Between several Young Ladies, on improving and interesting subjects. Translated from the Dutch of Madame de Cambon, with alterations and improvements. Printed on fine paper, and neatly bound. Price one Dollar.
AMIDST the tide of modern Romances, painting tales of extraordinary distress, or of desperate and artificial villainy, which "harrow up the soul," and which it would be for the honor of young ladies to be ignorant of, this little book comes forward to fortify notice, where in a variety of incidents, not exceeding the bounds of real life, the proper, becoming elegance and natural dignity and importance of the Female character is exhibited in an interesting point of view, and presents examples of real and attainable excellence.
The publisher was so much pleased with the perusal, that he was persuaded he should do a pleasing service to the community by sending it in a circulation. August 14—mwf4w

Observations on certain Documents Contained in No. V and VI of
"The History of the United States for the year 1796."
In which the charge of pecuniary fraud against ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Late SECRETARY of the TREASURY, is FULLY REFUTED.
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. This publication presents a concise statement of the false means practised by the Jacobins of the United States toasperse the characters of those persons who are considered as hostile to their disorganizing schemes. It also contains the correspondence between Mr. Hamilton and Messrs. Monroe, Muhlenburgh and Venable, on the subject of the documents aforesaid, and a series of letters from James Reynolds and his wife to Mr. Hamilton, proving beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the connection between him and Reynolds, was the result of a daring conspiracy on the part of the latter and his associates to extort money.
A discount of one third from the retail price will be made in favor of wholesale purchasers, for cash. Orders to be addressed to Mr. YOUNG. August 25.
The Norfolk Mail STAGE.
THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 7 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the 5th day, at Snowhill the second day, and at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk.
A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day.
The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 20 miles less than on any stage route between those places.
Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, to good a road in America.

Higgins' Specific FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF THE YELLOW FEVER. EVER since this disease made such ravages in this city and New-York, the author has turned his attention to its causes and cure. The result of his enquiries has convinced him that the reason why so few persons recover from its attacks, are from its not being well understood, and the consequent wrong method taken to cure it. He is persuaded that the excessive bleedings and mercurial treatment of the Faculty is highly injurious, and that the only rational mode of treatment is by the use of proper acids. Convinced of this he offers his Specific as a certain remedy, if used according to the directions. To be had in bottles, at one dollar each, of the Inventor Geo.

[FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD.] The Freehold Ambassador's Letter to the Secretary of State. Dated July 30, 1797. EPITOMIS'D AND VERSIFIED. [BY AN AMERICAN.] IF you with, honest Tim, for my gracious replies, Go fellow, and alter thy plan, Nor dare the blue light 'ning that gleams in both eyes, When you write unto ME as a MAN. I deign now to answer, your Office Epistle; At my answer, the Acorns shall rattle, And the Winds of my People, so loudly shall whistle, That their Chairs, all around shall make battle. I call not on you, Sir, to know, why displac'd, I should act like a Partizan self; Why, when no one accuses, I yet feel disgrac'd, —For I well know the reason myself. HIS principles, conduct and views too, I knew Would lead us a terrible dance; But true to the cause, that we PATRIOTS pursue, I receiv'd his Commission for France. In vain, Master Tim, may you preach of "his pleasure," "His pleasure" 's no pleasure to me; I married the Puff, 'tis my Freehold my Trea- ture, And it during my pleasure shall be. Come, "justify" then unto JEMMY M—OE, All the Acts of your administration, Ere I let loose on your "ground" the torrents of woe, And with water pots drown all the Nation. Perhaps some may think, that because I was sent I was thought a "machine" that would go, But my weights get washing, and my oil being spent, The Ambassador, turn'd to—M—OE. My employers despis'd, my employment forgot, The "Centinel" part I assum'd; And who dares to say, that the game Centry Cock Struts abroad, without tail or supplem'd? I allow of removal, in many small cases, But the heart of a Saint it would vex, That among the small fry remov'd from their places, Great EGO should turn an EX. I despise "Inuendoes" but beg leave to smell At a "door" in your office of wood, At which enter daily, the villains who tell, What, alas! I would do, if I cou'd. I would hold on my head, the great BUCKET of State, By nodding, the big best should fall, And fill should I keep out, a BOW to ADDET, Should scatter, and overthrow all. I now mean to close, by condemning all those, To hang on Liberty Tree, Fools, madmen and rogues, who foolishly cbofe, Then thought they could do without me. I will whimper, appeal, point UP to my defects, Over Liberties lost, I'll be sighing; And if nought's to be done, by flights and by flirts, I can only be laugh'd at for crying. And then—the deep thunder, shall mutter and moan, The round bellied world heave in birth, Stars, planets and suns, shall shrink at the groan, And a new little Scribble come forth. Norfolk, 26th August, 1797.

Having been favored by a Gentleman who came passenger on the Stage of Saturday evening, from New-York, with the New-York Daily Gazette of Saturday, 26th August, we have been induced to anticipate the publication of Monday's Gazette.
NEW-YORK, August 26. Yesterday we published London news up to the 24th of June, received by the British packet—This day we are enabled, by the arrival of the Severn, capt. Fairly, to bring up our chain of London Advices to the FIFTH of July, through the medium of Hull papers to July 8. The Extracts follow—They are fully
IMPORTANT. From the London Gazette. Downing-Street, July 1. The King having been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. Lord Malmesbury, Knight of the Bath, to be his majesty's Plenipotentiary for negotiating a Treaty of Peace with the Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic, duly authorized for this purpose, is Lordship set out yesterday for Lisle, where the Negotiations are to be forthwith opened. His majesty has also been pleased to appoint the Hon. Henry Wellesley, to be Secretary to the above mission.
EXECUTION OF PARKER, THE MUTINEER. On Friday, June 30, 1797. Friday morning, at 8 o'clock, A. M. a gun was fired on board his majesty's ship L. D. N., lying off the Garrison, Vice Admiral Lutwidge's flag-ship, and the yellow flag, the signal of capital punishment, was hoisted, which was immediately repeated by the Sandwich hoisting the same colour on her foretop. The Sandwich was stationed rather above Blackhakes, the headmost ship in the fleet. The Garrison, on the gun firing, were immediately under arms, consisting of the East and West York, West Norfolk Militia; a corps of invalids, and a train of artillery; all of which, with fixed bayonets, marched out of Sally-Port Gate, with their colours flying, and proceeded in single files, along the South shore of the Medway, near to Queenborough. In order to be spectators of the event—all the barrier gates of the garrison were now shut, and each ship in the fleet at this time kept a boat off with a Lieutenant and a party of marines to attend the Sandwich: the crews of all were piped to the forecastle, and the marines drawn up on the quarter-decks, to be witnesses of the execution. Parker, who had taken his usual repast in the birth allotted him in the gun-room, and passed the night in great composure, was awaked a little after 6 o'clock from a sound sleep, by the Marshal Provost, who with a file of marines, composed his guard; he arose with cheerfulness, and requested permission might be asked for a barber to attend him, which was granted: he soon dressed himself in a neat suit of mourning, (waistcoat excepted) sent him by a friend of the name of Templor, wearing his half boots over a pair of black silk stockings: he then took his breakfast, talked of a will he had written in which he had bequeathed his wife a little estate he said he was heir to; and after that, lamented the misfortune that had been bro't on the country by the mutiny, but solemnly denied having the least connection or correspondence with any disaffected persons on shore, and declared that it was chiefly owing to him that the ships had not been carried into the enemy's parts.
At half after 8, he was told the Chaplain of the ship was ready to attend him to prayers upon the quarter-deck, which he immediately ascended uncovered. At his first entrance upon deck, he looked a little paler than common, but soon recovered his usual complexion: he bowed to the officers, and a chair being allowed him, he sat down a few moments, and steadily surveyed the military array of marines under arms round the deck: he then arose and told the Clergyman he was ready to attend him; the Chaplain informed him he had selected two psalms appropriate to his situation; to which the prisoner assenting said, "and with your permission Sir I will add a third," and named the 51st, that beautiful confessional of David, and imploring of forgiveness, "Have mercy upon me O God, after thy goodness, according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences!" &c. He then recited each alternate verse, in a manner peculiarly impressive. At 9 o'clock the preparatory gun was fired from L'Espion, which he heard without the smallest emotion. Prayers being soon after closed, he rose and asked capt. Mofs "if he might be indulged with a glass of white wine?" which being immediately granted, lifting up his eyes, he exclaimed—"I drink first to the salvation of my soul!—and next to the forgiveness of all my enemies!" Addressing himself to capt. Mofs, he said "he hoped he would shake hands with him"; which the capt. did; he then desired "that he might be remembered to his companions on board the Neptune, with his last dying entreaty to them, to prepare for their destiny, and refrain from unbecoming levity!"—His arms being now bound, the solemn procession moved from the quarter deck to the forecastle, in the following order:
 1. The Boatswain and Mates.  2. The Provost Marshall; his sword in one hand, and the halter in the other.  3. Captain Clerk of the Sandwich, bearing the warrant of execution under the seal of the Vice Admiral.  At a Meeting of the Board of Property, June 6, 1797. Present John Hall, See'ry Francis Johnston, R. G. } of land office Dan. Broadhead, S. G. } Nicholas Bettinger, } Samuel Cunningham. } In this case the proof of service of notice being insufficient, it is ordered that notice be given in one of the Philadelphia and York newspapers weekly, for at least eight weeks to the heirs or assignees of Samuel Cunningham deceased, to attend the board on the first Monday in November next, to show cause why a patent should not issue to Nicholas Bettinger for the land in question. (A true Copy.) JOHN HALL, Secretary of the Land Office. Aug. 15. *18w8w. Act laying Duties on Stamped Vellum, Parchment and Paper. A FEW copies of the above act may be had at the Office of the Gazette of the United States, No 119, Chestnut-Street. July 19.
4. The Rev. Mr. Atherton, Chaplain of the Sandwich, in his robes. 5. The Prisoner in mourning, walking with a firm deportment. 6. The Ship's Master of Arms, with his drawn cutlass. 7. Captain Mofs and his officers, with two or three other gentlemen, who were admitted on board.
The whole passed through a double file of marines on the starboard side to the platform erected on the cat-head, with an elevated projection. Arriving there he knelt with the Chaplain, and joined in some devout ejaculations; to all of which, he repeated loudly "Amen!"—Rising again, the admiral's warrant of execution, addressed to Captain Mofs, was now read by the clerk, in which the sentence of the court martial. Order of the board, admiralty, and his majesty's approbation of the whole proceedings were fully recited, which the prisoner heard with great attention, and bowed his head, as if an assent, at the close of it.
He now asked the captain, "whether he might speak?" and immediately apprehended his intention might be misconceived, he added, "I am not going, Sir, to address the whole ship's company!—I will only to declare, that I acknowledge the justice of the sentence under which I suffer, and I hope my death may be deemed a sufficient atonement, and save the lives of others!"—He now requested a minute to recollect himself, and knelt down alone about that space of time: then rising up, "I am ready!"—and holding his head with considerable dignity, said to the Boatwain's Mate, "take off my handkerchief," (of black silk) which being done, the Marshal Provost placed the halter over his head (which had been prepared with grease), but doing it awkwardly, the prisoner said rather pettishly to the Boatwain's Mate, "Do you do it, for he seems to know nothing about it!" The halter was then placed to the reeved rope: all this being adjusted, the Marshal attempted to put a cap on, which he refused: but on being told it was indispensable, he submitted, requesting it might not be pulled over his eyes till he desired it: He then turned quite round, for the first time, and gave a steady look at his shipmates on the forecastle, and with an affectionate kind of smile nodded his head, and said, "Good by to you!" He now said "Captain Mofs, is the gun primed?" "It is." "Is the match light?" "All is ready." On this he advanced a little, and said, "Will any gentleman be so good as to lend me a white handkerchief for the signal?"
After some little pause, a gentleman stepped forward and gave him one; to whom bowing, he returned him thanks:—He now ascended the platform, repeated the same question about the gun, evidently to gain the time he wished for the perfect completion of what he had preconceived in his own mind, then the cap being drawn over his face, walked by firm degrees up to the extremity of the scaffold, he dropped his handkerchief, put his hands in his coat pockets with great rapidity, and at the moment as he was springing off, the fatal bow-gun fired, and the reeve-rope catching him, run him up, though not with great velocity to the yard arm!—When suspended about midway, by the elasticity of the rope, his body appeared convulsed for a few seconds, immediately after which no appearance of life remained.
It being tide of ebb, the starboard yard arm pointed to the isle of Grain, where scaffolding was erected for spectators on shore: a considerable number of yachts, cutters, and other craft surrounded the Sandwich: the last time the prisoner knelt with the Chaplain at the Cat head, though he made his responses regularly, his attention was particularly directed the whole time to the armed boats of the fleet, which were plying round on duty! The whole conduct of this awful ceremony was extremely decorous and impressive: it was evident, from the countenances of the crew of the Sandwich, that the general feeling for the fate of their mutinous conductor was such as might be wished; nor a word—and scarce a whisper was heard among them.
The instant he was visible to the garrison at the yard arm, the telegraph was put in motion to announce it to the admiralty; and from the clearness of the atmosphere and quickness of working, the advice must have been received in seven minutes.
He suffered exactly at half past nine, and was lowered down, after hanging at the yard arm a full hour, when the yellow flag was struck, and his body immediately put into a shell that had been prepared for it with all his clothes on: and soon after it was taken in one of the Sandwich's boats and rowed to the east point of the garrison, and there being landed, was carried to the New Naval Gate, leading to Minster.—The coffin-lid was here taken off to the spectators for a few minutes; his countenance appeared not much altered, but his eyes were wide open. His body was however afterwards taken up by his friends and bro't to London. It was on Sunday lying at a house in Rosemary-lane near the tower.
Parker was about thirty-three years of age, five feet ten inches high, and well made; his complexion, eyes and hair dark—his nose prominent, and his countenance expressive and manly. He had spent most of his life at sea.
Thursday last the wife of Parker presented a petition to the Earl of Moreton, to be delivered to the Queen, in favor of her unfortunate husband. Her deportment was becoming her unhappy situation. LONDON, July 2. In the sitting of the 12th June, Passetot called the attention of the council of 500 to the political situation of France and the United States of America. Adverting to the treaty of 1778, he professed himself unable to conceive how the Directory could issue the order of 2d March last, which was equivalent to a declaration of war—After showing that the Directory had the right of taking the first steps in a war, it belonged to the Legislative Body to examine and
confirm it. "What," said Passetot, "have been the acts of hostility which have provoked this order? I admit that the commercial treaty concluded in 1794, between Washington and the British administration may give rise to some suspicions respecting the United States; but these are not sufficient to justify a violation of the constitution." The orator concluded by moving for a message to the Directory, requiring an account of the political situation of France, considered in relation to the United States, and all orders of the Directory be sent to the committee appointed to consider how far the Legislative Body can annul the order of the Executive Body. These resolutions, with some alterations, as to the committee and the order of proceeding adopted and the speech of Passetot was ordered to be printed.
Late last night arrived the mail from Hamburg, due on Wednesday. The most important intelligence it brings is the official information that his Prussian Majesty, whose dissolution seems to be near at hand, has acknowledged the Batavian Republic.
Yesterday Capt. Collins arrived at the Duke of Portland's office with dispatches to government, from Governor Hunter at Botany Bay. The advices state the island to be in a very flourishing condition.
The blockade of Cadiz, by the fleet under the command of the Earl of St. Vincent, is the most complete and glorious a thing that the naval annals of this or any country can produce. For some weeks past the British fleet has been moored in a line of battle across the harbor of Cadiz, which contains about 56 sail of the Spanish line, the British fleet consisting only of 25. Our fleets also block up the French and Dutch fleets, in Brest and the Texel.
July 3. The preliminaries of peace offered by Buonaparte to the Venetians, contain 7 articles. They stipulate for the payment of 3,500,000 ducats in ready money; the free maintenance of the French troops till they shall leave the Venetian Territory: 3,000,000 livres in naval stores, six ships of the line, 40 pictures, the most valuable MSS. in the Library of St. Mark, and several statues.
Intelligence has arrived at the castle of Dublin, from Lieutenant General Dalrymple, that in consequence of the late proclamation, a discovery has been made of many soldiers in militia regiments having become engaged in the plots of the United Irishmen; in consequence whereof several have been apprehended.
The last dispatches from the Directory announced the arrival of the French commissioners at Lisle, and added that M. del Campo and M. Cabarrus were appointed to attend the conferences on the part of Spain, and that Commissioners were also named for the Batavian Republic. The Directory transmitted at the same time a proclamation of the municipality of Lisle, announcing the preparations for the Congress, by which it appears that they are to be received with the utmost pomp of military honor, and both the English and French commissaries to be constantly attended by a guard. The extreme civility of this pomp is perfectly intelligible. The French seem resolved that Lord Malmesbury shall have no intercourse with the country.—STAR.
Government received Dispatches yesterday from Rear Admiral Duncan, stating, that he was then at anchor within 2 leagues of the Dutch fleet in the Texel, which displayed 33 pendants; and that he had received unquestionable advice, that French and Dutch troops, to the amount of 75,000 men, were cantoned and encamped on that part of the coast a few days before; a considerable part of which had been embarked on board the transports.—The English admiral presses for an immediate reinforcement.
An article from Brussels, of the 25th of June, says, that by letters from the Hague, it appears that at the moment when the Batavian Republic expected to receive the news of the failing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel, with a numerous convoy of transports, filled with troops, arms, and ammunition, they were surprised to receive intelligence that that road was entirely blocked up by the English squadron under the orders of admiral Duncan. A cutter which went out to reconnoitre the number

the finances of the Republic, was still under discussion, and no resolution had been come to on the subject in the sitting of the 30th, the last of which we have any account.
We also received this morning Brussels papers to the 31st ult.
In an article from Vienna of the 18th ult. we find a speech attributed to Buonaparte, in which he says that he had no objection to the Milanese forming an independent republic; but that it was their business to consider how far they could defend themselves against the house of Austria. From this conversation it was conjectured, that the Court of Vienna would recover Milan; and what added to the supposition that the Milanese were desirous of returning to the subjection of the Emperor was, that four deputies from Milan had arrived at Vienna, where they had been well received by Baron Thugut, and had on the 12th an audience with the Emperor.
The Imperialist European of the 28th ult. contains the following article:
"We are this moment assured, that it is reported through different Swiss Cantons, that the negotiations of peace between France and the Emperor are broken off, and that hostilities are on the point of commencing."
"The Swiss, who appear to have been apprehensive that Buonaparte would march against their Cantons, have perhaps spread this report to quiet the uneasiness of the people; since they are sure that the threats of Buonaparte will be attended with no effect."
"What appears to give credit to this report is, the arrival of several Piedmontese agents in Switzerland, who purchase horses at any price for the cavalry of the King of Sardinia; it is, in fact more than probable that if the war with Austria commences, this Prince will be obliged to furnish the contingent which he has undertaken by the treaty to furnish. We are, however, disposed to believe that these horses are destined for some other purpose, and that this bad news will not be considered."
A letter from Dusseldorf of the 25th ult. (contained in the Brussels paper of the 29th) states, that an order had just been received there from the commander in chief of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, which excited general astonishment; the county of Berg is immediately to supply 500 men per day, or at the fortifications of Dusseldorf, a city itself is to supply 250; and 300appers are arrived to second the operations of the workmen. The object of a measure so extraordinary at a moment when every appearance promises a speedy and general peace, is anxiously enquired.
The French troops are making movements, the end of which it would be difficult to divine. We are indeed assured, that Gen. Le Febre is entrusted with a private expedition; but this assurance is merely founded on conjecture.
On the other hand it is remarked that the Austrian troops are assembling in force at Hapan.
The archduke Charles is daily expected at Frankfort, where it is said his royal highness will have a conference with general Hoche.—The duke of Wirtemberg has left Frankfort to Stuttgart.
The keel of a new ship of 98 guns, is ordered immediately to be laid down in the king's dock-yard at Chatham, to be called the Europe. She will be constructed wholly of English oak, which has been some time collecting, and from a model on the largest scale and newest improvements of naval architecture.
Orders are gone down to the Plymouth marine barracks, from the admiralty for three of the marines lately tried for a conspiracy to murder their officers, to be shot—the fourth who was tried is to receive a thousand lashes, and to be transported to New South Wales.
The mutineers of the Inflexible now in custody, are, we hear, to be the next to be tried by the court martial, on board the Neptune.
The negotiation for peace, on which the happiness of millions depends, has certainly, ere this time, commenced. Lord Malmesbury and his suite sailed on Monday afternoon from Dover; and he was expected to reach Lisle yesterday.
The Directory have given orders that the reception of the English Negotiation shall be as flattering and solid as if Le fourneur arrived at Lisle on the 27th ult and the Marquis Del Campo and M. Cabanous have also proceeded to the place of Negotiation to attend the interests of Spain—Oracles.
It is remarkable that Packer, after his sentence was seized with a sort of literary mania. He requested to be supplied with the Bible, Dodson Death, Sherlock on do. & Tillotson's Sermons, amounting only to about 160s!
Tom Paine, Hamilton Rowan, and Naper Tandy are all in Paris. Surely such a combination of men were enough to overpower even the five Kings. It is very fortunate that they are not at Lisle to blow up the Negotiation.
The French Revolution, it seems, making the Tour of China, and certain pro-iners of Turkey, according to French accounts, which gravely remark that it seems as if the end of the world is approaching." According to this philosophy, the end of the world is the beginning of that which they call Freedom, and the Republic of the people must be born only to die!
AFFAIRS OF IRELAND.
The last accounts from Ireland are certainly of an alarming nature, in as much as they show that the ratifications of the confederacy distinguished by the name of United Irishmen, are in reality infinitely more extensive than even the reports of the two houses of Parliament in Ireland on this subject had taught us to believe.
From these reports we were induced to think the conspiracy was confined, or nearly so, to the province of Ulster; we find now, however, that it has travelled to the other extremities of the kingdom, and gained numerous proselytes both in the south & the west.
The discovery made in the camp at Bandon, in the county of Cork, has but too
clearly established the melancholy truth, and opened a gloomy perspective to those who contemplate the political situation of affairs in Ireland.
The plan laid by the conspirators affords the greatest ground for alarm, as it was not a sudden elusion of discontent or ill will, but a cool deliberate design; every part of which denotes system, reflection, combination, and talents. In a word, every thing was conducted with so much secrecy, and every precaution which was necessary to the success of a great and dangerous enterprise, was so well taken, that had not an accomplice, either from remorse of conscience, or hope of reward, betrayed his associates and revealed the plot, the consequence must have been such as would have made humanity shudder, and perhaps have in a high degree endangered the interest of the British empire.
In the camp at Bandon were stationed his majesty's 30th regiment of foot, a battalion of militia, attached to it, and the county of Leitrim regiment of militia, making in the whole 1500 men.
At no very great distance from this camp are two others in the same county, (Cork) one of which is at Ratnasmuck. A communication was opened between the privates of the militia stationed in all here, and a regular plan of operations was digested by them, for counteracting those pursued by government in the North; for the extirpation of the principles that bound together the members of the society of United Irishmen.
The only part of the plan which has yet transpired, is this, that on the 1st day of this month, an hour agreed upon, the men were to rise in all the three camps, put their officers to death together, with the regulars who should oppose them, and make themselves masters of all the stores, ammunition, arms and artillery. This being effected, they were to raise the standard of United Irishmen, and invite all the friends of their cause in every part of the kingdom to repair to it. The 30th regiment in particular, it is said, was marked out for destruction, on account of the steady loyalty they had displayed in seconding the measures of government for disarming and apprehending United Irishmen. We have heard, however, that the massacre was not to have been extended beyond the commissioned and non commissioned officers.
This plot, as our readers already know, was discovered by a private of the Dublin militia; and in consequence of his information, between 30 and 40 soldiers of the Bandon camp were secured, who were described as the ringleaders, or most active agents in the business, as were also some of the country people, who were represented as having been the means of communication between the different camps.
The extent of the conspiracy greatly alarmed government—it was resolved, after some deliberation that a pardon should be granted to all the conspirators who were not then in custody, on condition that they abjured the principles of United Irishmen, and took anew the oath of allegiance to his majesty.
On this occasion Gen. Dalrymple, who officially made the offer of pardon, saw whole companies advance in body to avail themselves of the offer; thus proclaiming, by their abjuration, that they were, or at least had been United Irishmen.
If any man thinks that the mischief is at an end, and that this new security, taken for their allegiance, is a firm pledge of their future loyalty, and of the public tranquility, he must be credulous to a most unpardonable degree—for what reliance can be placed on the oaths of men, who have already broke the most sacred and solemn engagements?—Not to say any thing of their engagements, confirmed by oath to the society of United Irishmen, they could not have entered into the conspiracy which has been so lately detected and defeated, without a deliberate breach of the oath of allegiance which they took at the time they were enlisted or embodied. Surely the repeated breaches of the most sacred obligations, cannot afford a rational ground for hope, that those who have hitherto disregarded and trampled upon oaths, will in future be religious observers of them. Those who are capable of entertaining such a hope, are not qualified for the office of statesmen.
Oaths never have been, and never will be, as binding on the multitude as self-interest . Make it the interest of men to be true to you, and you need not think of exacting an oath of fidelity from them.
This system must at last be pursued with respect to Ireland. The government of that country must undergo a very considerable change, before any reasonable hope or lasting tranquility can be entertained.—Neither England nor Ireland can afford to keep a large army constantly on foot in the latter kingdom; and if it be the pressure of military force that alone keeps down the spirit of insurrection, we may naturally expect it will rise when that pressure is withdrawn.
Away then with force; let the government be established where alone it ought to stand for the hearts and affections of the people; and should one turbulent and seditious man then presume to disturb the tranquility of the country, twenty of his neighbours would appear to secure and bring him to condign punishment.
Far as the present session of parliament is advanced in Ireland, as well as here, some steps ought to be taken before the recess, for tranquilizing that distracted kingdom; and the preliminary step should be, a change of the lord lieutenant and his advisers.
PARIS, July 1.
The executive directory sent a day or two ago to the minister of police, to know if it was true that there existed clubs in different quarters of Paris. Cochoin returned for answer, that he was already in the knowledge of the existence of more
than fifty, and that new ones were every day forming. They add, that the directory, after deliberating a quarter of an hour, called in the minister again, and gave him directions to redouble his vigilance, because the directory could not suffer any anarchical clubs.
Nothing could be more wise than this determination; but so vague an order must rather puzzle than enlighten the minister of police, since anarchy may be brought about in a variety of ways. The jacobins are endeavoring to introduce it; the royalists are at work at it; and the ambitious dream of it. Each party hopes to find his account in it, although it has hitherto only proved their graves. It is almost in the essence of clubs to lead to anarchy, because every great assembly of men has a tendency to acquire dominion, and because the powers which they assume to themselves, is stolen from that which should belong to the legislative body. Clubs may for a moment assist government, but they ultimately make it pay dear for the aid which they lend it by the yoke which they impose on it.
Besides, how can the directory hinder one party from holding clubs, if it gives permission to another? We now hear of jacobin clubs, directorial clubs, and revolutionary clubs; they will not it is true, give themselves these titles, but they will have the same tendency and the same objects in view. The only method of preventing this, is to pass, according to the spirit of the constitution, a law which shall put an end to them altogether.
It is thought that the directory, by giving Hedouville the chief command of St. Domingo, intend to give gen. Rochambeau the superintendence of the Spanish part which has been ceded to us.
Maret, the plenipotentiary, who had remained behind at Paris, set off for Lisle yesterday.
We are assured, that the majority of the directory are sensible of the necessity of agreeing with the legislative body, in order to prevent a rupture dangerous to all parties, to strengthen the cause of the sincere friends to the constitution, and to bring about a union which is at present so necessary for resistance to attacks of all factions.
The minister for foreign affairs has just published a bull of the Pope, enjoining all French priests to submit to the laws of the republic—Will the voice of his holiness be as effectual in calming the tempest as it has been in raising it?
A vessel which has put into Brest, met fifteen English ships of war in the narrow seas.
Letters from the Hague, dated on the 23d ult. mention that Mr. Adams, the resident of the United States of America there, was about to return, and that Mr. Murray was appointed to succeed him. Admiral Lucas died on the 10th, aged 50, at the time they were preparing to enter on an examination of his conduct relative to the surrender of his squadron at the Cape. Some of the Dutch Journals have published the secret instructions which were given to the admiral. These are dated on the 10th of November, 1795; the admiral did not fail till the February following, yet no change was made in these instructions, although in the interval, intelligence had been received of the English having made themselves masters of the Cape.
Letters from Germany mention, that the Hessians had attempted to pass the line of demarcation, and the French had opposed it; in consequence of which, a bloody battle had taken place between the two parties.
A private letter from Milan announces the death of the Pope; and adds, that the King of Naples had sent a division of his army to penetrate into the ecclesiastical state. Buonaparte had detached a division of his army to oppose it. The little probability which there is in the latter part of the intelligence, gives us reason to entertain doubts as to the former part.
Asifed Ali Asfendi, the Ottoman ambassador, having completed his Quarantine, made his public entry into Marseilles on the 17th ult.—The cannons were fired on the occasion.
Letters from Milan, of the 12th ult. mention that the Definitive Treaty of Peace between Austria and France, was signed on the 31st May, at Montebello, by the Marquis di Gallo and Count Meerfeldt, on the one side, and Generals Buonaparte and Clark, of the other; after which Count Meerfeldt set off for Vienna. It is thought that in consequence of an arrangement agreed on between the Plenipotentiaries, that 25,000 Austrians have left the Tyrol for Bavaria,
which it is known, has long been coveted by the House of Austria. The length of time occupied by the secret negotiations between the Cabinet of Vienna and the French government, gave rise to some uneasiness; but it is said that the Emperor is certain of being amply indemnified for the cession of the Low Countries and of Lombardy, by possessions nearer home, and which will render the House of Austria more powerful and more formidable than ever. It is in Italy that the most important affairs of Europe are conducted with secrecy; that the fate of governments is disposed of; that new republics are created and destroyed, are mingled and divided again, and their constitutions, governments, &c. determined on. It is there that the House of Austria, having taken up arms to destroy the French Republic has found means to employ its troops in effecting its ambitious designs.
We are assured that the Directory has nominated as Minister for Foreign Affairs, Talleyrand Perigord, the ex-constituent; as minister of the Marine, L. Hoche, the ex-minister of the republic at the court of Berlin; and as minister of Justice, Desmuniers, the ex-constituent. It is added, that the Directory will keep Ramel as Minister of Finance.

Scotch Presbyterian. There have been no deaths in this congregation for the last five weeks. Seceders. We were not able to obtain a list of the burials in this ground.

Moravians. None.  Baptists. None.  Methodists. None.  Jews. None.  Potter's Field. 3 Children. City Hospital. 1 Grown person.  Total for the last 24 hours. 14 
N. B. The Swedish corporation grants interment to strangers more extensively than several other congregations; and as many are brought from distant parts of the city and suburbs, the number of burials generally has the appearance of greater mortality than what is really in their own congregation.

FAYETTEVILLE, August 12. On Wednesday last a public dinner was given by the inhabitants of Fayetteville, to the honorable William Barry Grove, the representative in congress, from Fayetteville district, at colonel Dekeyler's hotel, and the following address delivered: To the honorable WILLIAM B. GROVE:
SIR, THE inhabitants of Fayetteville at all times experience much pleasure on your return amongst them, after the discharge of your duties as their representative: In that discharge we have been ever ready to express our approbation by the most unequivocal marks of our regard for your public and private character.
We are sensible, Sir, that with us you must have strongly experienced the most painful sensations on the momentous questions lately agitated in congress; but in cases of such doubt and difficulty, you were left to the independent exercise of your own judgment; your use of which, has in every instance heightened our confidence.
With that deference we ought to pay in matters of politics, to the opinion of others our fellow-citizens—be assured, Sir, we accord with those represented by you, at the late session of congress.
To which Mr. Grove replied: Accept, friends and fellow-citizens, the sincere thanks of a heart glowing with gratitude, for this new evidence of your friendly attachment and regard.
Your approbation of my conduct in congress, gives me reasonable hope, that that conduct is not displeasing to my constituents in general.
With you I have indeed felt painful anxieties on some of the momentous subjects lately agitated in congress; on my part those sensations were increased, from the reflection that I was responsible to my country and constituents for all my public acts, and to exercise my judgment for the public good, has ever been the object of my earnest wish.—To merit the continuance of your confidence and regard, will be my greatest reward; and in every situation it is my desire to avoid becoming the tool of party, the promoter of faction, or the friend of anarchy. W. B. GROVE.
After dinner the following toasts were drank:
 1. The United States.  2. General Washington.  3. The President of the United States.  4. The state of North-Carolina.  5. The Executive of the state.  6. The memory of those heroes who fell in defence of our liberties.  7. Our commissioners to the French republic—success to their embassy.  8. The American revolution of 1776—may all revolutions like it, originate in necessity; be conducted with ardor, and terminate in liberty and peace.  9. American independence—may it never be shaken by foreign influence.  10. Sharp measures to Blount traitors.  11. The Marquis La Fayette.  12. Patriotism without party.  13. Judge Iredell—may the scales and the sword of justice, never be influenced by a Cabal .  14. The agriculture and commerce of the United States.  15. The freedom of the Press—may it never be disgraced by licentiousness.  16. The American Fair.  17. The day passed much to the satisfaction of every person present.

THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough insinuates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, to that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mondays. WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its route from Philadelphia.

From the Otsego Herald. CAUTION. WHEREAS a combination of men in this county have undertaken to enrich themselves, by fabricating titles to sundry valuable tracts of land, the property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which tracts of land large sums of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers. It is therefore just that public information should be given, to the end, that the injured may seek redress while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Truman Harrison, Joseph Witscomb, said now to reside in the county of Saratoga; Thomas Kelly and several others who go under fictitious names. It is supposed that the lands offered for sale on those fabricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have actual knowledge of are as follows: Lots No. 11 and 12, Otsego patent, thousand acres each, the actual property of William Dellwyn, now of London; lots No. 58 and 64, same patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill and others, of this State. There is some ground to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management. The Printers will do well to give this place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing those lands, as also to deprive those men in future from imposing on individuals, which their education and address have enabled them to do heretofore. Witscomb has been a shopkeeper of some note in this country. The following affidavits will set in a clear point of view the wickedness of those men, when the public have perused, will induce them to execute the interference of Wm. COOPER. Otsego, July 28th, 1797. I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otsego, having been led into an error, by John Witscomb and Truman Harrison, of the same County, to sign a deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otsego patent, which was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr. Chaumont's and others; and further the said Joseph and Truman did persuade me to do this against my inclination, which was made out on the 10th day of November, 1793, or set back two years so as to bring it to that time; and further the name of Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious name, there being no such person there. To this I make voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY. 19th July, 1797. On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before me, Thomas Kelly, the subscriber to the above affidavit, and made solemn oath that it contains nothing but the truth. ELIHU PHINNEY, Justice of the Peace. On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob Kibby, a person by me well known and worthy of good credit, who on his solemn oath did say, that two of the parties abovenamed did make application to him this deponent, some time in the winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two thousand acres of land in the Otsego patent, and promised this deponent a share of the profits, on the sale of said lands, for his so doing; and that they made application several times for the same purpose, which services this deponent as often refused, declaring to them that he had no right to lands, and could do no such thing; which during attempt on this deponent's integrity he had related among his friends several times, previous to making this affidavit.

Thirty Dollars Reward. ELOPED from the service of the subscriber, on the 19th instant, a negro man by the name of DICK, about twenty-five years of age, and five feet nine or ten inches high; by trade a carpenter, and is a very lively brisk workman. His countenance is very good—When spoken to, he converses with ease and confidence, and is pretty garrulous. I purchased the said fellow of Mr. Dubney Minor, in whose name he has been advertised in the Richmond newspapers. During his last runaway trip (last summer) he was employed a considerable length of time, by some person near Dumfries, from which circumstance, I conjecture, he has taken another northern route. I forewarn all persons from giving him employment, of any kind whatever, and masters of vessels and others, from carrying him out of this State. The above reward will be given if he is taken within forty miles of this city; and an additional sum, in proportion to the distance he may be brought, or the trouble and expense the apprehender may be at, in bringing him to this place.

THE SUBSCRIBER having been appointed by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty, General Agent for affixing British creditors, and such particular agents as they may specially authorize, in prosecuting their claims before the commissioners for carrying into effect the sixth article of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, hereby gives notice that he has opened his office at his house the fourth east corner of Chestnut and fifth Streets, Philadelphia, where he is ready to receive all claims or instructions for claims with the vouchers and documents thereof, for the purpose of bringing forward the same agreeably to the rules and orders which the board may think proper to prescribe. And as it will be for the interest of all concerned, that the several claims be so stated, and supported, as to prevent the delay which would arise from the necessity of obtaining further information, or additional materials, from persons residing at a distance, the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the direction chiefly of those, who, not having employed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of their claims to his charge and management) that all such claims ought in particular to set forth: 1st. The proper description and situation of the creditor or claimant, and original debtor, respectively. 2d. The date and nature of the original contract or debt. 3d. When, in what manner, and to what extent, the creditor or claimant was prevented or impeded, by the provision, operation or defect of law, the decisions and practice of courts, or restraint of execution, from recovering payment of the debt in question. 4th. The loss and damage incurred or sustained, in consequence of such impediments, whether the same may have arisen from the insolvency, change of situation, or death of the debtor, the loss of legal remedy from lapse of time, or other causes impairing the value and security of the debt, which would not have been operated if such impediments had not existed. And 5th. The particular grounds and reasons on which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the treaty, that "by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, the creditor cannot now obtain and actually have and receive full and adequate compensation" for the losses and damages so sustained. The general agent thinks it his duty further to suggest that the several claims ought to be accompanied and supported by the affidavits of the claimants duly sworn and regularly attested, both as to the existence of the debt claimed, and such other circumstances as may be within their own knowledge respectively. And whenever the claimant in stating the nature of their evidence (which must in every instance be the best of which the case is capable) have occasion to refer to the testimony of witnesses, it will be proper to apprise the general agent of the names and places of residence of such witnesses and the facts to be elicited by their testimony.
