"Go thou and do likewise."
EJACULATION,
To the Memory of Mrs. G. APTHORP.
FRIEND of my life! thro' growing youth endear'd, In death beloved, in waning age rever'd— If a guardian Angel's form divine, O'er my dark days thy melting mercies shine; The MUSE shall charm thee, and each scene renew, With tints reflected, and with touches true.
While o'er this breast the shades of MEMORY flow, While the heart sickens with unsated woe, While sharp unkindness bends her piercing frown, To cut the deeply-wounded spirit down,
Each opening day, on morn's returning wing, Shall to my soul, thy placid virtues bring: That voice by every law of kindness strung, That heart with warm affection ever young, Those cares unwearied e'en in life's decline, That twin'd their bliss round every joy of mine, Whence rose that smile, and whence that raptur'd gaze, Whose look was bounty, whose expression praise. When others, heedless of the bursting blow, Saw the heart bleed, and bade the sorrow flow, I felt thy love the wrongs of fate atone, Resore my hopes but make my grief its own, Nor yet to ONE were all thy cares confin'd, But pour'd their stream on every suffering mind; Who read'st yon Orphans with a parent's care? Or taught the hard oppressor's hand to spare? When many a tear had worn his cheek in vain, Who broke the pining captive's ponderous chain? Warm'd at the view, a thousand voices join Thine was the deed the godlike blessing thine."
While on the flight of time these steps attend, Oft may thy visionary shade descend; Come, like thyself, with every native grace, That deck'd the form, and smooth'd the pleasing face O'er my still couch, with healing wing appear, Calm the quick sigh, and hush the impatient fear; Yet round thy child with fond protection move, And wake the converse of maternal love— Give her, like thee, with virtue's heavenly ray, To trace the desert of her future day, Teach her with patient silence to endure Those ills which grief, nor hope, nor time, can cure, She far divided from thy parting breath, Nor closed the eye, nor smooth'd the couch of death, Yet many a breast, with kind compassion fraught, Bore thy best blessing on the wing of thought, From foreign hearts the sacred relic flow'd, A foreign lip the precious pledge bestow'd.
But short the hour, and soon the moment dies, Ere to thy throne the filial spirit flies, Forget each pang, each sorrow, and each strife, That pierc'd with many a thorn the nerve of life; Taught to forgive, to pity, and to spare, It pours on every wound the balm of prayer; Plucks from the cruel heart its keen distress, And feels the first great blessing is TO BLESS.
P.
* Persons have been relieved from prison, (by this benevolent character) at the advance of many hundred pounds—and in one of the former wars of France, she obtained the dismission of a relation from the Bastille, at the expense of seven hundred and fifty pounds sterling.

MEMOIRS Of the House of Savoy, with some account of the Court of Sardinia.
THE sudden aggrandizement and speedy decline of the house of Savoy, is a problem only to those unacquainted with its history.
The rocks of Mount Cenis proved as lucrative formerly to the Princes of Piedmont, as the found does at present to the Kings of Denmark. During the long and bloody wars, between the houses of Bourbon and Austria, this turnpike road into Italy was frequented by each of them, and a toll regularly levied on the favored army. Nay, if we believe history, it was actually put up to auction, and let to the highest bidder.
Little states, as they possess no real physical strength, provided they enter the vortex of European intrigue, must accustom themselves to a certain degree of political elasticity, and their governors must frequently appear in the humiliating but necessary character of perpetual balance masters. In short, it is by a change of position alone that they can preserve their equilibrium, and prevent a sudden subversion.
It was owing to this policy, that the petty Counts of Maurienne became Dukes of Savoy, and the Dukes of Savoy Kings of Sardinia. It is in consequence of a departure from such a system, that this newly created royalty has been recently shorn of its rays, and after rising in splendour, at the beginning of the present century, (1718) seems but too likely to be subjected to a temporary eclipse, if not doomed to set at last in blood and disgrace.
THE GOVERNMENT Is despotic, therefore military. The officers wield the law at the end of their canes. They are assisted by a numerous clergy, in order to keep the people in ignorance, which, in such a case, is another name for slavery. In Savoy alone, there were six different colleges, exclusively appropriated to, what it is the fashion to term, "theology." There are no less than five Archbishops, twenty-eight bishops, forty-four Abbots, and Monks and Nuns innumerable. Their revenues were immense; but a Savoyard, like a Welch curate, is allowed to starve on 15l. per annum.
Lettres de cachet are as common in Turin, as they were formerly at Versailles; they have their bastilles too, and the term habeas corpus is unknown in any law dictionary on this side of the Alps. In the Legges constituzioni di sa Maesta, promulgated in 1770, there is a whole chapter on the torture!
Table with 2 columns: Countries, Chief Cities. Lists: Piedmont (Turin), Savoy (Chambery), Monferrat (Casal), Alesandrine (Alexandria), Oneglia (Oneglia), Island of Sardinia (Cagliari).
I omit the kingdoms of Cyprus and Jerusalem, although his Majesty includes them in his titles, and even quarters them in his armorial bearings. The inhabitants do not exceed three millions two hundred thousand souls.
TAXES. Turin, like Paris before the revolution, is subject to an impost on all commodities entering and leaving the city, to a per centage on the income, or in other words, the industry of the inhabitants; and also to a capitation.
The taxes levied in the provinces are as numerous as amongst us, and still more vexatious than our excise laws. In addition to the territorial imposts, is a duty on silk worms, the staple of Piedmont, and another on the mulberry tree, which is the indispensable food of this profitable insect. The trees are taxed by the foot, and five sols for each twelve inches of admeasurement must be paid before the peasant crops a single leaf. Another tax, is a lottery, of that kind, called in Italy Loto di Genoa; this, as with us, is a voluntary contribution, raised on the passions of the people, at the expence of their morals. The Catholic prince, who governs this country, also permits the monks to dispose of tickets of about four lire, or six shillings each, on their own account, thus happily blending avarice and devotion together.
REVENUE.
Piedmont produces near 850,000l. sterling a year. The taxes now raised on the people of England, amounting to almost sixty shillings a piece, affect them less than the five and six-pence a head, levied on the former; and yet, prejudice apart, their soil and climate are both superior to our own, and the country abounds with articles for manufacture. Still, however, the Piedmontese are the favored nation, for the other territories are treated with a certain degree of contempt, and their viceroys, judges, and all public officers, even to the hangman, are invariably natives of Piedmont. Savoy, which, besides breeding multitudes of black cattle, exports radishes and chestnuts, and furnishes Paris with chimney-sweepers, and London with grinders of musk, formerly transmitted 150,000l. sterling to the Royal Treasury; since it has assumed the name of Mont Blanc, England has amply indemnified this loss, by means of a subsidy of 200,000l. a year.
The island of Sardinia has been greatly neglected—does not pay for its own government. The expences of the state are at present ruinous in the extreme; the difference between the income and the expenditure, is supplied by an emission of paper money, "De par le Roy."
The late king left his coffers full; but what is termed a monstrous deficit at Turin, (perhaps ten millions sterling) took place before the war, and that deficit occurred during a profound tranquillity, and under a most excellent administration!
TROOPS. The peace establishment is 22,000; in time of war usually 30,000; during the present contest, upwards of 40,000. Of these, one fourth are at this moment prisoners to the French.
The number of subaltern and superior officers is so disproportionate to that of men, that there is said to be an officer for every four privates. The
generals in the army list amount to about three hundred, and there no less than one hundred and fifty officers in the legion of cavalry alone.
MARINE.
As the corps of cavalry at Naples presents the spectacle of horses without riders, so the naval establishment of Sardinia exhibits a marine corps without men of war. There were indeed two frigates launched a few years ago, but they have not been heard of during the present contest. The are perhaps rotting in Cagliari!
After this statement, the disasters of the war will perhaps appear the less surprising. The Austrians defended Piedmont with vigour: it was the frontier to the Milanese; but the moment they were defeated by the French impetuosity, the unpopularity of the government, the operation of the deficit, and, above all, the want of a common cause on the part of the people, shewed that the government was inadequate to the resistance of a foreign enemy. The throne of a king totters from the moment he separates his own interests from those of his people!
The king of Sardinia, Victor Amadeus III. is the oldest monarch in Europe: he is now 70 years of age, for he was born June 26, 1726. While yet Duke of Savoy, he applied to the reform of the laws with a laudable industry, and actually promulgated a new code, which, like that of most other States, is more commendable in theory than in practice. The example given him by his father was not calculated to increase his natural humanity. Charles Emanuel III. who was what is termed a great warrior, on beholding a field of battle strewed with dead men and horses, exclaimed, Poveri Cavaleri! This was a phrase fit only for a king of the Hounyhynms!
His present majesty, in one thing, and in nearly all his subjects—differs essentially from his predecessor. The former was so economical, as to be accused of avarice; the latter is profuse to a proverb; being, like our own James I. addicted to show and dissipation. He has been known to create twenty Lords, or, as they are there termed, gentlemen of the bedchamber, in one week. His chamberlains, with leaden keys, nicely gilded, and suspended from empty pockets, are innumerable; there is not a court in Europe where there are more ribbands! It is impossible to cross the esplanade at Turin without jostling against a cross of St. Maurice. His majesty is also passionately attached to the military; and three fourths of his annual income has been constantly absorbed by the army. He has generals and colonels enough for manœuvring an army of one hundred thousand men. He also maintains skeleton regiments, but the skeletons consist of officers alone. The pay indeed is trifling; but then the uniforms are so very brilliant, it is impossible for an Italian count to resist the temptation of ruining himself, under so handsome a suit of regimentals.
His majesty, like his father, has perhaps exhibited too much partiality towards Piedmont. Savoy, the original appanage of the family, has been always treated with jealousy, and distrust; and as for Sardinia, which to the title of king adds the very unroyal revenue of a sum we not unfrequently behold at the bottom of the rent-roll of an English squire; it is become a place of exile for those banished from other States. The very officers and soldiers sent thither are often destined to that service, not as a duty, but as a punishment. Neither a Sardinian nor Savoyard is allowed to exercise any employment in the place of his nativity. After this, is it surprising that the one province is become a French department; that the other has been in open insurrection during the last twelve months; and that from neither of them does his majesty draw any more revenue at this moment, than from his ideal kingdom situated in the Holy Land!
The king's passion for military men has been already mentioned. This extends to minute objects, such as the cut of a coat, the colour of a facing, the form of an epaulet, and the shape of a button. In 1791, Victor Amadeus collected all the drummers in the kingdom, in the casernes, or barracks of Turin; and their branch of military music was carried, in consequence of this, to a higher pitch of perfection than it had ever attained before. This however will cease to appear wonderful, when it is observed, that his majesty, in person, superintended their progress daily; and that Pregnani, the best violin player in Italy, instructed the whole corps. The result was, that the drums of the capital of Piedmont excel, even to this very day, those of Vienna and Berlin; and that the leader of the band at the Opera house was dubbed a captain.
Regal sympathy, family connections, and large subsidies, have produced wonderful changes since the grand-reform of drums; and a great part of Piedmont is, at this moment, in the possession of the French, either as a pledge or a conquest! The king of Sardinia, imitating the customary policy of his ancestors, has already begun to treat with the conqueror; the citadel, the five impregnable bastions, the memory of the ineffectual siege of 1706, and, still more than any of these, the policy of humbling a formidable enemy will all operate in his favor; and after obtaining a portion of the Milanese, he may yet bully Genoa into loans, and Geneva into submission, like his illustrious progenitors of blessed memory.
THE PRINCE OF PIEDMONT.
Charles Emanuel Frederick Maria, is a most excellent prince, whose conduct might serve as a model to all the heirs apparent in Europe. The cardinal de Gardel, an enlightened clergyman, was his tutor; but he has preferred a layman for his confident. He has uniformly interfered, but always with the utmost deference and submission, in favour of the Sardinians and Savoyards. He has war, with equal uniformity, opposed the present Louis XVI. and it was he who, in a familiar conversation with his royal father, when speaking of the irresistible progress of opinions, exclaimed, "Ceux qui ont envie de regner, n'ont qu'a se depecher."
He never surveys the houses of Turin, cut down, Procrustes-like, to one common standard, without a sigh.
THE DUKE D'ROSTÉ
Resembles the king his father, who has carved a patrimony for him out of the prophecy of the church. This, in Italy, is termed, "paring the Pope's nails."
We preceded them at that sport, and our Henry VIII. brandished the scissars with wonderful dexterity.
THE DUKES DE MONTFERRAT, GANEVOIS, AND COUNT DE MAURIENNE.
These three princes were reckoned well educated, until the appearance of the duke d'Angouleme and his brother the duke of Berry, (the ci-devant count d'Artois, now Monsieur's son) at the court of Turin. The superiority of the French princes is said to have been at once visible and offensive, in respect to every thing, but the repetition of Anas Marias and Pater-nosters.
THE DUKE DE CMABLAIS, The king's half brother, dabbles in commerce; but any one who dated to term his royal highness a merchant, would be put in irons, and punished with the bastinado. He married his own niece, in the very same year, three marriages of citizens with brothers' daughters, were annulled in Piedmont; and the Pope excommunicated the parties from the apostolic chair. Sans argent, point de salut.
PRINCESSES. Adelaide Clotilda Xaviera de France, princess of Piedmont, loves her husband, and gained the affections of the people by learning Italian, which she speaks with fluency.
Maria Theresa of Austria, duchess of Aoste, is young, handsome, and attached to Germany.
Maria Anne Caroline Gabrielle de Savoy, the consort of the duke of Chablais, respects the duke infinitely; she still considers him as her uncle.
Marie Felicite, born 1760, and who, if she were not sister of a king, might be fairly termed an old maid—is likely to remain so.
She is the victim of the family pride of her father, who would marry her to none but a crowned head.
The monks have persuaded her that a nich in Paradise could alone be obtained by founding a convent.
Alas! her nieces, Marie Josepha Louisa, titular queen, and Maria Theresa, madame de France, by courtesy, are at this very moment in want of an asylum. To succour their distresses, would be more beneficent in the light of heaven, and more seemly in the eyes of men, than the endowment of a score of nunneries!
GEORGE-TOWN (Maryland) Sept. 13.
A letter from Philadelphia to a gentleman in
September 7, 1796.
Winchester, a considerable inland town of Virginia, is situated in the valley of the Shenandoah, so called from the river of the same name which unites its waters with those of the Potomac, just before it enters the passage, between the mountains. Jefferson has given a fine description of this picturesque scenery, which that passage exhibits. The direct road to Philadelphia, passes along this delightful valley, which extends to Lancaster, and of which Brissot in his travels through the United States, gave some account, though he did not visit it. By inclining a little to the left, you cross the mountain which bounds the valley to the W., and arrive at Bath, or the Warm Springs of Berkeley, 5 miles distant from the Potomac.
As this has become a place of fashionable resort, a short account of it may not be uninteresting. The situation is in a small valley, which extends nearly from S. to N. and is not more than three or four hundred yards wide. The distance from Alexandria, the Federal City, and Georgetown, is about 100 miles. The springs issue from the foot of the hill or mountain on the west, which is pretty high and steep—they form so considerable a stream as to turn a mill within a few rods. The water is perhaps something below the temperature of new milk. At first it is not generally relished as drink, but in a few days it is taken in quantities that are almost incredible. Every person repairs to the spring, where two boys are stationed, and hand tumblers of water with much expertness. There is a house with five convenient baths, which are filled from the spring by means of trunks. The water is easily let out, and thus fresh water is furnished to each company, or each individual.
The number of persons who frequent this place is ascertained, from a book in which each person's name is inserted upon arrival there, and one dollar is contributed and applied to keeping the Baths, &c. in repair, and ornamenting the adjacent ground with walls and trees. The principal spring is beneath the shade of two spreading oaks—Seats are provided and you see them occupied by groups of ladies and gentlemen, through most of the day when the weather is favorable. During the summer, from two to seven or eight hundred persons, visit Bath—they fell short of three hundred when I was there—but more were expected—they come from the tide waters of the Chesapeake, where intermittents prevail, from Alexandria, Georgetown, Baltimore, Philadelphia, &c. Persons with rheumatic and bilious complaints usually get relief if they live temperately. The surrounding country is rough and barren, with some fruitful spots interspersed, the salubrity of the air in the neighbourhood of the mountains, makes a few weeks residence here, beneficial to most persons in ill health.
The accommodations are as good as could be expected where many persons are crowded into a small village, of from fifteen to twenty houses. There are four or five good boarding houses—the price at present six dollars a week; some families take houses and provide for themselves. The mornings and evenings are cool at Bath, as the situation would lead you to conclude. It is excessively warm in the middle of the day, when the rays of the meridian sun fall directly upon the spot.
It is not invalids alone who frequent this place. In returning from Bath, it is often enquired, "who was the Belle this season?" Hymeneal treaties have often their preliminaries settled, or at least negotiations are commenced. They have balls pretty frequently; and parties occasionally dine at Hancock, a village on the banks of the Maryland side of the Potomac, not two miles distant from the Pennsylvania line.

The very rational amusement of gambling, may here be enjoyed in all its delightful variety. Persons have often the exquisite satisfaction, after passing two or three sleepless nights to find themselves disturbed of six, eight, ten, or twelve hundred dollars, according to a man's purse or resolution. The losers at times raise the cry of cheats, sharps, &c. There are to be sure no laws even in the Common-wealth of Virginia that compel a man to risk his money in this way; but the laws of custom, and the inebriating charms of play, bind, seduce, and lead captive.
Yours, &c.
PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1796.
Yesterday failed for France, Gen. Pinckney, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, to the French Republic, in the room of Mr. Monroe, who has been recalled.
The appointment of Gen. Pinckney to that important station must afford sincere pleasure to all those who are acquainted with his patriotic virtues and eminent abilities. While his decision of a most lucrative practice in the profession of the law, evinces his patriotism in sacrificing private advantages and domestic ease to the public good; the selection of such a fit character by the President, manifests his judicious, vigilant, and unceasing care of the public good.
The friends of American INDEPENDENCE, and of a cordial friendship with France, may now congratulate themselves, that at the same time that our minister will exert his best and sincerest endeavors to tighten the bonds of friendship between the two republics, on liberal and honorable principles, having a way manifested a lively interest for the French revolution, and a warm attachment to the nation, he will never lose sight of those national principles which have ever characterized him in his military and political career, and which will never suffer him to be either the dope of Foreign intrigues, or the tool of domestic faction.
A Commencement for conferring Degrees in the College of New-Jersey, is to be held at Princeton next Wednesday.
Mr. Chalmers has lately made his first appearance on the Boston Theatre, in the part of Vapid, in the Dramatist. In the Columbian Centinel it is said to have been "the most splendid display of Theatric talent ever witnessed by a Boston audience." It is generally allowed that in Puff, Vapid, Goldfinch, and many other characters in this line, Chalmers is without a rival.
A few days since a small brig was launched at Kensington, with all her masts, yards and spars standing, sails bent, &c. Having a considerable distance to run before she struck the water, the spectacle was rendered very pleasing. The novelty of the sight, attracted several hundred spectators.
One day last week, as a gunner near the middle ferry, was knocking the flint of his gun, laying over a rail, it went off and wounded a child who was passing the road, very dangerously; the charge being duck shot.
A French gentleman is in town, from New-York, who left St. Croix the 4th inst. He informs that he dined on board the Vengeance Cutter, belonging to Capt. Barney, the day before he left the Island. The Captain of the Cutter informed him, that he failed from Cadiz bay, in company with the French and Spanish fleets, on the fourth of August, and that he kept company with them two days.
A letter from St. Croix of the 4th inst. mentions that the Vengeance Cutter had arrived there with a very valuable prize.

SALEM, (Mass.) Sept. 20.
We are happy to see from the press, the sermon of the reverend E. Hubbard, of Marblehead, upon the death of colonel Orne. We know how false funeral panegyrics commonly are. But the modesty of our preacher could not be fit in the praise of a man, who was an honour to human nature. His
character has been drawn with that exactness, that we all loize the likeness, and, we must preserve for our children, this pious and affectionate testimony and respect for the deceased. We shall read it to men. To urge their virtues, we shall tell them to be good as colonel Orne, as diligent, as public spirited, and as sincere a friend to their country.
By a letter from Newbury-Port, from the health committee, on Saturday last, we are assured, that no person was then sick of a malignant fever, and the town was scarcely ever known to be in greater health.

From India—the latest.
By an arrival yesterday at Salem, in 115 days from Calcutta, papers were received to the 14th of May. In the following note, which accompanied the papers when forwarded to us, is a good summary of their contents.
Messrs. Young & Minns,
I herewith send you several Calcutta papers, this day received by the Ketch Eliza in 115 days passage. You will find in them, the conditions of the surrender of Colombo, in the Island of Ceylon, [which however exhibits nothing interesting to Americans;] An account of a fleet having failed a gainst the Spice islands; and information, that with a little coercion, the disputes between the company's troops had been put an end to.
To shew the great improvements made in the navigation of our country, it may not be amiss to inform the public, That the Ketch Eliza has performed two successive voyages to Calcutta, in less time than has heretofore been thought possible; and both these voyages entirely against the Monsoon having to beat into the bay of Bengal, and out in like manner, the season changing while she lay in Port. She had also to pass the Cape of Good Hope each voyage, on her return in the middle of winter. The first voyage was effected in 9 months and 14 days—the last, in 9 months and 6 days, including a stoppage at the Island of Bourbon.

BOSTON, September 21.
For the GENTINEL.
The public have before been informed of the capture of the brig Friendship, captain Smith, from Aux Cayes, for Baltimore. The following is the decree of the vice admiralty court at Halifax; and though apparently fair, is pronounced by captain Smith, to contain as much vice as could issue from any vice court in Bermuda.
Nova-Scotia, Court of } In the name of God. Amen. Vice Admiralty.
WE Richard Bulkeley, Esq. Judge and (L. S.) commissary of his majesty's court of vice-admiralty, for the province of Nova Scotia aforesaid, and the maritime parts thereof,
Having maturely considered the merits of a certain libel, exhibited to this court by Sampson Salter Blowers, Esq. his majesty's attorney-general and advocate in the said court, who prosecutes for and in behalf as well as of his majesty, as the honourable Alexander Foxcroft Cochran, captain and commander of his majesty's ship of war Thetis, and the other officers and crew of the said ship, and Henry Wemyss, Esq. captain and commander of his majesty's ship of war Prevoyante, and the other officers and crews of the said ships, respectively:—Wherein the said attorney-general, among other matters, alledges and sets forth:—
That the said Henry Wemyss and Alexander Foxcroft Cochran, being cruising in concert and together, in and with his majesty's said ships of war, under their respective commands as aforesaid, being part of the squadron under the command of vice-
admiral Murray, on the fourteenth day of July last, on the high seas, about three leagues to the eastward of Cape Henry, on the coast of North-America, they fell in with and seized as prize, a certain brigantine called the Friendship, of the burthen of one hundred and fifty-five tons, under the command of one Thomas Smith, and being loaded with a cargo on board, consisting of sugars, coffee, cotton, molasses and other merchandise, and having sent the same brigantine and cargo into the harbour of Halifax aforesaid, for adjudication.—And further stating, that the said brigantine Friendship, and all and singular the goods and merchandise, her cargo on board at the time of her seizure aforesaid, belonged to France, or to some person or persons being subjects of France, or inhabiting within some of the territories of France. And all the papers and writings found on board said ship, at the time of capture, having been read and considered, together with the claims filed in this cause, and the examinations taken in preparatory, under the standing interrogatories, and every other matter and thing requisite and necessary for a fair and impartial hearing and trial of the premises, having duly attended to, We do pronounce this our definitive sentence and decree thereon, as follows:—
We do order, adjudge and decree, all and singular, that part of the cargo on board said brigantine shipped by Edward Hall, and Denton, or either of them, as also the goods stated to be the property of Peter Boston, to be lawful prize to his majesty; and we do hereby condemn the same as such accordingly: and we do further adjudge and decree, That all and singular, that part of the cargo, claimed in behalf of Pettigill and Smith, together with that part of the cargo claimed by Thomas Smith, as his private adventure, and also the private adventure of the mate, and one of the other crew's adventure, and also that part of the cargo claimed in behalf of Seth Sanger, together with the said brigantine Friendship, her boats, stores, tackle, apparel, and furniture, to be restored, and delivered up to the claimants, they paying such costs in the premises, as may be taxed and allowed by this court. And we do order and decree, That all and singular the remainder of the cargo on board, be unloaded, from the said brigantine, and deposited in some safe and convenient warehouse, under the joint custody of the marshal of this court, or his deputy, and the collector and comptroller of his majesty's customs, and under the inspection of the agent for the captors and claimants, subject to our further order and decree thereon, or further proof of the property be produced, either on the part of the captors or claimants, or otherwise as the court may decree right and just on the premises.
Given under our hand, and the seal of the said court at Halifax, the 20th day of August, 1796, and in the 36th year of his Majesty's reign.
RICHARD BULKELY.
C. MORRIS, jun. D. Regifter.
A true copy.
On the above truly formal, and as it would appear from the caption, sacred State-Paper (which the aboriginals of our country very pointedly call Pawowawas ) the following observations may be made:—That that part of the cargo shipped by Hall and Denton, was bona fide the property of Stewart and Son, of Baltimore; and the following extracts from intercepted letters of Capt. Cochran to his agents Foreman and Graffie, will shew on what grounds it has been condemned—
"On board his Majesty's ship Thetis, at sea, August 6, 1796.
"On the 14th of last month, being in company with his Majesty's ship Prevoyante, we detained and sent into Halifax, the brig Friendship, of Newburyport, from Aux-Cayes, bound to Baltimore, laden with sugar, coffee, &c. &c. all of which is on freight, and the greatest part said to belong to Stewart and Sons, of Baltimore, who from being British subjects and trading with the enemies of Great-Britain, make their property liable to confiscation; this doctrine has been confirmed by the Lords of Appeal, in the case of the Schooner Robert, condemned at Bermuda, taken on her passage from Guadalupe, and belonging to Messrs. Pattersons, of Baltimore.
"I suspect that the remainder of the cargo is French property, covered or belonging to British subjects resident at Aux Cayes, which would equally make it attachable.
"The bearer will give you every particular information, which should be lodged in the Court of Admiralty, and a copy of that or any other you may procure, you will oblige me by forwarding to Bermuda."
Capt. Cochran then refers to certificates and informations enclosed in his letters, which are necessary to be communicated to the persons concerned only, and concludes—
"I beg you will communicate this, and the enclosed to Messrs. Blowers and Uniache. I hope soon to send you some certificates of consequence, and am, &c."
Extract from the information.
Denton and Hall, of Aux Cayes, the former English; Stewart and Sons, of Baltimore, are Scotch.
"The certificates to be produced in evidence, and the bearer to be most pointedly interrogated."
"One is Attorney-General, the other Solicitor-General."
"Mr. Sanger, of Baltimore, who had us the above, had on board the Friendship a considerable quantity of coffee proceeds of a copper bottom Schooner and cargo sold at Aux-Cayes. His property would have been condemned, he supposed, had he not arrived at Halifax, very opportunely, on the day of trial; the informers have given Capt. Cochran a false statement, on which the Solicitor-General did not fail to vociferate in a declamation of two hours and an half. Mr. Sanger is a native of Bolton, and committed no other misdemeanor, than to have parted with his Schooner for a price with which he was pleased."
PARIS, 19 Messidor (July 7.)
By letters from Strasbourg, we are assured, that General Wurmser, has ordered the army of Conde to march into Austrian Brigau, because he perceives the desperate condition of the emigrants,
who have nothing but death to hope for from our troops, and he thinks they but animate them. The same letter speaks of the army of Conde being fifteen or sixteen thousand strong, but we have never thought them more than eight or nine thousand.
Letters from the North, are filled with the extreme embarrassment of the Archduke Charles being obliged to abandon us part of his possessions near Dusseldorf, to return to the Upper Rhine, fearing to see Jourdan repass again that river, while he has been obliged to detach a part of his army to stop the progress of Moreau, all the plans of the Austrian generals are deranged.
July 14.
Extract of a letter from Hildesheim (Germany) dated 20th June.
"Fifteen thousand men of the combined army, for the defence of the line of neutrality, are arrived on the borders of the Weser, where they have already had an opportunity to prove their usefulness."
"A free corps of 500 men in British pay, and recruited at Pyrmont, wanted to pass the Weser; but the President of the Congress of this place has given notice to the commandant of the corps that he could not, reminding him of the articles of neutrality. The commandant desisting the advice of the President, began during the night, to embark his troops; before the embarkation was complete, a detachment of 5,000 men arrested the whole of the corps and disarmed them, after which they conducted them out of the territory by the order of the Congress."

To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE: And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri- vate 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 nett 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 funds for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the draw- ing, 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 a- mount 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 num- ber of their having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects 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 mere suspension indispensable.
