PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 10.
Extracts from a Sermon, preached on the late National Fast Day, by the Right Rev. Bishop WHITE —just published by Mr. John Ormrod.
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers: For there is no power but of God: The powers that be are ordained of God: Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: And they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation. Romans, ch. 13, v. 1, 2."
"UNDER such a government [as ours] to deny the right of expressing private sentiment on the administration of its powers, would be contrary to the liberal spirit which it breathes. But when this freedom is abused to the rendering of rulers odious by misrepresentation and falsehoods; when recourse is had to the low artifices of faction, much more to the outrageous violence of sedition and of treason; or, what is the root of all these evils, when there is an intemperate opposition, disdaining submission to public measures, however unequivocally supported by legitimate declarations of the general will; then it is, that we may apply, without hesitation, the awful censure of my text; and affirm of the persons to whom this belongs, that they "resist the ordinance of God:" and that without repentance and reformation, they will "receive to themselves damnation."
"It is for the preventing and for the correcting of the vicious dispositions which impel to such a conduct, that we are summoned to the duties of the day. For if government relies on the will of God; and if submission to it is the demand of reason and of revelation; there are no sins which should not be repented of, and no bad passions which should not be mortified, not only because of their effect on our condition in another world but as they injure our civil interests in the present. And especially it follows, that we should deplore an encroaching forgetfulness of God, which impairs the influence that ought to flow from a conviction of his presence, a reverence of his perfections, a sense of the obligation of his laws and an apprehension of his judgments. For these have been always the best cement of social life and the best security of public and of private rights; and can never suffer a loss of force, without a proportionate necessity of the arm of power, to accomplish what had been better done by law, by habit, and by affection."
"If ever there was a time, when an extraordinary occasion has occurred, of being awake to such truths as these, it is the present; when a spirit has gone forth, which seeks the demolition of religious principles in every shape; and which glories in the opinion of its inutility, in reference to civil interests and duties. And although this licentious theory bears within itself the seeds of its destruction, in the mischiefs to which it prompts; yet it is impossible to calculate, either the number or the weight of the calamities, of which it may be for a while the cause; and which are therefore chargeable on the confidences of all those, who withdraw themselves from a religious profession and the practice of religious duties."
"If indeed the delusive theory were to rest on its pretended evidence alone, we might hope to find a counterbalance to it, in the dictates of sober reason, in the authority of the wisest statesmen, and in the experience of past ages. But there has arisen before the astonished world a military despotism of a gigantic size, and republican in name, which patronizes the licentious sentiment in the disaffected and the desperate of every country; making it the engine of an ambition without bounds: and which acts by the novel expedients, of a benevolence that knows no pity; or a patriotism that has no respect either to property or to person; of a fraternity that prostrates the independence of nations, and gives them up to plunder; and of boasted improvements in public law, which do away all the expedients of former ages, for the preventing, or the moderating of war. What will be the final result of this united force of hypocrisy and of power, time only can unfold. But it is easy to read the lesson written in it for the instruction of virtuous citizens; on whom it is an additional call to the love and the support of order and an adherence to the ground on which it rests; viz. the will of God and the fashions by which it sustains it in the expectation of a future life. Thus will they contribute to the killing of those seeds of discontent, diffusion, faction and insurrection, against which we are instructed at this time to pray: And thus also will they assist in fortifying every heart and strengthening every hand against the desolating sword of hostile invaders, should it be brought within our borders."
"In regard to different forms of government, men may think differently, according to their respective habits, tempers and education: but as to those other matters, which affect our daily happiness; and which promote, what the apostle mentions as the end of our praying for civil rulers, viz. "the leading of quiet and peaceable lives, in all Godliness and honesty;" it is difficult to conceive of a man's being indifferent to such properties of a free government, and yet that he should entertain a love of moral order and a kindness to his species. The object of government is human happiness: and all improvements which have been found to promote this, by curbing the passions, either of arbitrary rulers or of licentious people, are of the number of those "good gifts which come down from the Father of lights."
"That in the minds of our fellow-citizens in general, there is an attachment to a go-
vernment under which such benefits are enjoyed, we have recent evidence in the zeal with which a late public tumultuous has been obeyed, and by which the objects of it have been carried into full effect. And while I see among you many whom I welcome on their return from an expedition, honorable alike to the commonwealth and to themselves, I can refer to it, as an additional reason for rejoicing in a constitution, by which such a spirit has been excited, and for the sake of which such sacrifices have been made. Nevertheless, with all due value for the love of country thus manifested, I may predict, that it will not be permanent in its effects, unless in union with a sense of that great Being, by whose providence our public mercies have been bestowed, and under whose pleasure they are held. On the present occasion therefore in particular, let them be cherished with thankfulness; and let a preparation be made, for their being enjoyed with virtue: and let the solemnity be instrumental to the exciting in us of such devout sentiments and affections, as shall be to the Divine praise, and to our own benefit, in time and in eternity."
The following Defence of the City against certain absurd and ruinous opinions attempted to be forced down in the face of reason and common sense, is again published, to correct several errors which occurred in the first publication of it.
For publication in the True American. MR. BRADFORD,
IN your paper of this morning, (May 3) I read a piece entitled, "Errors in the Account of the Yellow Fever of the United States, by a London Physician," published in the True American of May 1st."
The first Error stated by this anonymous Author is 1. He says, "The Yellow Fever never appeared in the United States before the year 1760."—The London Physician says, "In the year 1760 during the French War the Yellow Fever first appeared in Philadelphia ;" now here appears the candor of the maker of these Errors in substituting " the United States " for " Philadelphia ," in order to shew the existence of a pestilence somewhere in America upon the authority of some Indians, who described the disorder to a Mr. Vines, by pointing to a yellow garment, was a proof of this Error.
As another proof of this Error our Philadelphia Physician says—"We have an account of this Fever prevailing with great mortality in Philadelphia and Charles-town in 1699 and in New-York in 1702, and seven or eight times since in different parts of America ."—That this is true may be well known here, but it can scarcely be attributed as an error in the opinion of a London Physician whose ignorance of a fact, not recorded in any general history, cannot, without a very bold figure be called an error. A work published in America in March last, entitled, the History of Pennsylvania , by Robert Proud, vol. 1, page 421, speaking of the Yellow Fever of 1699 says, "This remarkable sickness, which in the latter part of this year had caused a great mortality in Philadelphia , had for some time before been very fatal in the West India Islands ." Now, had the London physician possessed this book, (published since his essay) he would have produced it as a proof of his theory of the foreign origin of the disorder with greater force, than the authority of an Indian's pointing to a yellow garment is of its domestic generation: but though the London Physician is proved not to have known every thing possible to have been known concerning this disorder; yet this does not prove an error in his judgment.
Error 2d.—Our author says, the Yellow Fever has prevailed for several years only in the sea ports of America ." The Philadelphia Physician adds, "this error is refuted by many testimonies of its having prevailed since 1793 in many of the inland Towns and settlements of New-England, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and both the Carolinas ." I have never heard of these testimonies, nor do I believe they were ever exhibited to the public; but I shall answer them by his next error.
Error 3d.—He supposes the Yellow Fever to be equally contagious with the plague." This error is refuted by its not being propagated, in country towns or places, when carried from our cities. It cannot spread beyond the impure exhalations which generate it, except under very uncommon circumstances of filth or predisposing fatigue."
I have here given the very words of two paragraphs of our Philadelphia Physician, following, in order, and if ever one was a complete refutation of another assertion, the latter totally destroys the former; read them over again Mr. Bradford, I cannot make the thing stronger by any modification of the matter or manner of them.
Error 3, again "A 3d Error of this author is, that the exemption of the European cities from the Plague is owing to their quarantine Laws;" [these "may have operated in part"]—[What! against domestic infection?] "but the chief cause of the cessation of their pestilential calamities has arisen from the total change which has taken place in the diet, dress, manners, construction of houses and police of cities of the inhabitants of Europe since the commencement of the present century."—Now this is as naked and unsupported an assertion as ever was attempted to be palmed upon the public; where is one iota of proof that such a change has taken place? The London Physician speaks as a person who has travelled through the south of Europe, and asserts in the face of thousands of others who reside in London, and by their own knowledge from travelling and innumerable books of travels, to which he implicitly appeals, could have contradicted him if he were wrong, that no such change has taken place any where but in the new built parts of cities; and on the contrary, that the filth of most of the European cities
in climates hotter than ours, yet exceeds all belief of Americans, and he has placed the stress of his arguments on these facts; all of which are to be converted into a double tierian error by the round assertion of this Philadelphia Physician. I beg, Mr. Bradford, that you and your customers will again peruse the performance of the London Physician, in your paper of the 1st inst. to save quotations from it in the present publication.
"4. The fourth and last Error of this author that I shall mention, (though many more might be enumerated) is, that the cities of the United States are kept remarkably clean. This Error is refuted by the smell of Docks, Cellars, Garrets, Common Sewers, Stinking Beef and Fish, Public Coffee, Milk-Dams, Marshy grounds in our Cities and Inland Towns and by the Yellow Fever being EXCLUSIVELY CONFINED TO A SPACE within the reach of putrid exhalations."—This quarto-quintile error is one of the most extraordinary paragraphs that has come under my notice. I pass over the parenthetical for the present in order to give our Philadelphia doctor a question on it after a short notice of the rest of it. And first I would use a proverb in every person's knowledge that "he is an ill bird who defiles his own nest."—This Dr. Smellfungus who discovers all these filths in the clean city of Philadelphia , can he be a citizen long enough resident to be naturalized, has he known the city for the few years pall within which, the most offensive nuisance the Dock has been arched over and converted into one of the cleanest streets we have? Has he attended to the uncommon care taken by the officers of the corporation within the last seven years to remove every kind of filth from our streets and gutters and leave our carriage and footways an admiration to all foreigners of candor for their very extraordinary neatness? Or is he the supporter of a system improvidently ushered into the world ; a pupil "addictus jurare in verba magistri," to support a book that is written and cannot be recalled? And now let me return to the parenthesis—Are not the many more errors which might be enumerated easily soluble without a chemical process into this homogeneous one? That the London physician has erred multifariously in contradicting the opinions of a celebrated Philadelphia physician and of his numerous pupils dispersed through the United States and of all the demisavans who think their reputations established by being of the same opinion (with or without understanding it) that the founder of the doctrine of the domestic origin of the yellow fever in the United States has committed himself to support? I am no physician Mr. Bradford, I am a citizen of Philadelphia who have suffered much loss in my family by the prevalence of the yellow fever in 1793 and since. I lament with the London physician that the disputes and "differences among the physical faculty in America both on the origin, the nature and the treatment of the disease have been prosecuted with an enthusiasm and rancor which has proved one of the severest afflictions which has accompanied it, and has robbed the unhappy sufferers of all the comfort which confidence in a physician is capable of inspiring."—I wish to see these differences reconciled, uniformity of opinion restored among the practitioners, and from thence a revival of that confidence which is essential to the recovery of a patient in this or any other disease. But when we see the acts of the general government to give effect to the quarantine laws of the several states; the acts of the State Legislatures in forming regulations for quarantines; the acts of the Corporations of this city for keeping it clean, and the well-meant endeavors of a foreign physician to alarm and enlighten us, a man who appears by his writings to have resided here a considerable time and particularly during the pestilence of 1793; and who has discovered a great fund of knowledge on the subject, attempted to be turned into ridicule by an anonymous list of errors, without foundation or support; I cannot forbear to lament again over the fallen state of our beloved city, and to recommend for its inhabitants to think for themselves and enquire Why or whence are these things so?
I know nothing of Dr. Mitchell but his name, and less of the London physician, for I never heard him; but I beg my fellow-citizens to peruse the two publications and judge for themselves. The work of the latter was most certainly well intended, and contains a great variety of useful knowledge apparently concentrating in a point, the utility of keeping out foreign infection. The former is referred to by our Philadelphia physician as an answer to and refutation of it: let it be read, Et valeat, quantum valeat potest.

From the Vergennes Gazette.
MR. EDITOR.
I HAPPENED in at neighbor Speculator's as he was reading your last paper to his wife. He had not got half through with my grandmother's remarks before he exclaimed with a kind of vacant, self-conceited sneer, "I can't imagine why they should fill up newspapers with such old fashioned stuff; can any one suppose that, in this polite enlightened age, we want to have the threat-bare, rigid maxims of prudence and economy, inculcated by our puritanical grandmothers, reiterated in our ears?" "I should be very pretty employed," replied his wife. "in spending my time in darned flockings and mending old clothes. I am sure it would be much cheaper to buy new ones; besides, how I should look with patched gowns and petticoats?" "It is not meant for us," rejoined the husband, "it is designed for the vulgar herd, and fit for them only. It is true, said he, the great Dr. Franklin has left us many rules of strict economy which have been read with great eciat by all classes of people, but it was because he was a great philosopher and statesman." Why, Mr. Speculator, cried I, with an honest indignation to hear my ancestor's wholesome rules of prudence and economy despised,
merely because they were old-fashioned and not handed down to us by a philosopher, it is not to be expected that my grandmother's rules or practice could have any effect upon a man of your character; a man, who never deigns to talk or think of any thing less than thousands and cent. per cent. will hardly brook the idea of saving pence, though pence make shillings, shillings pounds and pounds thousands." To talk to you, added I, of the prudent maxims of our forefathers, would be as idle as to preach up the necessity of good order in government to a hardened jacobin or to urge the doctrine of future rewards and punishments to a French atheist. Do you, conceive, said I, that the economic principles of Franklin are entitled to higher veneration than my grandmother's merely because he was a philosopher? Let me tell you, neighbor Speculator, that, although my grandmother did not know how to draw down lightning from the clouds, yet, she knew how to invoke the blessings of heaven upon her children as well as the philosopher of lightning rods. The conversation was here interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Simpleton, who abruptly told Mr. Speculator that the land he had purchased of him, from his recommendation, was good for nothing—that he was cheated in the quality, and he believed the title to be no better than the land—Mr. Speculator replied it was a fair bargain; an altercation ensued, and I left them to adjust the business according to the modern rules of speculation.
Through the cry of " Oh! Tempora! oh! mores! " is in the mouth of every one, yet I am not so great a cynic, as to believe that the people of United America in general are more vicious, more depraved than their ancestors, but that they have departed from many of their simple, prudent practices, which at all times are favorable to competence, health, virtue and happiness, is undeniable: and I am disposed to believe this deviation to have originated in some degree from that unbounded rage for speculation, which has turned so many of our good citizens giddy-headed: " light come, light goes; " " mala pars, mala dilabuntur. " When money comes in by pounds, people seldom think of pence. The ease, with which property has been obtained, for some years past, by speculators, has produced a relaxation of economy in those, who have thus easily acquired it. Had the evil been confined to such it would not be so sensibly felt by the public—But, unfortunately, the poorer class of people in this country have, unwarily, run into a servile imitation of those who have so easily amassed great wealth by speculation. But as money has become more difficult to obtain; as speculation appears to be on the decline, as the poorer people, from their fondness of imitating the rich have involved themselves in debt and are now growing under burdens which their folly and stupidity have brought upon them, it may not be improper to attempt a revival of those homespun, old fashioned maxims of economy, which with the common blessings of heaven, will always ensure competence and ease.
One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the Subscriber, on Tuesday the second of this inst. April, living in Kent county, Maryland, near Chester Town, the following described Negroes, viz. William, about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, a yellowish complexioned fellow, about thirty years of age, formerly the property of doctor William Matthews, he has been very much given to running away, and has been often described in the public papers within this twelve months that any further description of him seems needless.—Jacob, about 6 feet high, a d—d about 32 years of age, of a common Negro complexion, down look, his little finger of his left hand stands straight, occasioned by the cut of a fickle. Patt, the wife of said Jacob, about 27 years of age, a small light made woman of a yellowish complexion, with thick lips for an American of her nature, she is a very good needle woman, and spins on either small or great wheel, and is very handy in any common house work.—Two children of the said Jacob and Patt, the one a male child about four years old, the other a female child about two years old. The above described Negroes took with them, besides their own wearing apparel, three coats, two of which were linsy cloth of a light grey color, beth new; one of the two was a great deal too large for either of the said fellows; the other coat of brown cloth, half worn; three under jackets, one a velvet, another a drab, the other a light colored linsy cloth do, one new pair of Calf skin shoes, lined with linnen and bound with leather, one pair of boots remarkably large in the legs, several pairs of stockings and a silver watch, all stolen: their own wearing apparel as follows:—William had on a light-horse regimental coat worked with silver twill, (which coat he had when he was brought home to me the first of February last, a round tailor jacket (blue) thickest breeches, patched with corduroy in the frise; with other necessary clothing. Jacob, two linsy cloth coats, lead colored, one new the other half worn, blue linsy cloth jackets, half worn, two pairs of linsy cloth trousers, of a lead colour, the one new the other half worn, tolerable good shoes and stockings. Patt has every day clothing, and her children wore home-made linen and linsy, her other clothing not so well known, it is uncertain which court they may take, as William is such an experienced creaker.
Any person or persons apprehending said negroes or founding them, so that their master may get them again, shall be entitled to the above reward, or in proportion for either of them, that is to say, 40 dollars for each of the fellows, and twenty dollars for the wench and children, and if brought home, all reasonable charges paid by

PHILADELPHIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 19.
RASTADT, March 1.
The French deputation have delivered a note to the deputies of the empire, in which they declare, "The march of the army is only to be considered as a measure of precaution imposed by circumstances; that the desire of peace on the part of the French government is still ardent and sincere, and that it will proceed to conclude it with the Empire, provided it shall declare against the march of the Russians. Signed as usual, by Bannier, Debry, and Roberjot."
The Directory, in their proclamation, charge the Emperor with having violated the Convention of 1797, in advancing his troops beyond the Inn; as also of encouraging the march of the Russians. They nevertheless declare, their unalterable desire to maintain peace; and that the measures they have taken, being impelled by the necessity of self defence, shall cease to operate the moment they are informed the Russians have evacuated the Empire.
NUREMBERG, March 1.
The Austrian forces are on their march. The number which will be immediately embodied in Bavaria, will exceed 150,000 men. They will be commanded by the archduke Charles, in person, who is actively employed in concentrating the munitions for repelling the French, with effect.
Expresses have been sent to hasten the march of the Russian columns; who are to be employed immediately. They bear a most inveterate hatred to the French; and from the rigid discipline they have been accustomed to, must prove a valuable acquisition to the army of the empire.
HAMBURGH, March 5.
It is at present reported, that a body of Batavian troops, consisting of 12,000 men, has been marched against this place by the French. This report is, however, little credited, and we have nothing to apprehend for this city.
We can state from official and authentic information, "that his Prussian majesty has taken every possible precaution to prevent the French from attempting such an expedition. He will continue to protect, in the most effective manner, the city of Hamburg in its actual independence, and considers it, with respect to his protection, as constituting a part of his own territories. His majesty is so fully convinced of the great importance of the independence of Hamburg to all the North, &c. that he will protect it with all his authority and his forces. Such an exertion, however, will not be necessary."
LONDON, March 7.
A letter from Amboyna of the 18th July last says, "Our officers have discovered some very curious inscriptions on the rocks at this island, which must of course be very ancient; for they are not even understood by any of the present inhabitants. There is a most remarkable recess in the island of Ceylon, called Talipai, one of whose leaves will cover ten men, and shelter them entirely from the rain. They are very light, and travellers carry them in common from place to place and use them instead of tents. Two ships are expected from Madras to clear our ware houses of the spice, of which we have as much as will serve all Europe for years."
March 14.
Some of the Daily Papers of last week having stated that a dispute of a serious nature had recently occurred in Philadelphia between the British and American Commissioners, convened at that place, under one of the articles of the late treaty, it affords us much satisfaction to be able to contradict such a fabrication which if well founded must have been universally regretted by the real friends of both countries. At the date of the last letters from America the Commissioners were still sitting to adjust the claims of the parties concerned, but no award of any kind had been made.
March 15.
The following is an extract of the defensive treaty, concluded on the 23rd Dec. 1708, between Russia and the Porte:— "Both parties guarantee the Empires of each other against the possessions thereto belonging."
"In case of hostilities by sea and land a gainst either of the contracting powers, they are to fly to the aid of the party attacked, with men, arms or money, or whatever the circumstances may require, to be afterwards arranged between the parties; and the choice of such men, money, &c. to depend on the party attacked. The assistance to be within three months after the requisition, and in money from the commencement of hostilities, and to continue at stated periods during the continuance of the war."
Both parties agree to invite the kings of England, Prussia, and other powers, to accede to this treaty.
Advices had been received at Gibraltar from Palermo, in Sicily, giving an account that previous to the evacuation of the kingdom of Naples, all the Neapolitan ships and the arsenal had been destroyed. One of the Portuguese captains, named Campbell, attached to Lord Nelson's fleet had been tried by a court martial, but the decision not pleasing Lord St. Vincent, he had ordered the sentence to be revised.
Letters for the ship Woodrop Sims, captain Hod son, for London, will be received at the Coffee-House, till next Monday the 13th inst.
The Second Volunteer Troop of Cavalry of the United States, are ordered to meet at the Menage on Saturday next, at 11 o'clock, A.M. in complete uniform.
Jonathan Robeson, Lieut. May 9.
BOSTON, May 6. In addition to our late intelligence from Europe, published in our last, we have the proclamation of the directory to the deputies of the empire, and of gen. Jourdan, commander in chief of the army of Mentz, to his army and soldiers, in which are discovered the same tissue of crooked policy, the same lurid windings of low intrigue, and bold strides of insatiate ambition, covered with the same cob-web garb of Gallic faith, and tinsel varnish of fair promises, which have invariably been the concomitants of the diplomatic agency of this degenerate nation. The rapacious republic of France wishes to fix her devouring fangs on Germany. Some pretext must be found. It is sufficient that the latter, roused from the lethargic slumber into which she has been lulled by the syren song of her foes, and forewarned by the recent and terrible examples of Switzerland and Sicily, is preparing for her own defence. Russian troops are found on her territory; war is declared, and France finds it necessary to invade Germany from the "principles of self defence." The inhabitants of Germany are invited to supply the French army with necessaries, on a directorial promise of reimbursement, to "remain calm in the midst of the storm," and threatened with exemplary punishment in case of opposition. The same measures will probably be pursued with Spain—should the refuse the armies of the republic a passage through her dominions. Thus the "multry leaves" and "false volumes" of the law of nations, like the conjuror's mock ghost, are to be called up and pronounce their dictum, when favorable to French interest; and to sleep in the common grave of law, morals, and religion, when their coercion would lay a restraint on the ambition or rapacity of the all devouring republic. Self defence is the first principle of the law of nature and of nations, and the first crime in the eyes of imperious France.
We are in possession of a letter from a respectable gentleman in the country, which develops some of the base and insidious plans which the Jacobins have adopted to influence the approaching elections. Its length, and our previous engagements, exclude its entire insertion; a succinct statement of the two facts, referred to, we can alone find room for; they are, "that the Jacobins have industriously circulated reports, that the resolve of the General Court, directing the Quarter Master General to call on all persons who have received Fire Arms, loaned by the Commonwealth, to deliver the same to him, within 3 months, or pay 5 dollars for each of said Fire Arms," was a scheme to disarm the militia; and that the clause in the Land Tax Act, which allows to each Supervisor, one half per centum on the monies by him received, meant one half of the tax—that the allowance to the other officers, will swallow up the whole—and that the tax is to fill the pockets of salarymen and pensioners, and thus bribe them to support a corrupt administration. However absurd and ridiculous these reports may appear to rational and reflecting minds, they are nevertheless played off among the credulous with success—and it is much feared, that the next Legislature will shew, the effects of a party, the small in numbers, yet dangerous to our peace and welfare.
BROOKFIELD, (Mass.) May 7.
FRANCIS DANA, the Judge and Patriot. We have been favoured with a prospect of enriching the press with a copy of chief justice Dana's charge to the grand jury of this county; however we regret, in that we are disappointed. It contained a display of that precision in legal information, which has long been conspicuous in the character of the Hon. Judge, a demonstration of the establishment of the common law of England by the constitutions and statutes of the individual states. All who heard him, heard with pleasure, and speak of it with delight to their friends. It would have been an useful lesson of instruction for every father to have read and taught to his listening children. May God, in his infinite mercy long preserve the life and usefulness of this great and good man.
MELANCHOLY.
On a Pond in Wilbraham, on Monday the 29th of April, a pleasure boat with Mr. Gordon Bliss, Mr. Leonard Bliss and Miss Alena Bliss, children of Mr. Levi Bliss; Miss Nabby Merrick, daughter of Dr. Merrick; Miss Polly Warner and a Mr. Johnson, upset and all were drowned. This young company consisted of three gentlemen and three ladies who were out on a party of pleasure. The young ladies were all in the sixteenth year of their age. The bodies of three were taken up on the same day, on which they were drowned, two on the next, and the body of Miss Merrick, has not yet been found, notwithstanding the most diligent and indefatigable search. The other five were interred on the following Thursday. A sermon was preached on the solemn occasion by the Reverend Mr. Backus of Somers. The concourse of the people which this distressing disaster had called together to assist and to sympathize at the solemn funeral, was truly amazing. Imagination can hardly picture a more awful sight, than to behold six young persons sinking at once, in each others arms, into a watery grave. We forbear any eulogies on the amiable virtues which peculiarly adorned the character of these young people, as to their friends their remembrance will be forever; and that the lot of the young, virtuous, and lovely, should be thus untimely and hard, tears tell how they mourn; to others, who know them not, that they are no more is sufficient. So far as the tender sympathy of thousands can alleviate the pangs of parental distress, we trust Mr. and Mrs. Bliss feel a relief
from the controlling balm, who saw, in one unfortunate hour, three darling children snatched from their arms, and summoned hence to the land of eternity.
NEW YORK, May 9.
We are able to state, from the best authority, that John B. Coles, and Richard Hatfield, Esqrs. will have a majority of at least 200 votes in West Chester; and that all the Federal members of Assembly, (except Smith, the best Democrat on the Ticket) will get in by a handsome majority—Yonkers, Greenburgh and Stephen Town (heretofore anti) are rather federal. It is thought Poundridge, North Salem, and Courtlandt are still in a state of delusion.
WASHINGTON, April 30.
COMMUNICATION.
AT the close of the last Session of Congress, the honorable MATTHEW LYON Esq. member from the State of Vermont, applied to the Sergeant at Arms (who settles the members bills for mileage and attendance) to settle his bill for mileage, and attendance during the Session. Mr. Lyon had come to Congress only a very short time before the Session ended, having in the fall of last year been imprisoned in the goal of Vergennes, in the State of Vermont, on a judgment of the Circuit Court there, for SEDITION. But Mr. Lyon had the modesty to demand pay for attendance in Congress during the whole of the Session. The Sergeant at arms thought this claim inadmissible, and would not pass his account without the approbation of the Speaker. Mr. Lyon had so much grace left him as to be ashamed to apply to the Speaker himself; but he had so little grace as to ask another to do that which he knew he ought not to do himself. At his request, the Sergeant at arms mentioned the matter to the Speaker:—The Speaker (like the Sergeant at Arms and every honest man) was of opinion, that Mr. Lyon's claim was inadmissible. Mr. Lyon then claimed mileage from the goal of Vergennes to Philadelphia. The reader is requested to observe, that the goal of Vergennes is farther from Philadelphia than Mr. Lyon's house is. The Sergeant at Arms was again sent to the Speaker:—The Speaker, with all that promptness for which Mr. Dayton is remarkable, replied, "Perhaps the claim is right—Go back and get from Mr. Lyon a certificate, that the goal of Vergennes is his usual place of abode, and that he means to return thither; and on that certificate I will authorize the settlement of his account for mileage as he has presented it."
It is needless to add, that Mr. Lyon did not choose to give such certificate, and Mr. Lyon got only the wages he deserved:—But it may be proper to observe, that two other Bills for SEDITION were cut and dry for Mr. Lyon, on his return to Vermont; and that he chose to retire for shelter with his friend Mason of Virginia; and has lately announced his intention of going to Kentucky.
YORK, (Penn.) May 8.
COMMUNICATION.
AS most of the United Irish lately arrived in this country, have taken pains to convey the idea, that most of the Protestants in the north of Ireland had been engaged in the late rebellion; and particularly, that the Presbyterian Clergy in general, had acted in opposition to government. A regard to truth requires, that the following address, unanimously passed at the last yearly meeting of the Synod of Ulster should be made public. This Synod consists of some hundred ministers, many of whom are eminently respectable, and yet of this body there has been only one punished by death, about six banished, and nearly the same number still in prison. The writer of this paragraph vouches for the truth of the above statement, as also for the authenticity of the following address.
At a meeting of the GENERAL SYNOD of ULSTER, held at Lurgan, the 28th August, 1798; the following ADDRESS to the PEOPLE under their Care was agreed upon, and ordered to be read in their several Congregations.
CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, INFLUENCED by a sincere and affectionate regard for your happiness, temporal and eternal, and by a sense of the obligations we are under to promote, as far as in our power, the welfare of our country, we feel it our duty to address you on the present deeply interesting occasion. Whilst we lament the late disturbance of the public peace, we derive no small satisfaction from the conviction that the great body of the people, with whom we are connected, have given by their conduct, the most decisive proof how greatly they condemned all acts of violence.
With respect to those of our communion who, unhappily, have been led into open outrage and rebellion, we entreat them to reflect dispassionately on their conduct, and to place before their view the melancholy consequences by which it has been followed. On making an appeal to their own hearts they must see and feel that it cannot be justified. So many of their fellow creatures deprived of life, and hurried into eternity, numbers driven from their habitations, without knowing where to seek for refuge, so much property destroyed, and the commerce of the country, in so many respects, injured—these are evils of so much magnitude, as we are confident, must make upon their minds a very deep impression. Men may violate the duty which they owe to themselves and to their Kings, to their country and to their God, from error, or from passion; but to persist in doing wrong, when the wrong is so apparent, would testify a depravity of mind with which we hope, they will not be chargeable. With respect to all you under our care,
the great object of our ambition is, that you should maintain that Loyalty to the King and attachment to the Constitution, combined with those virtuous honorable, and pious principles, which distinguished your forefathers, and which have rendered their memories dear to their posterity.
Here is an example which we earnestly recommend to your imitation, an example of equality distinguished by Loyalty, and by a veneration for those rights of the governed, the securing of which is alike the duty and the interest of the Crown.
We beseech you to look back to the period when those disputes commenced which have involved this country in its present calamities, and lay whether in matters of a political nature, on weighing their blessings with the evils of which they complained, the people of Ireland could be justified in rising in opposition to government, and disturbing the public peace. Did not Christians of every denomination enjoy perfect liberty of conscience? Were not the Shackles broken which had confined our trade? Was not private property secure, and the land becoming every day more prosperous? Can a wife or a virtuous man be found who would not wish to see us brought back into the same comfortable situation? The accomplishment of this most desirable object will be greatly forwarded by your acting under the influence of a steady regard to the laws and to the constitution, by your avowed and manly opposition to every species of insurrection, and by those exertions to restore the public tranquility, which, at this critical and important period, will be the best proof of your regard to your own interest, of your loyalty to your King and your love to your country.
Thus co-operating with the efforts, in behalf of Ireland, of our excellent Chief Governor, whose name for dignity of principle, for benevolence and true political wisdom, is so eminently distinguished; you will evince that you know and feel what you owe to your own character, testify, in the most effectual manner, that you reprobate the views of those who would involve this country in the incalculable horrors of a revolution, and aid in restoring to it the enjoyment of its former blessings.
In your endeavors to re-establish order and the public peace, it is necessary for us to observe how much it is your duty, on every occasion, to place in the strongest point of view, to every one with whom you can have any influence, the danger and pernicious consequences of a foreign connexion—Here, in respect to France, your argument is simple it is plain and not to be resisted; it is the fact, that this nation has exercised a despotic power over every country which has had the misfortune to apply to it for assistance; or to be conquered by its arms. As a strong additional motive to excite you to oppose any attempt, against our country of this restless and ambitious people, we beseech you to consider how unfriendly their declarations, and conduct have been to those principles of Religion, which are the support of our present comfort, and the sure foundation of our eternal happiness.
Permit us likewise to intreat that you may guard against a party spirit, and that you cultivate good will towards your fellow subjects of every religious description. Every thing contrary to this would be hostile to that christian temper by which you should be animated, would be inconsistent with your principles as Protestant Dissenters, and a reproach to your character. Brethren, deeply concerned in what respects your duty and your happiness, and as Ministers of the Gospel of Peace, we beseech you to attend to, and to practice, the things that make for peace, and we offer up our fervent Prayers to the Almighty that you may conduct yourselves in the manner which your own hearts will approve on reflection, which will give you comfort at the hour of death, and which will be approved at the great day, when you shall stand before the Tribunal of your Judge.

Last evening the trial of John Eies closed after the unresisting attention of the court and Jury, for nine days. The Jury were, William Jolly, Samuel Mitchell, Richard Leedham, Anthony Cuthbert, Alexander Fullerton, John Singer, William Ramsay, Samuel Richards, Gerhardus Wynkoop, Philip Walker, Joseph Thornton, and John Rhodes.
Mr. Sitgreaves, assistant to Mr. Rawle, opened the cause for the prosecution, explaining the nature of the third section of the 3d article of the constitution, which defines treason in these words "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court." After which he introduced to the jury the weight of testimony which they had to produce, in order to prove the prisoner guilty of that part of the definition, of "levying war." Twenty witnesses were examined on the part of the United States, and four on the part of the prisoner.
Mr. Rawle, attorney for the district of Pennsylvania, after a short introduction, read a great number of quotations from law books of eminence in support of the prosecution, after which Mr. Dallas in a speech of seven hours and a half produced his quotations in behalf of the prisoner, and commented on the evidence. He was followed by Mr. William Ewing, another counsel for the prisoner, who principally went on the same ground.
Mr. Sitgreaves answered to the observations of the two latter gentlemen in an address of upwards of six hours. He was followed by Mr. Lewis, counsel for the prisoner, who in the course of his observations made some remarks on an attack made on him in a public newspaper printed in this city during the pending of the present awful verdict; imputing to him the influence of gold in the cause he had undertaken: he observed it must be very well known that the prisoner's circumstances would not admit of a bribe from him; he would publicly declare that neither he nor his colleagues had received any thing, or even a promise, for undertaking the defence of his unhappy client.
Mr. Lewis spoke near six hours. Mr. Rawle closed the pleadings in an address of about four hours, in which he examined the case both as to law and testimony.
Judge Peters, in a charge to the jury, examined some of the references alluded to by the bar, and was followed by a full examination both on the evidence and law on this important cause, by Judge Iredell, the presiding Judge.
The court adjourned till 10 o'clock, and the jury retired.
At 10 o'clock the Court met, the names of the Jury being called over, the prisoner was desired to hold up his hand, when the Jury, by their foreman, Mr. Wynkoop, delivered in their verdict "GUILTY."
