Death of General Washington. A POEM. In imitation of the manner of Ossian. By Rev. JOHN B. LINN, A.M. Minister of the First Presbyterian Congregation of Philadelphia.
Mr. Chandron's Oration will be published on Monday morning. March 25.
PROPOSALS BY WILLIAM COBBETT, For importing the following periodical publications:
1. The British Critic; 2. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine; 3. The Gentleman's Magazine; 4. Le Mercure Britanique, or The British Mercury.
THE British Critic is a regular Review of all the works published in Great Britain; it is concluded with great impartiality and ability, and of the numerous publications of the kind which do now appear, and which have appeared in Great Britain; it is universally allowed to be the best. [Price 50 Cents.]
The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more confined, as to the nature of its subjects, but it certainly is not less calculated for extensive utility. This work is divided into four departments: 1. Original Criticism—2. A Review of the other Reviews—3. Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4. A Monthly Summary of History and Politics. Every six months it has a supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells less on subjects which are merely literary and scientific, than on those which have a more immediate influence on society. With a bold and masterly hand, it corrects the blunderings of error, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, scorning the pusillanimous defensive, upon which the friends of truth have too long acted, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against unbelief, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes by its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed. [Price 50 Cents.]
The Gentleman's Magazine, a work stamped with the approbation of three score years, consists chiefly of communications from antiquaries and cultivators, and of original essays, in verse and prose written by the most learned and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing by turns, almost every subject interesting to man. The miscellaneous part of the work is followed by a selection of athletic foreign and domestic intelligence, including official reports, state-papers, and an abstract of the proceedings in parliament; next comes a very copious obituary, being not merely a list of deaths, but a valuable series of biography; to which is added, a Meteorological Diary and Table, a Bill of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the Ricks, for every day in the month: So that this work must ever be an entertaining and useful companion, not only to those who are of the learned professions, commonly so called, but to the merchant, the farmer, and, in short, to every man, whatever may be the subject of his study, or the object of his pursuit. [Price 40 Cents.]
Le Mercure Britanique, or British Mercury; by Monsieur Mallet Du Pan. This work, of which one number is published every fortnight, in French and in English, commenced in August 1798, and is continued with increasing spirit and celebrity. It is both historical and critical; it contains a summary, and is the repository, of all the important events, established facts and public instruments, which relate to the present era; it investigates points of fact, of politics, and national rights; it extends its view over all the nations of Europe, examines the conduct and discloses the motives of their respective courts; it is in short a brief and comprehensive history of the times, equally remarkable for the elegance of its style, the profundity of its remarks, and the soundness of its principles. [Price 50 Cents.]
These four works comprise every thing useful in the periodical way. Gentlemen may subscribe for all, or for either of them. The first order is intended to be sent off on the 1st of May next; the successive numbers will be received at New York in two months upon an average after their publication in London, so that those which are subscribed for on or before the 1st of May, will be received in September; after which they will with very little irregularity, come to hand once a month, the importer having made such arrangements as cannot fail of securing punctuality on the part of his correspondents.
Subscriptions will be received from any part of America, by J. W. FRANK, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London. April 3.

FACTS
Submitted to public consideration, as additional evidences of the efficacy of Dr. HAMILTON'S MEDICINES, IN THE CURE OF Most Disorders to which the human body is liable. RHEUMATISM. JOHN HOOVER, Rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily makes oath, as follows: namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was for several years afflicted with violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a cold after lying in, so as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life; notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted. When seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mulhert, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution; the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the noxious or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at certain periods of life; bad lying in, &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions, twitches of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, femoral weakness, obstinate gleets, flour albus (for which) impotency, barrenness, &c. This medicine is perfectly different in its qualities and operation from those hot and irritating drugs so frequently proposed for similar purposes, and which only recommend themselves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which, acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly produce greater evils than those they are intended to remove. The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and sending from that organ new health, and vigour into every part of the system. It enriches and purifies the blood without warming it; braces, without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretary vessels and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that mutation which immoderate evacuations, have destroyed, and whole loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility. The Restorative is obnoxious to all recommendations, improving those weaknesses and infirmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of artificial and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein. The most obstinate femoral gleets; and the most distressing cases of flour albus in females, is particularly under the province of this restorative; speedily yielding to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humors, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organs. In cases of extremity where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general improvement of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no remedy, or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures. The grand restorative is prepared in pill as well as in fluid form, which assists considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any climate. Dr. Hahn's true and genuine GERMAN CORN PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain. The genuine Persian Lotion, So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, is an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the bane of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing various blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, pits after small-pox, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring-worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth; never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so. The Damask Lip Salve Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chapped and sore lips and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips. The Restorative Powder for the Teeth and Gums. This most excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them. Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. Warranted an infallible and immediate cure at once; being the most speedy, effectual and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public, and for the satisfaction of the timorous, the proprietor maketh oath, that this ointment does not contain any arsenical particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, and on infants newly born.

Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its salutary effects. With the medicine is given, a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible. Infallible ague and fever drops. A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if the patient is not relieved, it never having failed in many thousand cases, not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle and gumbars not half a bottle.

Foreign Intelligence.
Nantes, 7 Pluviôse, January 25.
The work of pacification advances every day. The chiefs return to the cities; that body of the rebels is dispersing; many are laying down their arms.
The inhabitants of the country, tired of the scourges of war, arm themselves and rise, in many places against the rebels. The confidence which the government inspires is complete.
It is said that Georges, who commands in Morbihan, feeling the impossibility of a longer resistance offers to submit. One way or other he will soon be disarmed. Many communes have sent their arms to General Muller, General Tavot proceeds with equal activity and success in peace fully disarming the Vendéens.
General Brune set out on the fourth at eleven o'clock in the morning, with an escort of 25 guides mounted on horseback for Morbihan. He takes Rifon in his way. The bad state of the roads has obliged him, as well as General Debelle, to send back the carriages which they brought for the journey, and they have continued their route on horseback.
General Grigneys is expected every moment with the column he commands.
Copy of a letter of General Girardon to Gen. Sabuguet.
To day M. Bourmont came in the name of his division to surrender himself. His soldiers are to be immediately disbanded. It is hoped that M. de Laprevalege, whose division is in Ille and Vilaine, will not long delay to follow his example. The division of Bourmont is that which has most of those men calling themselves warriors who are accustomed to pillage, and who may for some time continue to molest us. The disbanding of all the division of Chastillon is completed. There was some difficulty in the business which nearly proved fatal to the chiefs; their men before departing, wished to see the accounts of the requisitions in money and these accounts it was difficult to produce."
IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
DONAUSCHINGEN, Dec. 4.
Address of its royal highness the Archduke Charles to the interior circles of the empire.
It is from a sentiment of the most urgent necessity that I feel myself compelled to speak to you on a subject, and certain dispositions, from which may result very great injury to the common cause of the Germanic empire. I see with regret, that upon the late events in France, by which the supreme power has passed into other hands, has been founded almost every where the hope that has so often proved deceitful, of an approaching pacification; and that in the confidence of this premature supposition has been assumed the power of deferring the putting on the contingents inactivity, and the accomplishment of its other constitutional obligations. A heart truly German and patriotic, and a mind enlightened by such sad experience, cannot absolutely commit such imprudence; such conduct would deprive us of the only means of concluding a speedy peace, upon terms just and proper, and which may prove solid and permanent. We ought not entirely to forget the maxim that we should prepare vigorously for war, when we wished for peace; and we shall obtain the latter much the more soon, and on terms the more advantageous, when the enemy shall see us in a state to continue the war, should he be disposed to continue his imperious tone, and to prescribe once more a peace that would bring with it shame and slavery, or infallibly lead to them. Too often has the hope, indulged with so much precipitation, respecting France, proved deceitful, to suffer these new events to seduce and lull the state into a false security. It has been seen uniformly to the present hour, that every new faction in France has spoken a great deal about peace, not for the purpose of concluding one on equitable terms but to gain popularity; that they have often the word peace in their mouths, and are continually commencing new wars; or that by the word peace, they have meant nothing but the extermination of their enemies. The event which has taken place in France on the 9th of November, considered in a near point of view, is not of a nature to be able to afford us all at once, a full confidence. Some of those who have possessed themselves of the supreme power, are the same men, who so often, by their principles, and the whole course of their public life, have sworn mortal hatred and eternal enmity to all other states not constituted like their own; who have overturned some, and perfidiously subjugated others in full peace. The spirit even which manifests itself in the public writing of France is not so pacific; it is there frequently declared, that this new revolution has no other object but to raise the republic to the rank which it ought to hold in Europe. The late directory is blamed there not for having commenced war, but for having carried it on unsuccessfully; not for having conquered new provinces; but for having lost several. In their proclamations they begin always with speaking of victories, and they afterwards talk of peace; a clear indication that circumstances do not appear yet sufficiently favorable for the latter, and that they would with still to try the fate of arms before they would think of concluding it. The minister of war openly announces, that he is employed in re-inforcing the army, and procuring it every thing necessary. He adds, that he will take
a part himself in its dangers, as soon as the season permits the opening of the campaign—and that he is preparing for it new triumphs. There has not been yet on the part of France relaxations in the preparations for war to justify the Germans to relax theirs; but, on the contrary, a new corps is to be formed in the four non-United departments. But even though we might have no grounds to conceive any distrust respecting the views and objects of the rulers of France, the new revolution is not sufficiently confirmed in its seat to inspire a full confidence that it may not be overturned like the rest. Finally, the question is not here of such a peace as every convention or armistice might be called. The question is safety; the conditions for which we essentially contend; conditions which the honor, dignity, liberty, the integrity of the Germanic empire, and inviolability of our dearest treaties demand. The question is a just, fit and durable peace, in the sense of the decisions of the diet, which may secure religion, property, civil order, and the constitution of the empire.
I invite you to weigh maturely these considerations with the patriotic sentiments with which you are inspired, and then you will certainly agree with me that prudence imperiously requires that you should not be seduced into inactivity by the reports of an approaching peace and principles more moderate, or to lay down your arms until peace shall be signed—You will feel with me the necessity of not delaying the measures of defence, but on the contrary of redoubling our efforts, augmenting our forces and accomplishing with the greatest activity, and in the most serious manner, the decision, renewed and confirmed by the resolutions of the diet, for the common defence, that we may be able to oppose an energetic mass of efforts to the views of the enemy, whatever they may be. It is only by an imposing military force that we shall be able to prevent the enemy from making new devastating attacks, abridge or terminate the evils of war, ameliorate the conditions of pacification, and finally accelerate a peace that may deserve the name of one, and recompense the multiplied sacrifices by which we have for a long time since sought to procure it."
ST. PIERRE, (Martinico) Jan. 25.
A schooner privateer, (formerly the Portland) was captured off the Pearl by the ship Bittern's tender, after a smart action; the tender had one man killed and the captain dangerously wounded; the privateer had three men killed and eight wounded.
The Invincible captured a French brig of 14 guns from Bourdeaux to Guadaloupe, and drove a French ship on shore that accompanied the brig; the brig is now in Port Royal.
His Majesty's ship Surinam has sent a French privateer schooner into Port Royal. The brig Lord Duncan, from hence to Bermuda is arrived safe. In lat. 23. fell in with a French privateer schr. of 12 guns, which engaged her for four and a half hours at close quarters, but beat off; the brig had the mate killed and nine men badly wounded.
The Cork fleet was convoyed by the Amiable, who re-captured an English Indian, and engaged in a running fight two French republican frigates, bound to Cayenne, with Victor Hugues and 600 troops. Jan. 31. The schr. Invariable is taken to leeward of Dominica; the French privateer was afterwards captured by the United States ship Adams; the mate and six of the Invariable's crew are arrived.
The brig Pearl, from Newfoundland, is captured and carried into Guadaloupe.
The Invincible has captured and carried into Port Royal, a brig with a valuable cargo from Bremen.
VENICE, January 2.
The approaching campaign will be carried on with the utmost vigour in Italy, on the part of the Austrians. Orders have already been issued that all the regiments shall be recruited to their full number within two months, and fresh troops are on their march to the main army. It is hoped that during the winter the enemy will be completely driven out of the Genoese, and soon as the weather will admit, the armies will act with concentrated force against the French territory—From Leghorn we receive the most favourable accounts of the operations of General Klenau against Genoa. According to these he is at Quinto, 21 leagues from Genoa. A Russian ship is arrived at Leghorn from Spezzia, with battering artillery to be employed against the Syrone, which protects the walls of Genoa. By order of admiral Nelson, the Tuscan trading vessels will receive the same protection from his fleet as the English ships: he has likewise sent a ship of war to cruise between Leghorn, the isle of Elba, and Corsica to protect the trade of Leghorn.
TURIN, January 2.
Accounts from Susa, state, that Colonel Gajoli, of the regiment Archduke Charles, attacked the enemy on the 29th of December, who had retained quiet possession of their position near St. Anton, ever since the third of November. After a smart engagement, the French were repelled beyond Susa.
Along the Riviera of Genoa, the French have evacuated Melongo and Bardinetto; but some of their troops still remain at Finale and its neighbourhood.

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 Natural History.
2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry, or the elements of Euclid, Trigonometry, both Plane and Spherical, Mensuration, Gauging, Surveying, Navigation, in all its parts, Dialling, Conic Sections, Fortification, Gunnery, Astronomy, Algebra and Fluxions, with their application to the different parts of Mathematics. This department will be conducted
By Mr. PETER DELAMAR, formerly Professor of Mathematics in the Royal Military and Marine Academy, Dublin—and latterly in the FRIGATE UNITED STATES.
3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing 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 proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful.
Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and excited 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 Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor to conduct this Seminary of Learning, as to subserve the great Interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberality of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, constitute 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 situation, if such a change should be found necessary.
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.

6th Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable?
7th Is the amount of interest, accurately calculated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, of any value?
8th Is a table of all the post towns in the United States, and rates of postage therewith, of any use?
9th Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as ever entered a counting house or store?

AN AUTHOR'S EVENINGS.
There have been many attempts, particularly in the English language, to employ technical terms and allusions in humorous poetry. Perhaps no one was ever happier than the following, addressed
To an IRONMONGER, on his Birth Day.
Oh, Lockman, may thy angel true Thy chain of life extend, And add a thousand links thereto; So prays thy merry friend. And may'st thou neither rust nor stain, Nor canker ever feel; With heart as soft as silken skein, Thy ribs be ribs of steel.
Loud as a cannon through the land, May thy good name resound; And the strong hammer of thy hand Thy enemies confound.
Aided by three my series flow, Their tinkle owe to thee; An iron sharp'neth iron, so Thy friendship sharp'neth me.
Keen be thy sense, like sword that's try'd, Thy wit, like point of prong, Thy judgment, like a saw, divide The right side from the wrong.
Firm as an anvil may'st thou bear The strokes of every clime; And, like a harden'd file, full wear The teeth of envious time.
Round in thyself, like polish'd ball, Shine always smooth and bright; When other ironmongers fall May'st thou stand bolt upright.
And when life's forge will work no more, Fire gone, and metal cold, Alchymist death, at touch, thy ore Shall all transmute to gold.
While ploughs shall turn the fertile mould, While needles seek the pole, While fenders, locks and bars shall hold, Thy love shall nail my soul.
Lines to a Lady, with a chaplet of red and white Roses.
In this fond wreath unite, Roses red, and roses white; Take it, beauteous maid, and trace In the white my love sick face: But the red's an emblem true Of my heart, inflam'd by you.
FRUGALITY IN LOVE.
Not always give a melting kiss, And smiles with pleasing whispers join'd; Nor always, excit'd with bliss, About my neck thy fair arms wind.
The way lover learns by measure To circumfer his greatest joy; Less, what, well husband, yields pleasure, Might, by the repetition, cloy.
When three three kisses I require, Give me but two, withhold the other; Such as cold virgins to their fire, Or chaste Diana gives her brother.
Original Stanzas from an Irish Ballad.
"You said you lov'd me, Molly dear, Ah, why did I believe; Yet, who'd have thought such tender words Were meant but to deceive. Though thou prove false, may Heaven on thee
Its choicest blessings pour; Ah Grammachere, ma colleenoghe, My Molly I adore."
Just at this time, America, who sometimes loves a joke, and revolutionary music, has, in a placid humour, parodied and sweetly sings, in all public places the following:
You said you lov'd me, Gallia dear, I Buonaparte believe; For, who can think his sugar'd words My Dory can deceive.
Though, thou art false, I beg on me You'll smile, you coming whores; Ah, Ians Murree, ma sweet Murree, Ma Murree, I eat once more.
Those, who remember the ill luck of Messrs. Marshall, Pinckney and Gerry, delivering in the anti chamber of Regicide, the door hung in their face, the insolent not at some of the crippled apostate, and the amusing chit chat of X. Y. and a lady, may, with no great violence, imagine some delicate embarrassments arising in the new court of Buonaparte, when the Chief Justice of the United States, on his knees to the French high-waymen, implores them to return the watches and the purses, which THEY HAVE STOLEN. If another lady should be procured by the French Mountebanks to trifle with a grare Embally, a lover of allusions, recollecting at once the name of one of our Envoys, and a line from another Irish ditty may repeat
"A loving couple met, one day, Kate and Dory, Kate and Dory— Come let's a treaty make, I pray, Says bonny Kate to Dory."
On Tuesday the 8th instant, a duel was fought in Richmond, Virginia, between captain Meriwether Jones, and James Kind, Esq. We have not learnt the particulars of this affair, except that the latter gentleman received a wound in the body; but we are happy to hear it is not likely to prove mortal. [Vir. Gaz.]
The American Consul, and a number of Spanish and American Merchants at the Havana, have published a letter to William Bainbridge, Esq. of the Norfolk Sloop of war, thanking him for his exertions, in the protection of their Commerce.
DIED.—On the 1st instant, after a very short illness, Traugott Bagge, Esq. of Salem, in the State of North Carolina.—Mr. Bagge was the general friend of mankind, and respected by all who knew him; and it is but justice to say, that in this dispensation of providence, society has lost, in him, one of her highest ornaments; but which, whilst it fills every heart with sorrow, must afford infinite satisfaction to his acquaintance, in the recollection of his examples through life; all which tended to promote industry, improve society, and make plain the paths of virtue, honesty and punctuality, and to secure the felicity of a future state. The above is a just tribute to the character of Mr. Bagge, by a friend who knew him well.
PROFOUND POLITICS!
FROM THE VIRGINIA FEDERALIST. The friends of humanity must deplore the prospect presented by the late European advices, received by the Pallas, arrived at New York.
Buonaparte's renewed proposals for peace have been rejected with considerable hauteur, and this desirable event seems to be now almost as distant as ever. Neither the duration of the contest, nor the unparalleled calamities which have resulted from it, have depressed the spirit of war; but on the contrary, the preparations for the present campaign exceed in magnitude and extent those of any former period.
It is highly probable that the very formidable force embodied under the command of the Chouan chiefs (to whom four English frigates lately dispatched for that purpose, successfully debarked ample supplies of arms ammunition and money) was the principal inducement of overtures towards an accommodation on the part of the French Consul, and also of their rejection by his Britannic Majesty: But to whatever cause the failure was owing, the people of France must now perceive that the only means of saving themselves from the horrors of the antient despotism consist in the most vigorous resistance. In the present urgency of their situation union among themselves seems essential to the attainment of liberty, and the right of self-government; and although we are not advocates for the "RIGHTS OF MAN" to that unqualified and extravagant extent which renders government a mere nullity, and the social system nothing more than a farce, yet are we free to declare our wishes that this union may take place.
It is ridiculous in the extreme, and insulting to common sense, to pretend to entertain no desire to prefer to France any particular form of government; when the very same sentence, we discover that the particular form of government which France has elected, is made the ostensible basis of objection to the proposed peace, and the restoration of the monarchy referred to, in terms of fine qua non, too plain to be misunderstood.
It is admitted that war cannot be more disastrous than a dangerous and illusive peace; but we see nothing in the French Constitution, which can warrant the idea, that a peace made with the present ruler of France would be of that nature.
Under this impression we hope that the rumour of the Portsmouth frigate being dispatched to our ministers with counter orders is altogether unfounded. Consistency in the government requires a renewal of pacific instructions. In all the changes and chances of the French revolution, America has recognized the right of the people of France to alter or abolish existing institutions and substitute others: In all these changes she has affidoiously fought for peace, and as the object is important at the present as at any prior period, we see no just cause or motive why it should be abandoned—While therefore we fear no foreign power, it must be our interest to cultivate the friendship of all
NEW-YORK, April 16.
Extract of a letter from an American Gentleman at the Court of Madrid to another in Cadiz, dated Feb. 1800, banded to us by a gentleman who came passenger in the brig Success, arrived here yesterday from Cadiz.
Two Couriers have arrived here from Paris within three days. Buonaparte having failed in his attempt to negotiate with the Chouans, has issued a proclamation to his soldiers, ordering them to put to death every person found in arms against the French Republic in La Vendee, and also to burn and totally destroy every town or village that has taken part with the Chouans. This begins a war of extermination. It is not known how many men Buonaparte will be able to send against La Vendee. It is thought it will not exceed forty thousand men. General Brune is appointed to command this expedition. On the success of the war in La Vendee will depend the fate of France. It will either place Louis on the Throne or establish Buonaparte strongly in his present power. The extreme poverty of the treasury of France, and the few resources they have, makes it difficult for Buonaparte to carry his plan into execution. He was lately obliged to suspend all kinds of payments from the treasury for 15 days, that a small sum might be sent from it for the present relief of the armies. It is certain that a triple alliance has lately taken place between the two Emperors and England. They each engage to support and carry on the war till Louis shall be placed on the throne of France. A fresh body of Russians are now on their march to join the Imperial armies."
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, April 16.
The bill for the regulation of public auctions and magazines, was read a third time and passed.
On motion of Mr. D. Foster, the committee of claims were discharged from the further consideration of the petition of Alexander Spofford, and it was referred to the committee of the whole house to whom is referred the petition of Temple Elliott, and others.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims made a report on the petition of Major Thomas Johnson, who prayed compensation for a party of militia on an expedition against the Indians in 1794—the report is favourable to the claim of the petitioners, and recommends that provision be made by law for allowing the compensation requested. The report was committed for to-morrow.
Mr. Brace, from the committee to whom was referred several petitions relative to lands purchased from Judge Symmes, reported a bill to provide for the disposition of the lands between the Great and Little Miami River—which was read and committed.
The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the petition of Temple Elliott and others—Mr. Rutledge in the chair—when the unfavourable report of the committee of claims on the petition of David Jones, and Mrs. Rodgers, chaplains to the American army during the revolutionary war, who prayed for bounty lands, was agreed to, ayes 36, noes 23.
The committee then rose, and the concurred.
Mr. New then offered a resolution, directing a bill to be brought in to authorize the President of the United States to grant patents for lands due to certain officers for their military services in the continental army during the revolutionary war, which were granted by the state of Virginia, and have hitherto been withheld from them in consequence of the act of cession made by said state.
The resolution was agreed to, and a committee appointed for that purpose.
Mr. S. Smith brought in a bill to establish the district of Kennebec, and to annex Lyme to New-London; to alter the district of Bermuda Hundred and City Point, and further to amend the act regulating the collection of duties on imports and tonnage.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill to continue in force the act instituted an act to authorise the defence of merchant vessels of the United States against French depredations, and to the bill supplementary to the act regulating trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and to preserve peace on the frontiers, were taken up and concurred in.
The bill sent from the Senate, permitting the exportation of certain parcels of gunpowder, matches and cartridges, was read a first and second time, and referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to prescribe the mode of deciding disputed elections of President and Vice-President of the United States, Mr. Rutledge in the chair, when Mr. Marshall moved to strike out that part of the first section which contains the principal features of the bill, viz. that the Senate shall appoint the chairman of the Grand Committee; that their decisions shall be final and conclusive, &c.
Mr. Harper thought this would go to the entire destruction of the bill—he was not prepared to say these principles should be agreed to, but he thought there ought to be some investigation, as the bill contemplated, he would therefore recommend the honorable mover to modify his motion so as to try the second principle, that of the decision of the Grand Committee being final and conclusive.
Mr. Marshall said, he was by no means an enemy to this bill; but he entertained some doubts as to the constitutionality of its provisions at present. After dwelling for some time on particular clauses of the constitution, Mr. M. read the amendment which he would make if the motion for striking out was agreed to.
A short debate ensued, when Mr. Nicholson moved that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again, which was carried; and Mr. Marshall's amendment was ordered to be printed.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to make appropriations for the military establishment for the year 1800—and after filling up the blanks in the bill it was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow.
The bill allowing an additional salary to the officers of both houses of Congress, was agreed to in committee of the whole, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Varnum called up for consideration the resolution which he laid on the table directing the clerk to procure twelve copies of Herstein's digest of the laws of the United States—and the same having been again read, was agreed to by the house.
Mr. H. Lee's motion for appointing a committee to prepare a system of rules and regulations for the government of the district of Columbia, was also agreed to; yeas 50; and a committee of five appointed for that purpose. The favorable report of the select committee on the petition of William Tazewell, Esq. late secretary of Mr. Gerry, was debated in committee of the whole, and agreed to, yeas 39; nays 30; and a bill ordered to be brought in for his relief.—Adjourned.
A stated meeting of the American Philosophical Society will be held at their hall, on Friday evening the 18th instant, at 6 o'clock, when an election for members will take place. S. H. SMITH, Sec.
RALEIGH, (N. C.) April 8.
Last week, some serious disagreement having taken place between two men of the names of Bridges and Simms, near Smithfield, we understand the former way-laid the latter, and shot him; and, on flying from his pursuers, Bridges was afterwards shot at and wounded. He is now lodged in Smithfield goal.
At a muster, near Neuse river, in Johnston, on Saturday, in riding a race, Mr. Jesse Hinton was unfortunately killed, by his horse flying out of the road with him and running against a tree.

FOR SALE, A VALUABLE TRACT OF LAND, LYING on the Potomac River, county of Northumberland, state of Virginia; containing about 600 acres—its situation is equal to any other in the Northern Neck, remarkable for every kind of wild fowl, oysters, fish and crab, and none better for health. It is about the same distance from Baltimore, Alexandria and Norfolk, and not more than one day's sail from either. There are three improved plantations with dwelling houses, the one known by the name of Rye Lodge, formerly the residence of Col. John Gordon, is an elegant two story brick house, with four rooms on a floor, and a passage fifteen feet wide.
TERMS. Of Richard Fohwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, or Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 3 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rate on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are left in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well-authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired. "Philadelphia, June 15, 1799." To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconveniences by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Fohwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.

"True copy from the original Memorial, presented to the House of Representatives of the United States, on Monday, the 18th of June 1799." "WILLIAM LAMBERT, for JONATHAN W. CONDY, Clerk." "RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, be authorized and directed, to subscribe, on such terms as they may deem eligible, for the use of the Senate and House of Representatives, for four hundred copies of the Journals of Congress, which are proposed to be published by Richard Fohwell and such number of copies of deficient volumes of the sets now in print, as may be necessary to complete the sets."

MAP OF NEW JERSEY.
THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New Jersey, immediately after their appointment transmitted 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 being 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 accelerated by regular returns, and being convinced that a trifling 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 hope by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, 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 meeting 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 number of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure 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 subscriptions returned would have ensured its immediate execution, and the commissioners are persuaded 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 execution during the course of the ensuing summer.
