Philadelphia Academy.  SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice- Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, AND  JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's, INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 15th of next month, (April)  An Academy, CONSISTING OF 1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Na- tural History. 2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mer- cantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry and Trigonometry, with their application to Mensuration, Sur- veying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy, &c.—Also, the Principles of Mechanics, Algebra and Fluxions. 3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil His- tory, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well grounded conviction of the expe- diency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and-flou- rishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar- School Education, the Seminary now pro- posed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminent- ly useful.
Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Liter- ary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and ex- cited the most flattering expectations of its success.  Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Aca- demies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor so to con- duct this Seminary of Learning, as to sub- serve the great Interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberality of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an inge- nuous mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, con- stitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman, and the scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situ- ation, if such a change should be found ne- cessary.
A maker of distinguished abilities will be procured to conduct the Mathematical De- partment.  Persons desirous to be employed as Tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the subscribers, to whom also Parents wishing to send their children, will please to make application.

MAP OF NEW-JERSEY. THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the pro- posed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New- Jersey, immediately after their appointment trans- mitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New-York and Philadelphia, and since that time, through the medium of the public prints, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Salter, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless be- ing of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular re- turns, and being convinced that a trading degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the sub- scribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meet- ing of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the num- ber of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to se- cure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.  From the universal approbation exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the sub- scriptions returned would have ensured its im- mediate execution, and the commissioners are pur- sued if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their punctual return at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no farther delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their ex- ecution during the course of the ensuing summer.

Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Nou civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instantis tyranni, Mente quait solida.  MR. FENNO, IT was an error fatal to themselves, and ruinous to the peace of society, when the French, in their revolution, determined to imitate the republic of Rome, rather than the British constitution. The former seems every way unsuitable to the French, while the latter would be beneficial. I do not mean that they should have adopted the de- fects of the British constitution, but those parts only (according to the sensible ideas of the late King of Poland) which experience had proved to be useful, and which were suitable to each country. If they had fol- lowed Montesquieu, rather than Tom Paine, how glorious, instead of disreputable, would have been the result! The Author of the Spirit of Laws was a man of great capacity, "of an Herculean robustness of mind" ac- cording to the emphatical expression of Mr. Burke. After twenty years study of the science of politics, he gave the preference to the English government before all others. He justly calls it "a beautiful system." How did this country improve its condition and its fame, when under the auspices of General Washington and other leading men, the people formed a constitution similar to that of England instead of their former rickety and ruinous system. If the federal constitution had not been adopted, the Sab- bath might have been abolished in the United States, and the guillotine erected in all its horrors.
It is disgraceful to mankind that such a man as Tom Paine, an ignoramus, a drunk- ard, and a blasphemer, should have had so much influence among them. It will prove, to use a strong line from Doctor Young, "Guilt's blunder, and the loudest laugh of hell." Impartial posterity, when they calmly consider Paine's works, will won- der at the infatuation of their forefathers. Yet this crazy seditious fellow, who was bred to the justly despicable trade of a flay- maker, though ridiculously ignorant and ab- surd, had for a time a considerable influence considerable influence upon the opinions of the people in France. When this itinerant traitor first wrote there, he had but little success.—In the first Na- tional Assembly of France (the constituent Assembly as it is frequently called), out of near a thousand members, only eight were of the same antimonarchical principles with Mr. Paine.
But the great cause of the partiality of the French for a republic, is their fondness for Roman authors. The old English wri- ter Hobbes, in his history of the causes of the civil Wars in England, says that the civil war in the time of Charles the first, was greatly produced by the fondness for Greek and Roman authors, who called Mo- narchy, Despotism, and a Republic, Liberty.
It is to be observed of the republic of Rome, that it was a visionary and imprac- ticable scheme for a large and vicious nation. It only continued from the death of Tar- quinius Superbus, to the battle of Pharsalia, 461 years—There were seven Kings before the republic, and numerous Emperors after- wards. The division of the Western Em- pire did not take place until the year of our Lord 475 or 476.—From the commonly ac- knowledged Era for the building of Rome in the year 753, before Christ, or even if we make that Era later according to Sir Isaac Newton's Chronology, Rome has not been a republic near a fourth part of the time since its being originally built. If the Ro- mans were too vicious for a republic in the time of Cæsar, the French are too vicious for a republic now. No statesman of sound judgment, who knew human nature and was acquainted with history, could have ever thought of a republic for France. We know from experience that such a republic as that of Rome, leads to anarchy or despo- tism. Whereas the British constitution may forever be the guardian of order and li- berty. Some able and learned political wri- ters say, that the constitution of England is little more than a well regulated republic.
It is this accursed desire of imitating the republic of Rome which made the French adopt the pernicious maxim, Delenda est Carthago, that England, which they resem- ble to Carthago, must be destroyed. This idea, however, may prove as vain as it is wicked. England may probably laugh at the threats of France, as the Prophet told Jerusalem to laugh at the threats of Sennar- cherib, when he went to besiege it. "The virgin, the daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn—she shaketh her head at thee." The islands of St. Marcou consists of about eight acres of barren land upon the coast of France, between Havre and Cape de la Hogue, which were lately seized by the gal- lant Sir Sidney Smith, fortified and regular- ly supplied with a garrison. The French in vain attempted, with the greatest ex- ertions they could make, to retake this little spot. How is it then probable that they can subdue the mighty and courageous king- dom of Great Britain? The people of Great Britain, from the excesses of the French, and from knowing that under the pretences of liberty, they really mean to enslave mankind, are becoming more and more united. The naval strength of the country seems un- attainable by confederated Europe; they have a Minister of the first talents who has engaged the applause of king, par- liament and people; their manufactures, trade, and finances are in the most flou- rishing condition. The national debt is likely soon to be annihilated by the con-
stant and unvaried accumulation of the sinking fund at compound interest, accord- ing to the plan of Mr. Pitt; which seems well ascertained in the able pamphlet which has very lately been published on the subject by Mr. Secretary Rofe. If therefore France against reason, justice, and humanity, con- tinues for ever a deleterious war with Great Britain, while the wealth of Britain increas- es and the population does not diminish, France may be drained of men and money. Some who pretend to make correct calcula- tions, say that the French had lost two millions and a half of soldiers before the last campaign with Suwarow. And the usur- per Buonaparte reproached the Secretary of Barras that he could not find a man out of one hundred thousand veterans that he had left in Italy. O war, what a scourge thou art to the world!
It is not possible that the French can establish such an empire as the Roman. According to the prophecy of Daniel, the cruel and detestable empire of Rome was to "devour the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in pieces." But those who understand the prophecies, know that France cannot establish the universal do- minion to which she aspires, because the existence of other states of great power and magnitude is foretold. The re-establish- ment of the white cockade in France, the emblem of lawful authority, would still the waves of anarchy, as the latin poet suppos- ed the white or propitious star, relieved, upon its being discovered, the mariners from the dangers of the ocean.
Simul alba Nautis Stella refulsit, Concident venti, fugiuntque Nubes, Et minax, quod sic voluerit, Ponto Unda recumbit.
The restoration of the king, with limited powers in France might be highly benefi- cial to the United States of America as well as to other countries. It would not only prob- ably prevent the plunder of their commerce, but secure peace, and put a stop to that in- triguing spirit of democracy, which is aim- ing to subvert the federal government, and involve the country in confusion and misery. LIBERTY AND ORDER.
LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. The writer of this article, will resume his remarks on Hawkins's Magazine, when the second number of that useful Miscellany shall have been received.—A Sermon of John Thornton Kirkland, a Boston Clergy- man, and among the Eulogists of Washing- ton, is in chality and purity of diction, a rival to most of the Oration-Publiques we have read on the melancholy occasion of the demise of a warrior. As it is proposed to examine in detail some of the best produc- tions of this class, which have been publish- ed, we defer a review of Mr. K's ingenious discourse to "a more convenient season." It is understood that the Author of the Lay Preacher proposes to publish a liberal trans- lation of the works of SALLUST, the Ro- man Historian. The versions, hitherto pub- lished, of this classic have been feeble and bald, like that of CLARKE, or stiff and ped- antic, like those of ROSE and GORDON. It is supposed that a translation, after the model of Murphy's Tacitus, at once faith- ful, terse and elegant, will be greeted by classical students, and perhaps, escape the frowns even of the profound scholar. As this is a work of no hopeful prospect here, Americans being engrossed by other cares, than studying the beautiful reliques of an- cient wisdom, the translator will have it printed by STRAHAN, CADELL, and DA- VIES, booksellers, London.—In different parts of the United States, editions of Kotzebue's plays are sold, and are popular. We are astonished that editions of Rochef- ter's poems, and Fanny Hill are not as current as Kotzebue's comedies. There is as much good morality in the one, as in the other.—James Kirk, M. D. publishes at New York a variety of pamphlets, contain- ing Medical Cautions to young gentlemen, &c. His quackish trumpery, and the learned lucubrations of Bilious Lee, attach most American patronage, and constitute much of American Literature.
W. Cobbett at New York, has published the history of the campaigns of Prince Su- worow, preceded by a sketch of his life and character, and followed by a concise and comprehensive history of his Italian cam- paign; the latter by W. Cobbett. This book purports to be a translation from the German of Frederick Anthing. It is a plain unvarnished history. The biography of the Russian hero is amusing and instruc- tive, and military men, who "seek the bub- ble reputation even in the cannon's mouth" will peruse with enthusiasm the narrative of sieges and battles. To the admirer of fine prints, to the elegant Formarum Spector, this edition will be peculiarly acceptable. It contains a most expressive and finished en- graving of the bold and martial features of the Chieftain of the North. It is doubted, and with sufficient reasons whether a plate more elegant has ever been attached to any American publication.  The original portion of this book exhibits the best style of Porcupine. It is nervous and neat. It presents the mental features of that well known writer. We see his bold- ness in every line. He "speaks right on," and, careless of giving offence, says strong things with the most unbounded freedom. Of invective he is profuse, and he has the fi- ery zeal of Saul of Tarsus, he breathes out threatenings and slaughters against his ad- versaries. His language is not Italian, it is not silky and soft, and bland and comply- ing. It is distinct and loud, and perempt- ory. He makes no bows, "feldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort, as though he mock- ed his spirit" and, like one intent on mo- mentous business, neglects ceremony, or des- pises it. Sensible, sagacious, shrewd and daring, he penetrates into the mysteries of Jacobinism and inculcates the luke-warmpess

of the timid. He is a perfect Terrier at all the burrows of Democracy. He watches with eager eye, and he barks perseveringly long. He is charged with being scurrilous, and prejudiced, and intemperate, and low. To such an accusation it is not difficult to make defence. Every man, attacked in newspapers and tracts, pamphlets, in factious times, and by a partisan, always attaches these epithets to his adversary. The language of Porcupine is acrimonious, and his chiding vehement; but it must be remembered that he is out, as it were, in a moral camp, that he is exposed to the pitiless pelting of demagogues, that his person is menaced by some, his property invaded by others, and his principles attacked by more. The "day is hot, and Frenchmen are abroad," it is natural therefore, as an Englishman, that he should feel, like passionate Mercutio, "All smarting to be so preferred with every polished pipjay." It is natural that he should be irritable, like the fiery Hotspur. He lives in a era, when Jacobin juggling display their magic to the dazzled eyes of the duped and credulous vulgar; when classical learning, useful literature, and old-fashioned principles are neglected and degraded, when childish change is in vogue, when creeping, fawning, mean and sordid maxims are taught by our "Poor Richards" as "The way to wealth," and cunning and pedlar's craft hailed as true philosophy, and found discretion. At such a time, it is honest and decorous to lift the trumpet voice, and raise the warning hand. The author of the "Pursuits of Literature" has done this, and Peter has done no more. Since our connexion with France, it has become fashionable to invent our minds with a new and flimsy covering, but in the country of our ancestors men are still in their habits, which the Bible, the Liturgy and Aurelius and Addison furnish. From that country this man comes, and he brings its principles with him. They are stable. When the age of revolution, inconstancy, far-headed, busy clawed Speculation, and floating avarice has passed away; old-fashioned plainness of speech, and liberal conduct and high-minded dignity, and sound and protected literature will be restored; and men will wonder that Paine's pamphlets were ever read, and that the pitiful proverbs of Franklin were ever popular.
A gentleman who left New-Castle at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, says there were then no inward bound vessels there, or any in sight; but it was said there was a 20 gun ship in the bay.
BALTIMORE, March 26. A passenger in the schooner Mary, captain Heart, has furnished us with the following article for publication. On Tuesday, March 4, 1800, lat. 35° 43' N. long. 71° 55' W. at half-past 1 P. M. saw a wreck bearing to the north and heading as we could not fetch her without making a few tacks; we immediately dispatched the yawl, with the mate and two hands to go on board in hopes to find some person alive, but to our great surprise, they found no living soul on board. All the description we can give of the said wreck is, that it was a Schooner, with a woman figure head painted white, with a cornucopia in one hand, the other arm was carried away; her bowsprit was painted yellow, and like-wise her quarter deck; she had a sky light; pierced for 12 or 14 guns, but had none on board; her hullwerks were all washed away by the sea; the two masts and the sheet part of the spars were lying along side; her main and flying gib was entangled round the bowsprit by the wall of the sea; her stern was painted black, but no name could be perceived; her sides were pine. We took her to be a southern built vessel. The weather being foully and night coming on we were obliged to abandon her. There were women's clothes on the quarter deck.
CHARLESTON, March 11. The Canal which has been cutting for a number of years past in this State, under the direction of Col. Snel, is now so far completed, as to admit boats to pass entirely through it, from the head of Cooper river to the Santee. A committee of the board of directors left town yesterday, to inspect the works, and to fix the time when it will be opened for boats to pass through, which are to pay toll. There is great reason to believe that as soon as it is declared to be passable the chief part of the produce of the Santee, Congaree, Wateree, and other rivers connected with these, will pass through this canal, which will entirely take off the risk and damage boats are subject to, which now come round by the mouth of the Santee.
The many losses which have happened within the last and present years, to boats in the latter dangerous passage, will point out most feelingly to those who sent their produce down the Santee, the propriety of ordering it through this canal; the planning and execution of which does so much credit to the State, and those who have persevered to its completion. STAUNTON, (Vir.) March 19. Funeral honours were solemnized, by the troops of the garrisons of South West Point and Tellico, on the 22d February last. The following singular circumstance took place on the evening of the same day: Two children were born in those garrisons, the one, a son to the lady of Capt. Butler—the other a daughter to the lady of Lockwood. The son of Capt. Butler bears the name of George Washington—the daughter of Capt. Lockwood the name of Martha Washington.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, March 28. Mr. Nicholas called up the resolution which he laid on the table yesterday, authorizing the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives to close the present session by adjourning their respective Houses on the last day in April next; and having modified his motion, so as to read the first Monday in May next, the resolution was adopted.
Mr. Nicholas said, an act was passed last session, for the more general promulgation of the laws of the United States, which gave the Secretary of State a discretionary power as to the manner in which the law should be executed—this power he did not mean to question, but he thought the house should be made acquainted with the expence attending it; and therefore moved the following resolution, which was adopted, viz. Resolved , That the Secretary of State be requested to lay before the House, a report of the proceedings had under an act passed last session, entitled, "An act for the more general promulgation of the laws of the United States," and the expences incurred therein.
Mr. S. Smith moved that when the House adjourn, it adjourn till Monday—carried, ayes 56. Mr. Eggleston presented a petition of the merchants and others, inhabitants of the towns of Richmond, Manchester, and Petersburg, Virginia, praying the office of collector of the customs may be established at Petersburg, in the district of City Point, and Bermuda Hundred. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures. On motion of Mr. Livingston, the House came to the following resolution: Resolved , That the committee of commerce and manufactures, be directed to enquire into the expediency of allowing a drawback on the exportation of cotton goods, of foreign manufacture imported into the United States, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Harper said, as the principal feature of the bill for the better establishment and regulation of the courts of the United States, had been destroyed, by a vote of the House, yesterday, he would now move that the committee of the whole be discharged from the further consideration of it.
Messrs. Gallatin and Nicholas opposed this motion; and Mr. Otis supported it; when the question was taken and agreed to—ayes 57. Mr. Harper then moved that the bill be re-committed to the select committee, who reported it.
This motion was superceded by one of Mr. Mason, who moved that the further consideration of the bill be postponed till the first Monday in December next. Messrs. Nicholson, Varium, Mason, spoke in favor of the postponement and Messrs. Rutledge, O. Goodrich, Bayard, against it; when the question was taken by yeas and nays, as follows:
AFFIRMATIVE. Messrs. Alston, Bishop, R. Brown, Cabell, Christie, Clay, Claiborne, Condit, Davis, Dawson, Dent, Eggleston, Elmendorf, Fowler, Gallatin, Goode, Gray, Gregg, Hanna, Hartley, Keifer, Holmes, Jackson, Jour, Kitchell, Leib, Lyon, Livingston, Mason, Muhlenberg, New, Nicholas, Nicholson, Randolph, Smilie, J. Smith, S. Smith, Stanford, Stowe, Sumpter, Taliaferro, Thompson, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, Varnum, R. Williams.—46. NEGATIVE. Messrs. Baer, Bartlett, Bayard, Bird, Brace, J. Brown, Champlin, Cooper, Dana, J. Davenport, F. Davenport, Dennis, Dickson, Edmond, Evans, A. Foster, Freeman, Glen, C. Goodrich, E. Goodrich, Gordon, Griswold, Grove, Harper, Henderson, Hill, Huger, Imlay, Kittera, H. Lee, S. Lee, Lymans, Marshall, Morris, Nott, Otis, Parker, Pinckney, Platt, Powell, Reed, Rutledge, Sewall, Sheafe Shepherd, Thatcher, R. Thomas, Wadsworth, Waln, L. Williams, Woods.—52. The question then recurred on Mr. Harper's motion, for re-committing the bill, which was carried—ayes 53.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, to whom was referred a resolution instituting an enquiry into the expediency of repealing, for a certain period, the limitation act, made report, that no alteration ought to be made in the existing law relative to loan-office, and final settlement certificates, and indices of interest. This report was committed for Monday next.
On motion of General Lee, the house unanimously came to the following resolution, viz. Resolved , That all letters and packets to Mrs. Martha Washington, relict of the late General George Washington, shall be received and conveyed by post, free from postage, during her life.
General Lee said, he had been credibly informed, Mrs. Washington had paid upwards of five hundred dollars, for postage. A committee was appointed to bring in a bill pursuant to the resolution.
The bill to fix the compensation of the commanding officer of the Marine corps, was agreed to, ayes 46, noes 20, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading on Monday next. The house went into a committee of the whole on the bill to divide the territory N. W. of the river Ohio, into two separate governments, Mr. Morris in the chair—when Mr. Macon said, as he wished to try the principle of the bill, before the committee proceeded to fill up the blanks in it, he would move to strike out the first section. Mr. Harrison, delegate from that territory, opposed this motion, and was followed
by Mr. Harper, who contended it was impossible, in such a vast extent of country, for the executive or legislative authority to administer the government in that prompt and efficacious manner, which the nature of its situation demanded—and that as the request of the inhabitants for a division seemed to be almost unanimous, it could with no sort of propriety be refused.
The question on striking out, was negatived—the blank was then filled up with the word "Washington," the name which the new territory is to bear—the committee rose, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading on Monday next.
General Lee, brought in a bill to extend the privilege of franking letters, and packets, to Martha Washington, which was read a first and second time, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading on Monday next. Adjourned.
Form of the Warrant issued by the Senate for the apprehension of William Duane. UNITED STATES, ss. the 27th day of March, 1800.
WHEREAS the Senate of the United States, on the 18th day of March, 1800, then being in session in the city of Philadelphia, did resolve, that a publication in the General Advertiser, or Aurora, a Newspaper printed in the said city of Philadelphia, on Wednesday the 19th of February, the last past, contained assertions and pretended information respecting the Senate and committee of the Senate and their proceedings, which were false, defamatory, scandalous and malicious, tending to defame the Senate of the United States, and to bring them into contempt, and disrepute, and to excite against them the hatred of the good people of the United States; and that the said publication was a high breach of the privileges of the house.
And whereas the Senate did then further resolve and order that the said William Duane, resident in said city, and editor of said newspaper, should appear at the bar of the house on Monday the 24th day of March inst. that he might there have opportunity to make any proper defence for his conduct in publishing the aforesaid false, defamatory, scandalous, and malicious assertions and pretended information.
And whereas the said William Duane did appear, on said day, at the bar of the house, pursuant to the said order, and requested counsel, and the Senate by their resolution of the 24th day of March inst. Resolved, that William Duane, having appeared at the bar of the Senate, and requested to be heard by counsel on the charge against him for a breach of privileges of the Senate, be allowed the assistance of counsel while personally attending at the bar of the Senate, who might be heard in denial of any facts charged against said Duane, or in excuse and extenuation of his offence, and that the said William Duane should attend at the bar of the Senate on Wednesday then next, at 12 o'clock, of which the said Duane had due notice.
And whereas the said William Duane, in contempt of the said last mentioned order, did neglect and refuse to appear at the bar of the said Senate at the time specified therein, and the Senate of the United States on the 27th day of March inst. did therefore resolve that the said William Duane, was guilty of a contempt of said order and of the Senate, and that for the said contempt the said William Duane should be taken into custody of the Sergeant at Arms, attending the Senate, to be kept for their further orders—all which appears by the Journals of the Senate of the United States now in session in the city of Philadelphia.
These are therefore to require you, James Mathers, Sergeant at Arms for the Senate of the United States, forthwith to take into your custody the body of the said William Duane, now resident in the said city of Philadelphia, and him safely to keep, subject to the further order of the Senate; and that all marshals, and deputy marshals, and every officer of the United States, and every other person, are hereby required to be aiding, and assisting to you in the execution thereof;—for which this shall be your sufficient warrant. Given under my hand, this 27th day of March, 1800.

APPOINTMENT. ABRAHAM BRADLEY, Assistant Postmaster General, in place of CHARLES PURCELL, Esq. resigned.
The Letters of Messrs. Cooper and Dallas, published in yesterday's Gazette, were not, as therein stated, read in Senate; being deemed too indecent, it was voted that they should not be read.
On Wednesday evening last, I called on Mr. Fenno, to speak to him, respecting a publication, which appeared in his Gazette on the preceding day, and which was handed to him by Mary Burgess. He informed me that he was unacquainted with the person who delivered it—that it was offered as an advertisement, and that he was induced to give it a place in his paper from observing in it the names of Mr. B. and Lt. R. J. RUSH.

The ship America, Crowninshield, has arrived in the at harbour, and the Amazon, Trevitt, has arrived at the eastward.
Extract of a letter from Captain Beebe of the brig Fox, of New York, dated Mississippi River, February 26, 1800.
On our passage from New York, February 9, saw a Schooner with both her masts by the side, and a signal of distress flying. On coming up with her, she proved to be the Sphinx, of Boston, Charles Hodder master, bound to Havannah.—Sailed up and wished to be taken on board the vessel, being so leaky could not keep her free. It then blowing very fresh and a heavy sea running, could only with difficulty and great hazard save the crew, six in number, which two days after put on board another Schooner bound to Havannah. From the weather, could not save any thing whatever from the wreck.
The storm which commenced on Friday night last, and continued without intermission, until yesterday, accompanied with a considerable fall of snow and hail, has, we are apprehensive, proved fatal to many valuable vessels which left the Vineyard on Thursday last.—The fleet which came out together on that day, amounted to 40 sail—those which have arrived inform that the gale was very heavy, and the weather thick. We have had information of several of the fleet arriving in the eastern ports.
AT a meeting of Delegates from twenty-two Fire Companies of the City, and Liberties held at the Carpenter's Hall on the 17th inst. it was resolved, that notice be given in the several newspapers, of the organization of this institution, and that those Fire Companies, who have not communicated the result of their deliberations on the plan submitted to them, be requested to furnish the requisite information at the adjourned meeting to be held at this place at 7 o'clock in the evening of Monday the 31st instant.

WATER-OFFICE. Centre Square, February 5, 1800. IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought rea- sonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the cu- riosity of the citizens, by showing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary ex- clusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.
