To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid temper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the influence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bonds of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

BOSTON, April 12. HUMANE SOCIETY.
At a late meeting of the Trustees of the Humane Society, information of the following event was given to them, and fully authenticated.
On the 26th of March last, about 1 o'clock, P. M. as Mr. Stephen Twiss and Mr. Hopefull Bradlee, both soldiers of the Garrison at the Castle, were fishing in a small canoe, between Long-Island head and the east point of Spectacle-Island, they were suddenly overtaken with a heavy squall of wind, which induced them to attempt gaining the shore with all possible speed. While they were endeavoring to accomplish this, against an high sea and a severe fret of wind, they descried something at the distance of two or three hundred yards from them, which they soon concluded to be the head of a man. They instantly determined to go to his relief, hazardous as the attempt was; and tacking about soon came near him. Here they paused for a moment, and with great presence of mind required from the man an absolute and sacred promise, that he would not attempt to touch their canoe except in the manner which they should prescribe—as seizing it imprudently might destroy them as well as himself.
This promise he made them—and when they came to him he desired them to save his little son, of about six years old, whom he was holding in his arms. Him they took in at the head of the canoe. Mr. Twiss then turning it round and directing Bradlee with the child to lie down in the head, he drew the man gently into the canoe, at the stern, and then made for the shore of Spectacle-Island, which, notwithstanding the violence of the wind, they reached in safety. Here they were received by the people of the Island with the utmost kindness and hospitality, and after divers applications the child, who appeared perfectly dead when brought on shore, was restored to animation.
The persons saved, were Mr. Thomas Barnes of this town, and his son. Mr. Barnes relates, that the boat in which he and his son with Mr. William Brown and Mr. John Dailey (both also of this town) were, was sunk at the first coming up of the squall; that he caught his son as the boat was sinking, and providentially seized the top of the mast, (which was two feet under water) with one hand—by this he held fast, while he clasped his child to his bosom with the other. In this situation he remained more than half an hour, before the canoe came to his relief. The two men, Mr. Brown and Mr. Dailey, attempted to swim to Long-Island, but failed in the attempt, and were both drowned.
The Trustees gave to Mr. Twiss, (who was principally active in the business) a reward of ten dollars; and to Mr. Bradlee a reward of five dollars—for their signal exertions on this occasion—and directed this account to be published to their honor, to induce others to imitate the humanity, enterprise, and prudence of these worthy men.
SHIP NEWS.

BASLE, Jan. 22.
Previous to the famous affair of Gerheim, the utmost discontent prevailed among the armies. The Austrians accused the Prussians of hanging back, and leaving them foremost to the fire of the enemy. The Saxons quarrelled with the Bavarians, and the Hessians accused the Palatines of cowardice. In this state of things, the French continually harassing them, and a dearth of liquor taking place (a gill of spirits sold for twelve sols) the Austrians were benumbed with cold, and saw the French soldier enjoying his bottle with every comfort that the season required. A general discouragement and numberless desertions were the consequence.
At length, the French stormed the batteries at Gerheim, the most formidable that have been ever known; three tiers of artillery, the guns placed "en Cremaillere," so as to produce a triple line of crossed fire, and the whole well manned; but what cannot bravery do! The line broke, the French fell upon the Combined Troops with the bayonet.
For six hours the French never ceased killing with the bayonet, without firing a shot; fatigue obliged them to halt; the defectors arrived in hundreds.
The French, still pursuing arrived at the lines of Weissenbourg, where in addition to the immense capture of baggage they found all the artillery they had lost at this place, together with an enormous magazine of powder, destined for the siege of Landau; a part of the allies reserve artillery was also abandoned at Lauterbourg. The Austrians had the barbarity to place a lighted fusee to blow up the magazine, though they had left near 1500 of their wounded in the town, and near 1000 prisoners; the French arrived time enough to prevent the explosion; the Austrians crossed the Rhine to Mannheim, and the Prussians retreated to Worms.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 26.
The trial of the conspirators of Stockholm is suspended: It is thought that the arrival of Baron D'Armsfeldt, who is to be conducted as a prisoner from Italy into Sweden, is deemed necessary to throw greater light upon this affair; mean while a secret ferment prevails; the officer on guard near the Countess of Rudenschild, who has been transferred to the prison for criminals, was threatened with death, on the 14th instant in the street, by some unknown persons masked, if she were not set at liberty in the course of four days. In consequence, the patroles which parade Stockholm night and day have been increased, and the guards doubled. A reward of a thousand dollars has been promised to those who shall give information of the individuals in masks, who threatened the officer.
FRANKFORT, January 21.
Field Marshal Moellendorf, appointed to the chief command of the Prussian army on the resignation of the Duke of Brunswick, arrived here last night, and immediately set out for Mentz.
The French have fallen back towards the mass of their forces; their head quarters are at Neustadt. Worms, and Frankenthal, after having been plundered of every necessary, are at length evacuated.
Colonel de Maek is arrived to regenerate the disorganized army of the unhappy Wurmler: that object being accomplished, he returns to the army of Cobourg, of which he is appointed quarter-master general, a post occupied heretofore by Prince Hohenlohe. The latter is to have a distinct corps under his immediate orders, which will probably be employed between the armies in the Netherlands and those on the Rhine, to operate against Lorraine.
PARIS, January 26.
Letters from Lyons mention that the executions continue without intermission; that in four days there were 325 persons guillotined at Lyons and 339 shot.
Marseilles is declared to be in a state of siege. General La Poype commands there, and has addressed the inhabitants on the occasion.
General Dugoumier, who lately command at Toulon, is appointed to command the army of the Eastern Pyrenees.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, January 26.
A deputation of Americans was admitted to the bar, and the orator demanded the pardon of Thomas Paine, that apostle of Liberty, and whose arrest was a species of triumph to all the tyrants on earth. His papers had been examined, and far from finding any dangerous propositions, the committee had traced only the characters of that burning zeal for liberty—of that eloquence of nature and philosophy—and of those principles of public morality, which had through life procured him the hatred of despots and the love of his fellow citizens. They demanded, therefore, with confidence, that Thomas Paine should be restored to the fraternal embrace of his fellow-citizens, and they offered themselves sureties for his conduct during the short time that he should remain in France.
The President, after a high compliment to the American people, said, "You demand from us Thomas Paine—you are anxious to re-conduct to your own side the assertor of the Rights of Man—We must applaud this generous devotion—Thomas Paine was born in England—that was enough to subject him to the decree in the first instance, which our own safety demanded by the revolutionary laws. The Convention will take into consideration your demand."
January 27.
Letters from Sans nom, (Marseilles) 19th January.
The Revolutionary Tribunal of this city is still actively employed, and the heads of several conspirators fall daily. The Representatives of the people are employed in regenerating the public spirit, and in terrifying those who might be tempted to partake in new conspiracies. They have resolved, that henceforth the name of Marseilles, which this criminal commune still bears, shall be changed, and that the National Convention shall be intreated to bestow on it another. In the mean time it shall remain Sans-nom, (without name) and shall bear that denomination. The buildings in which the assemblies of the sections and of the general committee were held, shall be razed, and a gallows, which shall perpetuate the remembrance of their revolt, be erected on the ground they occupied. An exact inventory shall be taken of the furniture, &c. found in them. The furniture shall be sold—the plate sent to the mint.
February 1.
Republicans from Dunkirk, admitted at the bar, deposited on the altar of the Republic the spoils of the churches. They added to them some patriotic donations, among which were jewels worth 1000 livres, 968 marks of gold and silver, 9,400 livres in specie, 13,300 livres in assignats, 2,300 fluits, &c. The voluntary loan consists in 110,000 livres, and the forced loan in 300,000.
"It is thus," said the spokesman, "we prove our inviolable attachment to the republic one and indivisible. Placed on the remotest, in the most dangerous post, we will defend it to the last extremity. Woe be to the dastardly Britons, if they dare to appear on our coast. We present you a tent taken from that rogue the Duke of York, on the very day on which he was so shamefully chased back from before the walls of Dunkirk: as the word Dunkirk signifies the church of the Dunes we request that that city may be called Dune Libre." He concluded by requesting the Convention to remain at their posts. Honorable mention, and insertion in the bulletin.
"Our land forces, said Barrere, one of the committee of public safety, have made a glorious campaign: and our naval forces shall procure us an honorable peace. Peace has been talked of; you have been told that you mean to subject the English people to your measures; that you intend to transport Paris to London. Why will you lavish so much French blood? the confederate powers sue for peace. You wish to dethrone all kings—do you wish it for the purpose of undoing the revolution, or, at least, in order to retard its beneficial consequences? This is the common language of the moderates. The committee prepare a terrible war, with the only view of obtaining a solid peace. You desire peace; the leagued kings do the same but mark at what price! A diplomatic agent in a neutral country said the other day,
"the confederate powers are willing provisionally to acknowledge the French Republic" [bursts of laughter] well, let us provisionally destroy all tyrannical governments. [Applauded.] Do you know what the coalesced kings are proposing to you? A cessation of hostilities for two years. [No cessation of hostilities! was the general cry.] They offer you a two years armistice, for the purpose of establishing among you new Vendees, in order to recover their exhausted strength, to carry off your merchandize, to infect the popular societies by their agents, to stir up new conspiracies among you; perfidiously to take from you your arms, your provisions, and to give you at last some royal scoundrel for a master. This is the cessation of hostilities which is offered you; at the term of its expiration, they will grant you peace, they say; and this peace is to be ratified by the French people. Can it be forgotten, that a faction, whose intention it was to destroy liberty by this means, made a similar proposal? The French people desire peace; but an honourable peace, a peace such as we shall be ready to sign.
The tyrants offer you peace, because they have neither money nor soldiers. A negotiator said lately in Switzerland, "But suppose it was intended to talk of peace, to whom in France should an application of that kind be addressed?"—"To whom? This is not difficult to be determined," answered the national agent; "we have one hundred thousand negotiators at the army of the Rhine; a hundred thousand in the south; as many at the northern army," [Bursts of applause.] Why should the French people not act as Rome did? Why should we not surround all kings with the famous circle of Populus? If the British people wish for peace why do they not detach themselves from their infernal and despotic government? Let them cease to behave like slaves, and we will grant them peace.—The kings, we are told, demand peace—but what have these despots hitherto done to obtain it?—Have they ceased to provoke the neutral governments against us, and to direct their perfidious manoeuvres against a free people? Arms and gunpowder must alone procure us peace.
The city which struck off the head of the Tyrant must also, furnish the arms and powder which is to save Liberty. Every day you hear the fire-arms tried, which near your walls are made with unexampled activity!
But it has been necessary to surmount great obstacles; instruments were to be made, and workmen to be taught; patriotism wanted the assistance of art; at first, we had no more than 25 artificers able to make good muskets, and who all came from Maubeuge; at present their number is increased to 500. Six hundred and eighty muskets are now made in a day, and 6800 in a decade. We have 15 foundries, which monthly produce 1000 pieces of ordnance." He next stated what had been done for the fabrication of saltpetre. "There exists," said he "a new way of accelerating its extraction; the chymists have with their art assisted the cause of Liberty, and this discovery alone would save us. We want, for the next campaign, 24,000,000lb of powder.—They are ready. But our enemies may employ against us new perfidies, burn some magazines, and make others surrender. We must be prepared for every event; and for this reason your committee is to propose to you new means.
Jambon Saint Andre said, he had new successes to announce. Breard and himself had ordered a squadron of three ships of the line and some frigates to cruise off the coast of Ireland. They had returned to Brest on the 23d of January after having made 15 prizes, of which 12 were already come into port, viz.
A Jersey corfair, carrying 10 guns, taken by the Jean Bart.
La Misere, a Danish brig, 120 tons, from Amsterdam for Madrid, loaded with grain, taken by la Felicite.

The Grenville, an English vessel, of three masts and 300 tons, with coals, taken by the Achille.
The Bonny, ———, an English brig, 200 tons, with salt, taken by the Insurgente.
The three other prizes are expected every hour.
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 21.
Four members of the commission, of which Grouville, the French Ambassador, is the chief, the citizens Aubray, Honore, Castera, and De La Mare, sent to about 150 persons of this capital invitation cards couched as follows:
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!—Sir, You are invited by the French citizens, Aubray, Honore, Castera, and De La Mare, to be present at a ball and supper, which is to take place on Friday next, at the house of Rouch, in order to celebrate the recapture of Toulon. The ball begins at 6 o'clock."
Some persons accepted the invitation, others declined it; but when the government were informed of those proceedings, it thought proper to prevent a festival which might be attended with the most disagreeable consequences. The Intendant of the Police sent orders to the tavern keeper, Rouch, not to suffer it to be given in his house—consequently it did not take place, and the French commissaries who had prepared it applied to the magistrate for passports to quit our capital; though they were immediately given to them, they are still in Copenhagen.
LONDON, Jan. 30.
Admiral Macbride is to have the command of a fleet at the Nore, and will shortly hoist his flag there.
Yesterday the attorney and solicitors general and governors, and deputy governor of the Bank of England had an interview with the minister, at his house in Downing street, on the new bill for putting all French money into what the Jacobins call, a state of arrestation.
The King of Spain has published, in imitation of his Britannic majesty, a manifesto, or public declaration, explanatory of his sentiments towards the French nation.
The prince of Cobourg is about to surrender the command of the grand army in Flanders, to the duke of Brunswick.
Captain Curtis stood twelve hours at the helm, in the Swallow, on board of which was the marquis Cornwallis, in coming through the Channel, in consequence of their being chased by a French privateer.
Prince Esterhazy passed Frankfort on the 22d ult. and was supposed to proceed to England. The prince is said to be bent on a private business from the Emperor. Envoys from the other allied powers are expected to assemble in London in order to concert measures with our ministry concerning the present circumstances of the war.
An article from Magdebourg says, the reason why M. la Fayette, Lameth, and the other French officers are removed from here to Glatz and Silesia, is the expected arrival of a number of their countrymen prisoners of war. M. Lameth has enjoyed but a poor state of health ever since he came; but by the king of Prussia's leave, his mother has attended him. All those prisoners are said to have had the liberty of reading, and to have been well supplied with books from persons possessing libraries.
February 10.
Saturday the Duke of York paid a visit to the King Queen and Princesses, at Windsor Lodge, when a very affectionate interview took place. The Duke stayed about two hours, and afterwards returned to Oatlands.
The Duke and Duchess of York dined with their Majesties at the Queens Lodge.
The object of the Duke of York's journey to England at present is principally to

concert with Government on the measures of the ensuing campaign.
On Saturday Capt. C. P. Ricketts was appointed Governor General and Commander in chief of Barbadoes.
The English prisoners at Havre amounted to about 400, and were on the point of being removed to Rouen, where 3000 were confined.
We have no authority to believe the report of General Jourdain's arrest. It may be so, but the Paris Gazettes down to the 23d are silent on this subject, and the circumstances are unknown to any of the gentlemen who came with the duke of York to England.
General Pichegru has quitted the command of the French army of the Rhine to re-place Gen. Jourdain at the army of the North: The former is re-placed by Gen. Hoche, who is now at the head of the two armies of the Rhine and the Moselle.
The Spaniards are said to have evacuated Collioure; the place, however, is commanded by the cannon of the fort of St. Elme, which was still in their possession. —A loan of twenty millions of piastres is opened in Spain for the support of the war.
The reason of appointing the duke of Brunswick to command the combined armies in Flanders, is supposed to be the probability of their being obliged to retreat, a branch of the art of war in which his serene highness has lately had great opportunities of improving.

MR. FENNO,
A correspondent in the General Advertiser of Thursday asks, what means public credit? It may be answered that it means a character for honor and probity, which enables a country to avail itself on any emergency, of the wealth of its own citizens or of that of a foreign country. In a free country it constitutes a safe capacity for borrowing—without which liberty may be put in jeopardy at any moment a despotic power may see proper to attack it—Nor is it conceivable how this capacity can in a free country be "the means of causing a distinct interest from that of the whole community." The ability of a community to discharge its engagements depends on the general prosperity of the whole people; hence it becomes most obviously, the interest of the public creditors to do every thing in their power to promote this general prosperity—Neither is public credit a yoke for posterity—for no man in his senses would prefer loaning his property to a community which should leave to another generation to discharge the obligations of the present; it is therefore a dictate of the soundest policy to provide for the earliest payment of every public debt. It may be doubted whether "public credit has been the source of innumerable misfortunes to Europe"—On the other hand, it is demonstrable that the wars of that quarter of the globe have occasioned the accumulation of their debts; the public creditors have most obviously an interest directly opposed to war; unless it can be made to appear that the depression of the funds is promotive of their interest. There is a truer cause of war to be assigned than that of diminishing the capacity of a country to discharge its existing obligations—Whence come wars and fightings, lays an old fashioned book—"Come they not hence even of your lusts?" Until mankind, or at least the majority, shall cease to be actuated by resentment, rage, and ambition it is utopian, to expect that wars shall cease.
The United States are at this moment most critically situated—it is in the opinion of many, no longer optional with us, whether we shall be committed in the war or not. Those who are for an immediate decision on the part of the government to engage in hostilities with Great Britain—advocate at the same moment the annihilation of public credit. Those who are for supporting the peace of the United States, urge the most effectual preparation for national defence and security, and as a mean indispensable to this object, are solicitous to preserve the public credit—the present positive state of facts, absolutely contradicts the assertion that public credit is the parent of war—for the friends of peace, are branded as the enemies of their country, for wishing to support public credit—while those who decry public credit, are clamorous for measures which must inevitably encroach the public debt—unless in the modern revolution of principles, war should be converted into a blessing instead of a curse. Would the people of the United States "wish for an increase of the debt?" let them adopt the politics of those who clamor for war—Would we diminish the debt, let us if possible negotiate instead of fighting—should negotiation succeed, the preparation for war urged by the friends of peace, will not amount to one hundredth part of the expence of war without negotiation—should negotiation fail, we shall then be in a situation to meet our enemies on some terms of equality—at present, who can say that we are?
PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 22.
Letter to a gentleman in this city, received by this day's mail, dated New-York, April 21.
"The ship Ohio of this port, has arrived at the Hook, after a passage of 42 days from London—she is now coming up, and should reach the town before the mail closes, we will communicate the information that may be received by her."
"It is said that she failed in company with upwards of 300 vessels, from the channel, bound to different ports in America, under convoy of some British ships of war."
Yesterday the following resolution passed the House of Representatives of the United States—Yeas fifty eight—Nays thirty eight, viz.
WHEREAS, the injuries which have been suffered and may be suffered by the United States, from violations committed by Great Britain on their neutral rights and commercial interests, as well as from her failure to execute the seventh article of the treaty of peace, render it expedient for the interests of the United States, that the commercial intercourse between the two countries should not continue to be carried on in the extent at present allowed:
RESOLVED, That from and after the first day of November next, all commercial intercourse between the citizens of the United States, and the subjects of the king of Great Britain, or the citizens or subjects of any other nation, so far as the same respects articles of the growth or manufacture of Great Britain or Ireland, shall be prohibited.
A committee was then appointed to prepare and bring in a bill pursuant to the above resolution.
From the Leyden Gazette of 27th Dec.
M. C. A. M. Vattel, officer in the Swiss Guards, has written the following letter with a request that the Editor would insert it in his paper.
"In the supplement to No. 102 of your Gazette, in the ridiculous letter of Genet, Minister of France in America, to Mr. Jefferson the Secretary of State, I find the following sentence—"I do not remember what the worm-eaten volumes of Grotius, Puffendorf and Vattel say on this subject. I thank God, I have forgotten what those hireling writers on jurisprudence wrote on the law of nations while they were in chains." I have a sovereign contempt for Citizen Genet; but I owe it to the memory of Mr. Vattel, my father, to hinder those flat calumnies from deceiving honest people. My father, when he wrote on the law of nations, was in the pay of nobody, nor was he in chains, for he was a member of one of the Swiss Cantons (Néufchatel,) where the most happy freedom reigns. As to his works being eaten by worms, they will perhaps remain longer than the French Republic."
A correspondent observes with real pleasure, the increasing military disposition of the inhabitants of this city, at this very critical period, and adds that it must give sincere satisfaction to every friend to his country to learn that in addition to the several volunteer companies already established, there is a new troop of light dragoons now organizing, which in point of respectability, numbers and equipment, will be equal to any on the continent.
We hear that the President of the United States has appointed Nathaniel Cabot Higginson, legal commissioner for the United States, on a mission to the West-Indies to superintend the entering of appeals from the decrees of condemnation; to investigate the grounds on which they have been made and to do other things relative to American vessels and cargoes which have been condemned in the Vice Admiralty courts of the several Islands, and also to afford relief to our seamen now there.
Philad. Gazette.
Earl Stanhope on the 23d Jan. in the British House of Lords, made a motion for acknowledging the French Republic, in the following words:
"That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, advising his Majesty to discontinue hostilities, as it appeared from an article of the French constitution, that her Government did not mean to interfere in changing any Government, nor suffer any Power to alter that which he had formed. Praying, That his Majesty, seeing the destructive nature of the war, and the delusive hope held out of success, would order his Ministers immediately to acknowledge the French Republic."
Let us do this, said his Lordship; let us be just & honest (for I am not without some religion;) let us do our duty to one another; at least, let us endeavour to do justice, and leave the rest to God.
This motion was introduced with a long speech, in which the power progress and resources of the French nation were exhibited in the most animating point of view—the motion was put and negatived.

The 18th instant, being Good Friday, in contempt of JUDAS the traitor, the seamen on board a Portuguese brig, laying at Jones's wharf, hanged his effigy to the yard-arm, where it hung till the next day; when, on the firing of several guns, and much noisy vociferation, it was lowered into the water and soundly ducked, then taken up, dragged through the streets, and beat with clubs as it passed, to the no small diversion of the boys and other spectators.
Extract of letter from Mr. Parsons, of Grenada, to Mr. D. Smith merchant of New-York, via New-London dated March 22.
"Americans are not allowed to trade with the French Islands besieged; but all the English are open, except for beef, pork, &c. The Islands, when captured, will be open. Many Americans are condemned, and 100 ready to be given up.—Government will make good all damages."
St. JOHNS, (Antigua) Feb. 10. Archibald Gloster, Esq. arrived here this day from the island of Montserrat, where he has been for some weeks past, exerting himself in the admiralty as advocate to the unfortunate Americans who had been captured and carried into that port; but neither his eloquence, or well known legal ability could avail.
Feb. 18. The late order for seizing all American vessels bound to or from a French island, was, we believe, generally disapproved of in this island; but an order to restore such vessels as have been already taken, and to prevent similar captures in future, we are informed, may be hourly expected.

Henry Raper v. Benjamin Gaither and Basil Gaither, State of Maryland, High Court of Chancery, March 5th 1794. The Complainant states in his bill that the defendants Benjamin Gaither and Basil Gaither were seised in fee as tenants in common of a tract of land in Frederick County, called Hammond's Serre; that being so seised, Basil executed a power of attorney to Benjamin authorizing him to sell his, the said Basil's interest in the said land, that afterwards the said Benjamin sold the said land to a certain William Gaither for the consideration of five hundred pounds which hath been since paid, that the said William hath assigned to the Complainant Henry Raper the bond executed by the said Benjamin for the conveyance of the said land: The Complainant now further states (and so appears to the Chancellor) that the defendants are non-residents of the state of Maryland, and therefore out of the reach of the process of this court. It is therefore adjudged and ordered, that the Complainant procure a copy of this order, to be inserted in the newspaper of Angell and Sullivan, and in the United States Gazette at least three weeks successively, before the twentieth day of May next; to the intent that the Defendants and all others, who may conceive themselves interested in the premises, may have notice to appear in this court, on or before the third Tuesday in September next, to show cause why a decree should not pass for vesting in the Complainant a complete legal title to the land aforesaid.
