MAIL STAGE.
THE proprietors beg leave to inform the public, that they have established a Stage between Philadelphia, Allentown, Bethlehem, Lehigh, and the Lehigh Furnace, in New-Jersey, to go once a week, and are provided with good horses, a comfortable carriage, and a careful driver, for the conveyance of the mail, passengers, and goods. The Stage will start every Thursday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. from Mr. Daniel Cooper's Ferry, and lodge that night at Mr. Buel's, at Longacoring; and on Friday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. arrive at Allentown, where are good accommodations, and a convenient place to wash; the postman will continue to regulate himself with feeding and lodging, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every season of the year food and fish in abundance. The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Ewing's in Allentown, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfasts at John Buel's, at Wading River Bridge, lodge that night at Longacoring, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on Wednesday, arrive at the aforesaid Cooper's Ferry. It is presumed that no route of an equal distance will be less expensive, or furnish the traveller with a greater variety of amusement, as he will not only have a pleasant sail to the Atlantic from Allentown, but have the curiosity of seeing on the road thither a number of capital furnaces and forges, and one fitting mill, in complete order, and at work; gentlemen, too, who are owners, or factors, of any of the aforesaid iron works, are solicited to encourage and support this Stage (by which they can be so well accommodated) the continuance of which will much depend on their aid. The rates of passengers and baggage are as follows: For a passenger from the aforesaid Daniel Cooper's Ferry to Allentown, including 14 lb. of baggage, Two Dollars; for way passengers per mile, Four Cents—150 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger.

At the Federal Blast Furnace,
In Carbon—for Slitting, Planing, and Rolling MILLS. SEYMOUR'S Patent Rollers. THEIR superiority consists in being free from holes and honey-combed places, which are commonly found in rollers cast in sand, or clay moulds. These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friction, and require less water to make them perform their work. They may be had by application to the Patentee in Plymouth, of Gen. Nathaniel Goodsquin, or of Messrs. Thatcher and Hayward. Boston, Aug. 31. Sept. 19. 5t.

To Masters and Pilots bringing up Vessels from Foreign Ports to this City.
Whereas sundry infringements have lately been made on the laws of this state for the preventing pestilential or infectious diseases, either from ignorance or inattention thereto, it is the expedient at this time to publish the following extracts from the laws of 22d April, 1794, 7th and 8th sections. HEALTH-OFFICE. June 6th, 1794. Extract of an act for securing the city and port of Philadelphia from the introduction of pestilential and contagious diseases. Sect. 7. And be it further enacted, that every master or captain of any ship or vessel coming from a foreign port, or any port or place within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, shall cause his ship or vessel to be brought to anchor, or otherwise stayed in the stream of the river Delaware, opposite to the Health-Office on State Island aforesaid, and there to remain until he shall have duly obtained a certificate or bill of health from the Resident Physician. And if, previously to obtaining such certificate or bill of health, any master or captain shall suffer his ship or vessel to approach nearer than the said Health-Office to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any place or port within this Commonwealth, or at any other port or place, with the intent of being conveyed to any other place, or any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise, or, if after receiving such bill of health or certificate, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the Health-Officer, such master or captain shall forfeit one hundred dollars, for each and every such offence, the sum of five hundred dollars. And the captain or master of every ship or vessel shall send a safe and commodious boat to bring the physician on board, and shall in like manner convey him back to the Health-Office, after he has concluded his official examination; And while he is making such examination, or in case any subsequent examination by the Health Officer or Consulting Physician, agreeably to the directions of this act, the master or captain shall expose or cause to be exposed to the search of the Resident Physician, or of the Health Officer and Consulting Physician (as the case may be) each and every part of the ship or vessel, and shall present to his view each and every person or persons on board thereof, and shall also true and satisfactory answers make to all such questions as the Resident Physician, &c. at the time of examination shall ask relative to the health of any port or place from which the ship or vessel sailed, or has since touched at—the number of persons on board when the ship or vessel entered on her voyage—the number of persons that have since been landed or taken on board, and when and where respectively—what persons on board they have been during the voyage, or shall, at the time of examination, be infected with any pestilential or contagious disease—and what is the present state and condition of the persons on board with respect to their health or disease. And if any master or captain shall refuse to expose as aforesaid, or to the search of any of the officers aforesaid, or if he shall conceal any sick person, or in any other manner deceive the proper officers aforesaid in his answers, such captain or master, for every such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars. Sect. 8. And if any person or persons whatsoever (the Resident Physician, &c. excepted) shall go on board any vessel, before the master thereof has received a certificate of health in the manner directed, every person so offending, shall pay the sum of one hundred dollars. It being absolutely necessary that the foregoing sections should be punctually complied with, the subscriber, in compliance with his duty, must exact a rigorous observance of the same, or else be under the necessity of putting the laws in force.

FROM THE SHOP OF MESS. COLON & SPONDEE. THE SUN and the BATS, &c.
A FABLE. 'TIS Elop tells how certain bats, In a dark hole, like Democrats, Held a fraternal club;
And now they mingle white and black, And hug and kiss, protect and chat; Addres, remonstrate, vote their whims; And scream, like noisy Jacobins.
Marching in his meridian height, Arrayed in royal robes of light, Pouring through planetary scenes, Benevolence from all his beams.
Thus smil'd the solar president, As through the ecliptic fates he went, And heard these demos hiss and croak, And saw them flutter, crawl and vote.
He smil'd, and thus address'd the club; "Ye loathsome cuts of dirt and mud, Come forth, and view my cheerful rays, If your weak eyes can bear the blaze.
Know then ye envious souls! my beams Shed all the bliss through all these scenes, I give to commerce all her gales, I raise the wind which swells her sails.

TO THE PUBLIC. Apprehensions having arisen in the breast of the Steward, that illicit practices were carried on at the City Hospital, under his care, diligent attention was paid night and day, in order to bring to conviction the parties concerned, and yesterday morning at half past one o'clock, one of the nurses was taken by the Steward, with a bag full of sundries belonging to the public. On a promise of forgiveness to him, confession was made of property to a considerable amount, being lodged in the house of John Brown (another of the nurses). The clerk at a very early hour, rode to town, and obtained a Search Warrant from alderman Jennings, when the fact was immediately proved, and Brown committed to the city prison by the said alderman. This fortunately exonerates the others employed in the public service, and must prove a particular satisfaction to the Steward and every other attendant. Matthew Brown, constable, is entitled to thanks for the readiness in which he assisted the clerk in obtaining back the property, and at a place where others might have objected to attend.
At a meeting of a number of respectable citizens of Philadelphia, at the Union school house in Germantown, on the 7th Oct. '97: It was resolved that a committee to consist of nine, be appointed to collect contributions of the citizens now resident in Germantown and its vicinity and others, for the purpose of alleviating the distress of such of their fellow-citizens who may be deemed proper objects of relief by the commissioners appointed by the Governor to carry into effect an act of the General Assembly passed on the 29th day of August last.
That the following named gentlemen be a committee, viz. John Dunlap, Robert Hare, Benjamin Chew, jr. Peter Baynton, John McCulloch, Henry Pratt, Gideon Hill Wells, Thomas Fisher, William Wistar.
That the proceedings of the meeting be signed by the chairman and secretary, and published for the information of their fellow-citizens.
BENJAMIN CHEW, Chair. SAMUEL W. FISHER, Sec'y.
From an English Paper.
The French revolution, which commenced by fire and assassination, has been prolonged through torrents of blood, and by the means of pillage; from the murders of M. Foulon and Berthier in July 1789, there is no one epoch of this astonishing revolution which has not been stained by blood, or marked by the most atrocious crimes.
The first massacres and conflagrations were directed by the members of the left side of the constituent assembly: but as the people were not then sufficiently prepared to behold their attempts against persons and property with unconcern, the constitutionalists were obliged to counteract the king's orders, to encourage their satellites to slaughter the most faithful subjects of the monarch, and burn down their castles.
The best blood of France was shed in the beginning by the first revolutionists, who raised the standard of revolt against their king and their God: but soon were the poignards turned against themselves. When Barnave said in the constituent assembly, that the blood of Foulon and Berthier was not sufficiently pure to be stopped from flowing; when a duke pursued his queen at the head of a horde of assassins, in the night between the 5th and 6th of October, 1789; when an Orleans caused the ducches of Lambolle to be cut in morsels, and even viewed the ceremony from the window of his hotel, that he might succeed to her estate; when Lameth pillaged the hotel of the duke de Cakres, and insulted the august princess who had drawn his family from obscurity; when Condorcet plotted the massacre of the duke de la Rochefoucault, his benefactor, in Normandy; finally, when Pétion, Brissot, Gorsas, and many others organized revolt, and prepared the people by means of their journals and by virulent declamation, to demand the blood of the best of kings, and the most unfortunate of queens; these detestable men did not foresee that they themselves would soon be proscribed by the same sovereign people whom they so basely flattered; and that they would in their turns fall a sacrifice to the poignards with which they armed the assassins and murderers against their princes, the nobility, and the clergy.
At the first period of the Revolution, assassination was subjected to the appearance of forms; M. de Favras was condemned by the Chatelet of Paris. The judge did not every where act in a similar manner; several victims were saved from execution by the conscience of some of their magistrates, in whom honor was not altogether extinguished. But when murder was changed to carnage, inasmuch that the tribunals could not spare time for so many formalities, nor the common hangmen for so many executions; a more expeditious method became necessary; and it was adopted for the scenes of August and September, 1792. The executioner being asked, how many persons he could expedite per day, answered 400. The number was too small; and it was then that Danton, Robespierre, Manuel, and their crew, determined to arm all their satellites, who, in the space of two days, massacred 4000 priests, nobles, or other persons attached to royalty, in Paris.
When the Girondins, who then ruled in the Legislative Assembly passed to the order of the day upon the denunciation made to them of these massacres, they little expected that they authorized a conduct to which they themselves would become victims the ensuing year. It was in vain for them to exclaim against the murderous faction of the 2d of September, for these scenes of horror sprang from those of the 10th of August, which Brissot, and his friends plotted in their midnight conventicles at Charenton.
What will become of those ferocious men, whose bloody sceptre seems now about to reduce unhappy France to the condition of an immense house of slaughter? Can we suppose that divine justice will suspend its avenging hand, before these monitors shall be buried in the same tomb, into which so many victims have been precipitated; some innocent, and others more or less guilty? No—it is conformable to the eternal judgment of Heaven, that his arm shall be uplifted until the land shall be cleared of the monsters who have deluged it in blood, massacre, and rapine; Other factions, equally atrocious, will arise, the members of which destroying one another, will rid the earth of the monsters who pollute and ravage it.
An UMBRELLA
WAS taken (supposed to have been stolen) on Sunday evening last, from the house occupied by Mr. Blunt, No. 9. Strawberry-street: It is a green silk Umbrella, of the middle size, with a red morocco top and hooked ivory head. Conceiving it to have been taken by some pilfering knave, who, actuated by pecuniary motives, may endeavor to vend the same, any person or persons to whom the said Umbrella may be offered, are desired to stop it; and it is hoped, will apprehend and convict the thief to justice. The peculiarity of the Umbrella will evidently subject the possessor to detection; therefore, whoever apprehends the same and delivers it at Mr. Blunt's, from whence it was taken, or at Mr. Fenno's office, shall be handsomely rewarded.

[It is said "that only 30 votes were opposed to the above." What was the reason? It was not because the Republican Interest had degenerated—No, they were disgusted—not at the privileges of a free election; but at the prevailing debasement of man. The Hydra-head of aristocracy has too long predominated there!—Yet awhile, and a day of retribution is at hand.]
CARLISLE (Penn.) October 4.
On Wednesday the 27th ult. was held a Commencement for conferring Degrees on a number of the students of Dickinson college. The trustees, faculty, and students of the college (about seventy in number) proceeded from the college to the Presbyterian church, where a variety of pleasing specimens of genius and oratory were exhibited before a large and respectable audience.
Salutatory oration, in Latin, on the advantages of peace, and disadvantages of war; — by James Graham.
Oration on the evils of slavery; — by Thomas I. Macomb.
Oration on duelling; — by Thomas Greer.
Oration on the different forms of government; — by Henry M. Ridgely.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on the following gentlemen, who had passed through a regular course of education in this seminary, viz.
William Breden of York county; Thomas Greer, James Graham, and James Thomson of Cumberland county; Moses Montgomery, and Robert Kennedy, of Lancaster county; Thomas I. Macomb, and Henry M. Ridgely, of the state of Delaware; and Edwin Putnam, of Marietta, in the Western Territory.
The degree of Master of Arts was conferred on the Rev. Isaac Greer, and Dr. John Creigh, practicioner of physice, in Mifflin county.
The valedictory oration was then delivered on the advantages of education and public seminaries; — by Moses Montgomery.
The principal, in the conclusion, delivered an address to the graduates, in which he recapitulated the studies through which they had been conducted, and earnestly exhorted them to a future conduct answerable to the education they had received, and to the expectations of their teachers, their Friends and their country.
In the afternoon, about twenty of the students, selected from the several classes in the grammar-school, pronounced orations on a variety of subjects, grave, humorous, and satirical, which were received as pleasing specimens of public speaking. This was in compliance with a rule of the trustees, requiring orations to be delivered publicly, at every quarterly examination.
It is hoped this institution, from the regularity and zeal with which it is conducted, will always meet with the encouragement of a generous public, and be patronized by all who wish well to the cause of science, and the true interests of the state.
NORFOLK, October 7.
DIED—On Wednesday night, after a short illness, LOUIS ETIENNE DUHAIL, Vice-Consul of the French Republic at this place, and lately at Baltimore. He was born at La Mans, in France; had formerly been admitted a doctor in physice in the University of Caen in Normandy; he lived for many years at Paris, where he was known among the Literati, not only as author of several poetical works, but also as well conversant in biography. Being at the head of the board of foreign affairs in the formory times of the new government, he became acquainted with diplomatic agencies; and shortly after his arrival in this country, was admitted a member of the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia; he was a man of great circumspection, apparent coldness, and restrained intercourse; but on a closer acquaintance, he discovered deep knowledge, mildness, and moderation of mind, and especially an unblemished impartiality, that made him loved and respected by all his countrymen. His remains were on Thursday attended to the Catholic burying-ground, attended by the British and Spanish consuls, and a number of Frenchmen and inhabitants of the borough. Yesterday, Mrs. ANN GOW.
PARIS, Aug. 6.
It appears certain that Gen. Hoche has sent in his resignation to the directory, but that it has not been accepted. We have every reason to think that the report of the resumption of hostilities in Italy, between the Republican and Austrian troops, is entirely without foundation. In our opinion there is still every prospect of peace with the house of Austria, notwithstanding the negotiations are at this time so much protracted.
The very moderate conclusions, in the report made yesterday to the council of five hundred by the commission of inspectors, relative to the march of the troops, have surprised many persons, who expected to hear that a proposition would be made for a decree of accusation against the three members who compose the majority of the directory. These persons have been altogether mistaken, and perhaps will be so for a long time to come.
We cannot be too much on our guard against the croakers (perverses) who augment the mischief by their violent and unceasing exaggerations, and who, if we were to listen to them, would hurry us instantly into a civil war, on pretext of steering clear of it. They call on us to fly to arms, without giving themselves the trouble to enquire whether we are provided with the necessary weapons, and without pointing out to their friends where they are to find them in case of emergency. Wretched will those be who shall allow themselves to be directed by such guides, who shudder at the phantoms of their own imagination has formed, and who, in compassing their own destruction, are calculated to destroy every thing! The circumstances are without doubt very critical; but when it becomes necessary to walk between precipices, we cannot extricate ourselves from the danger which surrounds us by gales of passion. Wisdom, and not rage, is essential to each party, to enable it to thin the midships which menace all the parties in a nearly equal degree.—Paris.
We are assured that the directory has received the original order of march given to the troops by the war commissioner, Le Sage.
We just learn that the directory has decided, that the territory of Liege shall not be considered as an integral part of the empire, but shall remain united to the French republic. It is added, that this decision has occasioned the negotiations with the emperor to be broken off.—Ibid.
We are assured yesterday that Pichegru had set out for Rheims, for the purpose of conferring with the commanders of the army, and of obtaining that by perfidious, which it would be extremely dangerous for the two parties to commit to the fate of arms.—Ibid.
EXETER, (England) Aug. 27.
It has been said that the Gen. employed under BUONAPARTE in Italy, have actually formed a party against him at Paris, and are endeavouring to raise such prejudices in the minds of the Directors as may induce them to recall the Commander in Chief. But the complete approbation which the Directory lately published of his conduct in Italy, seems to discredit the report. It is possible, however, that ANGEBEAU, who has recently arrived from the army, and has been appointed to command the troops of the Interior, may have given the Directory some information with regard to the secret views of that aspiring and enterprising Gen. that may have induced them to change their sentiments, and to regard him with a jealous eye.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
Philadelphia, August 8th, 1797.
SIR, I duly received your letter of the 11th of the last month, to which my other engagements have till this time prevented an answer.
My additional report to the President of the United States, on the 3d of July, in relation to Spanish affairs, has offended you...
In respect to your suspicions of an expedition preparing on the lakes by the British, for an attack upon Upper Louisiana...
It was an act of still greater complaisance, when on the 21st of April you renewed the declaration of your suspicions...
government to resolve on, and to communicate to you, what you are pleased to allow to be a "determinate disposition on this point."
In the next sentence (as in many others) you misrepresent my expressions and misunderstand my meaning. I do not say, that "from your not having given me detailed information respecting the expedition, and from the answer which I received from the British minister on the 19th of June, I believed the expedition to be groundless."
Another material circumstance I must notice—That troops of the United States were stationed at Niagara, on the Miami, at Detroit and Michilimackinack...
But it was also well known that they had not on the lakes a force adequate to the enterprise in question. I considered also the great difficulties that would attend the transportation of troops, equipment, provisions, cannon, and stores...
These where circumstances abundantly sufficient to discredit naked suspicion; and the declaration of Mr. Linton, in the note of the 19th of June, was mentioned only as confirming the justness of the opinion which which I had at first formed in March...
"But (you say) you never could have imagined that I would have given to the British minister a piece of advice, which might enable him to alter his plan, by letting him know that the former one was discovered."
In your 5th paragraph you are pleased to mention what you consider as another omission of duty. That although on the 2d of March you wrote your suspicions, and three days before you mentioned them verbally...
very powerful" motive to remain silent five days.
I cannot but regret that my reasoning is so often not understood. When reciting my inquiry whether the posts occupied by the troops of Spain within the territory of the United States had been evacuated...
I cannot omit noticing your observations on the 5th paragraph of my report. If, as you were obliging enough to promise, you had favored me with copies of the Baron de Carondelet's two letters...
Besides, the baron had no right to expect any other evidence of Mr. Ellicott's appointment than his letter, until they should meet for the purpose of commencing the business of their appointments...
In the last sentence of your paragraph on this subject you say, "That when after a mixed and defultory conversation upon various subjects, you had collected and methodized your ideas, and committed them to writing..."
It may, however, be applied to a former part of your letter. You say that in our conference on the 27th of February, you mentioned to me the raising of 350 men at Montreal...
In the 8th paragraph of your letter, you observe that my proof obtained from Mr. Ellicott's messengers, that he did not attempt to get possession of the Natchez fort by surprise, is merely negative.
In the letter dated at the Natchez the 5th of May, from lieutenant Pope to governor Gayoso, you will see that the governor had made the like accusation against the lieutenant.
