Is there an American, young or old, not interested in the History of the first Rise and Progress of his native Country, and from so celebrated a pen as that of Doctor Robertson? Just Published, AND TO BE SOLD BY JAMES HUMPHREYS, No. 59, fourth Third Street, opposite the Bank of the United States, (Price one dollar neatly bound and lettered, in boards, six shillings) Dr. Robertson's History of (BRITISH) AMERICA, Containing The history of Virginia to the year 1685, and the history of New-England to the year 1652, being what the Doctor had completed previous to his death. It has lately been given to the public with a preface by his son at Edinburgh, has already passed through three or four editions, and has been translated and published in French at Paris. Mr. Robertson in his preface observes, "During the course of tedious illness, which he early foreknew would have a fatal termination, Dr. Robertson at different times destroyed many of his papers: But after his death, I found that part of the History of (British) America which he had written many years before, and which is now offered to the public. It is written with his own hand as all his works were; it is as carefully corrected as any part of his manuscripts which I have ever seen; and he had thought it worthy of being preserved, as it escaped the flames to which so many other papers had been committed. I read it with the utmost attention; but, before I came to any resolution about the publication, I put the MSS. into the hands of some of those friends whom my father used to consult on such occasions, as it would have been rashness and presumption in me, to have trusted to my own partial decision. It was perused by some other persons also, in whose taste and judgment I have the greatest confidence: by all of them it was encouraged to offer it to the public, as curious and interesting in itself, and not inferior to any of my father's other works." The Editor of the Pan Edition apostrophizes the above work in the following manner. "Every thing ensures success to this volume the talents and reputation of the author, and the impression still recent in the minds of all who have read the excellent work of which this is the completion—all conspire to give it an extensive spread. The history of America was the master-piece of one of the two ablest, or rather one of the two only modern historians. He has created this part of history, distinguished this chaos of the New World, distinguished with the hand of a master the part of genius, fortune, courage and crime, and conquered as it were, America, for literary, commercial, and political Europe. To ensure this last volume circulation, it is necessary only to name its author, and to remark, it possesses all that acumen of observation, that perspicuity of exposition, the art of referring effects to causes, and of mingling with the account of events, the wholesome and most approved principles of morals and politics, for which this writer was so eminently conspicuous. In short, that it exhibits the talents of ROBERTSON." jan. 19.

TO THE Promoters of Literature. THE managers of the Beula Seminary, implied by notices of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient build- ing for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science - do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hun- dred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The bal- lot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold. The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have re- solved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical ap- paratus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot. It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than dou- ble the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, pro- duce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, accord- ing to the present proposals, the sum ob- tained for them will be only 7,000 dollars. Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rhea, president of the board of managers, no. 177, South Second-Street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building. It is intended to be of brick or stone; its situation on the summit of a gradual rising eminence, commanding an ex- tensive prospect of the surrounding country; an observatory to be on its top. Land and out lots in the vicinity of the Town may be had on moderate terms by ap- plying as above. Mechanics and laborers, of good morals will meet with encourage- ment. jan. 19. 32w2m

From a London Paper. POPULAR RISING IN BELGIUM. The following is an extract of a letter from Brussels, dated October 22. "The political situation of ci-devant Bel- gium becomes every day more alarming, on account of the execution of the law for rais- ing, by conscription, two hundred thousand men. A very lively agitation now manifests itself in all Campine, as far as Louvain, where libels are circulated, ending with these words, "Long live the emperor and his allies," and exhorting the people to re- volt. Authorities are neither bold enough or willing to proclaim the law, or put it in execution. A great number of them have resigned, to avoid the fate of the agents of the Canton, some of whom had been killed and others wounded. Of the National Guards, too, several have lost their lives." "Whilst things are in this state here, they have assumed a much more serious complexion in another part of our depart- ments: an insurrection has broken out with great violence in the county of Waas, and has extended itself as far as Antwerp. The rebel has been founded for three days suc- cessively, in the numerous villages scattered over that fertile country, and near 4000 men have assembled in arms, with some pieces of artillery, and commanded, they say, by experienced chiefs. Several sharp encounters have taken place between them and the French troops from the neighboring garrisons, the event of which is not yet fa- tally known. The following is the account given by general Begois to the central administration of our department, in a dispatch yesterday published at the Deca- dry Temple: "I hasten to announce to you the entire defeat of the rebels in the department of the Scheldt. Their number, though very considerable could not with- stand the republicans who marched against them, although not more than one tenth. In the different encounters they had about 300 killed; and search is now making for those who escaped." This insurrection, for which the conscrip- tion has been the pretext, is part of a very widely extended plot. For some time inflam- matory placards have been disseminated every where. The attack of an important post on the Scheldt, is a proof of its existence. It has been ascertained, that the English thought to profit by these revolts on the coasts, to effect a descent, but all attempts have proved abortive, and will be always guarded against. We have had some brave defenders wounded, but none killed." We do not yet know the important post on the Scheldt alluded to; but it seems the fugi- tives have thrown themselves into the woods and that a great many manufacturers from Antwerp are gone to increase their number. We have remarked also, of late, that several light English vessels, detached from the divi- sion cruising at the entrance of the Scheldt have entered that river, which may have supplied the insurgents with arms. We ex- pect here a detachment of troops from the banks of the Rhine."
Gen. Begois issued at Mecklin the fol- lowing proclamation: "Citizens, the sacred tree of liberty has been cut down, the tri-co- lored standard has been torn, the prisons have been opened, the asylum of the law has been violated, and the public acts and registers have been burned; Republicans have been murdered, and the dreadful scenes have been acted under your eyes. Yet they who have thus trampled under foot the laws of the French Republic, are inhabitants of Belgium. Whatever may be their ill-judg- ed project, and whoever may be their artful agents, I hereby declare the city of Malines in a state of siege, in order to prevent the progress of this horrid insurrection, and to protect the peaceable inhabitants against violence and oppression." Also invite all good citizens to remain in their houses after the tattoo has been beat- en, at least not to go without a lantern."

We translate the following from a French paper entitled Le Clairvoyant, of the first Vendemiaire, (Sept. )
"It appears most probable that the precipitation of the United States will render useless the amicable dispositions of the French republic towards that country, and that because they will not understand us, or rather because they refuse to listen to us. At least this is the opinion we form from reading the following article, which we transcribe from the Redacteur of this day."
Answer to the following questions inserted in some of the newspapers."
Has France an Army which she can send to invade the United States? Or has she a Navy which she can send there?
"The Americans, resolving upon war with the French republic, annual in consequence, the treaty of 1778. They again become, with respect to France, what they were before that period, an English colony. The republic must, then, consider Americans as English; and, as such, their flag merits no respect; they become enemies; the right ought to be given to all French privateers to capture their vessels, and their future fate ought to be bound to that of Great-Britain, in the issue of the present war."
"Suppose that England, from a power of the first order, should become, what she ought to be, a power of the second rank, will not the French republic, in maintaining the liberty of the sea, have the power to say to Americans, "Your vessels may be employed in coasting from one federal port to another; but the American flag cannot be permitted to fly on the European seas; you shall receive from European nations the merchandise of which you stand in need. When a nation is guilty of ingratitude, it merits no consideration; and we ought the less to count on your repenting, since your fathers, born pirates, being originally English, have transferred to you their spirit of injustice."
"I know not what the citizens of the United States hope, even if they have the greatest success; but this cannot be contested, that if the English, their instigators, are unable to succour them, the French republic will have in her power to deprive them of the rights which her generosity, her blood, and her gold gave them, and which have served only to prove to what extent their ingratitude could be carried."
[Claypoole.]
From an English paper.
A verbose, ambiguous, and elaborately confused apology has been published by the French Minister, Talleyrand Perigord, which seems to fix the charge of corruption more strongly on himself and his masters, than even the testimony of the American Ministers. It was easy to conjecture, that the only subterfuge of which he could avail himself was a disavowal of his anonymous agents. Yet even this, he has not directly, plainly, and positively done. In the whole course of his involved and tedious defence, and with the impunity of which he was assured for every falsehood he could utter, he had not once ventured in plain unequivocal language, to deny that those persons who made corrupt proposals to the American Ministers, were his confidential agents. In the midst of all his whining, bullying, and snuffling, there is not one simple downright denial of guilt. The affair of the Dutch Inscriptions is avowed. All his compliments have produced nothing from Mr. Gerry, but a declaration that none of the Agents in the infamous transaction were employed in the Foreign Office. Mr. Talleyrand seems to be no such novice in corruption as to employ his avowed and immediate dependants in such a business. Some men may believe, and no man dare contradict his tale at Paris, but no man of common sense and common honesty, who is without the reach of his power, can peruse his apology without any other impression than that it is a clumsy defence, and an implied confession of the meanest and most atrocious guilt.
AN ACT,
Limiting the time within which claims against the United States, for credits on the books of the Treasury, may be presented for allowance. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That all credits on the books of the Treasury of the United States, for transactions during the late war, which, according to the course of the Treasury have hitherto been discharged by issuing certificates of registered debt, shall be forever barred and precluded from settlement or allowance, unless claimed by the proper creditors, or their legal representatives, on or before the first day of March, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine. And the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby required to cause this Act to be published in one or more of the public papers of each State.

MY DEAR SIR,
IT is our duty to expose the place hunting Jacobins; indeed lists ought to be furnished with their names and exploits, and published throughout the United States. The inclosed letter, if you think proper to publish it, will give a specimen of the principles of those conspirators; it was written a short time previous (as you will perceive by the date) to our last general election, to Mr. Arndt, who attended a meeting of his federal friends, for the purpose of fixing a ticket of four persons to be run as Representatives in the State Legislature, for the county of Northampton. Mr. Coolbach ran in both tickets, consequently succeeded; his letter is the best expositor of his principles, since he has been in session; we perceive him and his infamous colleagues dissenting from an address to the President, and it is as true, that they left the city for fear of accompanying its presentation:—What hang-dogs these are to represent so opulent a State as Pennsylvania. The public will entertain no great opinion of the county, who send five members to represent them, when they are told that Mr. Coolbach is the best informed man of the five, his letter will demonstrate the depth of their erudition; when the type is set, let it be turned up side down, it is characteristic of the author; please to give it spelling and all, with such remarks as you may have time to bestow upon the caitiff; I am laughing at the ideas he had of two or three words which he had inserted. Though they are well enough applied, he knew no more of their etymology than he does of honor or gratitude.—He mentions the word an lantick, I apprehend he conceived it to be an elderly lady in the neighborhood of Labrador in the employ of the Dutch, perhaps drying cod fish. The word sequel, he imagined fickle with which he purposed to reap laurels in the Legislature. I envy him his happiness when he inserted the word tanta mount; he viewed it analogous to getting a straddle of his ox.

Lord St Vincent lately captured a vessel from South America, which, amongst other articles of great value, contained a statue of the king of Spain in gold, designed as a present to his majesty. The gallant tar, with a spirit worthy of himself, and honorable to his country, forwarded the statue to Cadiz; and in a manner which may greatly enhance the value of the gift, solicited his majesty's acceptance of it.

SPECIMEN OF THE STYLE.
Detefted authors of the Gay Bill!—when ye dare to watch over and guard the country which gave you birth;—Whenever ye dare discharge a sacred trust according to the dictates of your consciences;—bless yourselves that Lucifer did not succeed in overthrowing the throne of Omnipotence;—prostrate yourselves before that throne which you foolishly adore, but which we despise, and give your thanks that the hopes of the Directory are blasted; that the Conqueror of Italy is a Mummy; that the Magician Nelson has transformed Bruys into a Rocket; that Napper is perhaps Napperless;—that the windpipe of Tone is out of Tune;—that my foot is like Talleyrand's foot, unable to overtake you;—that have not three heads, like Cerberus and five more like the Directory, to enable me to fawlown eight of you at a gulph, and that my hands, cannot, like the hands of Briareus wield an hundred Poinards at a time.—For I swear, by all my hopes of being twice an United Irishman, instead of once only, had I those heads, with mouths and teeth, and those hands with Daggers in them.—Oh Hell!—What Pride! What a share should I feel in eating the tender flesh of your children, drinking the blood of your wives, plunging my daggers in your hearts.—And then—had I the hundred eyes of Argus.—Oh!—how they would all glisten with rapture to behold your dying agonies.—But alas!—my hand is too weak to draw a sword, my poor foot is like Talleyrand's, and it cannot overtake you—my eyes are dim with tears for the fate of Napper and of Tone—and I have but one foul mouth—but with that I can mutter curses at you. End of the specimen.
N. B. once—To prevent any suspicion that the work at large falls off from the sublimity of the specimen, the Editor thinks it necessary to state that an eminent doctor lately rendered conspicuous for his valor, another eminent doctor who is his friend and an United Irishman, not once only, but always, and another eminent doctor, lately returned from an expedition to cure Talleyrand's cloven clump, approve of the whole, and say it is sublime.

I publish the above advertisement out of charity, but I really fear Porcupine will have to discharge the author from being his pudding maker; for as he is too weak to fistleto he may perhaps poison him. However, in such a case, if he is accustomed to give servants certificates, he might recommend him to Citizen Genevieve, Citizen Guillotine, or Citizen Halter: He is fit to dress a Pudding for the former, or to furnish a Calf's head to either of the latter.]
EXTRACT From the JOURNALS of the ASSEMBLY of VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY, January 4, 1799. "The House, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, on the state of the Commonwealth, and after some time spent therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the chair, and Mr. Breckenridge reported, that the committee of the whole house had according to order had the same under their consideration the state of the Commonwealth, and had come to several resolutions thereupon, which he read in his place, and then delivered in at the clerk's table, where the same were again read, and are as follows:
Resolved, That the General Assembly of Virginia, will co-operate with the authorities of the United States, in maintaining the independence, union, and constitution thereof, against the hostilities or intrigues of all foreign powers whatsoever; and that, although differences of opinion do exist, in relation to internal and domestic measures; yet a charge that there is a party in this Commonwealth, under the influence of any foreign power, is unfounded and calumnious.
Resolved, That the General Assembly do, and will always behold with indignation, depredations on our commerce; insults on our citizens; impressments of our seamen; or any other injuries committed on the people or government of the United States, by foreign nations.
Resolved nevertheless, That our security from invasion, and the force of our militia, render a standing army unnecessary; that the policy of the United States, forbids a war of aggression: that our whole reliance ought to be on ourselves, and therefore, that while we will repel invasion at every hazard, we shall deplore and deprecate the evils of war for any other cause.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be sent to each of the Senators, and Representatives of this state in congress. The said resolution being read a second time, a motion was made, and the question being put to amend the same by striking out
from the word "Resolved," in the first line, and inserting in lieu thereof the following words:
Resolved, That the President of the United States, in sending to the French republic three envoys extraordinary, vested with the most ample powers, and instructed to use every effort for conciliation, consistent with national honor and independence, manifested a sincere disposition to preserve to our country the blessings of peace.
That the humiliating treatment and final rejection of these envoys, by the French republic, was a gross infraction of the laws and usages of nations, and a marked indignity to the government and people of these states.
That the requisition of a loan of money, as the preliminary to negotiation, was a peculiar aggravation of insult, and decisive proof of hostility of sentiment, and that a compliance with such a requisition would have been a pusillanimous surrender of our national independence.
That the decree of the French councils, subjecting to capture and condemnation, neutral vessels, laden in whole or in part with the productions or manufactures of Great-Britain, is an infringement of the rights of neutral nations, and tends in a particular manner to wound the interest and happiness of these states. Professions of amity from a nation which preserves such a law in full operation, are fallacious and in soling.
That whatever our sentiments may be, as to the propriety of particular acts of our own government, our character is mistaken by those nations who suppose that we will not be united in resenting the insidious machinations, and repelling the open hostilities of any foreign government.
That we will at the hazard of our fortunes and lives, remain what we are, a free, united, and independent people: That we shall at all times, vindicate our national honor and rights against any country which may invade them; and that we will cheerfully co-operate in such constitutional measures of defence, as may be deemed necessary by the councils of the Union.

In our Gazette of yesterday evening we inserted a letter from the Secretary of State to the President of the United States, correcting two errors, which had crept into the report of the former, of the 18th instant. We introduced this letter by remarking that it was yesterday communicated to Congress by the President. In this, we have since learnt, we were mistaken; as the letter, although drafted, was never sent to the President, nor by him communicated. We were led into the mistake by the draft of the letter being left with us as a memorandum, whereby to correct the copy of the report, which was then in our press; but we supposed it had been left to be published in our Gazette as an official document.
The Governor, this morning, communicated to the Senate of this State, a copy, a copy of the Resolutions of the Legislature of the state of Kentucky, which were read, and on the question, "Shall these resolutions lie on the table?" it was determined in the negative—Nays 14—Yeas 8.

And whereas, it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on imports and tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations hereforecharged upon them by law, shall be pledged and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority afore-said—And whereas by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent revenues for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, authorize and empower the Secretary of the Treasury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five millions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the interest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.

If more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said Loan, the surplus shall be deducted in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars.

The Secretary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by special agreement, with the individuals who may become subscribers.
3d. On the failure of payment of any installment of the sums subscribed according to the tenor of the second article, the next succeeding installment of twelve dollars and fifty cents, which shall have been paid, for every hundred dollars subscribed shall be forfeited to the United States.

6th. The sums subscribed and paid in pursuance of the tenor of the second article preceding, shall after the said payments have been completed, constitute a funded capital stock divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, which capital stock shall bear interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum from the times fixed for the payment of the respective installments payable quarterly yearly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited, until the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight.
