A Proclamation.
WHEREAS from a hope, that the combinations against the Constitution and Laws of the United States in certain of the Western Counties of Pennsylvania would yield to time and reflection, I thought it sufficient, in the first instance, rather to take measures for calling forth the militia, than immediately to embody them;—but the moment is now come, when the overtures of forgiveness with no other condition, than a submission to law, have been only partially accepted—when every form of conciliation, not inconsistent with the being of government, has been adopted without effect;—when the well disposed, in those counties, are unable by their influence, and example to reclaim the wicked from their fury, and are compelled to associate in their own defence—when the proffered lenity has been perversely misinterpreted into an apprehension, that the citizens will march with reluctance;—when the opportunity of examining the serious consequences of a treasonable opposition has been employed in propagating principles of anarchy, endeavoring through emissaries to alienate the friends of order from its support, and inviting its enemies to perpetrate similar acts of insurrection;—when it is manifest that violence would continue to be exercised upon every attempt to enforce the laws,—when therefore government is set at defiance, the contest being whether a small portion of the United States shall dictate to the whole union, and at the expence of those, who desire peace, indulge a desperate ambition.
NOW THEREFORE I GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, in obedience to that high and irresistible duty consigned to me by the Constitution “to take care that the laws be faithfully executed;”—deploring that the American name should be sullied by the outrages of citizens on their own government;—commiserating such as remain obstinate from delusion; but resolved in perfect reliance on that gracious providence which so signally displays its goodness towards this country, to reduce the refractory to a due subordination to the law; DO HEREBY declare and make known, that with a satisfaction, which can be equalled only by the merits of the militia, summoned into service from the States of New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, I have received intelligence of their patriotic alacrity, in obeying the call of the present, though painful, yet commanding necessity; that a force, which according to every reasonable expectation is adequate to the exigency, is already in motion to the scene of disaffection; that those who have confided, or shall confide in the protection of government, shall meet full succour under the standard, and from the arms of the United States; that those who having offended against the law have since invited themselves to indemnity, will be treated with the most liberal good faith, if they shall not have forfeited their claim by any subsequent conduct; and that instructions are given accordingly.
And I do moreover exhort all individuals, officers, and bodies of men, to contemplate, with abhorrence, the measures leading directly or indirectly to those crimes, which produce this resort to military coercion; to check, in their respective spheres the efforts of misguided or designing men to substitute their misrepresentations in the place of truth, and their discontent in the place of stable government; and to call to mind, that as the people of the United States have been permitted under the divine favor, in perfect freedom, and after solemn deliberation, and in an enlightened age, to elect their own government, so will their gratitude for this inestimable blessing be best distinguished by firm exertions to maintain the constitution and the laws.
And, lastly, I again warn all persons whomsoever and wherefoever, not to abet, aid or comfort the insurgents aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their peril; and I do also require all officers and other citizens, according to their several duties, as far as may be in their power, to bring under the cognizance of the law all offenders in the premises.
In testimony whereof I have caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand. Done at the (L. S.) city of Philadelphia, the twenty-fifth day of September, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the nineteenth.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
By the President, EDM: RANDOLPH.
State of New-Hampshire. In the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.
An act granting a tax, to make the State road (so called) in Stoddard.
(L.S.) * Whereas the inhabitants of said Stoddard, have petitioned this Court, that they may be authorized to lay a tax of two pence per acre on all the lands in said town, for the purpose of making passable the roads and bridges in said town; and it appearing reasonable that they should have authority to lay such a tax for the purpose of making and repairing the road laid out in said town, by order of the Legislature.
Therefore, BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court, convened, That the selectmen of said Stoddard, for the time being, be, and they hereby are authorized and empowered to lay a tax of two pence per acre on all the lands in said Stoddard, owned by residents or non-residents, for the sole purpose of making and repairing the road through said town, leading from Hale's bridge to M'Gregore's bridge (so called,) lately laid out by order of the Legislature; and to assess and collect the same from the owners of said land, in the same manner as State taxes are assessed and collected, following the same directions in making distresses upon the inhabitants, or selling the lands of non-residents, who may be delinquent in paying their taxes, as the law points out with regard to State taxes; and all distresses made upon the inhabitants, or sales of land of non-residents, who may be deficient in paying their proportion of the tax aforesaid, shall be of equal validity as distresses or sales made for delinquency in the payment of State taxes.
And be it further enacted, That Nathaniel Emerson Esq. be, and he hereby is authorized and empowered to direct and superintend the expenditure of the money which may be raised by the tax aforesaid, for the sole purpose aforesaid, and the collector or collectors of the same, are hereby required to pay him the said Nath'l Emerson, Esq. the sums which by warrant of the selectmen or assessors of said Stoddard, be, or they may be ordered to collect according to the times which said selectmen or assessors shall in their warrant appoint; and the said Nathaniel Emerson, Esq. shall give bond to the inhabitants of Stoddard, if the selectmen require it, in a reasonable sum for the faithful discharge of the duties required of him by this act; and shall render an account of said expenditures to the Court of Common-Pleas for the county of Cheshire, which Court are also hereby authorized to examine, and allow the accounts that may be rendered as aforesaid, and also to allow out of the said monies such compensation to the said Nathaniel Emerson, Esq. for his services as they may judge reasonable.
And be it further enacted, That all persons whose land shall be taxed, by virtue of this act, shall have a right to discharge the same by labour, at four pence per hour, and the said Nathaniel Emerson, before the list of taxes is delivered to the constable to collect, shall cause a copy thereof, and of this act to be posted up in some public place in said Stoddard, and published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, giving at least three weeks notice of the time when said labour may be done; and in case any person shall discharge all, or any part of his taxes in labour, the said Nathaniel Emerson shall minute the same on the list, and the Constable shall then proceed to collect whatever appears to be due in matter aforesaid.

BOISLE-DUC, July 17. The Governor of our city having received orders to put the place into a state of defence, has ordered all the sluices to be opened to effect an inundation. This measure has succeeded partially, the want of rain having left the waters very low. The same attempt has been made, with as little success, at Heusden, Capelle, and Breda.
SALEM, October 7.
Gaudet, Barbaroux, Salle, Buzot and Pétion, who made their escape, when the Brissotine party, to which they belonged, was destroyed, have lately been hunted down by “the Patriots,” in the environs of St. Emilion. Gaudet and Salle were taken, tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal, condemned and executed. Barbaroux, despairing of making his escape, shot himself, and was found expiring in his blood. Buzot and Pétion were not yet taken, but they were still searching for them.
The British Commanders at St. Domingo have issued a proclamation, inviting the Negroes who have been in arms under Polverel and Santhonax, to return to their masters and their labour, promising them full pardon, and, over and above, a pecuniary recompence for any arms or ammunition they may bring with them.
STEPHEN LEVAUX, Governor General, writes from Port-de-Paix, to the French Consul at Charleston.—That every thing sent them, in consequence of a million for that purpose, has arrived safely in port.—That the patriotic gifts from their brethren in Charleston excited feelings which none but the Sans Culottes, know how to estimate.—That to complete their good fortune, 1600 barrels of flour sent by the minister FAUCHET, arrived just at the same time—and, That they will entirely drive from that part of the world, those cowards, who, in the month of January last, offered them gold, in hopes that thereby they might not have to fight them.
Our French Allies enjoy a most abundant harvest this year: the same allowances of bread to the people, still continue, notwithstanding, and the vast surplus of grain is stored to support the war.
In Spain, Portugal, and other parts of Europe, the harvest is likewise abundant, as well as in Barbary. The American Consul at Cadiz writes, that “American growth will not be worth above 30 RVn per fanegue.”

LATEST News from Europe!
Impartiality.—Authenticity
New Order of Things in France.
PARIS, August 1. THE Convention this day nominated a new Committee of Public Safety. It now consists of LEGENDRE, GOUPILLEAU, MERLIN, ANDREW DUMONT, BERNARD, and JEAN DEBRIE. They are of the party which ROBESPIERRE called Moderates , or Indulgents .
NATIONAL CONVENTION—LEON TRE said, “I demand the repeal of the law of the 10th of June, relative to the new organization of the Revolutionary Tribunal, as it is tantamount to Martial Law.”
The decree was instantly and unanimously repealed, amidst the plaudits of the Convention.
FERONE—“I have beheld with a certain degree of astonishment mingled with horror, in the list of the Members presented, in order to compose the Revolutionary Tribunal, the names of men who deserve the public execration. All Paris demands of you the justly merited punishment of Fouquier Tinville—[Plaudits]—You have sent to the Revolutionary Tribunal, the infamous Dumas and the Jurymen, who with him participated in the crimes of Robespierre. I shall prove to you that Fouquier is equally guilty; for if the President and the Jurymen were influenced by the tyrant, the Public Accuser must also have been his creature, since he drew up the acts of accusation. I demand then, that Fouquier Tenville may be sent to expiate in hell, the torrents of blood which he has shed.—[Plaudits.]
Brival and Bourdon mentioned several anecdotes relative to the bloody monster Robespierre. The first stated, that he had threatened to discharge the Jurymen of the Revolutionary Tribunal, because they had not put every one to death, that was sent by him before the Tribunal; and the second affirmed, that four of them, at the trial of Coffin, were menaced with assassination, because they resisted the Tyrant's orders.
Barrere observed, that in the course of the three last days, a great change had been produced, “The political horizon of France, (says he) has been suddenly enlightened. The punishment of the tyrant hath fully discovered to us that infernal conspiracy which he meditated against the Representatives of the People.”
Lebon mounted the Tribune. Bourdon—“There is the hangman Robespierre made use of!”
Andrew Dumont—“Citizens, we have heard unpleasant truths. Justice has a long time been outraged in the Department of the North, and Pas de Calais. The hangman, chosen by Robespierre, has made rivers of blood. Lebon, this sanguinary monster, drunk with blood and covered with crimes and curses, has dared to contaminate the Tribune with his presence, that he might exhale the venom of his infernal soul.—Not a minute passes but he meditates some new crime, and prepares a new assassin. Away, to hell! thou monster! This vile wretch will doubtless soon expiate his crimes, by being cut off from society. The time is come, when his associates will receive the just wages of their iniquity. The reign of traitors and blood-suckers is no more. I demand the report of the decree by which you passed to the order of the day upon the accusation of Lebon. I demand his arrest and speedy punishment.”
LEBON was heard in his justification, and laid all the blame on the bloody tyrant Robespierre.
La section des Champs Elysees, came to demand the liberty of seven patriots, whom LUBIN one of ROBESPIERRE's accomplices, had incarcerated.
MERLIN of Thionville—“Your committees labour night and day to separate the patriots from the aristocrats, that they may smite the latter with a rod of iron, and restore the oppressed to freedom and their duties.”
To other solicitations for enlarging persons detained, Barrere thus replied, “The two committees of General Safety and Public Welfare, are occupied incessantly with restoring freedom to the patriots, and great numbers have liberty. But the aristocracy must not be suffered to turn to its advantage the revolution which is now operating; the law of September 17, will be rigidly executed.”
SUNDAY, Aug. 3.
We traversed, say the committee who went in search of Robespierre, the great Hall, whence the Conspirators were fled. Upon entering that of the Secretaries, the elder Robespierre shot himself in the mouth with a pistol; at the same instant he received a second ball from a

Gens d'Armes. The tyrant fell bathed in his blood. A Sans Culotte approached him, and with great coolness said
THERE IS A SUPREME BEING!
All the other conspirators had hid themselves in the most secret places. One was dragged from a chimney, another from a press. Lebas, flabbed in several places, was in a wood-hole. Couthon, also wounded, was behind a desk. They were all arrested, with the utmost quiet. Humanity has nothing to mourn for in the execution of this national justice.
Citizen Abaredé, Member of the Deputation. During this business, a man entered, having the watch word at the gate. I demanded to know what he wanted—He replied, "Read this paper, and you will know my business." I read as follows:—
PERMANENT SITTING OF JACOBINS, 9th THERMIDOR.
"The Popular Society decrees, that twelve Members, taken from among them, and pointed out by name, shall go immediately to the Commune, and take part in their proceedings."
[Signed] "VIVIER, President."
A person present snatched the paper from me, and said he should take it to the Popular Representative Leonard Bourdon. As since then I have heard nothing more of it, I mention it, for fear the designing should have suppressed the circumstance from the knowledge of the Convention.
TUESDAY, AUG. 5.
BOURDON of Paris demanded the reform of an abuse. A crowd of excellent citizens, said he, groan yet in the dungeon of guilt, and the Convention will draw down the benedictions of the people by restoring them to their distressed families. He proposed, to expedite this happy moment.
1. That the Committee of General Safety shall liberate those imprisoned as suspected, whose detention has not been ordered by the law of September 17.
2. That all the Revolutionary Committees shall communicate to those detained, to their relatives or friends, the motives of their arrest.—Adopted.
A member demanded the extension of this obligation upon the Representatives of the people in employment, and upon the committee of General Safety. Decreed.
On the 29th the municipal officers, 68 in number, who had collected themselves in the Hall of the Commune, and declared for Robespierre, having all been found guilty, were executed; as was also a Deputy, who had been a Commissioner with the army, and was convicted of being accessory to the plots of Robespierre. A General officer was also guillotined at the same time.
During these movements, this city for some time seemed threatened with complete ruin;—and at one moment it was doubtful which party would prevail. The storm, however, has some what subsided, but few lives have been lost, and these chiefly such as shewed any inclination to resist, or who did not at the moment heartily support the deputies of the Convention, who were dispatched to the different quarters of the capital, to see the orders of the Convention carried into effect.
In proportion to the fear with which the sanguinary proceedings of Robespierre filled the minds of all men, so are the execrations with which his memory is now loaded. It is impossible to perceive the general indignation now expressed against him without wondering at the address and policy of a man who could contrive to keep a whole people in fear, and make them not only subservient to, but in appearance to approve of, measures dictated by one whom each individual execrated in his heart.
We hope soon to see peace and order perfectly restored, but many among us are apprehensive that what has happened is but the prelude of a tragedy, which, before many months, will deluge France with blood.
LONDON, August 22.
By the Paris papers which have now come to hand down to the date of the 7th instant, it appears, that since the execution of Robespierre and his more immediate accomplices, not less than seventy attached to the cause have been bro't to the guillotine—the week before, near an hundred suffered.
Some particulars not yet published are, that when Robespierre was denounced by Tallien, and ordered to be arrested, the younger Robespierre said, "I am guilty as my brother—I partake of his virtues. I therefore desire to be included in the decree of arrest." He was so, and was executed, as was Couthon, and St. Just, who also wished to be thus included.
When Chaumette was guillotined, he laid down his head, and only said, Chacun a son tour —"Every one has his turn."
Successes of the French.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, AUG. 2. GENERAL PICHEGRU TO THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC WELFARE.
"You are, without doubt, already informed, Citizens Representatives, that General Moreau, the day before yesterday, took possession of the isle of Cadland. He took there 70 pieces of cannon, a third of them brass, tents, waggons, &c."
"The possession of this island will make it impracticable for the enemy to evacuate Sluys, and I hope soon that fortresses, and all that it contains, will fall into the power of the Republic. According to reports, there is a numerous artillery there, many troops, and ammunition of all kinds."
"All our soldiers employed in this expedition, signalized themselves with zealous competition."
"The passage of Cacythe furnished them a glorious occasion. This strait is near 100 feet wide, and 9 or 10 feet deep; our only means of crossing it were a few boats, and the bravery of Republicans which supplied the rest."
"Eight companies of grenadiers advanced to the Canal, and gained the boats, precipitating themselves into them, amid the dreadful fire from the dyke on the opposite bank. Several of these not finding room in the boats, plunged into the water, and, swimming, aided to guide them forward."
"The Chasseurs of Mount de Cassel, and the carbineers of the 14th regiment of light infantry, made the same manœuvre. It appeared so desperate to the enemy, that panic struck, they flew towards Yseudick, abandoning guns, tents, baggage, and ammunition of all kinds."
"One of the boats was filled with cannoniers, who, upon the opposite bank instantly found cannon to fire at the fugitives, who had abandoned them."
"Our loss has not been commensurate with the boldness of the enterprise."
"I transmit you the names of those who most signalized themselves in the action:
"Citizens Bernard, a corporal, Beugny, a sergeant, and Ventre, sergeant-major of the battalion of Chasseurs of Mont Cassel, conducted nine or ten boats by swimming."
"Citizen Latis, Captain of Grenadiers of the 16th regiment, was the first who leaped into the boats."
"Citizen Bonnot, aid-de-camp of Gen. Moreau, was the man who swam across, guiding the first boat."
"Citizen Bouilly, Capt. of Carbineers of the 4th battalion of Chasseurs, kept himself undiscovered upon the bank of the canal, firing his carbine upon the cannoniers of a battery which kept up a constant fire until the moment of his being able to pass, which he did one of the first."
"I send you annexed a letter from Gen. Jardon, who, a native of Liege, desires to be sent to command there, and to make levies. This, which might be advantageous under one aspect, has its contrary under another. I think it difficult for any man in authority to be just and impartial, when surrounded by relations and friends, and yet more exposed, it may be, to the lute of some resentments. I beg your intentions on that head, or that you will send them to him direct."
Signed. "PICHEGRU."
Ostend, 12 Thermidor.
The army of the Western Pyrenees obtained on the 6th new successes; and after a desperate resistance, they carried, by the point of the bayonet, the fine valley of Bañan, and that of Lernil, two considerable forts—and Fontarabia is nearly destroyed by the bombardment.
They passed defiles extremely narrow, scaled the most alarming precipices, and took possession of redoubts, placed upon the lofty mountains which command the Bidasoa. The enemy, who had 12,000 men, were repulsed on all sides, and the fruits of this victory are immense in artillery and various stores.
INTELLIGENCE FROM FLUSHING. Friday Night, (late) Aug. 15.
By a gentleman, on whose veracity we may rely, and who left Bruges on Monday last, we are informed, that the French army in Cadland, and before Sluys, amounts to 27,000 men, all well clothed, and plentifully provided with every article; but, notwithstanding these advantages, nearly one half of them are sick and unfit for service.
The hospitals at Ghent, Bruges, and Ostend, contain 9000 men, who were all in good health before the commencement of the siege.
SATURDAY, AUG. 16.
The disorder is epidemical in the army; it is a virulent putrid dysentery, and carries off great numbers daily.
The French generals, sensible of the havoc it will make in their armies, if the siege continues much longer, seem resolved to use the greatest efforts to take the town immediately.
For this purpose, they on Saturday last bro't from Bruges, 30 brass 24 pounders, and began the same evening to push on the second parallel.
This formidable ordnance began playing on the town on Wednesday night, and still continues. The town, however, holds out; and the brave commandant, Gen. Van der Duyn, and the handful of men which compose the garrison, seem determined to defend it to the last extremity.
SUNDAY, AUG. 17.
Some few days ago the Carmagnols were most completely ensnared. General Van der Duyn, in the evening, ordered a large quantity of fagots and other fire-wood to be heaped together, in three different parts of the town, not far from the warehouses and magazines, which he set fire to; at the same time keeping up a brisk cannonade from the ramparts.
At nine in the evening, the whole horizon seemed in a blaze, and the fire from the town flackening, every one imagined it was in flames, and looked on its fall as inevitable. During the night, the fires, at intervals, seemed to burn with less vehemence, and one was entirely extinguished. The French kept up a heavy fire all night, and towards morning fired entirely with red hot shot; and threw bombs and shells, into the town from every side.
As day-light approached the Commandant ordered two fires to be lighted, the gates opened, and the draw bridges let down: ceasing, at the same time, to fire from the ramparts.
The French on this advanced, in great numbers, to take possession of the town before it should be reduced to a heap of ashes; and in a most confused and disorderly manner, crossed the inundations where the water was fordable.
When they had advanced as near as the Commandant wished them to come, they were, to their unspeakable astonishment, saluted with a shower of grape shot from all the guns on the ramparts, and galled in the severest manner, during their retreat. They lost on this occasion near 1800 men, who were either killed or drowned, and near 200 wounded were next morning brought into Bruges.
The French did not fire a single shot during the three following days, and now proceed with the greatest circumspection; being pretty well convinced, they will not obtain Sluys so easy as they obtained Breda last year.
AUGUST 23.
So long ago as Monday last we were called upon to state, as a prevailing report, that the French had raised the siege of Sluys, in Dutch Flanders:—On Thursday night some fresh inducement offered for us to believe this, and we have now to add, that a letter, received yesterday from Dover, positively assures us, on the authority of a cutter arrived in the Downs, of the fact,—the whole loss sustained by the enemy since the commencement of the siege is estimated at above 5000 men, independent of those who have fallen a sacrifice to the unhealthy situation occupied, particularly in the island of Cadland.
Our account from Dover, also represent that Island is completely evacuated:—the retreat of the French is said to have commenced immediately after their repulse, mentioned in this paper under the head Siege of Sluys—perhaps about Friday le'night, or Saturday last.
Defectors also report, that Gen. Pichegru has received orders to wait entirely new instructions from Paris.
The advanced posts of the French army are now at a great distance from the British Camp, where every thing remains as quiet as if it were a period of profound peace.
Accounts from Barcelona state, that the King of Spain is extremely dissatisfied with the capitulation which the garrison of Collioure concluded with the enemy. The officers who signed it have been arrested, and the garrison, consisting of 6000 men are again to serve against France. The Spanish army, near Figueras, consists of 20,000 men. The French army in that neighbourhood consists of 40,000. The fortress of Bellecarde, a short time before the siege, was provided with 84 pieces of brass cannon.
REVOLUTION AT GENEVA.
Geneva, July 22, 1794.
Tyranny and aristocracy have at last yielded to the popular party; and, like other revolutions, it has been attended by murder, violence, and other concomitant cruelties.
Soulavia and Merle, two Commissioners, headed the triumphant party on the 18th of July.—About 1000 of the principal inhabitants were committed to prison, on a charge of having, in the year 1792, encouraged the introduction of foreign troops; among this number was the famous M. Necker, the financier, and M. Doeda-ti.
A Revolutionary Tribunal, composed of 2 members, was immediately instituted, and of the 21st, M. du Cayla, a venerable Syndic; Provost Cabanis, Procurator general; De Rochemond, Advocate; De Combe, Lieutenant-Colonel in the Hanoverian service; Menier l'Rouge; Vivien le Cor; and Chenault Horlogers were convicted and instantly shot. Several others, who were acquitted by the Tribunal, were executed by the populace.
About 250 persons who were marked for destruction, happily escaped at the commencement of the troubles.
This event may, probably, be the foundation of a rupture between France and the Swiss Cantons.
FLUSHING. OF THE ARMIES—The latest.
Wednesday Aug. 20
A boat arrived here last night from Sluys with an Officer on board, who brings the agreeable intelligence of the Commandant and Garrison being all in the highest spirits, and under no fears from the safety of the place. The works are very little injured; and the greatest damage is among the houses, which are very much battered.
Owing to the inundation, which effectually prevented the French from approaching within musket-shot, and the advantageous and commanding position of the ramparts, the Dutch have not yet lost more than between thirty and forty men, killed and wounded.
They have ammunition for six weeks longer, and provisions for three months.
The casemates are all of bomb-proof. Water, which they at first dreaded a want of, is in abundance from the late heavy rains which has favoured the besieged very much, and greatly harassed and distressed the French, whose infantry are obliged to stand up to the knee in water, and their cavalry immersed in the mud. Such are the accounts given by the officer of the Dutch Admiral at this port, who immediately sent the accounts off express to the Hague. The French dreading a disembarkation at Cadland, are busily employed in constructing batteries on the Coast. They frequently fire at the ships, but to no purpose; the distance is too great for the balls to do any execution.
BOSTON, October 15.
ORIGINAL INFORMATION!
The mission of Mr. JAY first ought to arrest attention. On this subject, we are happy in laying before our readers the following extracts derived from sources of the first respectability.
"LONDON, AUG. 22, 1794."
"I AM happy to inform you, that the prospect of accommodation with America, more than dawns, it has appearance of day light."
Restoration or compensation for captures on the November order, will be made, and you should press all your friends, as early as possible to send over their appeals. A Proclamation is now out, to prolong the time of appeal* for American ships, even though beyond the limited time.—This I before advised, and now confirm. †Your friend C. is now sanguine, and on good grounds of accommodation. There is now a good understanding, and the new Ministry getting more seated to business. The two great leading points, the revocation of the January order, and Mr. JAY's appointment, were two Pillies of Peace, though delay only was created to give time to operations—when they were felt, I was persuaded Moderation and Justice would prevail."
*According to the maritime laws of Great-Britain, we understand, that appeals, to be legal, must be made within twelve months.
†The following is the official order referred to in this COMMUNICATION:
At the Court at St. James's, the 6th Aug. 1794.
PRESENT,
The King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas, in many of his Majesty's Vice Admiralty Courts in the West-Indies, sentences of condemnation have passed against ships and goods belonging to the subjects of the United States of America; and whereas, from ignorance of rules respecting the times of appealing, or from inability to find the security required, or from other just and reasonable impediments, the claimants have been prevented from duly, entering and prosecuting their appeals from the said sentences; and whereas it hath been represented to his Majesty, on their behalf, that they are desirous of entering and prosecuting the same; his Majesty is thereupon pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order and it is hereby ordered, that the said parties shall be admitted to their respective appeals, notwithstanding the ordinary times for entering and prosecuting the same may have elapsed, provided the same are entered and prosecuted within a reasonable time, to be approved by the Lords Commissioners of appeals in prize causes.

"The Hall of the Jacobins in Paris, having been found equally inimical to the liberty of the people, as the Bastille, their assembly hath been dispersed, and the key deposited with the Convention. This trophy, of a new conquest over tyranny, will be sent to the celebrated WASHINGTON, accompanied by a request to place it, beside that of the bastille—and from thence to learn that the despotism of Jacobin Clubs, wherever instituted, is not excelled by the despotism of absolute monarchy."
From PHILAD. OCT. 8, 1794.
The President of the United States has reviewed the army at Carlisle, which amounted to 18,000 men; as finely equipped an army as ever took the field in America.
The sudden return of Gen. WAYNE, from before the British fort on the Miami, to the Grand Claize, was occasioned, we learn, by a dispatch from Government, acquainting him of the statu quo, agreed on between the United States and Great-Britain, during the pending negotiations.
COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Capt. RUSSEL arrived here from Russia, spoke three French 40 gun frigates off the banks of Newfoundland, who had taken three prizes, and were on a cruise, after which they intended sailing for Boston or New-York.
RE-CAPTURE OF ST. LUCIA.
A vessel is said to have arrived at Salem, on Tuesday last, in a short passage from St. Lucia, which brings an account, that the French patriots, mulattoes, and negroes, united, have RETAKEN the town, and put all the British and Aristocrats to the sword.
CONFIRMATION.
A letter from Fort Royal, (Martinico) dated Sept. 10, 1794, received last evening, confirms the above report, and adds, that the French Privateers are cruising off Fort Royal Bay, and in the channel of St. Lucia. This happy circumstance for the French took place on the 29th August. This letter further informs, that Captain Chase, in the brig industry, had arrived at Fort Royal, where his stay would be short—

That a proclamation had been published throughout the British Islands, forbidding American vessels coming there after October, till then they are allowed to bring live Stock and Lumber only.
ARTICLE REVOKED.
THAT it shall be lawful to stop and detain all ships loaded wholly or part with corn, flour or meal, bound to any port in France, or any port occupied by the armies of France, and to lend them to such ports as shall be most convenient, in order that such corn, meal or flour, may be purchased on behalf of his Majesty's government, and the ships be released after such purchase, and after a due allowance for freight; or that the masters of such ships, on giving due security, to be approved of by the Court of Admiralty, be permitted to proceed to dispose of their cargoes, of corn, meal or flour, in the ports of any country in amity with his Majesty.
NEUTRAL POWERS.
The Danes and Swedes have now in actual service, 30 ships of the line. They have threatened to detain all the British vessels in the Baltic, unless their terms are complied with by the British Cabinet. Their terms are—a free trade with the French Republic; full indemnification for past losses and insults, and security for the future.
SUMMARY—FOREIGN.
BY the late accounts from Europe, it appears that the affairs of France wear a most favorable aspect, tranquillity pervades every department—The Convention, the Army, and the People, are united in the great cause of Liberty and move in a poalanz in opposition to the Combined Despots. In England, on the contrary, mobs and confusion rage in the metropolis. The crisis is important, and every moment is big with the fate of Europe.
PUBLIC THANKSGIVING.
His Excellency the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council, has appointed Thursday, the twentieth day of November next, as a day of Public Thanksgiving throughout this Commonwealth.
SALE, October 14.
Saturday afternoon arrived at Sandy-Bay, four shallops, with fifty French persons on board, viz. men, women and children, six shallops more are hourly expected: Their account of themselves is, that St. Peters was taken by the English some months since, and that the inhabitants were permitted to remain there till within a few weeks, when they were obliged to desert the place; that they accordingly betook themselves to their small vessels with their families, in much want and distress, and are on their way to the French Consul at Boston:—The inhabitants of Sandy-Bay discovered on this occasion their disposition to alleviate the distresses of others, by affording shelter in their own houses to many of these unfortunate sufferers, and liberally contributing to the supply of their wants.
Capt. George Hodges arrived yesterday from St. Lucia, in 30 days. He informs, that the Mulattoes and Negroes from the country were attacked by the British about 15 miles from the town; the Captain and Lieutenant of the British troops were wounded, and a number of soldiers killed: The Mulattoes amounted to above 300, and retain their position. Two French vessels were cruising off St. Lucia, and had taken, in about a week, 22 sail of English vessels, bound in there.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
John T. Gilman, Governor of the State of New-Hampshire: A PROCLAMATION for a Public Thanksgiving.
THE Sovereign Lord, and Benevolent Parent of the Universe, having been pleased to continue to the citizens of this State, the invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty, so that there is none to molest or make us afraid when we would publicly assemble to worship him; and the many unmerited favours bestowed on us as a people, demanding our public acknowledgments and highest praise:
The legislature have appointed Thursday the thirteenth day of November next, to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving throughout this State, and I have thought fit, by and with the Advice of Council, to issue this Proclamation, exhorting Ministers and People of every denomination, religiously to dedicate said day, and to spend a reasonable proportion thereof in their respective places of public worship, calling to mind the many unmerited favours we have experienced, and with hearts filled with gratitude, to praise the name of Almighty God, our Supreme and Bountiful Benefactor, as the free Giver of all Good which we enjoy.
In particular, that he hath been graciously pleased to prevent contagious and mortal disorders from spreading among us:—That health is so generally enjoyed throughout this State: That the hope of the husbandman hath been so far realized, as that we are favored with a comfortable supply of the precious fruits of the field:—That we are so highly favored in the enjoyment of means for promoting useful knowledge: But above all, that the good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people, is still continued among us, and for the hope we have of future happiness. And together with our thanksgiving, let us with humble and penitent hearts implore pardon for our transgressions, and entreat the Father of Mercies, that he would be pleased to continue to us the blessings
we now enjoy, and bestow such favors as we may stand in need of:
That he would keep the Government of the United States, of the several States, and of this in particular, under his holy protection:—That our Rulers may be inspired with that wisdom, prudence and integrity which is necessary to direct them in the discharge of the duties of their respective stations, and with all the people, lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty:—That it would please God to overrule the wars and tumults among nations, so as to subserve his own glory, and the peace, liberty and happiness of mankind:—That if it may be consistent with his holy will, a speedy end may be put to the wars on our frontiers, the opposition (now existing in some parts of particular States) to the laws and government of the United States, cease, and all further hostile measures be prevented.
That it would please the Lord our Creator, Preserver and Bountiful Benefactor, to compassionate the whole world of mankind:—That ignorance, superstition, hypocrisy, and every thing contrary to virtue, may be dispelled and done away:—That the divine charity of the gospel, may be more generally understood, and more universally practiced:—That a true knowledge of the Lord may operate so powerfully on the minds of all, as to produce the most ardent love to him, and good will to our fellow men:—That there may be nothing to hurt or destroy, but all unite with grateful hearts in proclaiming, The Lord reigneth let the Earth rejoice.
And it is recommended and expected, that all persons religiously abstain from all servile labour and such recreations as are unbecoming the solemnity of the day.
Given at the Council-Chamber in Exeter, this 29th day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four; and of the Sovereignty and Independence of the United States of America, the nineteenth.
JOHN T. GILMAN.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 4.
We understand that at a meeting at Parkinson's ferry, on Thursday last, there was a perfect unanimity for submission to the laws, and it was the opinion of the delegates that in their respective townships there was a general disposition to submission.
William Findley and David Redick are appointed to wait on the President of the United States and the Governor of Pennsylvania, with a copy of the resolutions, and to explain to government the present state of this country, and detail such circumstances as may enable the President to judge whether an armed force be now necessary to support the civil authority in these counties.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.
By the ship Abby, Capt. Eames, in 49 days from Cadiz, we have the important intelligence of the taking of St. Sebastian and Fontaravia (in the bay of Biscay) by the French forces; Pamplona had, it was reported, fallen into their hands. The strong fortress of St. Sebastian surrendered without the least defence. Capt. Eames adds, that the Spaniards were under great apprehensions at Cadiz, and that a fleet arrived in a very sickly condition from Ferrol, where they lost a 74 upon the rocks, and landed 1500 sick.
Yesterday arrived the ship Adrianna, Captain Kieren Fitzpatrick, from Amsterdam. Captain Fitzpatrick left the Texel the 26th of August, and the land on the 8th of Sept. and arrived in the Delaware on the 9th instant. (31 days.)
Capt. Fitzpatrick left several American vessels at Amsterdam: among them was the ship John, Whitwell, and the snow Harriot, Holland, loading for Philadelphia.
By the Adrianna from Amsterdam we learn, that the Dutch had not recovered from their fear of a visit from the Carmagnols even at Amsterdam. The arrival of several respectable passengers in this ship, and the known prowess of the French give ground to consider those fears as by no means chimerical. The army of the Sans Culottes is no longer weakened by being led by ci-devants , we have therefore no longer to fear their taking French leave as they did under Dumourier.
OCTOBER 10.
Extract of a letter, dated Carlisle, October 5. "We arrived here on Thursday morning last, after an agreeable march of 11 days, where we found encamped the different troops of horse from Philadelphia, and 500 cavalry from New-Jersey. The small distance from this place (fiver springs) 250 insurgents were armed to attack us, but on our march next morning they disappeared.
"Thursday morning last, at Carlisle, a whispy pole was cut down; the persons who planted it are confined in Carlisle gaol."
"Last night arrived here the President of the United States, escorted by cavalry, the same day also arrived 700 New-Jersey militia; during their march they shot a whispy man."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the army, to his son in this city. Carlisle, October 7th, (Camp.)
"This morning we received accounts that the Whispy Boys were preparing to meet us at Bedford, with their hats under their arms, to ask the President's pardon, and become good subjects in future."
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.
On Thursday last the Court of Oyer and Terminer for this city and county passed sentence of death on Simeon Romine, otherwise called William Townsin, for uttering and publishing as true, a forged order for 400 dollars on the Branch Bank, knowing the same to be forged. He is to be hanged on the second Friday in November next.
BOSTON, Oct. 20.
The late proclamation of the British King is supposed in England, will be quite satisfactory to the Americans who have lost their vessels and cargoes. Yet every one knows that the expenses of pursuing an appeal to the Admiralty of Great Britain will amount to more money than most of the cargoes sold for in the West-Indies.
The permission therefore will be considered as a most gracious manner of adding insult to robbery.
On Saturday last the Circuit Court confirmed the decree of the District Judge, respecting the Schooner Success, lately captured by a boat from the Concorde Frigate—The Schooner to be returned to its original owners.
James Rogers, an American, was tried at the above Court, for assisting in the said boat, at the time of her capture, found guilty, and sentenced to four months imprisonment, and to pay two hundred dollars.
From the PATRIOT ARMY.
Head-Quarters, Carlisle, Oct. 4.
We arrived on Thursday, all well. The Governor arrived an hour before us. We were saluted, and escorted to town, by the Philadelphia troops of horse; we have pitched our tents on the fourth common.
The Jersey cavalry, consisting of 500, are encamped a mile distant. They expect in the course of this day 700 foot from Jersey.
The President of the United States arrived this morning and passed the troops in review, attended by the Governors of Pennsylvania and Jersey, and a number of General Officers.
The cavalry have made some excursions through the country adjacent, and have brought in some prisoners; two of which are confined; another, in attempting to escape from the horseman who had him in charge, was shot and died instantly.
THE PATRIOT ARMY
At the date of our last accounts, were moving on for Pittsburg; the insurgents vanishing before their presence; the horse continually scour the country, and pick up the leaders of the infatuated multitude, and send them to prison for trial and punishment. Two lives have already been lost; but as there are but few, if any, in arms to oppose the Patriot army, it is expected the campaign will not be bloody, but the ringleaders left to expiate their crimes on a gibbet.
One reason assigned why the President of the United States is, in person, with the army, is a disagreement on the point of rank between the Governors of States now at the head of divisions of the troops. In fact, they are constitutionally all equal in rank. Thus circumstanced, to decide who shall command in chief, is difficult; but our beloved President knows, and has applied the remedy.
Near one thousand bears have been killed the present season in the counties of Washington and Hancock; a circumstance unprecedented in the annals of the country. Their approach towards the sea is owing, it is supposed, to the frost in June having killed the berries, fruits, &c. on which they subsisted.
From HALIFAX, Oct. 2.
The following vessels have been adjudicated upon in his Majesty's Court of Admiralty, since the publication of our last list:—Brigs Maria and Potamack, vessels and cargoes condemned; ships Eliza, and Hariot and Eliza, and brigs George Washington and Murciano, vessels acquitted and cargoes condemned; ship Martha, cargo condemned, vessel acquitted, and freight allowed; brig Prudence, vessel and cargo acquitted; schooner Hannah, vessel and cargo acquitted.
