The petition of Thomas Stewardson on behalf of himself and the other trustees for the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meeke, bearing date Philadelphia, 5th Month 17th 1799, stated as follows, viz. That a certain John Collins had, in consequence of fraudulent deeds poll, obtained patents for two certain tracts of land, one situate in the county of Northumberland, surveyed to Samuel Caldwell in pursuance of a warrant dated in 1774; and the other situate now in Luzerne county, surveyed to said Caldwell by a warrant also dated in 1774 and requested that patents might be granted, for the said tracts, to William Crammond, Edward Fulgham, John Ashley, and Thomas Stewardson, trustees of the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meeke, as the said two tracts were part of the estate of Meeke and Caldwell.
Whereupon the Board having considered the same, ordered that at least sixty days notice be given in one of the Philadelphia newspapers, and in the Lancaster Journal to the said Collins or his attorneys, to appear before the Board on the first Monday in October next, to show cause if any he or they have, why patents should not issue for the said two tracts to the said trustees agreeably to the prayer of the said petition.

CONTINUATION OF Late Foreign Articles BY THE DUBLIN PACKET, ARRIVED AT NEW-YORK. PARIS. JEAN DEBRY'S LETTER. The Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the Congress, to Citizen Talleyrand, Minister for Foreign Affairs. "Strasbourg, 12 Floreal, (May 1.)"
"Citizen Minister, I endeavor to collect myself, in order to dictate the details of the dreadful events of which the French Legation were the victims, on the 9th Floreal (April 28) and from which wounded and mutilated, I have escaped by a miracle, of which I cannot give an account. "Long before 30th Germinal (19th April) the French Legation perceived that means of all kinds were employed by the enemies of peace to produce the dissolution of the Congress; and we reckoned upon seeing it expire insensibly, by the successive retreat of those who composed it; but on that day (30th Germinal) the carrying off the ferry men who had served to transmit our correspondence by way of Seltz, informed us that our enemies would not, undoubtedly, have the patience which the French government showed; we exclaimed against this violation of the rights of nations; the Deputation exclaimed on their side; and therefore of these steps was a military letter, which announced to us, that no tranquilizing declaration for the safety of the members of the Congress could be made. The Deputation assembled anew, declared that they were no longer free; that, besides, the recall of several members rendered them, according to the terms of their instructions, unable to adopt any deliberation whatever. It was upon this conclusion, officially transmitted to us by the Directorial Minister, himself recalled, that we founded our Note of the 6th Floreal (25th April) protesting against the violence exercised, and declaring that we should repair within three days to the commune of Strasbourg, to continue the negotiation there. The next day, the 7th (I give you all these details from memory, because our papers are carried off as you shall hear; but I do not think I am mistaken respecting dates) Citizen Lamire, courier of the Legation was seized at Plittersdorf by an Austrian patrol, and sent to Gernsbach, the Colonel's quarters. Informed by us of this outrage, unheard of till then, but which was soon to be surpassed, all the members of the diplomatic body, especially the minister of Baden, the Prussian Legation and the Directorial ministers applied to the Austrian colonel for reparation; they demanded from him particularly, the assurance that we should be respected in returning to France. No answer was given. On the 9th (17th April) preparations were made for our departure; we might have gone without doubt with safety, had we not been away on the 8th (26th April) when there was no Austrian patrols on the Rhine; but having once introduced the question of the right we had to return in safety, we should have thought ourselves wanting to the dignity of our character, had we not required some solution; and perhaps this sentiment facilitated the execution of the crime upon which I am about to enter. "I resume my recital, Citizen Minister; On the 9th Floreal (April 28) at half past seven in the evening, a captain of Hussars of Szecklers, stationed at Gegenbach, came, on the part of his Colonel, to declare verbally to Baron Albin, that we might quit Rastadt in safety, and afterwards came to signify to us an order to leave that city in 24 hours. Already had the Hussars of Szeckler taken possession of it, and occupied all the avenues; at eight o'clock we got into our carriages; when we arrived at the gate of Rastadt we found a general prohibition to let no one enter or go out. An hour was spent in parleys—it appears they stood in need of this delay, in order to organize the execrable execution that followed, and of which, I say it with conviction, all the details had been commanded and combined beforehand. At length the Austrian commandant gave an order for the departure of the French Legation. We demanded an escort; it was refused, and the commandant declared, that we should be as safe as in our own rooms. In consequence of this, we began our journey. We were not fifty paces from Rastadt, ourselves and the Ligurian Legation, who did not quit us, and who participated our dangers with unequalled devotion, when a detachment of nearly 60 Hussars of Szeckler, in ambush upon the Canal of La Murg, fell upon our carriages, and made them stop. Mine was the first of them. Six men, armed with drawn sabres tear me out with violence—I am searched, and robbed of all that I had. Another, who appeared to command this expedition, arrives on horse back, and asks for the minister Jean Debry; I thought he came to save me. It is I, I said, who am Jean Debry, minister of France. Scarcely had I said so, when two cuts from a sabre stretched me upon the ground, I was immediately assailed on all sides by fresh blows. Tumbled into a ditch, I feigned to be dead: the banditti then left me to go to the other carriages. I availed myself of this instant, and escaped—wounded in different places, losing blood on all sides, and indebted for my life, perhaps, only to the thickness of my clothes." Bonnier was killed in the same manner I was to have been, and Reberjot massacred almost in the arms of his wife. "The same question was put to my ill fated colleagues as to me: 'Are you Bonnier? Are you Reberjot?' our carriages were pillaged; every thing became the prey of the brigands; the papers of the Legation were
carried off, conveyed to the Austrian commandant, and claimed in vain. The secretary of the legation threw himself into a ditch, and by favor of the night, escaped the blows of the assassins. I crawled to an adjacent wood, hearing the yells of the criminals, the screams of the victims, and particularly of their companions, of the wife of Reberjot, of my wife seven months gone with child, and of two daughters calling out for their father: my private secretary, Citizen Belin, was held by six men, to be witness to all these scenes of horror. My Valet de Chambre was thrown into the river. "I know that all the members of the diplomatic corps made the greatest efforts to break through the line of the assassins, and to come to the assistance of those to whom assistance might yet be administered. But it was not till one in the morning that the wife of Reberjot could get to M. de Jacob's, the Prussian minister; and my wife and daughters to M. de Redon, minister from Bremen and Hanover. I wandered about the wood during the whole of that dreadful night, fearful of the day, which might expose me to the Austrian patroles. About six in the morning, hearing them go about, and seeing that I could not avoid them, penetrated besides by the rain and the cold, and growing more and more enfeebled by the blood which I lost, I took the desperate resolution of returning to Rastadt. I saw on the road the naked bodies of my two colleagues. The dreadful weather, and perhaps the weariness of the assassins, after the commission of such crimes, facilitated my journey, and I arrived at length out of breath, and covered with blood, at the Court de Gortz's, the King of Prussia's minister. "It is out of my power to depict to you the torment, and to relate to you the recitals of all the persons attached to the Legation, who were the witnesses or the objects of these execrable scenes; I will collect them when I have strength. Notwithstanding her virtuous courage, the wife of Reberjot is like a mad person with grief. I implore for her all the interest of the government. Fatigued with the recital which I have just made at two different times, I confine myself now to express to you how much gratitude each of the persons saved, owes to the generous devotion of the members of the diplomatic corps. I name none of them, because it would be necessary to name them all. Besides generous attentions and sweet consolations, we are indebted to them for our return here; a formal act, signed by all of them, was conveyed to the Austrian Colonel declaring to him that their constituents made him responsible both for the crime and its consequences. The minister of the Margrave gave us an escort of his troops for our return. It was necessary to suffer it to be joined by the Hussars of Szeckler, who appeared to see that I had escaped with regret. The Prussian Legation, prevented by them from accompanying us, charged their Secretary M. de Jordan, not to quit us till we had embarked. My God! why was it that so much care could not prevent the fatal catastrophe of my two ill fated colleagues.
Health and Respect, (Signed) "JEAN DEBRY."
LONDON, May 21. BREIT FLEET In the absence of all authentic information respecting this expedition, new conjectures are daily formed as to its destination. On this subject, a diurnal writer says, "The Breit fleet was near the north coast of Spain on the 28th. If it had steered for Cadiz it must have been seen. We suspect it had stretched out directly westward into the Atlantic Ocean, whether right for Ireland or to the left for Cadiz, or going onward for America, we cannot determine. But among the many idle speculations that have been made as to its object, that which considers America is not the most contemptible. The southern States seem disposed to receive them; the Spanish interest have lately been in collision with those of the United States in that quarter. We must remember Blount's conspiracy, and the late discovery of a ship with French emissaries from Hamburg. To this we must add, that the last American papers say, the President had given orders for raising a strong army 'as there was reason to believe the French had determined to invade the southern States'. Such an invasion would please Spain; and the commercial interest of this country would receive a deadly blow by the overthrow of the existing government.—If the French fleet were then to revolutionize the West Indies, and pour the blank troops from St. Domingo into Jamaica, Barbadoes, and our other islands, the mischief might be dreadful. Toussaint's pretended affection for this country is a farce. We see no ob-
ject which the Breit fleet can to probably attain, or which could prove more destructive of our commercial advantage, than successful attacks on America and the West Indies. Those two points compose more than one half of the whole of our trade. Either of them is nearly equal to the East Indies in point of value with this country, and if they were revolutionized, our marine could scarcely recover them. The manifest co-operation of Spain, and her late complaints that she could not draw her treasure from America on account of the British navy, give some countenance to this speculation, which we are ready to admit, may be as idle as any that has been advanced.
ELECTION.
ALL those of the inhabitants of the County of Bucks, by law, qualified to vote for Members of Assembly, and who are desirous that JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsborough, should succeed the present supreme Magistrate, as Governor for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, are requested to meet at the house of Charles Stuart, in Doylestown, on Saturday the 17th of August next, for the purpose of consulting what further measures may be necessary for promoting the election of Mr. R. R. HENRY WYNKOOP, Chairman of the Bucks County Corresponding Committee. July 8, 1799.
Twenty Dollars Reward.
DESERTED from the barracks at Reading, in the night of the 5th July, 1799, the following soldiers in the 11th regiment in the service of the United States. Thomas Britton Bush, a private, born in Chester county, 25 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches and 3-4 high, dark complexion, brown eyes and long black hair which he commonly wears tied close to his head, by occupation a farmer; he is a stout, good looking fellow, and considerably marked with the small pox, is much addicted to liquor, and very abusive when intoxicated; he was dressed in full infantry uniform except his hat—it is expected that he will change his dress as he stole a plain round hat and a number of citizens' clothes. Also, James McMillen, born in the county of Antrim, in Ireland, 36 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches and 1-2 high, fair complexion, grey eyes, short brown hair, which is very thin upon the crown of his head, of thin visage and a very pleasant countenance; by occupation a farmer, and was dressed in full infantry uniform. The above reward and reasonable expenses will be paid to any person who shall apprehend and confine in any goal, or deliver to any officer in the service of the United States, the above described deserters, or ten dollars and expenses for either of them.

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOLL 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MAEVAD. By William Gifford, Esquire. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America—This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Saml. Miller, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as associations offer.] May 28

The other, Hilary Bishop five feet six inches high, ruddy complexion, sandy hair, a remarkable ringworm on the left of his lip. (Went off in uniform.) N. B. They took with them one brown cloth Coat, one blue cloth Coat, and many other articles not known at present. W. H. BURROW, Major Commandant of Marine Corps May 29

NATIONAL PUBERTY.
The fourth of July is properly celebrated as the birth-day of the United States—The seventeenth ought to be commemorated as the Anniversary of the manhood of our nation.
On Wednesday, agreeably to arrangements, which were previously published, the Young Men of Boston, publicly celebrated the dissolution of the Treaty which once linked us to the French Nation. At an early hour, the procession moved from Faneuil-Hall, escorted by the Independent Light Infantry Company, under Capt. Sargent. They halted at the Old State-House, where they were joined by officers of the Army and Navy of the U. S. Officers of the Independent and Militia Companies of the Town, and a number of respectable gentlemen of the Country and Town. The Procession passed through Court, Tremont and School-streets, and Cornhill, to the Old Brick Meeting-House—Which was previously almost completely occupied by the patriots, enquiring and judicious of the Fair Sex; when the Gentlemen of the Procession were added, the house was extremely crowded. And the inconveniences of fraternal compression were generally realized. The Rev. Mr. Kirkland commenced the business of the day, by a Prayer particularly appropriate—Then followed "Rule Columbia," an Ode, sung by Mr. Rea. The whole audience joined in the thrilling chorus.
Rise Columbia, brave and free, POISE the GLOBE, and BOUND the SEA.
Mr. Paine then pronounced an Oration replete with important fact, chaste wit, and pure patriotism. The praise, repeatedly bestowed by the auditors, is a demonstration of its merit infinitely beyond newspaper plaudit or individual eulogium. The ceremonies closed with the people's Song, "Adams and Liberty"—in the chorus of which they heartily joined. The Arrangements of the day were prepared with judgment and executed with precision.
HARTFORD, July 22.
Wednesday last, the 17th of July, was the anniversary of the dissolution of the treaty, between the United States and France. An event of so much importance to the safety, independence, and happiness of the United States, it is presumed, will not be forgotten by the real friends of their Country. Impressed with the idea that nothing of so much magnitude has occurred since the Declaration of Independence, a number of gentlemen belonging to this city, met at Major Ripley's, and supped with great harmony, and felicity. The persons who have in various ways, been in greater or less degrees concerned in bringing to pass the abrogation of the Treaty, were bro't into remembrance; and the following toasts were drank, as expressive of the sentiments of the company respecting their characters. As most of the toasts are quotations, it will readily be perceived, that vice, and villain are ever the same.

NEW-YORK, July 23.
The account, in a morning paper stating that capt. Giles, in 55 days from Cadiz, had fallen in with five British sail of the line, a few days after his sailing is totally erroneous. Capt. Giles heard, in Cadiz, that they had passed that port, and he fell in with no British vessels on his passage home.
The Schooner Rachel, from Cadiz, ship Diana from St. Sebastians, and brig Diets from Liverpool, arrived here yesterday and Sunday, after long passages. By them, of course, we have received no intelligence.
An article on the Coffee-House Books says—"We are authorized to assure the public, that the vessel seen off Egg Harbour, supposed to be a French privateer, proves to be a British Letter of Marque, which has arrived in this port."
Capt. Giles, of the Schooner Rachel who arrived from Cadiz on Sunday evening, informs us, that he left there barque Doggan, of New-York; ship Mitchell, Baltimore brig Betty, Loring, Boston; snow Tappan, Tuckett, N. York; and several other vessels, owned by Spanish merchants.
Ship Sally of Salem, which had been detained by the government, was expected to sail in ten days.
Arrived yesterday, ship Diana, capt. Smith, from St. Sebastians, 68 days. Left there the following vessels, viz. ships Orlando, Capt. Smith; Matilda, Travers; and schrs. Pegasus, Palmer; Thetis, Stevenson, for New-York, a brig belonging to Baltimore, name unknown. Passenger on board, Mr. Archer.
The brig Diets, Captain Thompson, from Liverpool, in 70 days, five days after leaving Liverpool, spoke the Schooner Ellis, Captain Wright, from Liverpool, to Hartford.
ALBANY, July 19.
[The following is extracted from an Address delivered at Cooperstown, on the late National Fast—by JOHN McDONALD, A. M.—After detailing the measures adopted by this country, to preserve a good understanding with the French, previous to the system of arming for the defence of our property, and the security of our rights, the orator proceeds as follows:]
"America, was now convinced, that patience must give place to exertion, and fruitless negotiation to defensive preparation. Adams, with decision, unveiled the behavior and views of that faithless government, and the danger to which her arms and her principles exposed us. He urged, that opportunity, and not inclination, prevented her, from putting her threats into execution. He called upon his country to assume the attitude of war, and to prepare for making her next demand with the sword. "Who that knows the impious principles and the foul abomination of republican France will venture to maintain that this measure was either rash or unnecessary? Has she not boasted that her vengeance is faithful to her threats? Has she ever cared less a nation without polluting it? Her friendship and enmity are equally to be dreaded. The groans of Holland, the reproaches of Switzerland, the tears of Italy, bid us beware of French arts and arms. At their touch, all that endears domestic life; all that renders man dignified and woman lovely; all that sooths life and prepares for eternity, wither and die. This dark cloud, pregnant with misery, still points to our shores. Union among ourselves, confidence in our government, and trust in God, are our only protection."
BALTIMORE, July 22.
Should the belligerent powers of the European continent, adhere to their determination of "giving no quarter" the enlightened 18th century will have nothing to boast over the annals of the most barbarous periods of the world, the only consolation that humanity has left, is, that the more sanguinary the conflict, the sooner its termination.

Extract of a letter from a merchant of respectability in Cadiz, to a mercantile house in this city, dated May 23, 1799.
"Enclosed you will find a copy of a decree lately given at Madrid, prohibiting all neutral vessels going to our West Indies, &c.—but it is expected, that by the representations gone to Madrid, it will be revoked in a great measure, and that Cocoa and Sugar will be admitted into our ports as of late, and at least those who have private licences for the importation will enjoy them."
"Our opinion is, that though there should be a declaration of war between America and France, that this country will avoid engaging in the affair."

To the Managers of the Alms House and House of Employ.
GENTLEMEN, I will now remark on fuel: in your account you say it cost £1214 7 8. If you had mentioned how many cords, it would have enabled us to form a more correct opinion of the economy used in this part of the expenditures. To me the charge appears very extravagant, and being a material item, it is worthy of attention.
Your next charge under the head of incidental expenses; for salaries of Steward, matron, nurses to the sick, door keepers, repairs to the house, candles, oil, stationary, household and kitchen furniture and funeral expenses, is
£3375 7 6 Is it possible you can suppose this lumpish manner of charging will give satisfaction? It is sometimes urged as a mask, to conceal improper charges, and although I do not mean to pass such a censure as this upon you, I confess it appears to me a great mystery how those few expenses can amount to so much money. I will however analyze the account, in my own way, by a supposition calculation on the different items, and see the result.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Includes per ann. not a bad birth, £300, The matron, 50, Door keeper, hard times too, if out of 225 men who do little or nothing you cannot furnish one for that office, 30, Repairs of the houses you say is 800 lb. candles at 15d., 753 5 10, Oil, 50 0 0, Stationary, 9 0 0, House and kitchen furniture, 112 10 0, Funeral charges, 75 0 0, Total 1398 10 10.
The only remaining head is nurses, for them a balance is left of
Table with 2 columns: Amount, 1926 16 2.
A few more reflections arise on the above account. It may be possible that your Scribe d-w it out in a haste and forgot to put an &c. to it, which will supply any omission. If that be the case, and the error is a typographical one, he had better have it corrected. In considering the matter, I am inclined to believe, such a mistake might have happened, and probably the doctor's four hundred dollars per ann. may form part of the aggregate sum, for it is no where mentioned: neither is the counsellor's salary of four hundred dollars per annum to be seen in any part of your account, which I notice just to give you an opportunity to explain, while I prepare a few observations upon that subject for the next number.
The physicians in the hospital have no pay, and they must be contributors of at least ten pounds before they can be elected.

Died, in Bucks County, on the 18th inst. Mr. JOHN THOMPSON, aged 73 years; through life he was eminently useful and much respected—his death is generally lamented by a large circle of acquaintance.
At a meeting held at the house of Mr. Landel, in the Northern Liberties, on the evening of the 17th inst. for the purpose of nominating a proper person to fill the office of Governor at the ensuing election.
SAMUEL WHEELER, in the chair. JOHN F. WATSON, Secretary.
The meeting taking into consideration the shock which the equal rights of men have received from the overwhelming ambition of France; the danger with which every republic on earth has been threatened; and many of them destroyed by her open violence or secret intrigues; and the importance of filling our offices of public trust with men who have ever manifested an exclusive attachment to our own country; who have had no connection with foreign factions, no bias from foreign influence, who are truly republican in their manners and principles, and truly American in their affections and patriotism; It was unanimously resolved to support JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsburgh.
The meeting then proceeded to the appointment of a corresponding committee, whereupon the following persons were chosen, viz.
Samuel Wheeler, Joseph Gopethwait, John Kean, Basil Wood, Abraham Cessas, James Swaine, Abraham Duffield, James Hart, Abiah Brown, Matthew Vandusen, Thomas Hambleton, Lewis Bender.
Resolved, That the foregoing be published in the papers of this city, and that the Chairman and Secretary sign the same.
