WE the subscribers, weavers of the city of Philadelphia, attended this day, Thursday May 24th, at Mr. PEARCE'S COTTON MANUFACTORY, No. 13, Penn-Street, to view his machinery; most of us are Europeans, and do all agree, that his abilities in mechanism are superior to any we ever saw, especially in his double loom, in which one man can weave two pieces at the same time, 42 inches wide, with equal facility to one piece in the common loom; this useful loom, when examined, appears simple, the art of working it soon attained, and the extra expense very small; his machines for carding and roving are excellent; and all the rest of the utensils prepared for the business are contrived with great judgment, the whole of which we hope will soon come into general use, and be found of great utility in the United States.

NEWSPAPERS.
To give facility to the conveyance of Newspapers agreeably to the law of the United States, the Post-master General proposes—
1st. THAT all newspapers to be conveyed by post, being marked, as usual, with the names of the persons to whom they are to be delivered, should, by the respective Printers, be formed into convenient packages; each package to be under cover (open at one end as the law directs) and addressed to the proper Post-Master, by whom its contents are to be delivered. That on such cover, the Printer mark distinctly, the number of newspapers contained within it, for Printers of newspapers and for Subscribers.
2d. For the accommodation of Subscribers living remote from Post-Offices, their newspapers may be formed into other covered packages, marked with the number of papers they respectively contain, and directed to be delivered at noted taverns, or other convenient stands on the post-roads.—Such packages being also addressed to the nearest Post-masters, short of the places of their final destination, shall be conveyed in the mail, and be by such Post-masters delivered to the mail carriers to be lodged as they pass at the stands here referred to. But as the Post-masters are responsible for the postage of all newspapers by them delivered, such subscribers must either pay the postage in advance, or make engagements to the satisfaction of the post-masters respectively for the payment thereof, monthly or quarterly, as they can agree.
3d. It is desirable that such newspapers as are to be conveyed in the mail should be dried—This will reduce their weight about one third; and at the same time secure their delivery in good order—news-papers put up damp from the press, often get injured in the carriage, their covers are worn off, and their directions rendered illegible.
4th. These modes of conveying news-papers are proposed as the most eligible which at present occur—If others more convenient should be devised, they will be readily adopted.
TIMOTHY PICKERING.
General Post-Office, Philadelphia, June 1, 1792.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. PENNO,
A WRITER in a late Wilmington paper, in some strictures on the new proposed Constitution for the State of Delaware, republishes the article which renders the Clergy ineligible to seats in the Legislature—this he considers as a violation of equal rights, as degrading that order of men to the condition of slaves, and the offspring of slaves.
In answer to these remarks, a writer in the same paper observes—"If there exists a class of men among us who by the influence of their profession, or by any other influence, except that of talents and virtue, could gain seats in the Legislature, such class of men should be excluded: Is there no danger to be apprehended from eloquent and crafty Priests? Could not such command all the votes and all the influence of their congregations? The sword of religious discord, which has destroyed more than plague, pestilence and famine, has lost its edge in these states. We have seen in a public procession, Christian Ministers of different denominations walking arm in arm with a Rabbi of the Jews. But is there no danger of tormenting affrighted religious dissensions, by exciting in the laity of different denominations, a conceit for the carrying of their respective Priests? Or is there no danger that such conceits would be excited?"
On which a correspondent remarks—That the reasoning contained in the above quotation, is subversive of every principle of right, justice and freedom. To point out, and stigmatize any class or profession of citizens, by disqualifying distinctions, is clearly an invasion of indefeasible rights; to deprive them of their rank in society, antecedent to any act by which they have incurred punishment, is unjust; and a community to hold a perpetual proscription over the heads of a particular body of men, is an outrage against liberty that every one possessing a particle of benevolence must revolt at.
But why talk of "eloquent and crafty Priests"—are there not eloquent and crafty Lawyers, Merchants, Physicians, Farmers and others?—"Cunning and crafty" are convertible terms, sometimes meaning one thing, and sometimes another. In Merchants, Lawyers, Farmers, &c. they signify address and found reasoning—but applied to the Clergy, they always have a wicked meaning. An implacable spirit towards the Clergy, has been discovered in many recent publications—for what good reason does not appear. Certain it is that no description of persons have shown themselves greater friends to liberty and the independence of the United States, than the Clergy. But there are some individuals come in among us, who are for denouncing the rights of man, that they will to deprive the people of the right of thinking and judging for themselves. These declaimers for the people, are for taking the people under their own guardianship—and to prevent the people from being imposed on by craft and cunning, they would deprive them of the right of electing those whom the people may suppose the best qualified to promote their interest.—It would be just as wise to prohibit the people from electing any man who wears a black coat, or a wig, as to exclude the Clergy from the Legislatures in this country; where the clerical profession boasts of no legal and exclusive privileges, and where it can never be made an engine of, unless by unjust proscriptions clergymen should be compelled to form combinations in their own defence.
FROM THE AMERICAN MUSEUM.
REFLECTIONS ON THE STATE of the UNION.
Concerning the manufactures of the United States.
(CONTINUED.)
IT is an obvious truth, that every thing is more valuable in proportion to the number and extent of its uses, or the purposes to which it can be advantageously applied: Flax, hemp, wool, silk, cotton, indigo, tobacco, hides, iron, wood, grain, and cattle, are valuable, where they are wanted merely as exports; but they manifestly acquire a new value, when wanted to employ, accommodate or nourish manufactures. In places from whence those articles cannot be exported, without a great expense of transportation, it is very desirable to give them this second use: but in situations too interior to be affected by the demand for exportation, and where of course they are not required for the purposes of external commerce, this new use must be created for them, or they will not be produced, and agriculture will consequently languish. This view of the subject suggests the indispensable necessity of manufactures to the prosperity of the interior and western country as before intimated. Nor will these ideas appear on examination, to be merely plausible conjectures. They are no less supported by the facts of things, than by probability and reason. The towns of Washington, Pittsburgh, Bedford, & Huntingdon, in Pennsylvania, (the nearest of which is 150 miles from a sea-port, exhibit the strongest proofs, that manufactures are the best support of the interior landed interest, and are necessary at once to the accommodation and prosperity of the cultivators of the middle and western country. The following table contains an account of the population of those villages, which is not exaggerated.
   Washington. Pittsburgh. Bedford. Huntingdon.     Clock and watchmakers, 1 1 1   Silversmiths, 1   Coopers, 1 2 1   Skin-dressers & breeches makers, 1 4 2   Tanners and curriers, 1 2 2 2   Tailors, 2 2 3 3   Cabinet makers, 2 4 4   Blacksmiths, 2 5 2 4   Shoemakers, 2 5 2 2   Hatters, 2 2 1   Dyers, 1 2   Weavers, 2 2   Reed makers, 1 2   Sadlers, 3 2   Saddle-tree makers, 1   Spinning-wheel makers, 1   Nailers, 1 1   Maltsters and brewers, 1 1   Potters, 1   Tinners, 1 2   Distillers, 3 1   Wheelwrights, 3 1 2   Stocking weavers, 1 1   Gunsmiths, 3   Ropemakers, 1   Whitesmiths, 2   Total of manufacturers, 32 37 15 23   Total families, 130 145 85  
* The population of Washington is unknown but it is less than that of Pittsburgh.
It appears from this table, that in those country towns (or seats of justice) in the interior and western parts of Pennsylvania, the necessity for manufactures has occasioned a little congregation of artizans, in the proportion of twenty-seven parts in one hundred, of the whole village in the smallest instance, and in the proportion of thirty-seven parts in one hundred, in the largest. The town of Washington, which is the most remote, and is beyond the Ohio, has been created since the late war. Its distance is about 320 miles west of Philadelphia. The variety of its manufactures is striking, and it may be justly affirmed, that at the seats of justice, in the counties of Delaware, Bucks, Chester and Montgomery, which are nearest to Philadelphia, as great a number of manufacturers, in proportion to their respective population, does not exist, though the family manufactures are more considerable in these, and though they have numerous tanneries, iron works, powder mills, paper mills, blacksmiths, hatters, shoemakers, weavers, and other valuable workmen, in their villages and scattered throughout their populous townships. This, however, is the case, in some degree, likewise in the townships of the western scene above described.
In the midland counties of Pennsylvania, manufactures have resulted from a flourishing agriculture, and, immediately on their birth, have contributed to the prosperity of the cultivators. The borough of Lancaster, which is the largest inland town in the United States, is sixty-six miles from a seaport, and ten from any practicable boat navigation. The number of families was in 1786, about 700, of whom 234 were manufacturers. The following is the list of them. Fourteen hatters, thirty-six shoemakers, four tanners, seventeen saddlers, twenty-five tailors, twenty-five weavers of woollen, linen, and cotton cloth, three flocking weavers, twenty-five
white and black smiths, six wheelwrights, eleven coopers, six clock and watch makers, six tobacco and snuff manufacturers, four dyers, seven gunsmiths, five ropemakers, four tinners, two brass founders, three skin dressers, one brush maker, seven turners, seven nail makers, five silversmiths, three potters, three brewers, three coppermiths, and two printers in English and German. There were in 1786, also within thirty-nine miles of the town, seventeen furnaces, forges, rolling mills and sitting mills, and within ten miles of it eighteen corn mills, sixteen saw mills, one fulling mill, four oil mills, five hemp mills, two boring and grinding mills for gun barrels, and eight tanneries. The increase since 1786, must have been very considerable; for the attention of the United States has been very much turned to manufactures since the year 1787. It may be safely affirmed, that the counties of Lancaster (in which the borough is) York and Berks are the most vigorous in Pennsylvania, perhaps in the union, and that there are none in the state in which there are more manufactures, is beyond all question. They are all fifty miles or more from the nearest seaport.
Information through several channels, affords the greatest reason to believe, that the interior of Frederick and Elizabeth towns in Maryland, Stanton in Virginia, Lexington in Kentucky, and other towns in the southern states, would prove on examination, similar to those of Pennsylvania, and that the improvements in necessary manufactures are as visible and as rapid, as those in agriculture.
The reflections arising from these facts are highly satisfactory, and as they open new and extended views of the resources and capacities of the United States, they must increase the prevalent disposition of the people to improve the interior economy of our country. It is devoutly hoped that they may also contribute to remove the apprehensions of our southern and western fellow citizens, in regard to unjust sacrifices of their interests to those of their brethren in other quarters, and that they may lead to such further examinations as will finally evince those direct and indirect benefits from American manufactures, which are sincerely believed to pervade the whole union.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
NOTE.
The following account of the size and of the manufactures of Winchester, in Virginia, is furnished by a person lately a resident in that place. It appears to exceed the towns of Pennsylvania in the proportion of manufacturers.
There are about two hundred houses in Winchester. Provisions and wood are low.
There are four or five tan yards. The demand for leather is so great, that it is generally sold unlit for use.
One rope yard carried on extensively. One or two coachmakers. Few carriages are used, the country being stony and hilly.
The bakers and distillers brew now and then. There are three or four distilleries in town.
In the neighbourhood there are many.
There are also several oil mills in the neighbourhood. The price of flaxseed is 2s. and 2 1/2s. per bushel, Virginia money.
Grist mills are numerous in the neighbourhood; and teams are constantly employed in the transportation of flour to Alexandria: distance eighty miles: carriage 1 1/4 dollar per barrel.
One coppermith, who carries on his business very extensively.
Three tin plate workers.
Eight or ten hatters. Wool hats, of Winchester make, are in much repute, and are venden in large quantities. Price eleven dollars per dozen. Single hat, one dollar.
Note. Wool is one third of a dollar per lb. and is often ordered up from Philadelphia by the Winchester hatters.
Twelve or fifteen saddlers.
Note. This manufacture, as well as the hating, is in a flourishing condition, and carried on very extensively.
Five or six blacksmiths—one employed in plating saddle trees.
Three or four wheelwrights.
Eight or ten tailors.
Eight or nine shoemakers.
Four or five weavers. Two spinning wheel makers.
Three or four saddle tree makers.
EXTRACT.
GRATITUDE is the growth of a worthy and fitly tempered mind, and always takes root in a well disposed heart. One who is inspired with religious gratitude is indeed satisfied with all the dispensations of heaven; but receives with peculiar sensibility every favour, and looks upon it as a new demand upon him for some suitable returns. The regularity, the pleasure, the cheerfulness, the grateful emotions and affections of a rectified heart, are a counterpart to the beauties of creation, and of the wise and beneficent administrations of the universal Governor. To be excited to thankfulness and obedience by the propriety, beauty, and beneficence of God's works, is the characteristic of a truly great and pious mind, and as highly embellishes the man, as blosoms, fruits and verdure beautify the seasons.

CONGRESS.
PHILADELPHIA.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1792.
MILITIA BILL.
The section empowering the President of the United States to call out the Militia, added as an amendment to the bill by the Senate, under consideration.
MR. MERCER opposed the section. He considered the subject too important to receive a hasty decision; and as the session is so near its close, and no immediate necessity exists to make the provision, he hoped it would be postponed to the next session.
Mr. Steele objected to the section—he considered it as having an inauspicious aspect—that it was an insult to the majesty of the people to hold out the idea that it may be necessary to execute the laws at the point of the bayonet. He moved as an amendment, "that nothing in this act shall be construed to empower the President to march the militia of one state into another." He said he had no doubt that there were in every state a sufficient number of persons well informed, and attached to government, to quell any insurrection, and to restore good order.
Mr. Benton supported the section—he observed that the question must be met some time or other—and he conceived that it would be a perfect nullity to pass a militia law without the provision contemplated by the amendment—for, he asked, to what purpose is it to constitute a militia, if they are not to be made any use of to support the laws. According to a doctrine which was avowed in the House yesterday, the institution of a militia is to enable the individual states to oppose the encroachments which may be made on them by the general government! This he conceived was an entire new doctrine, such a doctrine as was never before heard of. What sort of government must that be, which is authorized to pass laws, and at the same time has no power to carry those laws into execution? He said that such a discretionary power was lodged in the supreme executive of the several states, and for exactly the same purposes specified in the amendment; and he had never heard it objected to before. Gentlemen contend that this power is proper, as it respects the several states, but highly improper as it respects the government of the United States. What sort of a situation said he, does this place this government in?
Mr. Williamson objected to the amendment, as imperfect in its construction, and as containing some dangerous principles.
Mr. Livermore also opposed the amendment.
Mr. Gerry opposed the amendment, as vesting a dangerous power in the supreme executive; that circumstances did not render the delegation necessary. The people of the several states appear disposed to submit to the laws, and such an exigency ought not to be anticipated.
Mr. Murray said he had voted in the affirmative on the amendment which had just been annexed to the amendment from the Senate, because it limited the duration of a power which struck his mind as rather large and undefined as to its objects. He should now vote against the whole as amended; and he was at liberty to do so, inasmuch as he had voted for the amendment, because he wished, if the gift of such power was to be made, to circumscribe at least its duration. He professed himself a friend to energetic government, but wished to communicate such energy through well defined channels, and to see it directed towards constitutional objects. He would go as far as most men in enforcing the laws of the union—in providing for the calling out of the strength of the community to preserve
peace and repel force—but he could not accede to the idea contained in the provision of that section, which was, that the time, the cause, and the place in which the militia were to be called out, should be all left to the discretion of one man. The theory of the government warranted no such dereliction of power in this House, nor its delegation to another. He imagined that as the constitution had contemplated the organizing of the militia separately from the provision for calling them into actual service, it would be most proper to separate these different objects in legislation. He therefore hoped the amendment, as amended, would be negatived, and that a committee would be appointed immediately to bring in a bill to accomplish its objects with proper modifications. To create and organize a militia, was one thing—to provide for calling it forth to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions, was another and separate object. These things were as separate in their natures, as they were diversified by relative inferiority and magnitude of objects. The ingenuity with which a weapon is formed, bears no comparison with the principles and wisdom under which its use and direction are to be applied. Of all the offices of politics, the most irksome and delicate is that by which a legislature directs the military force of the community to its own conservation, as it presupposes situations in which resistance to the government itself is contemplated. Hence we see a jealousy even in England of the use of the sword, when drawn against any part of the community. It was surely the duty of Congress to define with as much accuracy as possible those situations which are to justify the execution in its interposition of a military force. The bill he had in view, he hoped, would attempt to mark with precision the objects the constitution looked towards, under the words "execute the laws of the union, and suppress insurrections." What was the occasion to warrant force of that species, was the first object—who was to judge of its existence, was another—the space or district to which the duty should be or not be confined, was another—and the duration of the service, another. Among these considerations, it could not be forgotten that the civil arm was ever to be united, if not commanding; and how far the marshals and judges of the courts of the union ought not to have a power on this subject, deserved more time than the House seemed inclined at present to give this bill. He would take the occasion to declare he had no jealousy as to abuses of power—but this government is to be administered according to written law, applying to defined objects and situations. It was a government of definition; and not of trust and discretion. After the objects are well described upon which the military force is to act, the evidence, of the occasion settled, and the sphere and duration limited, he would heartily support the most energetic mode in which the object should be reached, and the occasion obeyed—he therefore hoped the amendment would be negatived, and leave given for a committee to bring in a separate bill.
PARIS, April 15. By letters from Hamburg and Stockholm, we learn, that the King of Sweden died of his wound on the 29th of March. The Prince Royal has been proclaimed King—During the minority, the kingdom will be governed by the Duke of Sudermania in the capacity of Regent.
APRIL 6. M. Duranton (an eminent lawyer of Bourdeaux) was appointed Minister of Justice on the 13th instant. Letter of M. Gouvion,* to the President of the National Assembly.
PARIS, 14 April, 1792. MR. PRESIDENT, I have the honor to enclose my resignation to the office of Deputy to the National Assembly. Were I called upon to express my motives, I should say, that it would be too painful to me, to live any longer in a city, where some magistrates of the people
* This gentleman was Colonel in the army of the United States during the late war.
ple, rejoicing in the triumph of the murderers of my brother and his fellow-soldiers, have humbled the National Guards, who were stepped forward to the execution of the law. Let me be placed with true friends to the constitution, and then it will be seen who defend it best, we, or the factious.
I am, &c.
GOUVION.
The following letter is said to have been written by fifty Bretons, on their arrival at Coblenz, to M. D'Artois:
SIR, "The Bretons have the honor to pay their respects to you; they ask for bread, arms, and the road to Paris."
To which M. D'Artois answered. "I shall have, gentlemen, the happiness of dividing my own bread with you, of offering you my own sword (If I have no other weapon) and of marching at your head."
The news of the death of the King of Sweden is confirmed in the most positive manner. This intelligence has influenced public credit, for no sooner did it reach Hamburg, but it produced a rise of the exchange with France. It is to be presumed that Sweden, in the embarrassments of a minority will not attempt to join the leagues of princes to which Gustavus was so much attached, and that this event will slacken the ardor of the Cruzaders against the liberties of France.
Exchange at Paris on the 16th of April:
For 100 livres hard money, 156 livres in assignats, a louis d'or costs 40 livres 4 sols in assignats.
The above are extracted from the Gazette Universelle and Journal de Paris.
It is said that conspiracies have, since the death of Prince Potemkin, been forming in Russia, and that the empire is threatened with a revolution.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, March 28. In the opening of this morning's sitting, information was received that, in the department de Conral, fresh riots have broke out, infinitely more terrible than those which had some time ago been happily quelled. The chateaux are in a blaze; and the property of individuals is a prey to the mob. The inhabitants, struck with terror, demand the most speedy succours.
Referred to the committee of twelve. Ordered—"That the thanks of the nation be voted to the Governor of Jamaica, to the British government, to the American Congress, and to the State of Pennsylvania, for the succours granted to the colony of St. Domingo."
LONDON, April 5.
Yesterday a messenger came express from Paris to the French Minister; it is said, that he brings information that the National Assembly, from the answer of Prince KAUNITZ, had judged it the most prudent and effectual means of securing permanency to the constitution to declare war against the King of Hungary, whom they consider as only tampering to watch the most favorable opportunity of overturning the objects of the French Revolution.
A messenger has been dispatched by our government to Earl Gower at Paris, to direct him to explain, and, if possible, conciliate the transaction in the East-Indies.
APRIL 9. Gustavus the Third, King of Sweden, was born in 1746, and succeeded his father in 1780. He possessed abilities greatly superior to those of his predecessor, and had much more ambition; his understanding had been cultivated, he had an insinuating address, and a graceful and commanding elocution. He was at Paris when his father died, and soon after his arrival at Stockholm, swore to preserve the constitution as established in 1772, and not to introduce absolute sovereignty. He did every thing to gain the affections of the Nobles and the People. He gave public audiences three times a week, and to have received an injury was certain of procuring an introduction; he listened to the meanest of his subjects with affability, and entered into the minutest
details that concerned them, by which means he made himself adored. But at the same time he was fomenting the differences between the States, and, by his emissaries, sowing discontent among the people, until finding the business ripe, he in one hour made the whole Senate prisoners, totally overturned the mode of government, rendering himself in fact, tho' not in appearance, one of the most absolute Monarchs in Europe.
His death must give great joy to the friends of French liberty. The Swedish monarchs had long received pensions from France—and Gustavus of Holstein was an enthusiast for the old government.
The King of Sweden married Sophia Magdalena in 1776, Princess Royal of Denmark, by whom he had issue Gustavus Adolphus, born Nov. 1, 1778.
The assassin of the King of Sweden had been doomed by his majesty to a long and tyrannical imprisonment, for having thwarted his ambition in the late revolution and the overthrow of the nobles.
The conspiracy was discovered to have been formed against more lives than that of the King, but mentions only the Duke de Sudermania as having been upon the list of proscribed Nobility.
When the packet that carried Dr. Willis to Portugal entered the Tagus they were met by the royal barge with 120 oars, attended by two cutters, one of which, enquired "If the great physician was on board;" which being answered in the affirmative, the other cutter drew near the packet, and the prince and princess of Brazil appearing on the quarter-deck, the Doctor was formally announced by the Captain; but declining to go on shore in state, was conducted to the Duke of Northumberland's hotel, where he was met by Monsieur Pinto, the late ambassador to our court, and several other distinguished personages.
The Syren, Captain Manly; the Andromeda, Capt. Salisbury; and the Hyena, Capt. Kinnier, all at Plymouth, are ordered instantly to the West-Indies. The discussions respecting the slave trade will, no doubt, find their way to our colonies in the speediest manner—to prevent any disturbances which may be produced by an improper use of these discussions, is probably the reason for this sudden increase of our naval force in that quarter.
Saturday evening the remains of the late Earl of Bute arrived at Glasgow from London, in a hearse drawn by six horses, with several mourning coaches following, and lay in state that night in the Black Bull Inn there. The Coffin was covered with red velvet, on the sides of which were five large coronets, and two stars.
Yesterday Captain John Kimber, of the ship Recovery, belonging to Bristol, was brought before Sir Samson Wright, from the city of Bristol and committed to take his trial for the murder of one or more Negro women, whom he was transporting as slaves from Calabar, in Africa, to the West-Indies.
The husband of a vocal heroine is said to have procured a cornet of dragoons through superior interest, on condition that he leaves his baggage behind him when he goes upon service.
CANADA.
The military force at present in Canada consists of a detachment of artillery, the royal fusileers, commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Edward, the 4th, 5th, 20th, 24th, 26th, and 65th regiments of foot, and Col. Simcoe's new-raised corps.
DR. PRIESTLEY'S CAUSE.
In about nine hours after the beginning of the trial, the jury returned their verdict for 2502l. 18s. being 1619l. 13s. 9d. less than Dr. Priestley's claim, which was 4122l. 11s. 9d.
A SCRAP ON KINGS.
Kings surely 'stand on slippery places' The prices current of monarchs, in Europe, has lately suffered a rapid fall. England's light—France's insignificant—The Empire's poisoned—Sweden's assassinated—Portugal's crazy—Russia's superannuated—Denmark's weak—Prussia's mad—but Poland's happy.

CHARLESTON, May 1. At a meeting of the citizens, at Williams's coffee-house, on Friday evening, Gen. Moultrie in the chair. Resolved, That the establishment of a fund for the purpose of purchasing or taking up judgments, bonds, or other evidences of debts, owing by the inhabitants of this state, and thereupon extending the time of payment to debtors, on their giving sufficient security for discharging the same, would be highly beneficial both to debtors and creditors, and to the community at large.
Resolved, That Messrs. John Julius Pringle, David Ramsay, Thomas Frost, John Edwards, Adam Tunno, D. De Saussure, D. Jennings, N. Ruffel, and John Lloyd, sen. be a committee to prepare and report a plan of an institution conformable to the foregoing resolve:—And that when they have agreed to a plan they publish the same, and lay it before the citizens, at a meeting to be convened within three days thereafter by public advertisement, for their consideration.
WINCHESTER, May 28. Our last accounts from the territory of the United States south of the Ohio, are to the 12th inst.—they state that frequent depredations are still committed by the Indians in that quarter, but that some of them have been killed by a party of militia.—That the boundary line, agreed upon in the treaty which took place last summer, between the United States and the Cherokees, is now running—and that when this necessary business is accomplished, every exertion will be used by Governor Blount to protect the frontiers from any depredations a banditti of outcasts may meditate.
DANBURY, May 28. Wednesday last, was exposed for sale in this town, the four quarters of a calf, killed by Mr. Amos Burritt, butcher at Newtown, which weighed as follows:   Four quarters, 122 3-4  Caul, 5 3-4  Skin, 17  Total, 145 1-2   The calf was 5 weeks and 5 days old, raised by Mr. Nitam Curtis, of Newtown.
BALTIMORE, June 5. By the Brigantine Greyhound, Captain Elias Porter, who arrived here in thirteen days from Cape-Francois, we are informed, that the situation of affairs, respecting the disturbances in Hispaniola, were every day a more melancholy aspect—that all hopes of peace being restored, were relinquished—that the colony was, beyond a doubt, irretrievably lost—that, till latterly, some expectations were entertained of the arrival of more troops from France, but then every prospect of that nature had closed in despair—that attacks were made, almost every night, on the out-ports contiguous to the Cape—that the military force was so enfeebled, that a general massacre was apprehended—that the whites were emigrating daily, and it was thought that, in the course of a few months, not one would be found remaining on the French part of the Island—that it was confidently believed, that some celebrated characters (among whom is supposed to be the well known Count d'E—, who had, a little before, arrived in a clandestine manner from France) were the chief actors among the revolted mulattoes—that the Colonial Assembly was in a state of the most ruinous anarchy, the members having, on the day before Captain Porter sailed, carried their differences on political opinions so far, that they actually drew their swords on each other, and the house would have been drenched in blood, had not the interposition of some less turbulent spirits subsided the dreadful ferment.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated March 23, 1792, to a gentleman in this town, received yesterday.
"What passes within our own country is more interesting than the affairs abroad. The King pushed impatriotism so far as to dismiss the only two patriotic Ministers he had near him, Narbonne and Cahier de Gerville. The National Assembly has arrested de Lestart, whose manoeuvres have been for a long time obnoxious; it has seized upon his papers, and sent him to Orleans, in order to be tried by the High National Court. It is said even that the other Ministers are arrested: That the people of Paris demand loudly the head of the Queen. It is added, that she has been accused, on Monday last, by Mr. Condorcet—They say—they say, in fine, they say things which are almost all incredible, and which, without doubt, could not have been spoken some years ago—but many things are said which perhaps do not exist, and which I will inform you of only when confirmed."
"The army of the line had a deficiency of fifty, two thousand men.—Well, my friend, upon
a simple invitation from the National Assembly, in one day, at the same hour, without any other words but—the country is in danger—four hundred thousand citizens have voluntarily enlisted!—Many of those new soldiers have been seen to ride post in order to get more quickly to their colours. Mention me any other country in which soldiers rode post to join their corps!—This, however, is the fact.—So I can assure you, my dear friend, that the good cause will be triumphant, and that probably, before long, twenty enslaved nations will be restored to liberty, and will sing in chorus the celebrated tune of the French Revolution—CA IRA."
HARTFORD, June 4. Last Friday the honorable General Assembly of this state, ended, the business of the Spring session. It ought in justice to be observed that the business of the session was conducted with the utmost candor, harmony and liberality. Nothing of party spirit, private animosity or personal abuse, was introduced in any of the debates. The tendency of the public acts, is to promote and encourage the agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and literature of this state, to open a field for the exertion of enterprise and industry, and to communicate to every class of people the full enjoyment of their rights as men and citizens. Notwithstanding many liberal grants and appropriations were made, such was the favorable situation of our finances, that it was finally determined not to be necessary at this session, to lay any further tax on the inhabitants of this state.
EXTRACT FROM THE RIGHTS OF MAN. Part the second—By THOMAS PAINE. Combining PRINCIPLE and PRACTICE. IT is the nature of compassion to associate with misfortune. In taking up this subject I seek no recompence—I fear no consequence. Fortified with that proud integrity, that disdain to triumph or to yield, I will advocate the Rights of man. "It is to my advantage that I have served an apprenticeship, to life. I know the value of moral instruction, and I have seen the danger of the contrary. At an early period, little more than sixteen years of age, raw and adventurous, and heated with the false heroism of a master* who had served in a man of war, I began the career of my own fortune, and entered on board the Terrible, Privateer, Capt. Death. From this adventure I was happily prevented by the affectionate and moral remonstrance of a good father, who, from his own habits of life, being of the Quaker profession, must begin to look upon me as lost. But the impression, much as it effected at the time, began to wear away, and I entered afterwards in the King of Prussia Privateer, Capt. Mendez, and went with her to sea. Yet, from such a beginning, and with all the inconvenience of early life against me, I am proud to say, that with a perseverance undismayed by difficulties, a disinterestedness that compelled respect, I have not only contributed to raise a new empire in the world, founded on a new system of government, but I have arrived at an eminence in political literature, the most difficult of lines to succeed and excel in, which aristocracy, with all its aids, has not been able to reach or to rival."
"Knowing my own heart, and feeling myself as I now do, superior to all the skirmish of party, the inveteracy of interested or mistaken opponents, I answer not to falsehood or abuse, but proceed to the defects of the English government."
* Rev. William Knowles, master of the grammar school of Thetford, in Norfolk.
"Politics and self-interest have been so uniformly connected, that the world, from being so often deceived, has a right to be suspicious of public characters: but with regard to myself, I am perfectly easy on this head. I did not, at my first setting out in public life, nearly seventeen years ago, turn my thoughts to subjects of government from motives of interest; and my conduct from that moment to this, proves the fact. I saw an opportunity, in which I thought I could do some good, and I followed exactly what my heart dictated. I neither read books, nor studied other people's opinions. I thought for myself. The case was this:"
"During the suspension of the old governments in America, both prior to, and at the breaking out of hostilities, I was struck with the order and decorum with which every thing was conducted: and impressed with the idea, that a little more than what society naturally performed, was all the government that was necessary; and that monarchy and aristocracy were frauds and impositions upon mankind. On these principles I published the pamphlet Common Sense. The success it met with was beyond any thing since the invention of printing. I gave the copy right up to every State in the union, and the demand ran to not less than one hundred thousand copies. I continued the subject in the same manner, under the title of the Crisis, till the complete establishment of the revolution."
"After the declaration of independence, Congress unanimously and unknown to me, appointed me Secretary in the foreign department. This was agreeable to me, because it gave me the opportunity of seeing into the abilities of foreign courts, and their manner of doing business. But a misunderstanding arising between Congress and me, respecting one of their commissioners, then in Europe, Mr. Silas Deane, I resigned the office; and declined, at the same time, the pecuniary offer made me by the ministers of France and Spain, M. Gerard and Don Juan Miralles."
"I had by this time so completely gained the ear and confidence of America, and my own independence was become so visible as to give me a range in political writing, beyond, perhaps, what any man ever possessed in any country; and what is more extraordinary, I held it undiminished to the end of the war, and enjoy it in the same manner to the present moment. As my object was not myself, I set out with the determination, and happily with the disposition, of not being moved by praise or censure, friendship or calumny, nor of being drawn from my purpose by any personal alteration; and the man who cannot do this, is not fit for a public character."
FROM THE CONNECTICUT COURANT.
A PROMPTER.
Rags! Rags! HOW the best things grow out of the worst! Even the bible is made out of rags! And yet people will not save their rags! Authors, printers, arts, sciences, and records all depend on rags for support, and yet rags are thrown away. Great people, that is people really great, save rags. Why? because though saving rags is a very little thing, yet it is a little thing that has great effects. Poor people, who are really poor, that is, people who are not poor and broad, save rags. Why? because every little helps. A few pounds of rags bring a few pence, and pence feed hungry children. But middling people, who are above want and below affluence, will not save rags. Then let them put the business into the hands of little folks; children and maids. Tell Molly and Betty to keep a rag bag in a handy place—give them all the pence that their rags will produce. Their minds are not above the business—they will think of it—they will buy a cap or a hat with a year's collection of rags; and the rags will make a bible or a law book—There is a bible and a capclear gain! Twenty thousand families in Connecticut will save twenty thousand bibles and caps! A great saving this for one year and one state.
P. S. Tell Molly and Betty, that the paper-makers do not mean to get away their dithclouts—after their rags are become unfit for dithclouts and house cloths, they are just as good for paper-makers as ever.
Philadelphia, June 9.
On Tuesday last the PRESIDENT of the United States, and his Lady, attended by the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of the Treasury and his Lady, visited Mr. Pease's Cotton Manufactory. The President attentively viewed the Machinery, &c. and saw the business performed in its different branches—which received his warmest approbation.
The State-House garden, on Monday last, witnessed a scene of great bustle and confusion. To judge from the crowd, and the impatience of the people to reach the windows, a stranger to the cause would have supposed they were pressing in to give their votes in a contested election for Chief Magistrate: But not so—Subscriptions were receiving for the Lancaster turnpike road. From 11 in the morning, till near 12 at night, the subscription remained open, and when closed, 2276 shares were found subscribed. Each subscriber advanced thirty dollars on his share, this multiplied by the number of shares, makes the sum of 68280 dollars, subscribed and paid in about 12 hours. This shews no scarcity of cash. Six hundred is the number of shares limited by law; a lottery was therefore instituted to reduce the subscriptions to the legal number: the thirty dollars returned to those who are excluded by that lottery. Gen. Ad.
A gentleman lately from the interior parts of the state of Pennsylvania, informs that the country in general bears the most promising appearance of a plentiful harvest. The rye, especially between Lebanon and Lancaster, is an instance of extraordinary growth: its height is so great as to give the oldest apple orchards the appearance of a low shrubbery, by entirely concealing the trunk and lower branches of the tallest trees. Some stalks of those rye fields actually measured seven feet nine inches.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Maury, Consul for the United States at Liverpool, to the Secretary of State, dated April 9, 1792.
"It is peculiarly incumbent on all Masters of American vessels coming hither, to use every practicable precaution to be in order."
"The brig Sukey, William Barker, master, from South-Carolina, is under difficulties, and the case appears a singularly hard one. Previous to leaving America, the master had those of his crew not natives sworn before a magistrate, whose qualification was authenticated by the British Consul. These men, on being examined here on oath, and their declarations not according with those they had made in America, the vessel is stopped, and tho' I hope she will still be either admitted to entry or released, yet the delay and other inconveniencies will be very great. The matter is now before the Lords of the Treasury—I submit with deference the propriety of making this transaction public, that it may produce more caution."
A loan was necessary to carry into effect the measures planned by the legislature of the United States for the protection of the frontiers; the legislature accordingly directed this loan to be made—the Bank of the United States have loaned the sum wanted, at an interest of five per cent. per annum, this is called plundering the people!
It seems that if the government wants money it must borrow it, without interest—or wait till the taxes are collected—what a pity they had not applied to the dis-interested fault-finders!
In Necker, we see a penetrating philosophical mind duped by the advocates of religious superstition and imposture. The clergy found him too great a man not to be drawn over to their side, and therefore accomplished their object in the same manner as they formerly did with Boyle, Locke, Newton, Addison, &c. in England. A Layman advocating superstition is always a choice morsel for the clergy. See National Gazette of Monday last.
A correspondent observes on the above, that the men who are there represented as the dupes of superstition and imposture, were among the most distinguished benefactors of mankind that ever lived, and principally on account of their being men of religion and virtue. The religious and moral character and sentiments of these celebrated philosophers have been a "morsel" to infidels that they could never digest—But it is to be lamented that it was reserved for this enlightened age, to produce an assassin of their fame, as men of common sense, or common honesty.
The abusers of government pretend that they are only exercising a right given them by the constitution, for the purpose of preventing abuses, but how unreasonable is it thus to take the advantage and under the cloak of duty to commit error. May we not believe in charity to our own countrymen, that they make but a small number of this class, and that a majority of them are persons from other countries who having lately escaped from bondage, know not how to enjoy liberty."
Married, at New-York, the gift of Col. SENE. of South-Carolina (a young gentleman who served in the American army in the late war with much reputation) to Miss VAN BERCKEL of this city, daughter of his Excellency Mr. VAN BERCKEL, late Minister of the United Netherlands to the United States of America.

Portland (District of Maine) May 28. Capt. Hart, in the Schooner Seaflower, arrived here on Tuesday last, from Port-au-Prince, after a passage of 18 days. When Capt. Hart came away, things were in the utmost confusion. All confidence between man and man seemed to be destroyed. The men of property, honor and honesty, had chiefly left the island; and there remained a set of harpies who preyed upon the substance of unwary strangers.
Capt. Harding arrived here last week from St. Eustatia. He saw there on the 9th inst. Captain Sylvanus Crosby, in the Sloop Betsey, of Rochester. He had been on a whaling cruise, and had on board 110 barrels of oil.

Springer, belonging also to Kennebec, bound to N. York, and would sail in a few days. Capt. Savage, in a ship from Wisecasset, left Liverpool the 8th April. The Schooner Columbia, Capt. Young, left that place the 6th April, was to touch at Whitehaven, and was thence bound to Boston. The brig Indultry, Capt. Rob, of Boston, and Capt. Young, of Philadelphia, failed in company with Capt. Jones. Capt. Edwards, in a brig from Portsmouth, was to sail in a few days. Arrived at Liverpool, on the 7th of April, Capt. Edes, in a ship from Saco, after a passage of twelve weeks from North-Carolina.
Petersburg, V. May 31. The Grand Duke, Capt. Pollock, arrived in James River, has brought an account of the death of the King of Sweden, who is said to have been assassinated at a masquerade, by one of his Nobles.—The same vessel also brings intelligence of the Parliament of England having abolished the Slave-Trade.
Boston, May 31. Arrived, brig Galen, Captain Holland, from London, 52 days. The Rev. Mr. Brown, lady and family, came passengers.

FOR SALE, BLOOMSBURY,
THAT elegant SEAT at the Falls of Delaware, in the vicinity of Trenton, in New-Jersey, occupied for many years past by the subscriber; containing upwards of 200 acres of land, besides a tract of wood-land of about 185 acres, at the distance of two miles. The farm is divided by the main street leading from Trenton to Lambert, and Philadelphia, into two parts, nearly equal in quantity; the eastwardly part being arable land, is laid off in convenient fields, and in good farming order. The other part, bounded by the said street on the east, and by the river on the west, forms a square; which, from the combined effect of situ- ation and improvement, is generally allowed to be one of the most beautiful and desirable seats in the state. The mansion-house is a handsome, well-finished brick building, 50 by 40, containing four rooms on each floor, with excellent cellars, and a two story brick kitchen; and commanding a very extensive and pleasing view of the river, both above and below, as well as including the falls, and also of Trenton and the neighbouring feats and improvements on both sides of the river. Among the out-buildings are a new stone coach-house and stables, sufficient to contain six carriages and ten horses, accommodated with a cutting and feeding room, and a ca- pacious loft for hay; adjoining these is a very complete granary, rat-proof; and a stone cow-house, upwards of 100 feet in length, containing thirty-one paved stalls, over which is a roomy loft for hay, &c. Adjoining the court-yard of the mansion-house, is a gar- den of about two acres, extending towards the river, in the highest state of culture, and abounding with a rich collection of the choicest fruits of almost every kind, and several large asparagus beds, highly manured. At a convenient distance from the man- sion-house, and nearly in the centre of the square, is a new, well- built, stone farm-house, accommodated with a large cheese-room, spring-house, garden, &c. a complete stone smoke-house, corn- cribs, waggon-house, a capacious ice-house, and every other ne- cessary out-building. The ground is properly divided into small fields, all well watered, highly improved, and chiefly under the most approved grass. This square has produced annually, for sev- eral years past, upwards of sixty tons of the best hay, besides supporting, through the summer season twenty to thirty horned cattle, and eight or ten horses. It contains also two bearing or- chards of good fruit. The river abounds, in the proper season, with great plenty of all kinds of fish usually found in fresh water in this climate, and with a variety of wild-fowl; both of which may afford a pleasing amusement to the sportsman, as well as a convenient addition to the elegance and variety of his table. The whole of the land, except the wood-land, is inclosed and divided by good fences, great part of which is formed of red cedar posts, and rails of chestnut and white cedar. The purchaser may have the improved square separately, or the whole together, as may best suit him. There is an inexhaustible quantity of good build- ing stone on the river shore. The purchase money, if well secured, and the interest punctually paid, will not be demanded for many years.
Any person desirous of viewing the premises, may be gratified on application to SAMUEL W. STOCKTON, Esq. of Trenton, or Mr. INALLMAN, who at present occupies the farm-house and part of the land—and may know the price on application to the subscriber, at No. 213, South Second-Street, opposite to the New- Market, in Philadelphia.
