Celebrated New Work. This Day is Published, By JOHN ORMROD, No. 41, in Chestnut Street, (four volumes in two, neatly bound and lettered, price 2 dollars and 50 cents.) THE LOOKER-ON, A PERIODICAL PAPER.
My business in this State Made me a Looker-on here in Vienna; Where I have seen corruption boil and bubble, Till it o'er run the stew; laws for all faults; But faults so countenanced, that the strong statutes Stand like the forfeits in a barber's shop, As much in mock as mark. Measure for Measure. "It appears from the dedication, that the editor of this publication is the Rev. William Roberts, A. M. F. R. S. Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford; and from the last number, that the labor, and consequently the merit of these papers, have rested with the editor, excepting only a few contributions particularly mentioned. The editor's design has been, as he himself represents it, "to substitute the forsaken topics of morality, life, nature, and taste, in the room of shallow politics and news-paper philosophy, and to betray men, under the mask of amusement, into serious and manly thoughts. This design was laudable, and the execution was meritorious. As literary productions, these periodical papers are entitled to distinction; but their highest praise is, that they are throughout calculated to promote virtue and good manners."

ON PEACE.
[From a Paris Journal.]
"Do you know," said a person to me just now, "what will form the most agreeable part of the festival of the 9th Thermidor? what the directory reserves for that day? In the midst of the fire-works, during the calm of a mild and pleasant evening, a transparency will suddenly appear, exhibiting these words, written in letters of gold: Peace, Peace, is concluded! and a thousand acclamations of joy will suddenly fill the air."
Thus spoke a good man, and all the good people round listened and believed. Their confidence, in which I could not participate, gave me some concern. I left them, without seeking to dispel the pleasing illusion, and exclaimed—O God! wilt thou permit us to see that day, on which a stop was put to the effusion of French blood on the scaffold, consecrated by that grand event, which would put a stop to the effusion of human blood in the field of battle? That day would then become doubly sacred to us! It would twice deliver us from the greatest calamities that a nation can experience—tyranny and war.
My mind was filled with this idea, when I met a man with a grave aspect, a haughty mien, and in-flated with diplomatic dignity, who condescended to utter the following words: " The despots begin to be humbled; a few more victories, and we shall have them at our feet. Austria only waits for the junction of our armies, on the road to Vienna, in order to submit. "
Great God! to what a pass are we arrived?—What new chances of misfortune, what new danger of destruction, have we yet to encounter? Must we again be obliged to hear the recital of those victories, ever glorious, ever lamentable, when our armies, repulsed in four attacks, carried the enemy's entrenchments at the fifth? when the fields of battle exhibited an immense number of victors and vanquished groveling in the dust?—I turned to the diplomatic character, and asked him, if it would not be equally glorious, equally advantageous to us, to offer Peace to the enemy, who must be in a situation to wish for it? "We are (said I) ambitious to obtain the title of a generous nation, and so eager are we after it, that we give it to ourselves. Has not fortune, then, placed us in one of those situations in which we may display our generosity, and terminate the War, on receiving a just indemnity?"
"If we consult the practice of civilized Europe, we shall see, that it was always the conquerors who offered Peace. Why then, should we measure our glory by the humiliation of our enemies? Are not our victories our own? Do they not already belong to history? Hitherto Europe is silent before us; she regards us as conquerors, who, from the point which we have attained, look forwards, with a menacing eye, to all the points which we have not yet been able to attain. Let us make known our moderation to her."
At these words, the countenance of the person to whom I addressed myself, exhibited the strongest marks of disdain. I perceived that, in the language of the Corps Diplomatique , the word Moderation still retained that abject and odious sense which we so long assigned to it.
"Yes, Moderation (said I):—without moderation there can be no Peace; there can be nothing but destructive truces, in which your irritated enemy daily prepares for fresh hostilities, seeks how he may take you by surprise, and solicit the resentment of every other nation."
"That Peace which, I trust, will soon be concluded, ought to ensure the repose of Europe for a great length of time. Oh! how glorious it would be for our government to establish its claims, to calculate them by the rule of rigid justice, and to announce them in an invariable, I had almost said in a solemn manner! Hitherto we have only known the use of warlike Manifestoes; it would be truly great to publish a Manifesto of Peace, every line of which should breathe the spirit of Candour, Moderation and Justice! It is thus that it would be glorious for us to introduce innovations into the Public Law of Europe."
"Austria in aggrandizing herself by the partition of Poland, has given us a right, even stronger than that which we derive from our victories, to lay claim to a just compensation."
"One great advantage to be reaped from such a Manifesto would be that of not making a partial Peace, but of forcing all our enemies to treat, as their resistance would unveil their ambition."
LA CRETELLE, Jun.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. FENNO,
Please to publish the following letters, which are a satisfactory reply to citizen Adet's note and the decree of the French republic.
Philadelphia, July 24, 1793.
Mr. Jefferson, secretary of state, to Mr. Genet, minister plenipotentiary of France.
Sir,
Your favor of the 9th instant, covered the information of Silvai Ducamp, Pierre Nouvel, Chouquet de Savarence, Gaston de Nogere, and G. Beuttler, that being on their passage from the French West-Indies to the United States, on board vessels of the United States, with slaves and merchandise of their property, these vessels were stopped by British armed vessels, and their property taken out as lawful prize.
I believe it cannot be doubted, but by the general law of nations, the goods of a friend found in the vessel of an enemy, are free, and the goods of an enemy found in the vessel of a friend, are lawful prize. Upon this principle, I presume, the British armed vessels have taken the property of French citizens found in our vessels, in the cases above-mentioned, and I confess I should be at a loss on what principle to reclaim it. It is true, that sundry nations, desirous of avoiding the inconveniences of having their vessels stopped at sea, ran-sacked, carried into port, and detained, under pretence of having enemies goods on board, have, in many instances, introduced, by their special treaties, another principle between them, that enemy bottoms shall make enemy goods, and friendly bottoms friendly goods;
a principle much less embarrassing to commerce, and equal to all parties in point of gain or loss; but this is altogether the effect of particular treaty, controuling, in special cases, the general principle of the law of nations, and therefore taking effect between such nations only as have so agreed to controul it. England has generally determined to adhere to the rigorous principle, having in no instance, as far as I recollect, agreed to the modification of letting the property of the goods follow that of the vessel, except in the single one of her treaty with France. We have adopted this modification in our treaties with France, the United Netherlands and Prussia, and therefore, as to them, our vessels cover the goods of their enemies, and we lose our goods when in the vessels of their enemies. Accordingly, you will be pleased to recollect, that in the case of Holland and Mackie, citizens of the United States, who had laden a cargo of flour on board a British vessel, which was taken by the French frigate Ambuscade, and brought into this port; when I reclaimed the cargo, it was only on the ground that they were ignorant of the declaration of war when it was shipped. You observed, however, that the 14th article of our treaty had provided that ignorance should not be pleaded beyond two months after the declaration of war, which term had elapsed, in this case, by some few days; and finding that to be the truth, though their real ignorance was equally true, I declined the reclamation, as it never was in my view to reclaim the cargo, nor in yours to offer to restore it, by questioning the rule established in our treaty, that enemy bottoms make enemy goods. With England, Spain, Portugal and Austria, we have no treaties, therefore we have NOTHING to OPPOSE to their acting according to the general law of nations, that enemy goods are lawful prize, though found in the bottoms of a friend. Nor do I see that France can suffer on the whole, for though she loses her goods in our vessels, when found therein by England, Spain, Portugal or Austria, yet she gains our goods, when found in the vessels of England, Spain, Portugal, Austria, the United Netherlands or Prussia; and I believe I may safely affirm, that we have more goods afloat in the vessels of these six nations, than France has afloat in our vessels, and consequently, THAT FRANCE IS THE GAINER, AND WE THE LOSER, BY THE PRINCIPLE OF OUR TREATY; indeed we are losers in every direction of that principle; for when it works in our favor, it is to save the goods of our friends; when it works against us, it is to lose our own, and we shall continue to lose, while the rule is only partially established. When we shall have established it with all nations, we shall be in a condition neither to gain nor lose, but shall be less exposed to vexatious searches at sea. To this condition, we are endeavoring to advance; but as it depends on the will of other nations, as well as our own, we can only obtain it, WHEN THEY SHALL BE READY TO CONCUR.
I cannot therefore but flatter myself, that on revising the cases of Ducamp and others, you will perceive, that their losses result from the state of war, which has permitted their enemies to take their goods, though found in our vessels, and consequently, from circumstances over which we have no control.
Extract of a letter from T. Jefferson, Secretary of State, to G. Morris, minister plenipotentiary of United States at Paris.
Philadelphia, 16th Aug. 1793.
"Another source of complaint with Mr. Genet, has been, "that the English take French goods out of American vessels," which he says is against the law of nations, and ought to be prevented by us. On the contrary, we suppose it to have been long an established principle of the law of nations, that the goods of a friend are free in an enemy's vessel, and an enemy's goods lawful prize in the vessel of a friend. The inconvenience of this principle, which subjects merchant vessels to be stopped at sea, searched, ransacked, led out of their course, has induced several nations lately to stipulate against it by treaty, and to substitute another in its stead, that free bottoms shall make free goods, and enemy bottoms, enemy goods, a rule equal to the other in point of loss and gain, but less oppressive to commerce. As far as it has been introduced, it depends on the treaties stipulating it, and forms exceptions in special cases to the general operation of the law of nations. We have introduced it into our treaties with France, Holland and Prussia; and French goods found by the two latter nations in American bottoms, are not made prize of. It is our wish to establish it with other nations. But this requires their consent also, is a work of time, and in the mean while, they have a right to all the general principles, without giving to us, or to France, cause of complaint. Nor do I see that France can lose by it on the whole. For though she loses her goods when found in our vessels, by the nations with whom we have no treaties, yet she gains our goods when found in the vessels of the same, and all other nations; and we believe the latter must be greater than the former. It is to be lamented, indeed, that the general principle has operated so cruelly in the dreadful calamity which has lately happened in St. Domingo. The miserable fugitives, who to save their lives had taken asylum in our vessels, with such valuable and portable things as could be gathered in the moment, out of the ashes of their houses, and wrecks of their fortunes, have been plundered of these remains by the licenced sea rovers of their enemies. This has swelled, on this occasion, the disadvantages of the general principle, that an enemy's goods are free prize in the vessel of a friend. But it is one of those deplorable and unforeseen calamities to which they expose themselves who enter into a state of war, furnishing to us an awful lesson to avoid it by justice and moderation, and not a cause of encouragement to expose our towns to the same burnings and butcheries, nor of complaint because we do not."

The following compliment to the French Government is extracted from the Boston independent Chronicle of 31st ult.
France, (and be not deceived my friends by Mr. King's letter from England, for I believe both he and Mr. Monroe are kept in the dark with respect to the intended conduct of the Executive Directory towards us,) will and has begun to stop our vessels going to or coming from British ports.
USEFUL HINT,
Communicated by the royal Society of Sweden to that of London.
After roofing a house with wood, boil tar in a kettle and mix finely pulverised charcoal with it, till it is of the thickness of mortar; spread this with a trowel about a fourth of an inch thick over the roof; it will soon grow hard and defy all the vicissitudes of weather. Roofs thus covered, have stood in Sweden above a century, and still want no repair.

BOSTON, October 31.
CAPTURE OF ST. JOHNS.
Capt. Newcomb, arrived here on Saturday evening last, in 5 days from Prospect, 9 miles from Halifax, informs that he read, in a Halifax newspaper, dated the day before his departure, an account of the capture of St. Johns, together with the British vessels of war, stationed there, by the French squadron, frequently mentioned in our paper to be off Newfoundland. The captured squadron consisted of one 74, two 50's and several frigates.
NEW-YORK, November 4.
THE SYNOD
Of New-York and New Jersey, at their late session in this city, appointed the first Wednesday in December next, to be observed as a Day of THANKSGIVING and PRAYER, by all the churches under their care. We hear, also, that the Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church, at their last meeting, agreed to observe the same day.
From the Minerva.
Accounts of a late date from Germany, state, that the Mitchillian doctrine of pestilential fluids is becoming known and gaining an establishment in their universities; several of their most philosophical and learned physicians have approved the principle, and have pronounced it to be very interesting, new and ingenious: Some of the latest publications in France contain numerous facts that coincide perfectly in support of this system; and we hear from Great-Britain, that men of science and talents, agree with the American ideas concerning the generation and composition of infectious fluids. The honorable address of governor Jay, to the Legislature of New-York, on this subject, will probably be a prelude to the adoption of such modes of preserving and treating distempers, called contagious, as shall put a stop to much of their mortality in our cities, and prevent the panic and terror, which almost every year disturbs the public tranquillity. If America has discovered the true idea of these things in theory, then it will be no less honorable than important to apply sound theory to practice in the regulations that the legislator are should adopt with regard to quarantine, Lazarettos, introduction of distempers from foreign places, and, as the governor expresses it, "the generation of them here from nuisances among ourselves." It is to be hoped that New-York will set her example and take the lead in this useful and public work.
NORFOLK, October 25.
We are authorised to say, that Josiah Riddick, Esq. of Nansemond county, offers himself as an elector for this district. Mr. Riddick is a republican, and we are authorised further to say, that he will if elected vote for Mr. Jefferson, and against Mr. Adams.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this city.
"The President's valedictory address you have without doubt attended to. It is therefore the duty of the republicans to act in concert and with vigour in the choice of his successor. We must choose electors who will vote for Mr. Jefferson, and against John Adams. It is not enough that they vote for Mr. Jefferson, but they must vote against John Adams, since evidently a vote for Adams in your state, will be a vote against Jefferson.—For vice-president is not very material, so he be a republican. We here contemplate Mr. Burr, of New-York, or Mr. Langdon, of New-Hampshire. Various arts are already practiced in order to defeat Mr. Jefferson clandestinely, the President's address does not seem to look with a friendly eye towards him; the serious declaration in the address, that an established national religion is necessary to support national morality, has an aspect towards a religious establishment, that ought to make the people who advocate the rights of conscience look about themselves.—Mr. Adams is known to be a friend to such an establishment. Mr. Jefferson framed your religious bill, and that is enough to prove him an advocate for the rights of conscience."

To the Printer of the Gazette of the United States.
SIR, Minister Adet says—"The flag of the French republic will treat the flag of neutrals, in the same manner as they shall suffer it to be treated by the English..."
If the same argument can possibly justify the French in one instance, it will, on the same principle, justify the British...
If these questions cannot be answered in favor of the French, what must every man in his sober senses think of the modeste of a diplomatic appeal to the people of America, through the medium of a newspaper?
Fellow-citizens!—is this calculated, do you think, to excite your friendship, or your indignation? Those who begin to blush at it, now endeavor to apologize it away...

TO BE SOLD, A LEASE for seven years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called PROSPECT-HILL.
Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the source of that river to the Capes. This prospect is greatly embellished by a full view of a vast body of meadow, through which the Christians and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land; abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within twenty yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and convenience of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the thor: suspension indispensable.

The Creditors of Scott and M c Michael, formerly merchants of this city, and who failed in the year 1763, or 1764, (and from whom the subscriber purchased bills of exchange to amount of several hundred pounds sterling, which have lain by him ever since,) are requested, EVERY MAN OF THEM that is living, to meet at the City-Tavern on Tuesday, the 15th of November next, at 6 o'clock in the evening, in order to oblige Charles Cox, formerly of this city, now of New-Jersey, and John Bayard, formerly of said city, and speaker of the House of Assembly of said state, now of Brunswick, New-Jersey, assignees of said Scott & M c Michael, to come forward and pay over the monies they have had in their hands belonging to the creditors these 32 or 33 years. Some years ago the creditors were called together; Mr. Cox appeared in behalf of himself and Mr. Bayard, and alleged that they were apprehensive they might be brought into trouble if they parted with the money (which I apprehend is some thousands,) as his Britannic Majesty had a debt due him for government bills: it was however agreed by the creditors met, that the assignees should take the opinion of counsel; they did so, and it was that they would be safe in dividing the money among the creditors. I urged Mr. Cox to bring the business to a final close; his answer was, it would be but a trifling sum; my reply was, if ever so trifling, I would have my proportion of it. It has however lain over.
I therefore hope the creditors will now come forward and oblige the assignees to divide whatever they have, and they ought to pay interest too. George Meade. Philadelphia, 2d November, 1796. diw 5N.

STOP THE THIEVES!!!
LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Eiler's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward. It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of.
One Hundred Dollars Reward
Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21. d
