[Translated for the (N. Y.) MINERVA.]
PARIS, July 11.
They talk of a considerable armament preparing at Brest for an expedition, the object of which is not positively known. A citizen just arrived from thence, and who staid there 6 days assures us that there is no less than 90,000 men engaged in it. The pacification in La Vendee, and in the country of the Chouans, gives to the government thousands of men, of whom they are resolved to make a good use. They are determined to strike while the iron's hot. Englishmen, we will have our revenge!
It is without doubt, for the purpose of being at least once faithful to its title, that the Journal of Patriots of '89 , reports with interest the homage paid to La Fayette, at the entertainment which took place the 17th Messidor, in memory of the anniversary of the day on which the Americans declared their independence. It should be remembered, that La Fayette is only so horribly persecuted in the dungeons of Austria, because he has honorably concurred in the French revolution. It should be recollected how frightful it is to suffer a man to perish in a bastille, who is only confined there for having served the cause of liberty. He only asks to live in America, not to afford him the means, would be to second the fury of England, Austria, and the emigrants. (L'Eclair.)

"GENERAL."
"Every thing goes on better and better, and in the districts of Hennebont, Faouet, Pontivy, Josselin and Ploerin, astonishingly well. Gen. Mermet has already announced to me the finding of 1900 muskets, 30 sabres at least, 20 pair of pistols, good and bad, 3 bbls. of gun-powder, 2 culverins and 5000 cartridges in Josselin alone. I have been assured, that there has been already discovered more than 800 muskets at Pontivy, 500 at Faouet, and near 300 at Hennebont."
"Georges and Allegre, chouan chiefs, informed, that in the district of Roche-des-Trois, the operations had been very relax, not on the part of the ci-devant chouan chiefs of those countries, but in consequence of the apprehensions with which wicked persons had inspired the peasants, set out this morning with Adj. Gen. Valcutin, and have promised, that their endeavors should not be fruitless. (Signed) QUANTIN."

General Auguste Mermet's letter, to Gen. Hoche, Josselin, 12 Messidor, June 30.
"At length, General, the arms and ammunition of the haughty Bretons of Morbihan, are in our arsenals. More than 2000 fuzils, 30 pair of sabres, 20 pistols, 2 culverins, 3 barrels of powder, and 5000 cartridges, have been given up in my circle."
"I collect here all the deserters and emigrants, to send them under convoy to Rennes, there to await your ultimate orders. Of the latter there are very few."
"The war is finished, I may dare to say. These six days past, since the disarmament commenced, our soldiers and citizens travel singly upon the roads. All the refugees are gone home, and not a single accident has occurred."
"The priests, not emigrant and banished, protest to me, that they will incessantly preach peace in the country: they, as well as the former native leaders of the chouans, assure me, that if any wretches shall present themselves in the country, upon view of ravage, they will have them seized, and conducted here, bound upon waggons."

July 19 (18 Thermidor.)
A part of the camp of Grenelle having manifested some symptoms of mutiny, especially by refusing to receive mandats in payment, the camp was almost entirely raised this morning, at 4 o'clock. These troops are sent to Vincennes; it appears that they are to be replaced by soldiers from the camp at that place.
One Massiez, in Paris, at the place of victory, has formed an institution, which bids fair to confound the stock jobbers, and aid commerce, if it should ever prosper. The object is to discount good paper, at a moderate interest, and to receive deposits gratuitously, and sell of them the value at night, upon order or acceptance payable at his house.
Letters from Germany assure us that a body of French troops are passing, by forced marches, the country of the Grisons, and that they may not violate the neutrality of the country, armies of men are transported on carriages. Should this be true, no doubt this corps moving from the lake of Constance, whence they can easily effect a junction with the army of General Moreau.
IN THE COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED, 18 Thermidor, July 19.
Boulogne, in the name of a committee of seven,
reported on the institution of a high court of justice for trial of members of the Directory and Legislative Body. He proposed that this court should consist of 16 members and 14 jurors. The accused to have the right of challenging 30 jurors, within 24 hours after the list should be presented to them. The national accusers (attorneys general) not to have a right of challenge, without assigning their reasons of the sufficiency of which the court is to judge. The accused to designate their witnesses, within three days after their interrogatory. The decisions of this court not to be subject to appeal to any other tribunal; and to be attended neither with a substitute nor commissary of the Directory. Ordered to be printed and adjourned.
Bailly d'Anglas was chosen president; Ruelle Passet, Barailon and Borne, secretaries.
The council decreed, that provisionally one half of the maintenance of the public functionaries should be paid in corn at 10 francs (livres) the quintal, or the representative value.
They have resolved also, that the officers of the customs shall receive specie for duties, or their representative value. But the first resolution was rejected by the Council of Elders, as placing their officers in a worse situation.
The Council of Elders, admitting urgency, passed unanimously the resolution, diminishing the tax on the conveyance of Journals and other papers.
The ambassador of Tunis to the court of London, passed through Paris, and was treated with great civility, as well as pomp, by the minister of the interior. On his visit to the minister, he was received in the gallery of the hotel of the interior, and with his suite seated on sofas in the midst of the minister's family. Vases and flower boxes were arranged around the room, all glowing with perfumes. The banquet consisted of sherbets, fruits, ice-creams, &c. Many tables were spread for the ladies, who embellished the company. At the close of the entertainment, the minister presented to the ambassador a box containing a collection of arms, manufactured at Versailles, a carbine, elegantly mounted pistols, holsters, &c.
This manufacture of arms at Versailles, established by the minister when commissioner of arms, exceeds any other fabric of the kind in Europe. The arms unite perfection and beauty with the richness of the East, and the ambassador declared he had never seen any thing more perfect than the articles presented him.
The gates of the garden were open, and bands of music entertained the company, who took a walk in the garden. One might read on the countenance of the ambassador, whose physiognomy is mild and indicative of genius, a most lively impression of pleasure and sensibility. He then entered the minister's cabinet, where were exhibited pictures, statuary, vases, and other monuments of the arts.
The Council of Elders have approved and converted into a law, a resolution granting to every person entire freedom of contracting and receiving what he pleases in payment, without however enabling him to refuse mandats, according to their current value, on the day and at the place, where the payment shall be made.
This resolution admits the depreciation of mandats indefinitely, which are abandoned to their fate like other paper currencies. These measures are a consequence of the flood of specie poured into France from the states of Italy, collected by Buonaparte's exactions. A free trade has also received confidence there, as formerly in America, and the gold and silver which had been concealed during the existence of tender laws, again appear in circulation.
Extract of a letter from citizen Haussman, commissioner of the government near the army of the Rhine and Moselle, to the Executive Directory. Head-Quarters at Bichelle, 20th Messidor, (July 9.)
I have just seen the commander in chief, who slept with me here but a moment, and returned to Baden.
Nothing of consequence has taken place since the important affair which made us masters of Rastadt. General Ferino has occupied the residence of Cardinal Rohan. General St. Cyr occupies Frenderstatt. His patrols go to the banks of the river Neckar. Prince Charles of Austria, who was at the affair of Rastadt with a numerous reinforcement, was not saved by the succours he brought, from the shame of being beaten. He hardly knows which way to turn his head.
HAUSSMAN.
A letter from the same to the same. Head-Quarters at Bichelle, 22d Messidor, (July 11.)
Citizens Directors,
The divisions under the command of generals Delaunay and St. Cyr, had a battle with the enemy yesterday on the plain beyond Rastadt, and in the defiles in advance of the Guebelsbach. The enemy had sent thither all their forces; our troops have vanquished them—have killed and wounded a great many men, taken 1300 prisoners, and one piece of artillery.
The enemy had received considerable reinforcements, and it even seems that they had ordered some of the troops to the Tyrol; notwithstanding this, they have been obliged to fall back behind Dourlach.
Our troops will not give the enemy a moment's quiet. The commander in chief is indefatigable.
Health and respect,
HAUSSMAN.
CALAIS, 13th July (25th Messidor.)
The Commissary of the Executive Directory, with the Municipal Administration of the Canton of Calais, to citizen Carnot, President of the Executive Directory of the French Republic.
Citizen President,
I have just obtained certain proof that the English government, to pay its subsidies to Austria, to the rebels of La Vendee, and the factions of the interior, has been fabricating an immense quantity of counterfeit Louis, worth only 21 livres. They
are well made; the alloy is the same as in the true, and the only difference is in the size of the coin, which is smaller by an eighth.
I have procured one of these pieces to use for comparison; I have recommended to the Custom-house to guard against receiving any of them; I have written to the Minister of the Police; but it would be very useful to give the public official notice, to be on their guard against this false money.
Health and respect,
(Signed) PIGUALT MAUBAILLAY.
HOLLAND.
MIDDLEBURG, June 9.
A Fast Day, to be kept in this place, having been resolved on, a proclamation to that purpose was yesterday issued, and is thus singularly prefaced:
The President and Council of Middleburg to their Fellow Citizens
"Health and brotherhood!
"If we attempt to persuade you that our city and land were not in a precarious situation; that the fundamental doctrines of liberty and equality had not brought us to a pinnacle of lustre, which might fruitlessly be sought for in our annual chronicles; that the difficulties which the citizens have encountered, being removed, their prosperity was now become perfect; would you not suspect that we strove to conceal the actual state of things? Would not the confidence that you have in us, quickly change into suspicion and distrust?
"Although conquered by a powerful neighbour, through whose generosity, and the blessings of God, we remain a people, is not a review of the present circumstances disheartening and mournful? The wars, to which we have been surprised; the internal dissensions, still worse than war; the loss of many valuable possessions in the East-Indies; the critical situation of those in the West; the sources of subsistence obstructed; the inhabitants impoverished by contributions; the decline of commerce; the diminution of the manufactures; all tend to exhibit but too true and too melancholy a picture of our fallen country!—And the incompatible exactions, the extraordinary exertions bestowed on the marine, the uncommon addition made to the land forces, the solemn summoning of all burghers to defend their country; is it not so many tokens of distress? so many proofs of danger; so many evident signs of the chastising hand of Godlike justice?
"But from whence came these miseries? and where must we enquire for the sources? In ourselves, brethren! They originate in our punishable ambition, in sordid interest, or detestable voluptuousness, in despising all the virtues that contribute to render society happy, in degenerating from religion and morality; and, more than all, to our disunion and party-rancour, that, like an eating cancer, has unhallowed the body of our State, and brought it to a skeleton.
"Should we, then, remain indifferent spectators of these accumulating evils, and not endeavor to remove them? Always, seeing a friend or relation in dangerous circumstances, do we not, in spite of our reliance on medicinal aid, direct our eyes and our hearts towards heaven, beseeching God to communicate the means of recovery? And, burghers! should we not then, to preserve our country, which is the friend of us all, that is our mother, who has the most sacred claim to our love, offer up, unanimously, our prayers to the Almighty Deliverer, imploring his aid and protection?
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Fifty fifth Sitting.
The President announced, that the Commission for foreign affairs had received an official communication from Admiral Lucas, confirming the report of the capture of 25 English ships by the Batavian fleet.
The President next announced next announced to the assembly the departure of the second battalion of the 7th demi-brigade, and likewise that the Commission for foreign affairs had proposed, that the garrison of the Hague should in future consist of one battalion of French troops, two battalions of Dutch infantry, a detachment of French hussars, and a corps of artillery, forming a force of 22,000 men.
LONDON, June 4.
Thursday, according to annual custom, all the charity children, in and round the metropolis, to the amount of 9000, of both sexes, assembled in St. Paul's Cathedral, and heard divine service. The spectacle was truly exquisite and sublime.
On Wednesday an action was brought in the court of common pleas, to recover 100l. being the deficiency and expenses upon the re-sale of an estate purchased by Mr. Castle the defendant, from Mr. Howard the plaintiff, which he refused to complete, alleging that he had been imposed upon at the first sale. It appeared, that different bidders had been employed by the seller to keep up the price. Upon this, the court were unanimously of opinion, that bidders being employed on the behalf of the seller to keep up the price, was a fraud upon the public, and therefore rendered the sale void altogether.
In the court of common pleas on Thursday, an action was tried, Herbert versus Hervey, of some importance to the trading world. It was brought by the assignees of a bankrupt to recover a large sum of money, being the amount of a debt due from the bankrupt to the defendant, and which he had paid him a few days prior to his bankruptcy. The counsel for the plaintiff contended, that if any debt was paid by a tradesman, in contemplation of his becoming a bankrupt, with a view to bestow an undue preference to a particular creditor, such payment, according to the spirit and meaning of the bankrupt laws, was an illegal payment, and the assignees had a right to recover the sum so paid for the benefit of all the creditors. 1. being proved, that the debt had been paid a few days previous to, and in contemplation of the bankruptcy, the jury, under the direction of the learned judge, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole sum.
July 15.
A singular circumstance happened off the Isle of Wight last Monday. The Dolphin pilot cutter, of Hastings with nine men, observing a French privateer capture a trading vessel, bore down upon them, on which the privateer (not liking her appearance) stood off, and the Dolphin coming along tide the vessel, the men, (having neither arms nor ammunition) armed themselves with mop sticks, and a fire poker; immediately grappled the vessel, boarded her, overcame the Frenchmen whom they had been put on board, seized and carried her into Ryehouse. She turned out to be the Caenarvon. The Captain, his wife, child, and sister, who were on board, heartily thanked their deliverers. It is a fact, seriously to be regretted, that the Admiralty refuse letters of marque to the vessels on this coast, which, if granted, would greatly contribute to the protection of the coasting trade, and keep off the privateers which infest it. There is no doubt, but had the Dolphin a few muskets only, she would have taken the privateer also.
The Empress of Russia's declaration to the king of Prussia and the Emperor, that to prevent their scandalous disputes about the settlement of the frontiers of West Galicia and South Prussia, she will be forced to march an army to take possession of the disputed places, merely to keep the peace, reminds us of the fable, where a monkey arbitrates between two cats, who had stolen a quantity of cheese, and after greatly diminishing the lump, by eating alternately from either side, in order to distribute impartial justice, at length retains the remainder for the trouble of settling the difference.

LADY JERSEY.
The following is handed about as a copy of a letter sent by the Countess of Jersey to the Princess of Wales, on the occasion of her Ladyship's resignation:
To Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales.
"I seize the earliest opportunity in my power to have the honour of informing your Royal Highness, that I have this day obtained permission of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to resign into his hands the situation of Lady of the Bed-chamber in your Royal Highness's family; a situation which I had the honour of being appointed to by him at the same time with the rest of those ladies who comprise your Royal Highness's household.
"The same duty and attachment which I shall ever be proud in professing for his Royal Highness, and which induced me to accept of that appointment, urged me to obey his commands in retaining it a long time after the infamous and unjustifiable paragraphs in the public papers rendered it impossible for a person of the rank and station I hold in this country, indeed for any woman, possessing the honest pride of an English woman, to submit to hold a station which was to make her the object of a dark and designing calumny. Upon mentioning my earnest request to his Royal Highness for my instant resignation, he represented to me that such a step would not only be regarded as a confirmation of every absurd and abominable falsehood that had been so industriously fabricated for the present purposes, but that it would be further promoting the views of those who had so wickedly laboured to injure his Royal Highness in the public mind, and, through him, to degrade the Royal Family. But the moment is now arrived when I can with propriety withdraw myself from such persecution and injustice, with the conscious satisfaction of knowing that, by my silence and forbearance, I have given the strongest proof of my duty to the Royal Family, and of that respectful attachment and gratitude to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, which can never end but with my life.
"I am, Madam, with all possible respect, your Royal Highness's most humble servant, &c."
DUBLIN, June 20.
This age was very unaptly called by Mr. Burke an age of mediocrity; for it seems to be remarkable for extraordinary things; and amongst them, for nothing so much as the production of human phenomena. Dumourier has been followed by hundreds of the same stamp on the Continent; poor Ireland furnishes but one unprecedented man, but his excellence lies in the arts of peace, which may be accepted as some atonement for our barrenness in other respects.
This is no other than Count Rumford. He is a sort of noble mechanic, or mechanic noble; custom gave him a title, and nature inquisitiveness; which last has induced him to look into the most minute things. He has taught the beggars in Chancery how less meat will make more broth; and that one third of the fire used in the process is more than enough. He has contributed to the wealth of our cottagers also, in diminishing their expenses, by shewing them how to manage with a third less fuel, that is, one sod of turf instead of three on their hearth; and to their comfort by his plan for curing smoky chimneys, when they shall build them, for at present most of them have none. Government have already rewarded his exertions with an office in the Castle, although the necessary appendage of a place remains yet to be added to it, which renders him still more a singular man; for however there may be placemen without offices, there is no instance of office without place.

PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1796
MARRIED, on the 20th inst. by the Rev. Mr. Annan, Mr. JAMES JOHNSTON DENOON, to Miss ELIZABETH FORSYTH, both of this city.
On Saturday, the 17th of the present month, were interred, the remains of DEBORAH MORRIS, daughter of Anthony C. Morris, at Gable Hall, in the vicinity of this city. — If to a form given by Heaven to command affection — to a disposition calculated to command affection — to a genius, very early unfolded and cut off by the anguish of severe disease — any thing else could be added — it was at her grave, where sobs and sorrowing tears marked pathetically the high estimation in which she was held by many affectionate mourners.
DIED, on Monday, the 19th inst. Miss SUSAN HAZLEWOOD, daughter of Captain John Hazlewood, of this city, and on Wednesday her remains were interred in St. Paul's church yard, attended by a number of weeping relatives and friends. This young lady's amiable deportment, during her short pilgrimage, endeared her to all her acquaintance, and as she lived beloved, so she died sincerely lamented.
At a meeting of a number of citizens at Mr. Dunwoody's Inn, on the 21st inst. it was unanimously agreed to recommend to their fellow-citizens the following Tickets, for their support at the next election:
 Governor, Thomas Mifflin.  Senators, Nathaniel Newlin, of Delaware county.  Assembly, George Latimer, Laurence Keckel, Jacob Hiltzheimer, Robert Waln, Francis Gurney, Joseph Ball. 
By order of the meeting. LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH, Chairman. M. KEPPELE, Sec'y.
A letter from Detroit, of August 13, says, that Michilimackinac is evacuated by the British, and will, in the course of two weeks, be occupied by our troops.
We hear that Mr. C.W. Peale has obtained a patent for his invention of a Wooden Bridge of very simple structure, which needs no scantling to support an arch of any length desired. It may be consequently light and airy, and yet made equally strong, with those constructed with heavy timbers and numerous braces.
An invention, which needs neither scantling nor the cost of mortising and tenonning, promises to be a great saving of expense in the construction of wooden bridges; especially as it is said it can be made without much difficulty by any common workman.
ENCOURAGEMENT TO FARMERS TO IMPROVE THEIR STOCK.
On the 3d inst. were sold by Harry Dorsey Gough, of Baltimore, Nine Bull Calves, which are from a cross of the famous Mr. Bakewell's Breed and the Lincolnshire, at the following prices:
 1 of 7 months old, black and white, for 195 dolls.  1 of a year old, do. for 110  1 of 7 months, do. for 110  1 of 6 months, do. for 100  5 others, of 6 months old, for 90, 55, 50, 50, & 40 dollars each. 
The above gentleman, a few months ago, sold a Bull for 200 dollars, which weighed one thousand and twenty-two pounds. — If these great weights and prices can be obtained by improving the breed of cattle, it is well worth the attention of Farmers who feed and raise flock. A number of gentlemen in Maryland, we are informed, have associated for the purpose of importing the best flock that can be met with from England, which cannot fail to be of great service to this country.
Ancona, of which the French have lately taken possession, and which, by the armistice lately concluded with the Pope, they are to retain until the end of the war, will prove an important acquisition; as the cruisers they will be enabled to fit out from that port will probably make rich captures, and greatly distress the British Levant trade. Ancona is a very ancient town of Italy on the gulf of Venice. As commerce has rapidly increased of late years, Pope Clement XII having made it a free port and built a mole, on the ruins of the ancient one of the Emperor Trojan. Near this stands his triumphal arch, next to the Maison Quarree of Nimes, the most entire monument of Roman magnificence at present in existence.
Leghorn however will prove a far more important acquisition, as the exclusion of their enemies from that port must be a great blow to them. The British will now be confined to Gibraltar and the ports of Corsica.
Leghorn was a free port, and merchandise brought there was never inspected, the officers of the city taking great care that the trade of the city may meet with no interruption. There is hardly a finer harbor in the Mediterranean. It is 145 miles N. W. of Rome.
A clause in the treaty with the Pope stipulates, that 500 manuscripts shall be delivered up. As these are to be chosen by the French themselves, there can be little doubt but the most rare and valuable will be selected. This circumstance will probably occasion not a little speculation, and expectation will be on the gape after some wonderful disclosure. It is well known that an immense number of manuscripts have been collected and deposited in the Vatican from Arragon and various parts of Italy and Greece at different periods.
Nothing very interesting to the literary world has ever been divulged. Now that they are likely to pass into the hands of a more inquisitive people, we may possibly be treated with many precious disclosures.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO,
IN the Aurora of last Friday, the British treaty, a supreme law of the land, declared by the signature and proclamation of the representative of the whole nation, the supreme executive of the Union, the voices of two-thirds of the representatives of the sovereignty of the States, and the assent of a majority of the representatives of the people, is CURSED!
How far it is reconcilable with the principles of Republicanism, or the duty of a good citizen, to curse a supreme law of the land, I shall not pretend to determine. If the treaty by a majority of one only, had been rejected, cursing on the other side would have been called treason against the majority of the people.
We may see by this sample what manner of spirit actuates the faction whose domination the good people of the United States have so often, and hitherto so favorably escaped.
The Constitution and the Laws are considered by the faction as a nullity whenever they contravene their machinations and designs. Did they really respect the people whom they pretended to idolize, would they insult their understanding by cursing a law ratified by the constituted authorities, the freely elected representatives of the people? Would they curie a solemn compact of the nation with another, which nation has already given the lie to their predictions by fulfilling stipulations that this faction repeatedly declared they never would comply with, if they did not consider the people that "swinish multitude," which they have so repeatedly and falsely charged the friends of government with denouncing them? No, they would not. As this faction, therefore, are the only persons in the United States that ever used the opprobrious epithet when speaking of the people, it is now evident, beyond contradiction, that they are the only persons that ever entertained so contemptuous an idea of them.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. EDITOR,
AS I was passing through one of the principal streets in the city; my sensibility was shocked beyond measure, at the barbarous conduct of a Cartman towards his horse. The poor beast was hauling a very heavy load up a small rise of ground, in which lay a stone of uncommon size, and against which, one wheel of the cart was set; the horse (for I viewed him with critical attention) made several ineffectual efforts to surmount the obstacle; he strained until his laborious breathing was painful to the ears of those who stood at a distance; and his inhuman master, instead of giving him time to recover his breath and strength, or of removing the stone, turned the butt-end of his whip, which was the size of a small sapling, and beat the horse over his head and eyes, until the sweat flowed from every pore, and the poor animal in an agony of distress, groaned most bitterly.
God of compassion! cried I, is it thus the works of thy hands are made the sport of mans cruelty! Is this the reward which the faithful and laborious brute is to receive for his painful servitude? Was it for the gratification of the malignant passions of human nature, that the benevolent creator of the universe, placed man as Lord of his lower works, and made the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, subservient to his pleasure and delight?
This cruel practice is daily increasing in our streets, and when I have seen the attention of strangers arrested by scenes as above described, I have blushed for the place that gave me birth, and silently asked myself, whether these men could be the descendants of the humane and philanthropic Penn. I am not a professional Quaker, and yet I confess I have ever been pleased with that part of their religion, which imposes on its votaries, a sacred regard to the rights of hospitality and humanity, whether they respect man or beast.
The painful sensibility experienced by those, whose feelings are not callous to every sentiment of humanity, is not the only evil which results from this abominable and hellish practice; but the effect which it has on the tender and impressionable minds of children, before whose eyes the exhibition is daily and hourly made, is of a more serious and important nature. — Man is an imitative animal, and from the reverence with which a child looks up to those who are farther advanced on the stage of life, (in capable himself of investigating causes and principles,) he considers every action and thing done and performed, as a fit object of imitation. — Hence arises that propensity to cruelty, exercised by children towards the puny tribes of animals and insects, they cannot torture a horse, but they can murder a fly. And the young mind becoming familiarized to acts of barbarity, both by example and practice, loses that tender sympathy, that keen sensibility at another's woe, which is at once the highest ornament of human nature, and the productive source of numerous blessings and felicities in private and social life.
May it not be expected from the enlightened policy of the present day, that some measures will be devised and adopted, that will at least check, if not completely eradicate, a practice which is disgraceful to the character of men and of christians.
The writer of the foregoing remarks, invites the attention of his fellow-citizens to this interesting subject, and he flatters himself, that the cause of humanity will never want advocates in a country, professing a religion, which inculcates upon its followers a sacred and conscientious regard to the dictates of mercy, justice and benevolence.
STOCKBRIDGE, September 12.
Description of a very singular atmospheric phenomenon, as seen at Stockbridge, and several neighboring places, on Thursday, September 1, 1796. The description is as nearly accurate, as could be given, by the judgment of an observer.
Between the hours of 3 and 4, P. M. the sun became gradually encompassed, by a circle, or halo, of usual size and appearance. Directly under the sun, was a mock-sun, in which was nothing remarkable, unless it were its unusual situation. In the mean time, the sun became intersected, at the centre, by the segment of a white, luminous circle, exactly parallel with the horizon; which continued extending until within a few degrees of meeting, at the point opposite the sun, in the east. Above, on either side, at north and south, were two large segments of circles, which, continued, would have intersected each other, and the before mentioned circle, at the sun and opposite point, obliquely, making, on either side, an angle of 12 or 15 degrees. In these, the differently colored rays of
light were diversified, the red rays appearing on the interior side of the curve. Above the sun, and exterior to the halo, were two segments of circles, of somewhat larger size than the halo, and containing each, about 40, or 45 degrees. These came in contact, each with the other, and obliquely with the halo, directly above the sun, so as to form, on either side, an angle of about 30 degrees. Still higher, about the distance of 45 degrees from the sun, and parallel with the halo, was another segment of a circle. In this and those last mentioned, the colours were separated, and the red rays interior. On either side of the sun, at north and south, about the distance of 45 degrees, was the segment of a rainbow inverted. Each of these began, at a small distance above the horizon, and included about 25 or 30 degrees; — red rays on the exterior of the curve.
Previously to the above described phenomenon, there had been little or no rain, for several weeks, so that, at this time, the drought was severe. The weather was warm as usual, for the season. At the time of the phenomenon, few clouds were visible, and those very small. The atmosphere, however, was suffused with a thin vapour, which dimmed the brightness of the sky. As the phenomenon disappeared, the vapour increased, attended with a rise of hazy clouds, which so obscured the sun, as to render it nearly or quite invisible before setting. Most of the day following was rainy, the rain falling in moderate showers.
N. B. Any person who can give a satisfactory solution of the above described appearance, will oblige the friends of science by making it public.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
PETERSBURG, (Virg.) Sept. 16.
The following is taken from a London paper of the 18th of July, received by the Iris, arrived at City-Point.
LONDON, JULY 18
It was announced some days ago, that the French intended to establish a direct communication between the army of the Upper Rhine and that of Italy. Kellerman's army appears to be destined to form this junction; and there are accounts which state, that in pursuance of that plan, he has marched from the Vale of Aosta, in order to penetrate through the Val d'Aoste, and the country of the Grisons, to establish himself in the lake of Constance, and take Tyrol in the rear, with a view of forcing the imperial army to abandon that country. This end being attained, he will probably extend a chain of positions to the right, along the lake of Garda, for the purpose of establishing a communication with Buonaparte; and to the left towards Suabia, to enable him to join the right wing of Moreau's army.
If we may credit a letter from St. Gall, of the 26th of last month, inserted in the last Paris papers, he has already crossed the country of the Grisons, and made himself master of Bregentz. It remains to be known, whether the detachments from the Upper Rhine, destined to reinforce the army in Tyrol, have reached the lake of Constance early enough to check Kellerman's further progress; and whether the archduke Charles, who by forced marches is advancing against Moreau, will be able to prevent that general from establishing himself in Suabia.
The French seem to have gained great ascendancy at the court of Constantinople; and the Turks and they have lately mingled their joy in celebrating the victories of the French armies in Italy.
Letters from Constantinople mention, that the Porte is making exertions to augment its navy; that his Catholic majesty has been applied to for the purpose of negotiating a peace between the Turks and the Knights of Malta; and that the French ambassador, in expectation of the aid of the Ottoman power in the Mediterranean, has promised to employ his good offices, to accomplish its wishes.
The letters received from lord Bute by the last Corunna mails, contain the agreeable intelligence, that in consequence of the remonstrance made by his lordship, the Spanish government has countermanded the march of the troops who were ordered to proceed to the lines of St. Roch. This circumstance tends to prove, that the apprehensions of a misunderstanding between our court and that of Madrid, are without foundation.
The mountain of Knabie, where the French have established themselves, is the same height which in the military annals of Gustavus Adolphus, is known by the name of the Swedish Lines, because his army was encamped there in the thirty years war. This position is highly advantageous, inasmuch as it affords Moreau easy means to spread his army all over Suabia. Kehl is four leagues distant from this mountain.
BALTIMORE, September 20.
An anniversary meeting of the Abolition Society, took place yesterday at the Baltimore academy, where an oration, appropriate to the occasion, was delivered by Mr. James J. Wilmer. Many arguments were adduced against the impolicy and barbarity of the custom of slave-holding — a custom which humanity has but too long wept over, but which a future generation will blush to see recorded to the eternal disgrace of their forefathers — of men who fought and bled for "heaven's first gift," but to become tyrants in turn — who could trample down every shackel but that of avarice; and hurl down every despot but themselves! Such inconsistency can never stand the test either of reason or of policy; and the impartial finger of Time will point indignant at it, as one of the blackest spots that ever beclouded the sun of American glory.
It is hoped the Legislature will aid the philanthropic views of this humane institution, and amend several laws which bear unreasonably heavy on the unfortunate blacks, to the disgrace of our penal code. As politicians, they will see the necessity of ameliorating their situation, as far as a humane and good policy can dictate.
NEW-YORK, September 21.
Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated August 26, 1796.
"Dear Friend,
"Every thing here wears a better prospect than of late: The sickness is over, provisions are much cheaper, and we have hopes of fine crops, and are every where successful.
"Jeremie having been attacked by the Brigands in consequence of treacherous communications from within the fort, was gloriously defended by the inhabitants and the British, who chastised them by a slaughter of about 800, obliging their chiefs, Desfournaux and Rigaud to run away with equal shame and precipitation, although their deluded followers are taught to believe them the bravest and greatest generals; indeed it may be so in matters of treachery and intrigue, not in the field of Mars.
"About the same time Count de Bruges, with the Legion de Montalembert, and a large body of other emigrants on the borders of the Artibonite, met Toussaint Louverture, having five thousand infantry and four hundred cavalry under his command, he had been ordered by Sonthonax, with his proclamation, inviting the emigrants and inhabitants to revolt and join him. The brigands, with the greatest confidence, attacked the emigrant troops at Michébalais, but the former totally routed the infantry; a considerable part of the cavalry dastardly ran away, and sacrificed the main body; twelve hundred of which were found dead on the field of battle; the remainder were scattered and died in the woods and drowned in the Artibonite. Major Ogorman writes to me, that he had never seen such a number of dead since hostilities commenced in this island. The pursuit was rapid and truly brilliant, such as to secure a succession of victories. — This defeat enabled the count de Bruges to enter the Spanish colony; distant 7 leagues from Mirebalais, 25 from Cape Francois, 22 from Port-au-Prince and 64 from St. Domingo the capital. When they have taken post at this place, a communication will be opened with St. Domingo, as soon as the British fleet has arrived there, whither I am informed several ships of the line have gone, at the request of its inhabitants.
"On entering the Spanish colony, many of the inhabitants fled, until being apprised of the respect paid and protection given to those who remained at their homes; when they all returned and took the oath of allegiance to his Britannic Majesty.
"Count de Bruges speaks of his army as composed of real heroes, and with great plaudits of Major Ogorman, hoping his majesty will ever be as well served by his new and faithful subjects, as on the late successful events, commencing at Michébalais. — Vanvou, who a year ago was in goal for high treason, has made his escape, it is said was the head of a party to rise in a revolt at the first appearing of Toussaint's army."

Extract from the Log-Book of capt. Jeremiah Reading of the Schooner Ann, who arrived here on Wednesday last from Antigua.
At sea, in lat. 31, 20, August 20, 1796, at 5 A. M. saw a brig to Leeward, which seemed to steer S. by E. winds at N. E. and light. She soon sprung her jib and hoisted her ensign at her main top-gallant mast head, wanting to speak us. We immediately bore down and perceived she had her boat out. We hailed her, and found it was the brig Nancy of Philadelphia, 8 days from the capes, bound to Port-au-Prince, belonging to Mr. Francis Coppinger, and commanded by William Belfsher, who had jumped over the larboard gang way about 6 o'clock and swam away from the vessel, after having talked to the mate about his taking leave of some of his friends. Before they could get to him with the boat he sunk.
The mate hailed me, and said he wanted to speak to me, if I would be kind enough to heave to, which I did, and went on board of him, and advised him to proceed on his voyage, after finding the brigs papers, which he agreed to: his name is Robert Tate.

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 five per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act "to provide for 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 then remain due, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock." 2d. 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 I do make, constitute and appoint my true and lawful Attorney, 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 books of the Treasury or the Commissioner of Loans, where the stock is credited) from (here insert the commencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also, an attorney or attorneys 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. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the day of in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety six Sealed and Delivered in presence of, BE IT KNOWN, that on the day of aforeme personally came within named and acknowledged the above letter of attorney to be his act and deed. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my Hand and affixed the day and year last aforesaid.

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 completed, 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 supposition indispensable.
