PHOCION—No. X.
WE are next informed of Mr. Jefferson's "at- tachment to the RELIGIOUS RIGHTS of mankind," and are referred for his sentiments respecting religi- ous liberty to his writings, his conduct , and particu- larly to the "an establishing religious freedom," drawn up by him.
Hampden would have acted more wisely, and more conformably, I am persuaded, to the wishes of his patron, had he passed over this tender subject in silence. It was certainly indiscreet to mention Tho- mas Jefferson and religion in the same paragraph of an eulogy.— Religious freedom and freedom from reli- gion are now become convertible terms with most modern philosophers, particularly those who have been educated in the philosophical schools of France. Mr. Jefferson has been heard to say, since his return from France, that the men of letters and philoso- phers he had met with in that country, were gene- rally Atheists . The late impious and blasphemous works of Thomas Paine, reviling the christian reli- gion, have been much applauded in France, and have been very industriously circulated in the Uni- ted States, by all that class of people, who are friendly to Mr. Jefferson's politics, and anxiously desirous of his election to the Presidency. Mr. Jef- ferson's friendship for Paine has been already men- tioned; that anti-christian writer had apartments at Citizen Monroe's at Paris, and should Mr. Jefferson be President, there is no doubt he would return to this country and be a conspicuous figure at the President's table at Philadelphia, where this en- lightened pair of philosophers would fraternize, and philosophize against the christian religion, and the ab- surdity of religious worship.—Whatever new lights they may have acquired in France, it is certain that Jefferson had naturally very good predispositions on the subject of religion. In his notes on Vir- ginia, page 169, in discussing the subject of religious freedom, he makes this witty observation—"It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god; it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg; if it be said, his tes- timony in a court of justice cannot be relied on, reject it then, and be the stigma on him. In page 170, he says, "millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of chris- tianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and im- prisoned." In page 171, speaking of the state of religion in Pennsylvania and New-York, he says, "religion there is well supported, of various kinds indeed, but all good enough; all sufficient to pre- serve peace and order."
Which ought we to be most shocked at, the levi- ty or the impiety of these remarks? "It does me no injury, if my neighbour is an atheist, because it does not break my leg!" What? do I receive no injury, as a member of society, if I am surrounded with atheists, with whom I can have no social in- tercourse, on whom there are none of those relig- ious and sacred ties, which restrain mankind from the perpetration of crimes, and without which ties ci- vil society would soon degenerate into a wretched state of barbarism, and be stained with scenes of turpitude, and with every kind of atrocity? Good God! is this the man the patriots have cast their eyes on as successor to the virtuous Washington, who, in his farewell address, so warmly and affectionately recommends to his fellow-citizens, the cultivation of religion . Contrast with the above frivolous and impious quotations the following dignified ad- vice from that true patriot: "Of all the dispositi- ons and habits, which lead to political prosperi- ty, religion and morality are indispensable sup- ports. In vain would that man (he seems to point at Jefferson!) claim the tribute of patrio- tism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connexi- ons with private and public felicity."
Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the lease of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us, with caution, indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained, without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of re- fined education on minds of peculiar structure, rea- son and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of relig- ious principle. 'Tis substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular govern- ment. The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who then is a sincere friend to it can look with indiffer- ence upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? Can it be, that Providence has not con- nected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment, which ennobles human nature; alas! it is rendered impossible by its vices!"
What sublime sentiments, what admirable ad- vice! How must it sink in our eyes the pretended philosopher, who could attempt to degrade the Christian religion by charging to it the murder of millions, who could view with such indifference the many alarming innovations on the mild and simple religion of our forefathers? "There are religions, of various kinds indeed, says our philosopher, but ALL GOOD ENOUGH."
Good enough indeed for one who established and patronized a new paper, one object of which was to revile christianity! It is not forgotten that the National Gazette , published by a clerk in the de- partment of state and under the auspices of the se- cretary, lost no convenient opportunity of making
* Contrast even an observation of his own in one of his letters, already referred to, where he says, "the declaration that religious faith shall be unpunished, does not give impunity to criminal acts dictated by religious error." He then believed that religious er- ror would produce criminal acts! and yet religious er- ror does no injury to society! absurd and inconsistent writer! !
a mockery of religion, and vilifying the clergy of the country.
It is well observed by a modern writer, "that patriotism , as a moral principle attaching itself to political society, depends, like every other moral principle, on its relation to religion. The creator of man has bound the social to the divine virtues, and made our devotion and our reverence to him- self, the ground work of our duties to our brethren and to our country."
The act for establishing religious freedom, in Vir- ginia, (the necessity for which is not very obvious,) has been much extolled by Mr. Jefferson's panegy- rists. I ask them what good effects has it pro- duced? Does religion flourish in Virginia more than it did or more than in the eastern states? Is public worship better attended? Are the ministers of the gospel better supported, than in the eastern states?
That act, which is nearly all preamble, setting forth a series of principles, some of which are proved by late experience in France to be very qu- estionable, has, in my opinion, an immediate ten- dency to produce a total disregard to public wor- ship, an absolute indifference to all religion what- ever. It states, among other things, "that we ought not to be obliged to support even the min- isters of our own religious persuasion, and that our civil rights have no more dependence on our reli- gious opinions than on our opinions in physic or ge- ometry;" the act then declares, "that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any reli- gious worship or minister whatever, and that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions, in matters of religion, without diminishing their civil capacities."
I will not accuse Mr. Jefferson of having been influenced by selfish views , in getting this act passed; but those acquainted with his conduct and opi- nions will agree with me, that he has fully taken advantage of every title of the preamble and enact- ing-clause: he has proved his religious freedom, or, rather, his freedom from religion, by his conduct; and by his opinions, his right to maintain by argu- ment any opinion whatever, in matters of religion. Who ever saw him in a place of worship? The man who can say he has seen such a phenomenon, is himself a much greater curiosity than the elephant now travelling through the southern states.
But how inconsistent, not only with truth, but with themselves, are these visionary philosophers, who are thus always striking out some new doc- trine? The preamble states, that our civil rights have no dependence whatever on our religious opin- ions: and yet it immediately after admits, that reli- gious opinions may break out into overt acts against peace and good order, and yet the letter just quoted speaks of criminal acts dictated by religious error ! What a conformity do we find between the senti- ments of Mr. Jefferson, in matters of religion, and those of Tom Paine? Where is the wonder, then, if the works of the latter are circulated with so much zeal by the friends of the former? Tom Paine has ridiculed the Holy Scriptures, and repro- bated public worship. Tom Jefferson has attempted to disprove the deluge —has made it a question whether the Almighty ever had a chosen people, and has, by example and precept, discontinued public worship . Such is the Chief Magistrate whom the patriots of citizen Fauchet have selected for the United States!! Such the kindred philosophers, whose new lights are to be disseminated throughout America, under the auspices of the Chief Magis- trate of the Union !!
See, among various instances, the 26th number of the National Gazette, where the belief of a Provi- dence is treated as an impious tenet . In the time of Robespierre, a member of the convention who had introduced into his speech the word Providence , was called to order, by the cry of Point de Providence , no Providence .

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
Was mislaid, or taken away by mistake (soon after the formation of the Abolition Society) from the Servant Girls of this town, all inclination to do any kind of work;—and left, in lieu thereof, an impudent appearance, a strong and continued thirst for high wages, a gossiping disposition for every sort of amusement, a leering and hankering after persons of the other sex, desire of finery and fashion, a never ceasing trot after new places more advan- tageous for stealing—with a number of contingent accomplishments that do not suit the wearers.— Now if any person or persons will restore to the own- ers that degree of Honesty and Industry which has been for some time missing, he or they shall receive the above reward of Five Hundred Dollars, beside the warmest blessings of many abused and insulted HOUSEHOLDERS.

BON MOT.
A gentleman who possessed a much larger quan- tity of nose, than nature usually bestows upon an individual, contrived to make it more enormous by his invincible attachment to the bottle, which also bested it with emeralds and rubies. To add to his misfortunes, this honest toper's face was somewhat disfigured, by not having a regular pair of eyes; one being black, and the other of a reddish hue. A person happening once to observe, that his eyes were not fellows , congratulated him on that circum- stance. The rosy gilled old tippler demanded the reason. "Because," replied the jocular genius, "if your eyes had been matchers , your nose would certainly have set them in a flame, and a dreadful conflagration might have been apprehended."

Mr. PENNO,
By publishing the following Remarks and Return you will oblige A Subscriber.
General Daniel Heister, who, it is well known, voted against making the appropriations for carry- ing the treaty with Great Britain into effect, find- ing his conduct not approved of by his immediate constituents, resigned his seat in congress. In con- sequence of which, the governor of this state issued his writs, directed to the sheriffs of Berks and Le- banon counties, commanding them to hold an elec- tion for a person to serve the next session of con- gress in his place, at the same time that a member was to be elected to serve in the next congress.— Colonel Joseph Heister, cousin to the general, and of the same political opinions, was a candidate; but the friends of government, thinking that the change would not be for the better, proposed Mr. George Edge, who was known to be a firm federal- ist. They also proposed Christian Lower, a federal- ist, (and who, as colonel of militia, was decidedly in favour of government during the insurrection at the westward) as a senator for Berks and Dauphin counties, in opposition to Gabriel Heister, who thinks with his brother Daniel. Every exertion was made, on both sides, for upwards of two months previous to the election; and on the day, Gabriel

Heister even went out of his own election district to another, where he tho' he had more influence, and appeared on the ground, openly soliciting for himself and cousin: and victuals and liquor were given by colonel Heister's friends in Reading.—The result will appear from the following statement, which is authentic, and by which it will also appear that, notwithstanding every exertion, and colonel Heister's great influence in this county, (which prevented many well-disposed persons from voting against him, under the idea that all opposition was vain) the federal ticket carried by a majority of near five hundred votes.

The following article appears in the Aurora of this morning; according to this, gen. Jourdan's retreat, &c. were preconceived, "the plan of the Austrians being now a second time completely unblinded."
HAMBURGH, Sept. 14.
Extract of a letter, dated Paris, September 5. "The accounts of Jourdan's retreat out of the circle of Bavaria to that of Franconia, were yesterday the subject of all political conversation. This circumstance very little disquiets those who wish for a speedy peace; and bets were offered, that this event would greatly accelerate the conclusion of peace, and that at least in one month, the war would be terminated."
"Among others, I heard a person, employed in the military committee, say with a degree of confidence, that in a short time the military operations would produce quite unexpected results; he assured that the French plan of operations had not undergone the least change during the whole campaign, and that, on the contrary, the plan of the Austrians was now a second time completely unblinded."
The Spectator of Paris says: People are at a loss to decide why the alliance with Prussia which should seem to have attained its maturity is not made public. Time will shew it.
There is an article in the constitution, by virtue of which during two years commencing the first Vendemaire [September 22, 1795] no member of the legislature can be brought in the ministry or directory. Every body is therefore eager to know whether from this to the 22d Sept. any change will take place in the present ministry.—The parties are very active and the one inveighs against Lacroix with more violence than before, and the other against Cochon.
[The following paragraph from a Paris paper will shew the precarious tenure by which the French hold Italy... We have a great number of similar accounts; but the largest daily paper is not sufficient to detail all the interesting facts received from Europe.—Of what use is French republicanism, if it is to be maintained only by the sword?] (N. Y. Minerva.)
We have received an account from the army of Italy, of great cruelties exercised by the Italians on our troops, during Wurmser's invasion. The news of our defeat was diffused through the states of Venice, where joy shone on every countenance, and where the most severe epigrams were circulated against the French.—After the battle of Salo, the wounded were sent to the hospital at Cremona; not a carriage could be found on the road to carry them thither; notwithstanding their wounds they were obliged to make a forced march on foot; several of them dropped down on the road, covered with blood, and groaning with pain! The peasants insulted them, spit in their faces, and left them to perish. The governor of Azola suffered them to pass the night in the streets, refusing to give them either provision or shelter.
At Canal Maggiore the military chest was pillaged in passing the Po; a crowd of people assembled at the sound of the alarm bell, which was the signal of massacre; a great number of Frenchmen were massacred with pitchforks and bludgeons, and thrown into the Po. The Italians, and particularly the Venetians, tore their flesh with their nails and teeth; a French commandant was assassinated by these cannibals, in the presence of his wife and children, who had embarked on the Po. After they had mutilated him, they threw his mangled limbs into the boat in which his family were, who shrieked with horror. Throughout the Milanese, even at Parma and Piacenza, the French were insulted; the people thought they were lost beyond resource. On the 14th the change of fortune was announced, when those men who the day before were cruel and insolent, appeared humble, supple and flattering. Oh! let us hasten to terminate this war, for there is not a nation on the globe more perfidious than the Italians! (L'Ami des Lois.)
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS,
NEW-YORK, October 62.
The legislature of France have under discussion, a proposition of granting a general amnesty for all revolutionary crimes, committed before the 4th
Brumaire of the 4th year. This measure is violently opposed by Boissy d'Anglas.—Emigrants, however, are excepted from this proposition.
Another measure under deliberation is to repeal the law of 3d Brumaire, which renders the relations of Emigrants incapable of holding any emolument in the republic. In the debate, a member remarked on the folly of such a law, as it recognized a feudal principle of punishing whole families for the crimes of one of its branches—alluding to confiscation for treason. He observed also the inconsistency of their conduct, for even while that law is in force, Barras, a member of the directory, has a brother who is an emigrant.
The directory have officially notified the minister of war, to reduce the military of the interior to the peace establishment—retaining only in France the national guards and gendarmerie, and the troops necessary for the garrisons—the rest of the troops are to retire to the conquered countries for subsistence at the expense of their enemies.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
27 Fructidor, September 13.
Duehatal again brought forward his plan of re-converting into paper the assignats which had been annulled, and which remained in the national treasury; and also the plan of burning, in the presence of the administration, those contained in the public chests of the departments. Adopted.
On the proposition of Merlin, the council granted to the soldiers imprisoned in the interior, the choice of their advocates at the places where they are to be tried.
Delannay, in the name of a special commission, stated, that during the rebellion in the western departments, a number of acts had been framed, and arbitrary judgments in civil cases pronounced by persons who were not competent. Were these acts and sentences to be annulled? This would be to disturb the quiet of families, and kindle up new animosities. The reporter proposed to render valid all those that had been enacted since the 10th of March, 1793, to the 1st of Thermidor of the fourth year. Adjourned.
PARIS, August 21.
A letter from Basil states, that the emigrants who are compelled to quit the Swiss territory, exhibit the most lamentable spectacle. They are excluded from every other country. The different states of Germany invaded by the French, or in dread of an invasion, have even refused them permission to pass thro' their country. The roads of Switzerland are crowded with these unhappy men. Many of them commit suicide; others ask either for death or relief of the passengers, who refuse them both. Old men, women and children are seen overcome with fatigue, resting on the threshold of a farm-house, devouring in silence the bread which a disdainful pity bestows on them. The French government, then, which makes kings tremble, affects to dread these old men, these women, and these children!—These are the beings whom they condemn to death! In vain do we consider whether these unfortunate beings can direct their course.—Perhaps their only resource is to people the deserts of Siberia, and to repair to that spot to which the empress of Russia sends the greatest criminals in her dominions: but still now are they to get there?—How can they travel 600 leagues without assistance, thro' foreign countries, or countries which, alarmed at their own danger, cannot sympathize in the misfortunes of these numerous victims. The heart shudders at the recital of these political horrors.
Some priests, banished from Switzerland, have written to the legislative body, to tell them, that certain of finding death whithersoever they may go, they are determined to seek it in the territory of France.
But let us now cast our eyes on a picture no less afflicting—those unhappy emigrants who were shipwrecked on our coasts, are about to be tried again. What! at the very moment that we profess to return to the principles of humanity, we are going to imitate the most barbarous people, and renew the human sacrifices of Taurus! These men, having been acquitted by one tribunal, it appears to me to be a gross violation of justice to have them tried by another. But what do I say? they are sent to a military commission. And why to a military commission? Why these perpetual violations of the sacred laws of justice?—Oh! when shall we be restored to those humane sentiments, the names of which are incessantly on our lips, though their substance is never in our hearts?—(Le Censeur des Journaux.)
Instead of accelerating the progress of reformation in Europe, the French seem to have vied with the combined powers in retarding the propagation of their principles.
Men judge of principles by practice and effects.—If the French, wherever they go, oppress the people more severely than the old governments, it will not be easy to persuade them to attempt a change; and this, in many instances, has been precisely the fact.
The conduct of the French nation towards emigrants of almost all descriptions, is vindictive beyond example. They not only doom them to loss of estate, and death, if they can seize them, but they drive them, by arms or by treaty, from all the countries where they obtain power or influence.—The most peaceable emigrant, who has been proscribed from France, is not permitted to shelter himself in the inhospitable mountains of Switzerland, where the utmost labour can barely force from the barren ridges, a poor scanty subsistence.
Nations, which are spectators of such scenes, will withdraw their assent to the super-eminent excellence of republican government, and reconcile themselves, as well as they can, to the evils of the old governments. Happy will it be, if the ignorance and madness of the French reformers should not suspend the general regeneration of Europe for an age to come!—(Minerva.)
INSPRUCK, August 21.
An official report has been published here, containing in substance what follows—
Field marshal count Wurmser has directed Baron de Melcamp, quarter-master general, who only left the head quarters at Trent on the 19th instant, and is since arrived here, to promulgate the consolatory news, that the Imperial Italian army had
taken to advantageous a position from Port to Trent, as to enable it to render abortive every hostile attempt. Mean time the archduchess Maria Elizabeth has left Inspruck, and all her important effects have been embarked. The archives and all important records and writings belonging to government are removed; and the families of many officers of state begin to take flight. These are mere measures of precaution, because of the epidemic disorder which rages among the French. The garrison of Mantua, which is supplied with fresh troops and a vast quantity of provisions, the measures of the defence already adopted, and the strong assurances of field marshal Wurmser, leave us no apprehension of immediate danger. The fortress of Kuffstein has been provided with a sufficient garrison, heavy artillery, and provisions for one year.
TYROL, August 28.
The head quarters of field marshal Wurmser are now removed from Trent to Botzen, where all preparations are made for his reception. The cavalry, for want of forage, will be obliged to go back much farther. The districts before Botzen, are not very mountainous, but behind that place rise the mountains which will serve to defend the country. It is here the army of Wurmser is concentrating with all the volunteers; but in order to be able to maintain himself in that position, it is necessary for the field marshal that the corps in his rear should prevent the French from penetrating from the side of the country of Verailberg and Bavaria. The progress of general Moreau seems to become dangerous, as he appears to come into the field marshal's rear.
It is this instant reported, that general Buonaparte, after taking possession of Roveredo, is marching to Trent, and that part of the French column, which penetrated by the Lake of Constance, is directing its march against Inspruck, by the valley of the river Inn.
On the 24th, the French penetrated from hence over the Lech into Bavaria, took a great many pieces of cannon, and between two and three thousand prisoners. This day all the remaining French soldiers march into Bavaria, and only leave a few hundred men here. Owing to the armistice concluded, we may consider ourselves as perfectly safe.
AUGSBURG, August 26.
On the 22d inst. about 11 o'clock in the morning, the French entered this city. The Austrians who were hitherto on the Lech; retreated to Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, while their reserve remains stationary on the Ilm.
A deputation of our Senate went to meet Gen. Moreau, who received them in the most affable and friendly manner, and alighted at the sign of the three stars. The French are still in pursuit of the Austrians who were in Suabia. There was till an Imperial, who near Lechfeld; on the 23d, thirty thousand French troops, under generals St. Cyr, Legrand and Le Courbe, marched to that district to expel the Austrians from Lower Bavaria. In an action which happened a few days ago near Ratisbon, the Austrians lost a great number of men. Among the French troops there are some of the finest and the best made fellows ever seen. The corps of general Moreau, who commands the centre in these environs, amounts to 45,000 men; his left wing was combined, through Donawerth in the environs of Archstadt, with general Jourdan, and the right wing advances against Munich and the frontiers of Tyrol.
Official Bulletin sent by his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, to the Austrian Commissary at Ratisbon.
Head-Quarters at Sulzbach,
August 25.
Having received intelligence, that the corps of the army under the command of the general of artillery, Count Wartenleben had been again obliged to retreat, and that the enemy had effected some matches, to enable them to reach the Danube before his royal highness; his royal highness hastened by forced marches to the relief of the said general of artillery, and attacked on the 22d and 23d inst. the enemy's right wing under the command of gen. Bernadotte, near Teiningen, and Neumarkt, and turned it entirely. In consequence of an order for a general attack on the 24th, given afterwards to the general of artillery Count Wartenleben, his royal highness attacked on the same day, gained the road from Neumarkt to Amberg, united himself with Count Wartenleben near Amberg, attacked there the main body of the enemy's under the command of the commander in chief Jourdan, and repulsed it. The enemy lost near 3000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners, two stand of colours, and several pieces of cannon. At the same time his royal highness in order to threaten the flank and rear of the enemy, gave orders to a strong column to march from Neumarkt straight to Nuremberg, which column according to the reports just received, has advanced through Nuremberg, and Erlangen, as far as Bayerdorf, and captured at Nuremberg several pieces of cannon and ammunition waggons and took besides many baggage waggons and prisoners. The Electorate Palatine fortress of Rothenbach, occupied by the enemy, surrendered to Field Marshal Lieutenant Hotze, on which occasion the garrison gave themselves up prisoners of war, and eight pieces of cannon were taken.
BALTIMORE, October 24.
Jourdan, it appears, has met with a second defeat, and Moreau another victory. There seems in this, something like another crossing of the Rhine affair, between the two generals, to give the latter an opportunity of passing the Danube, and securing its banks, down to the river Inn; from which to Vienna is only about 50 miles, and no other river sufficiently large, in the least to retard the march of a victorious army. If this be the object of Jourdan's feigning a defeat, our next advices will very probably inform us of the total rout of the army both of the archduke and Wartenleben, by the former, and of the running of parallels before the walls of Vienna, by the latter;—and that (Mantua being taken) the whole army of Italy is called to
their assistance to make a finishing stroke, and plant the tree of liberty in the palace-yard of the emperor. But if Jourdan has been absolutely defeated, to the extent asserted in the London papers, and lost 15,000 men, Moreau's successes will turn out disasters, and neither he nor Jourdan can promise themselves the least security, until encamped once more on the right bank of the Rhine. Such is the ardour with which Austrians may fight when Austria is the object of an enemy; and such is the success that generally attends the last efforts of desperate patriotism.

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most superfluous indispensability. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry. coo

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intitled an Act in addition to an Act, intitled "An Act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital (and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then adde-dated, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock." All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz: KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that do make, constitute and appoint my true and lawful At- torney, for me, and in my name, to receive the dividends which are, or shall be payable according to law, on the (here describing the stock) standing in my name in the books of (here describing the where the stock is credited) from (here insert the com- mencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also an attorney or attor- nees under him, for that purpose to make and substitute, and to do all lawful acts requisite for effecting the premises, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said Attorney or his substitute, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.
