TO BE SOLD, A LEASE for from years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called PROSPECT-HILL, Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the source of that river to the Capes. This prospect is greatly embellished by a full view of a vast body of meadow, through which the Christians and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that his situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within seventy yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and convenience of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington. A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground, some Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale. Nov. 7.

From the CONNECTICUT COURANT.
Remarks on Adet's last address.
DURING the seventy years of war, with which New-England was so terribly scourged, the French supplied not only arms, but gospel missionaries to direct the use of them. Who taught their converts to believe, that Jesus Christ, the friend of poor Indians, was born of a French woman, and suffered death by the hands of Englishmen.—It was just as much the design of that preaching to do good to the Indians, as it was of the interference of France in '78 to do good to America.—Her sole object was to "divide and rule."
Many have long been deceived with regard to the latter part, as it respects this country; but France does not with them to be deceived any longer, and has thrown off the mask. Confident that victory in other countries, and corruption in this, have prepared the way; she avows the design of appointing for us a chief magistrate, and taking the government under her own control.—She did the same for Geneva; she has done the same for Holland; and claims a special right to do it for us, on the score of having saved us from Great-Britain, and made us what we are.
Other reasons are also assigned in the address. Particularly, that we have stopped quarreling with the British—for that is the amount of it. As to the suggestion that the treaty of London interferes with that of Versailles, or "grants commercial advantages to Great-Britain that are denied to France;" it is a sheer lie—and too easy of detection to have been told by a minister, but for the purpose of keeping blockheads in countenance who had told it before. No, the offence is that we have not gone to war, nor suffered to continue a quarrel, which would have kept us attached to France, and blind to her ambition.—She can now no longer trust us to prejudices; and therefore imposes shackles.
It is also among the allegations, that vessels claimed as prizes to French privateers, have in our ports been "liberated." They have so. 1. Where the vessel was American or neutral property. 2. Where it had been captured within our waters. 3. Where captured by a privateer fitted out within the United States. In those cases, and there has been no other, liberation was of right claimable from the jurisdiction of the country; and not opposed by treaty. If any lawyer has a doubt to the contrary, he will oblige the public by stating it.—But where French privateers legally fitted out and commissioned, have captured their enemies upon the high seas, and brought them into the ports of the United States, which is the safe provided for by the treaty; none have been liberated; nor have any been subjected to enquiry except under suspicious circumstances, upon a claim of their being within one of the three descriptions before stated; and then not a moment longer than was essential for the investigation of such claim. All which Adet knew perfectly well, as did every body else—but people in the back country, for whom doubtless this charge was intended. The suggestion on the other hand, that the government or the people connived at the fitting out of British privateers, or ever knew of any, merits no answer but that disgraceful one, that during the period alluded to, the French had a mob in every principal port, to screen their own villainy from justice, and to insult British merchantmen—some of which were burned.
So long as the French could induce Americans, as they did for two years at the southward, to fit out privateers under their commissions, and thereby enrage the British to retaliate upon us; things worked as they would have them. And it was the final disconcertion of that game by government, after it had tricked us out of millions, and prepared for us a war, that constitutes the real ground of offence on the subject of privateering—and renders it necessary to put the government into other hands.
Columns of reasons must remain untouched; instead of fabricating which, Adet would certainly have done better in copying after the King of Spain! When he, a few years ago, on principles of speculation, declared war against Great-Britain; he alleged in his manifesto, that the wrongs done him amounted to one hundred, but did not specify them.
As Bulls for dethroning princes used to begin and end with grace; so does this denunciation of wrath with love to the people—though coupled by the way, with hatred to the government. For Frenchmen to reconcile love to the people with hatred to that government whose acts are their will, with as much facility as Doct. Huntington divides the good from the bad at the day of judgment—by sending the old of sinners to hell, and the sinners to heaven.—As to this marvellous love, however, and its more marvellous requirement; the minister, speaking of the evil at hand, says, "the attachment which his government bears to the American PEOPLE, the vows which it forms for their prosperity, for their happiness—that very friendship renders it indispensable."—Yes, that very friendship renders the chastisement indispensable.—Gracious God! How long shall that impious directory usurp the prerogative of scourging nations for their own good?—But if it must be so, what is the good to be effected by this friendly chastisement of plunder and robbery?—The answer is deducible from the drift of the manifesto. And is plainly this, to usan us from the government and administrators of our own choice; and make us willing to be governed by such as France should think best for us—beginning with Jefferson.
In vain, my dear and devoted countrymen, have we bled and conquered—in vain have we dreamed of independence—if the neck must bow to the yoke at last. Nov. 30th. SENTINEL.
LONDON, October 5.
EMIGRATIONS to AMERICA.
Mr. Ralston, the Karmarnockshire farmer, took with him, above two years ago, four thousand guineas in gold, besides other property to a large amount. He has settled in Kentucky, upon a fertile and delightful spot of the country, where his knowledge in agriculture, cannot fail to turn out highly beneficial to America. Mr. Binny, letter-fornder, left Edinburgh last spring. His attachment to the cause of liberty,
procured him the enmity of the rulers of that city. A man may as well pretend to succeed in the laborious employment of Sisiphus, as to carry on business successfully, when the hand of power is opposed against him.
Mr. Binny intends to establish himself in Philadelphia, where, no doubt, he will reap the fruits of his industry and ingenuity.
Mr. James Donoon is settled in Philadelphia, as a bookseller, where he can carry on his trade without dread of imprisonment, or Botany-bay.
Mr. Ronaldson, of Edinburgh, who was a member of the British convention, failed from Leith in the spring of 1794, and has now established a very large baking concern in Philadelphia.
George Higgins, of pop-gun-plot memory, failed in the Diana, for Philadelphia, on the 19th of last month.
Citizen Lee, the bookseller, who made his escape, has likewise reached the hospitable shore of Columbia. He has begun business in Philadelphia, and is succeeding very well. He writes, that population increases fast, and that his own wife has lately added a female citizen to the republic.

M. de Kerguelen, who was turned out of the Royal Navy of France, for high misdemeanors, and some time ago obtained the rank of rear-admiral in the republican marine, has lately published, at Paris, a work entitled, Précis des Evénemens de la Guerre Maritime, depuis 1778, entre la France et d'Angleterre.—(Brief exposition of the events of the maritime power between France and England, which commenced in 1778.) In this publication we find the following article relative to the present state of the French navy:
"Our navy," says he, "which during the late war, balanced that of England, was, in 1789, composed of 80 ships of the line, completely equipped, of as many frigates and corvettes; and all our naval magazines and dock-yards were stocked with every article necessary for the maintenance and support of a great navy. But now, about 35 ships of the line have been either taken or destroyed; a great number of our frigates have likewise fallen into the hands of our enemies; all our naval magazines are empty; the captures we have made, the number of which amounts to upwards of 700 vessels, are partly dispatched; the seamen and sailors who made the captures, have hitherto scarcely obtained any part of the fruits of their gallantry and exertions. They have deserted the fleet in great numbers, thro' despair. Almost all our colonies, which should have been protected by our navy, are either disorganized or reduced by England. This is a true and exact statement of our navy, which before the revolution was powerful enough to balance that of our rivals, and is now almost entirely annihilated by them."
This picture, drawn by a man who cannot be suspected of any partiality in favor of Great-Britain, affords a strong reply to the opposition writers, who are daily asking, what are the advantages that Great-Britain has reaped from the present war? The annihilation of the navy of our rivals is not the only advantage we have obtained; but it is a very important one.
CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, December 12.
Mr. Ames, from the committee appointed to prepare an answer to the President's speech, reported an address, which was read, ordered to be committed to the whole house to-morrow, and in the mean time to be printed.
The speaker laid before the house a letter, inclosing sundry statements relative to the expenses of the war department, to the end of the year 1795, pursuant to a resolution of the house on the first of June last, which was read, and ordered to be printed.
A message was received from the senate, informing the house, that they had concurred in their resolution respecting the appointment of chaplains, and had chosen bishop White.
Mr. Dwight Foster, chairman of the committee of claims, reported, that on examining the unliquidated business which had been referred to that committee, they found many petitions upon which no report had been made, owing to the late period of the session at which they had been presented: they were therefore desirous, that the house should come to a resolution to the following effect:
"Resolved, that all claims which were, during the last session of Congress, referred to the committee of claims, and not by them reported upon, be, and the same are hereby referred to the committee of claims for their consideration, to report thereon, pursuant to the rules of this house." Agreed.
Mr. Madison presented a memorial from the commissioners appointed under the act respecting the fixing of the seat of government at the federal city, stating, that as the institution of a national university had been contemplated, and the President of the United States had appropriated land upon which to erect an edifice for that purpose, and given fifty shares in the Potomac river to the institution, and as they had no doubt but many other donations would be made towards carrying into effect so desirable an institution, were they properly authorized by Congress to receive them; they therefore pray, that Congress will pass such regulations as shall enable them to receive such legacies and donations as may be given towards effecting this institution.
This memorial was referred to a select committee of three members.
Mr. Swanwick presented a petition from Charles White, merchant of this city, praying for the remission of a forfeiture on account of the breach of revenue laws by the captain of the schooner Neptune, belonging to him, by secreting coffee on board the said schooner, and evading the duties payable thereon; stating, that the captain had defrauded him of 3000 dollars, besides 30 bags of coffee; being himself no great a sufferer, and wholly innocent, he trusted therefore for relief from Congress. Mr. Swanwick also presented a petition from Joseph Rittenhouse, merchant, a present confined in the debtors apartment in this city, at the suit of the United States. The petitioner states, that
Several petitions referred

251 he had surrendered the whole of his property among his general creditors, and had petitioned for his discharge, supposing his case to come within the act for the relief of persons imprisoned for debt; but finding it did not, he had no other resource than to petition Congress for relief.
Mr. Swanwick presented also a petition from Bartholomew Sarazen, praying for relief on account of loss sustained by the capture of his property by an armed vessel of the French republic, restitution for which he had not been able to obtain.
The first of these petitions was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures, and the two last to select committees of three members each.
Mr. Jackson, from Virginia, presented a petition for opening a new road in the vicinity of Mornington in Virginia. Referred to the post office and post road committee.
Mr. Bailey presented a petition for Rich. Champlion and Daniel Mattock, of Duchess, for a new licence to a schooner, which had been forfeited.—Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Williams moved that that part of the report of the committee of revisal and unfinished business which respected refugees from Nova-Scotia and Canada, should be referred to a committee of the whole house; which being agreed to, and made the order of the day for Thursday, he presented a petition from James Crawford, of Cambridge, a sufferer in Nova-Scotia during the war, for relief, which was referred to the same committee.
Mr. Williams moved that the house should proceed to the election of a chaplain; which being agreed to, Mr. Williams, nominated Dr. Green, and Mr. Jackson (V.) Dr. Priestley.
The ballot was proceeded upon, and being finished, Mr. Williams and Mr. Greenup were appointed a committee to count the ballots, which being done, Mr. Williams reported that the votes were
For Dr. Green, 35 Dr. Priestley, 27 Mr. Blair, 6
Whereupon Dr. Green was declared duly elected.
Mr. Griswold moved the order of the day on the bill for amending the act for a more general promulgation of the laws of the United States; which being agreed to, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole thereon, Mr. Muhlenberg in the chair, and having read the same, rose and reported the bill without amendment. The house took it up, agreed to it, and ordered the bill to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. Coit moved the order of the day on the report of the committee of claims on the petition of Henry Hill. The house formed itself into a committee of the whole, and the report was read. As this case is somewhat complex, to give the public as clear an idea of it as we are able, we give the report of the committee at length. It was in these words:
“ That on the 15th of February, 1783, a contract was made under the authority of the superintendent of finance, with John Banks, for supplying the southern army—and it was stipulated, among other things, that payment should be made in gold or silver, at Philadelphia. Banks's accounts were settled in 1783 and 1784, to the mutual satisfaction of him and the public officers; excepting so much as was contained in a charge of 9,768 81-90 dollars, including principal and interest, against Banks. This charge was made, and the sum retained, on the ground, that 8,612 24-90 principal, and 1,156 57-90 interest, was in Mr. Charles Pettit's hands, which he claimed on account of a claim he, as quarter-master, had against the United States, and the treasury officers claimed as monies deposited for John Banks, on account of the above contract, and that Mr. Pettit held the said sum for Banks
