rioters in that quarter had all dispersed, and agreed to submit to the laws.
PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 7.
ROCHESTER, Sept. 17, 1794.
Yesterday the second battalion of the second regiment, commanded by Major Furber, was mustered in this town; at twelve o’clock the several companies appeared on the parade, at one o’clock the commandant of the regiment, Maj. Taylor and Major Fisher with a respectable number of gentlemen arrived at Major Perkins’s, under a military escort. After dinner the troops were inspected by the Brigade Inspector, and received by the commandant of the regiment, and after performing a variety of military manoeuvres were dismissed by Major Furber. The military appearance and accuracy of the officers in their manoeuvres, and the good conduct and proficiency of the troops far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. The fight gave the greatest satisfaction to a large concourse of attentive spectators.
