PITTSBURGH, Feb. 3.
The Superintendent of Indian affairs has the pleasure to inform the public, that he on the 31st ult. had a conference with a Chief of the Six Nations (whose veracity he thinks may be depended upon) by whom he is informed that in consequence of the speeches of Congress last summer, a deputation from the Six Nations were sent last fall to the westwardly and northwesterly tribes of Indians within the United States territory, desiring them to behave themselves peaceably towards the United States.—That a part of this deputation is still amongst the nations mentioned, on that business, and that he thinks nothing prejudicial to the citizens of the United States is to be apprehended from any of the Indian nation, in consequence of the late conferences held among themselves, and that it is their further intention to depend upon their own Councils, and not to follow the advice of a people who have so long led them astray.
This account comes directly to this Chief from one of the principals of the Six Nations who attended the Sandusky Council.
On Saturday last, the Geographer of the United States returned here from superintending the business of his department in the western territory.—From him we learn, that the first, second, third and fourth ranges are completely surveyed into townships, and that the information given by a certain gentleman, respecting seven townships of the fifth range being surveyed, which was published in our paper of the 25th of November last, was premature.

Last night, Mr. Edward Smith, of this town, arrived here, from Canada, and informs that on Thursday last week, he met, at Capt. Phelps's tavern, on the Grand Isle, near the sand bar, on Lake Champlain, Shays, Wheeler, and Major Wiley, Captains Billings, Conkey, Cornel, and Hinds, Mr. Grey, one of the rebel counsellors, and wife, Mr. Billings, brother to the Captain, and two other rebels of distinction. They had with them six horses, and two sleighs. Grand Isle is about 16 miles from the British post at Duttchman's point.
On Wednesday, the corps of artillery, commanded by Major Witherlee , belonging to this town, returned from the expedition into the western counties—The perseverance of this corps, notwithstanding the hardships necessarily attendant on the service of artillery, proved very instrumental in crushing the rebellion, and has gained them much honor. The corps was met about three miles from town, and accompanied in, by a number of gentlemen of distinction in military and private life, among whom were Major Seward, Major Davis, Lieut. Parker, Mr. Dana, &c.
Major Cushing arrived in town on Thursday evening last, from the county of Hampshire, but brings no material information—nothing remaining to be done, entirely to extinguish the expiring sparks of rebellion, in the western counties, but for the judicial department to pass the sentence of the law on some of the most flagitious characters.
Col. Humphreys of Connecticut, with a detachment of 150 of his regiment, are doing duty at Springfield, as a guard to the federal arsenal.
NEW-YORK, MARCH 13.
A gentleman from Rhode-Island has favored the Printers with the copy of a letter from the Secretary at War, to Colonel Barton, of Providence, accompanying an elegant Sword, together with Colonel Barton's answer:
War-Office of the United States, New-York, August 18, 1786.
SIR,
In consequence of the resolve of Congress of the 25th of July 1777, I have the honor to transmit to you the Sword therein directed, as a permanent evidence of the just sense entertained by that Illustrious Assembly, of your address and gallant behaviour, and the party under your command, in making prisoners on Rhode-Island, Major General Prescott, and Major William Barrington, his Aid de Camp.
To the expressive approbation of the Supreme National Authority was added the unanimous applause of the American army. The enterprize was justly regarded as one of those hazardous actions, whose success depends on the exact combination and execution of a variety of parts, and therefore the more glorious.
The circumstances of the late war prevented the execution of the orders of Congress, as it respected the Sword , until the present period.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient, and
very humble Servant,
H. KNOX.
Lieutenant Col. Barton.
ANSWER.
Providence, August 10th, 1786.
SIR,
I have been honored with your letter, accompanied by the Sword , which Congress ordered to me by their resolution of the 25th of July 1777. This mark of approbation from that Illustrious Assembly, demands, and will ever receive, my warmest and most grateful acknowledgments.
If, in this flattering situation, any circumstance was wanting to complete my satisfaction, it was the assurance of a General Knox , that my military conduct met the approbation of that band of heroic brothers, the late American army.
With every sentiment of esteem and regard,
I have the honor of being, Sir,
Your very obedient and
most humble Servant,
WM. BARTON.
The Honorable Major General Knox.
Saturday evening his Excellency Governor Clinton, accompanied by Col. Fish, Adjutant General, and Col. Willet, returned to this city from the northward. On Tuesday last his Excellency had an interview with General Lincoln at New-Lebanon, with whom he afterwards went to Pittsfield (Massachusetts) in order to concert measures for the immediate suppression of the insurgents, should any again dare to assemble in arms. In consequence of the Governor's appearance, the magistrates and military officers of the country held themselves in readiness to take the most active
part therein; but happily no occasion offered for their exertion, as there was not (nor is there at present) the smallest appearance of disaffection in any of the inhabitants there, although from the injudicious reports in circulation respecting them, many were led to imagine, that several there were strongly inclined to countenance and support the insurgents immediately on their first appearance. The fact is, that the people there did not conceive it their duty to take any part on the occasion, until they should be made acquainted with the sense of government; which was no sooner communicated to them by his Excellency's proclamation, then they unanimously shewed the utmost readiness to perform their duty to every extent of their ability, in conformity to the articles of confederation. In consequence of this general decision, the abandoned, disappointed wretches, who had vainly flattered themselves with hopes of protection and succour, dispersed, and embraced every opportunity of escape from a State to which they had offered this audacious insult; nor is there, at this instant, a man of them to be seen in arms within the confines of our territory.
Shays and Wheeler, two of the principals in the insurrection, finding it impossible to procure an asylum in the United States, have gone for Canada, but were stopped at St. John's, the out post, where they were to remain, until the pleasure of Lord Dorchester, respecting their admission into that province, should be known.
GENERAL ORDERS,
Poughkeepsie, March 5th, 1787.
Undoubted intelligence having been received, that a number of the insurgents from the State of Massachusetts, had fled into this State, and were embodied in arms, the Senate and Assembly did thereupon, by concurrent resolutions, recommend it to his Excellency the Commander in Chief, "To repair as soon as possible to the place, or places where the insurgents might be within this State, and to call out such of the militia as should be necessary for apprehending and securing the insurgents, and for preserving the peace of this State against the designs and attempts of the insurgents, their aiders and abettors;" and his Excellency not being at present fully informed of their situation and numbers, so as to ascertain the force requisite to subdue them, directs, that Van Nels's, Payne's and Van Buenschoten's regiments of Dutchess county, and the brigade of Columbia county, hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning.
By the free constitutions of these States, the people enjoy the right of electing their rulers, and the elections are as frequent as can possibly consist with convenience; they have it therefore fully in their power by the mere exercise of the right of election, to relieve themselves from the operation of laws which they may deem grievous, or in any wise improper, and cannot justify recurring to violence, and involving their country in confusion and bloodshed, in order to produce a change in public measures.
The articles of confederation are a solemn compact between the States for mutual defence against all attempts, on any pretence whatever, which may be made against their sovereignty or government and it is expressly stipulated, that all fugitives from justice shall be delivered up.—From these considerations his Excellency persuades himself, that the militia will be prompt to their duty on this occasion, in repelling those, who by violating the peace, and attempting to subvert the government of one State, may eventually endanger the general safety and freedom of the Union.
His Excellency has during the late war had repeated proofs of the patriotism of the militia in that quarter of the State where it is reported that the insurgents have intruded, and he has confidence that the same virtue still exists, and will equally manifest itself in preserving and supporting, as it hath heretofore done, in establishing a government which has this peculiar felicity, that it not only originated in the will and choice of the people, but they can also, in virtue of the rights of election, always controul the administration, without a violation of peace and good order.
NICHs. FISH, Adj. Gen.
GENERAL ORDERS,
Poughkeepsie, March 9th, 1787.
His Excellency the Commander in Chief, on his return to this place, was highly pleased with the good appearance of Col. Van Buenschoten's regiment in review. He is peculiarly happy in the present opportunity of returning his thanks to the officers and men, for the cheerfulness they have manifested, and the promptitude with which they have complied with his order of the 5th instant.
At the same time, he is happy to have it in his power to express his warmest approbation of the spirit and conduct of the officers, civil and military, in the different districts through which he has passed, exhibited by their exertions to support good order and good government.
NICHs. FISH, Adj. Gen.
On Sunday the 4th of February last, died, in the 103d year of his age, Jacob Wijnier , a native of Germany.—In Queen Ann's reign, he emigrated into North-Carolina, where he lived ten years;—he then came and settled in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, where he married his third wife, with whom he lived 67 years, and had 170 children, grand-children, and great-grand-children;—his widow is about 84 years old. He retained his senses till about two months, and could walk out, dress and undress himself, till about two weeks before he died.
Extract of a letter from London, November 22, 1787. "It is a subject of much regret to every friend of America, to see the proceedings of some of your counties and towns. Uneasy and restless under a government in which they enjoy perfect freedom, they are taking effectual measures to create themselves a Tyrant e're-long. By wishing to abolish the Senate, they are destroying that balance of power by which alone their liberties are secured to them. Our Printers eagerly seize every paragraph of this kind and publish it, which they would not do if they did not conceive they could injure America by it. They have given us in this day's paper the proceedings of the Convention of Hampshire, which are a disgrace to your annals."
The General Assembly of the State of South-Carolina, have elected Thomas Pinckney, Elqure, Governor, and Thomas Gadlden, Esq. Lieutenant Governor, of said State.

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. THE Public are cautioned to beware of Counterfeit Four Pound Bills of the late emission of this State—they are printed with a smaller type than the genuine ones, and the whole appears dull, the left wing of the eagle is larger in the forged bills, and the paper rather darker colour. The small capitals, FOUR POUNDS, in the body of the bill, appear remarkably small in the counterfeits.
By a late letter from Annapolis, we are informed of several solemn conferences, between both houses of the Legislature of that State; deputies have been nominated to the grand Convention, to be held in Philadelphia in May next, from whose united deliberations and wisdom, so much dignity and benefit to the confederation is expected, by every well-wisher to liberty and independence. The following clause is descriptive of the power with which they are invested—"It is agreed, that the deputies from this State, or any three or more of them, be authorised, on behalf of this State, to meet such deputies as may be appointed and authorised by the other States, to assemble in Convention at Philadelphia, for the purpose of revising the federal system, and to join with them in considering such alterations, and further provisions as may be necessary to render the federal constitution adequate to the exigencies of the union, and in reporting such an act, for the purpose, to the United States in Congress, as when agreed to by them, and duly confirmed by the several States, will effectually provide for the same.
"It was also agreed, that five commissioners for this State be appointed, and that they, or any three or more of them, be authorised to meet commissioners from the States of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, jointly or separately, and to communicate the regulations of commerce, and duties proposed by each State, and to confer on such subjects as may concern the commercial interests of the said States, and within the power of the respective States. And, that the meeting of the commissioners be in the third week of September next, and at such places as they shall agree on. And that their proceedings be reported to the Legislature of this State."

VIVAT RESPUBLICA. THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, By Thomas Allen,
No. 16, Queen-Street, corner of the Fly-Market. THE TASK: A Poem in six books. By WILLIAM COWPER, of the Inner-Temple, Esq. handsomely bound and lettered.
The publisher of the American Edition of this excellent Poem, (the Task) instead of giving an account of it himself, begs leave to present to the public the following extract from the monthly review for June, 1786:
"It is very seldom that we are furnished with an entertainment that mingles delight and improvement in so perfect a degree, as the present ingenious and truly original publication. The author is always moral, yet never dull; and though he often expands an image, yet he never weakens its force. If the same thought occurs, he gives it a new form; and is copious without being tiresome. He frequently entertains by his comic humour, and still oftener awakens more serious and more tender sentiments, by useful and by pathetic representations; by descriptions that sooth the and melt the heart, and by reflections which carry their alarm to the conscience, and rouse and terrify guilt in its closest retreats." 79

To the PUBLIC.
A Gentleman of the physical profession, regularly educated, offers with great deference his services to the public. As he was many years a surgeon of practice, he hopes his experience will particularly recommend him to those who have the misfortune to be exposed to the ravages of a disorder prevalent enough in all populous cities. As he happens to be a stranger, he can have little more, exclusive of the knowledge of his profession to recommend him, save only the moderation of his charges, and the most assiduous attention to such patients as will honor him with their confidence.
It is his interest and duty to observe the most inviolable secrecy where occasion requires. In all disorders whatsoever, he gives advice gratis, to such poor persons as come recommended by any of the Clergy, or respectable families in this city. All seamen are informed, that directions and medicines will be given which may enable them to cure themselves in many disorders incident to their situation, if they observe attention to his rules.
The Doctor may be consulted every day, at the Wildow Bull's, No. 58, Fair-street, near Golden-hill. 79
