Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, March 14-28.
The influence of the Hair-Dresser of the Prussian Decking himself in the Captain's epaulettes when the ship was expected to founder, is as striking a display of vanity as Pizarro's Mirza, putting her cheek in her last moments. The poor hair-dresser expected that if his body should have been found, he would have been taken for an officer.
Last night one of the long chain of hills called Hambleton Hills, in the North Riding of the county of York, fell into the plain below, and spread over a considerable quantity of ground. Falling in the night, fortunately no person was injured. It was called Brookfield-le-Sale, situated near the village of Kirby Knowle, and contained on the surface about three quarters of an acre of ground, with much wood growing on it. Probably the weight of snow, and that thawed,滋着 through the fissures of the earth may have loosened this hill from that to which it was joined, and occasioned its fall.
By the sinking of the pavement nearly opposite the front gate of the Royal Exchange a very large deep well of great antiquity has been discovered. The water is of excellent quality, and the Ward of Cornhill purpose creating a pump near the place. Upon examining Stow's History of London, it appears to have been covered over more than 600 years; for he notices as standing there, a conduit and a watch-house, together with a place of confinement for disorderly persons, at the top of which was placed the pillory for their punishment; all which, he says, were removed in the year 1380. What is remarkable, the top of the well was not secured by either arch or brick work, but only covered with planks.
The indisposition of the Duchess of Württemberg (late Princess Royal of England) making it necessary to remove from Stuttgart to the castle of Louisburg, the states of the country apprehensive that the Duke was about to leave them, presented to him an address, praying that he would remain in the capital. His highness, in reply explained the occasion of his removal; complaints of want of confidence on the part of the states and of his people; and in the event of renewed warfare, expresses reliance on the assurances of the belligerent powers that his territories should be respected.
Letters from the Vistula of the 26th of February, announce extraordinary preparations to be making in Russia for war. Four armies, each to comprise 45,000 men, are now organizing, and will speedily be set in motion; for their accommodation magazines have been formed in the palatinate of Breslau, particularly at Antipole and Pitsk. An army is likewise forming in the Ukraine, and magazines established near Old and New Constantinow, and at Nischieff. An hundred pieces of heavy ordnance and seventy pieces of field artillery, have been collected. The Cossacks are in motion, and forty pieces of cannon have been brought by them from Kiowa to Podolia; and to facilitate the movements of the armies, &c. the roads of Cudnow and Lubar are repairing. At Peterstburg, the Blagodat of 130 guns, and two ships of 66 guns, were building; at Archangel, three of 74, and two frigates of 44; and in the harbors of the Black Sea, the Boltsara and Begorodiza, the Mary Magdalen, and the Swetazara Parafskewa, of 74 guns each. The whole to be ready for sea early in the summer.
At Milan it was reported that a letter had been received from General Lannus, stating that the Pacha of Syria, at the head of an army of 60,000 men, had been defeated in a general engagement by Buonaparte, who had in consequence penetrated into Syria, leaving General Kleber in command of the forces in Egypt.
General La Fayette lately passed through Hamburg for Holland on his way to France, where his wife has been for a considerable time. It is thought that he will be reinstated in his property.
The French colors which have been hoisted at Ehrenbreitstein are 60 yards long. Upwards of 400 deserters from the garrison of Ehrenbreitstein have been apprehended at Coblenz by the French.
General Hobler, with six English officers, has set out from Vienna for Constantinople, in order to organize the Turkish army. In Wallachia they obtained a strong effort to protect them.
At the time that Mr. Thomas Grenville was believed to have perished, several of the papers brought forward, to prove that he was alive, a legend that Mrs. Grenville had always entertained a terror of the water-prevents a kind of proof of his fate. The ambassador, however, has escaped. This story is something like that of the Duke of Suffolk, who, as Shakspeare informs us, was afraid of being drowned because it had been foretold that he should die by water, and accordingly he was killed by a person of the name of Iler!
Yesterday a curious piece of light artillery, the invention of a military officer of rank in the East India Company's service, was brought to the India House for inspection of the Directors. The carriage is so compact, that the whole can be taken to pieces, and the gun dismounted in three minutes, which renders it perfectly useless to an enemy. This is designed for Bengal, and is principally adapted for expedition.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.
Mr. L. a gentleman of great property in the West Indies, about 5 months ago, sent his wife to England, with instructions to find and lay out £50,000, to purchase a house furnish it, &c. and make every preparation for his reception, saying, he would follow in a few weeks in a particular ship; he failed in that ship, but from illness, was landed in another island. The ship was lost—the lady waited; uneasy, she wrote to the West Indies, and finding that he had failed in the
ship which went to the bottom, she concluded he was dead. The lady had obeyed all her husband's commands; but her affections were engaged in this country, and 5 months after she left her husband she was married. In the mean time the husband had received her letters, and was informed of the house she had taken. Last Wednesday he walked into it. The astonishment of the parties may be easily conceived.
PRIVATE LETTER.
DUBLIN, March 14, at Night.
This day the Rev. Dennis Taffe, a conforming priest, who carried on a periodical paper called the Shamrock, and his printer, Joseph Hill, were both taken up for seditious practices, and lodged in Newgate.
It is said that Roger O'Connor has at length obtained a promise of being brought to trial next month.
Military and desolation is fast returning. Rebellion begins again to rear its head. The county of Antrim is about to be proclaimed.
Extract of a letter from Trim, county Meath, 13th March: "The state of this country is not more enviable than that of our more western neighbourhood. The English colonists of the Pale were not in greater danger from the barbarous natives of that day, than every loyal inhabitant of this county now is from banditti and rebels. The American, on the remote settlements, is not more afraid of the tomahawk and scalping knife of the ferocious Indian, than we are of the pike and cruelty of the United Irishman. We are obliged every evening, as soon as it begins to grow dark, to barricade our doors and windows, and place some one of the family as a sentinel to alarm the rest, in case of attack, or the approach of the common or wolfish enemy. Every house, heretofore the residence of security and peace, presents the appearance of a fortification, and worse than feudal precaution, and what with lots of rest and frightful anxiety. I assure you, my friend, you would scarcely know us—nor are we merely afraid of nocturnal attack, but if any man, suspected of loyalty, has occasion to go nine or ten miles from home, he must await the opportunity of forming a party strong in number and armed preparation. For my part, I am almost tired of my influence, and would not hold it much longer on such wretched terms. I hear men talk of national independence and a resident Parliament, and I am not without a little nationality myself on this subject, but when I see that independence cannot give us security of person or property, and that the service a resident parliament can do us is to abolish the civil power, I confess I look to an union as the only hope we have left, and nineteen out of twenty of the men of loyalty and property with whom I converse, are of the same opinion. We feel every sentiment of gratitude to government, and to parliament for the protection they seek to afford us, but we see clearly that all will not do, and that it is utterly impossible things can go on as they are."
Literary Articles.
Of the utility of the Royal Humane Society in England, a judgment may be formed from a report, which states the number if the resuscitated to be 2185. Of five hundred cases of suicide, which have fallen under its cognizance, 350 have been recovered.
The learned readers may recollect a minute account of the horrible properties of the Bohon Upas, or poison tree of Java, by Forster, a Dutch naturalist. The poetical enthusiasm has probably by heart the terrific personification of the same tree, by the vivified imagination of Darwin; but the laborious exaggeration of the fish, and the Ovidian fable of the second author, are completely overthrown by the simple statement of a sober traveller. Inquiry has detected the illusion, and Staunton, secretary to Macartney's embassy, in a plain tale, exposes the lie of a Dutchman and the error of a poet. The government of Batavia proposed an official query to the Javaneses prince, in whose territories this deleterious vegetable was afforded to be growing, who denied any knowledge of such a production. In Java, the narrative of Forster is compared to the ludicrous falsehood of baron Munchausen, and men smile at that early credulity which has given to "any nothing" a malignant power and a cabalistical name.
A late writer says, rather strongly, that the government of China resembles the perpetual aristocracy of Heaven, in that radical point, that it is regulated by mind alone; that it is a mere literary government, in which the skillful, by a perpetual and indefeasible law of nature, conduct and guide the ignorant; that their colleges, instead of ripening fools into babbling senators or pedantic Presbyterian, are dedicated to instruct youth in the united practical sciences of morals and politics; and that men are promoted in exact proportion to their merit and knowledge. It must be remembered by the American reader these are incidents abroad. The population of China, agreeably to the very accurate statements of Sir George Staunton, who derived his information from the proper Chinese officers, amounts to the mighty number of three hundred and thirty three millions, within the great wall of that Empire.

WALPOLE, June 3.
It is the duty of every conductor of a paper to bestow praise on genius and worth, and direct the public eye to science, and, as far as possible, the rays of patronage to fall on every man of talents. This generous species of moral obligation, is still more binding, when a writer of merit, from the wayward accidents of life, or from the neglect of the world, is in "the deep shadow" of obscurity. These prefatory remarks are made to call the public attention to certain easy and elegant poems, which appear in the Charleston S. C. City Gazette, which are signed "John Davis," and, instead of being dated from Parrallos, or Helicon, or, at least, from some of our Union, appears to originate in an obscure hamlet, by the barbarous and wigwam name of Coosawattee. Among the pleasing effusions of this author, who by his patronising country is so neglected, that his name is scarcely known on her rolls, and his writings buried among the rubbish of Advertisements for fugitive slaves, may be enumerated many happy versions and imitations of the more beautiful odes of Horace. In Freneau and Paine's Gazette of the 4th May, there is a free translation of that ode, where Horace strikingly depicts, under the name of Pyrrha the character and wiles of a coquet and a wanton. Davis, though stunted with Indian names and residence among Indian readers, has a mind to comprehend the language and genius, to catch the spirit of a liberal Roman. His translation is more faithful to the original than those of either Francis or Duncombe. We recommend to this gentleman, if he should choose, or be compelled, to remain at Coosawattee, or at innumerable other Indian places, that may be mentioned, as part and parcel of the rightful soil of America, to turn-pedlar, uluier, speculator, or Jew, as soon as possible; or, if the love of poetry and liberal pursuits be paramount, let him embark, even if he have to work for his passage, on board the first vessel bound to G. B. He may be assured that he has no business here. Neither Horace, nor his imitator is inquired for, but where is Buonaparte, and "how a score of ewes."
BOSTON, June 1.
The French Councils are turning their attention to the establishment of a powerful Navy. On the 19th March the Chairman of the Marine Committee presented a long report on the subject to the Council of 500; who ordered it to be printed. The Orator, in introducing the report, said, "Whilst our armies make Europe resound with their exploits, shall we leave our Marine any longer in inaction? The moment is arrived when we shall shew to Europe that there is still a French Navy; we cannot indeed dissemble that it is impossible, in a moment, to restore all the force that belongs to us to a brilliant Re-public; but the zeal of our sailors, and an amelioration in the Administration of the Forests, will make us triumph over every obstacle. Every Frenchman is desirous of putting an end to this painful struggle."
"Our sailors will co-operate in this glorious enterprise. Let the English tremble at the ardour that animates them! In vain does England boast its strength, its navy, and its sailors; we shall soon convince them that our soldiers know how to conquer by sea as well as by land. The Maritime inscriptions will be filled with an ardor which infuses into us the propensity of our commerce."

REGIMENTAL ORDERS.
SAVANNAH, 21st May, 1799. An attempt having recently been made to fire the city of Charleston, and as it is highly probable that incendiaries may be lurking about this city, it is required that the guard be prepared, as usual, at nine o'clock in the evening, and the officer who may command the same is directed to be vigilant in the execution of his duty.
In the event of alarm, occasioned by fire, the volunteer companies will immediately assemble, properly armed and accoutred, as a protection to the city, whilst the remaining citizens may be employed in extinguishing the fire, and will remain under arms, subject to future orders; and in case of alarm, proceeding from any other cause than fire, the companies composing the city battalion will immediately assemble at their usual places of rendezvous, properly armed and accoutred. It is recommended to the citizens to have their arms and ammunition in good order, and so placed that they can be provided with them at any moment in the night. The Lieutenant Colonel recommends to his brethren officers and soldiers the wearing of their uniform and side arms on Sundays and holidays, as it will doubtless tend to keep up that military spirit which is so essential at present.

PHILADELPHIA, May 25, 1799.
JAMES HUMPHREYS Respected Sir, presents his Acknowledgements to those Gentlemen who have been pleased to subscribe to his proposal for a Public Concert in this City: It having now been suggested to him, that a DAILY EVENING ADVERTISER with the MARINE NEWS, a PRICE-CURRENT, &c. on the following Plan, will be more likely to meet general Encouragement.
HE PROPOSES, And trusts it will meet with their approbation, To publish on MONDAY the 17th of June, And to continue it to such as are pleased to encourage it.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
At a public Commencement held on Thursday last, the Degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on Mr. Bayse Newcomb, Mr. John M'Shane, and Mr. Robert M'Shane...
The Salutatory Oration was pronounced by Mr. Bayse Newcomb! The Valedictory by Mr. John M'Shane! and an Oration on the advantages arising from the differences of opinion...
And it is but justice to add, that the young Graders acquitted themselves with uncommon propriety and of course gave every general satisfaction.
Communicated for Publication.
Mrs. Peter Miercken to whom the citizens of Philadelphia are so greatly indebted for her humane exertions during the calamity of last summer, is charged in the Aurora of yesterday "with treading in the footsteps of Joseph Thomas."
A Paragraph falls, so base, and infamous, will disgrace even the Aurora, but cannot fully a character never suspected of dishonor.
Mrs. Miercken left home on Tuesday last, to collect some debts due to her in the Delaware State; her House has never been shut, and her friends hourly expect her return with as much exultation, as the Author of the Paragraph must apprehend it with Fear and Horror.
On Tuesday last, the body of John White who had been drowned from on board the United States frigate, was taken up near Mudfort; and on Thursday having been brought to the City, was interred in the burial ground of St. Mary's church, attended by the officers of the frigate U.S. and her crew, and that of the Delaware sloop of war.
James White brother of the deceased, and James Anderson, take this opportunity of presenting their thanks to the gentlemen belonging to the Port, for their polite and humane services on this occasion.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Glasgow to his friend in this city, dated March 4, 1799.
"The Americans discover great public virtue in shaking off all connection with France, the object of whose government is the subversion of religion and social order; whose industry consists in plundering other nations, and whose genius is calculated, like that of the Devil, for the contrivance of mischief to the rest of mankind; and the fatal execution of it, in a thousand shapes, wherever their power extends. The tide of mischief having flowed so long in their troubled ocean, will, in the natural course of things, ebb, I hope, soon."

St. Sebastian, April 11, '99. "It is with extreme regret that I inform you we were taken on the 8th inst. off Bilbao, about three miles distant from the shore by a French privateer called Le Coragenus, capt. Beck, of Bourdeaux, mounting 30 guns, and carried into Passage; I understand that our trial will commence at Bayonne, where it is conjectured we may be acquitted, from which tribunals the owners of privateers generally appeal to that of Paris, where the decisions made at Bayonne have been universally reversed. The defendants then have it in their power to appeal to the supreme decision of the tribunal at Paris, which in many late instances have been favorable; their process however seldom I am told comes to issue before 10 or 12 months. I have shown a list of the papers to some intelligent merchants of this place, who deem them perfectly satisfactory—the chief thing that we have to dread is, that the captors may withhold some of the most essential papers. The French have decreed that after the 19th Germinal (now past) no privateers shall be fitted out of the ports of France; they will merely grant letters of marque."
"The Austrians and French have again commenced hostilities, and it is reported that the former had gained a complete victory over the latter near the Danube."
Bayonne, April 21. "Capt. P. and myself arrived here on the 17th inst. Our papers have been opened before a Justice of the Peace, the prize master and ourselves, and I have the pleasure to inform you they are entire; there is not I believe any doubt but what we shall be acquitted here but there has not been one solitary instance of a vessel or cargo having been acquitted at Paris, the only chance for us there should the captors appeal to that place is that the Judges may either receive a check or dismissal from the Directory before our trial comes on, as they have been denounced for their venality. The court of cassation at Paris have in several instances lately reversed the decrees of condemnation at Paris."
THE Ambassador of the faction, Doctor Logan, informs the people of the United States, in one of the late Aurora's, that "at present, no government in Europe, is more firmly established, more ably administered, or better calculated to promote the general happiness of its citizens, than that of France."
Carnot, who escaped the 18th Fructidor, as it is called, gives a very different account of this government in his reply to the report of Baillet; and, it is to be presumed, from a more extensive and better acquaintance with the subject than our Doctor could have obtained in his short visit to the Directory. Carnot says, "We are then compelled to believe, for the honor of the Republic, that the people suffer much more today than they did before Fructidor. But each citizen concentrates his grief; there is no way left him to exhale it, since there no longer exists the liberty of the Press; and if he dared to make his complaints heard in his commune, he would be immediately carried before the agents of the Executive power, cast into IRONS, TRANSPORTED OR PUT TO DEATH, as a counter-revolutionist."
If he dared openly to reclaim the rights of a Republican he would be proscribed as a Royalist. In a free country one complains much, although one suffers little; in a country of tyranny one complains little although one suffers much." Doctor Logan says some of the Directory are exemplary moral characters. Cannot, in the work just mentioned, says, "I heard Barras lament more than once, that more had not been killed at Vendemiaire, and Rubel, perfectly of his opinion, proposing one day that we were in great penury, to raise upon Paris a forced contribution of sixty millions in twenty four hours; you would then, cried I, make again terror and death the order of the day. I would that they were already, replied Rubel; I never had but one reproach to make to Robespierre, that was for having been too mild."
"The 19th, when the council expected to the proscription of some representatives, among others Doucet, every one knows the infolent message of the Directory to the Council on that subject, who, somewhat recovered from its first terror, did not change its decision. Then Réveillère said that it was necessary to assassinate Doucet." Again, "I have never heard language so conformable to that of Robespierre, than that of Rubel; nor perceived a more constant desire to annihilate all who are remarkable for superior merit."
He appears, besides, entirely convinced, that probity and civism are two things absolutely incompatible. He cannot conceive that a man without reproach would cast himself into the revolution. One day I made some observations upon the luxury of Merlin de Thionville, after the famous reduction of Mayence, where he was with Rubel in quality of representative of the people; Merlin, who had declared in the Convention, that he had no more than his pay of Deputy to live on; the blush mounted into the face of Rubel, although he possessed the highest degree of art in composing himself. Some days after, he said, as if without design, Merlin is a rogue; I have told him he expends twenty five louis a day at Calvairé; I have been a long time attached to him, because I believed him an honest man, but I have broken with him. He has not however broken with him, and ceases not to be connected in a manner the most intimate with that Merlin." These are Doctor Logan's men, of exemplary moral characters, in whom our exclusive patriots place more confidence than in those who administer their own government.
MR. FENNO. THE press has lately teemed with many fugitive pieces relative to the power vested in the Board of Health, and how far it ought to have been extended. The wanton assault, who commenced hostilities against the health officer and physicians of the port, deserves to be chastised for implicating their knowledge and integrity; also for wishing to arrest from the chief magistrate of the state the power invested in him by the compact, and placing it in the hands of an illiterate, but perhaps a well meaning body of men: this bears the aspect of disorganization, heresy, and sedition, and hypocritical like, under the mantle of drab, b-lows for peace among men, but at the same time is fanning the flame of civil discord: this is Talleyrand intrigue; this is a species of French philosophy, what was formerly called the Piques. This very Philadelphia, this monster of iniquity, is notorious, for severing the bands of certain moral obligations and the ties of love, who under the specious pretext of religion, has disturbed the peace and tranquility of families, and who under the inebriating influence of the cordial of Bacchus, pours forth the malignant effusions of a corrupted heart, and revels in abuse. Hall philosophy and religion! Spurn from your temples, this apostate of truth, this disciple of error, who has been so long drilled to villainy and corruption, that "he does evil, that evil may come of it."
The doctrine inculcated by Philadelphia that "general opinion" ought to be paramount to law in displacing of certain officers appointed by his excellency, is one of the most flagrant outrages of civil policy ever heard of in a well organized government, and deprives the delinquent of the right of trial by his peers in the tribunals of justice instituted for the purpose: this is the same species of innovation, attempted by Genet and the French diplomatic phalanx, some time since, and which was repelled by every federalist with execration. This retailing lawyer, this pettifogger, seems not to have been regulated by any fixed principles of truth or found philosophy, but by a superficial view of the subject, and obtruded it upon the public in a defultory and in an indecent manner. No Physician has ever been appointed to the office alluded to, but men of acknowledged talents and probity; and if the power were given to the Board of Health, which has been so strenuously contended for, no gentleman of medical talents, or independence, would ever accept of the appointment. No man can help feeling the highest indignation at such an humiliating condition, at such an arbitrary stretch of power, and who would with the greatest alacrity hurl back, with contempt to groveling and Jacobein an idea, Those annual demagogues, if they were thus empowered, would conduct themselves like all other bodies of a similar nature: ignarances, cabales, self-love, adulated from social, uncontrollable power, without any kind of check, would influence the actions of those men, and reduce them in some measure to a state of nature, from which God preserve us! This species of power, invested in numbers, is like the descending of former times, and is approaching to the philosophy of modern times, which is so strikingly exemplified in the hydra of France. The prototype of universal domination, which is one of the greatest curses that can be interwoven in any government; and yet this wifecare looks upon it as the bulwark of our liberty.
The infolent parasite, to dare to use terms of opprobrium to men bred to science, and who are generally remarkable for their patriotism and urbanity, to guild his infamous pill with the prejudices of the times, and give credence to his doctrines, by the assumption of federalism, in contradistinction to the odious epithet of illuminati. This kind of subterfuge is highly incompatible with the magnanimity of a federalist, and never could be resorted to by any one who feels the moral obligation of a covenant, and I should be ready to pronounce him a "wolf in sheeps clothing."
To philosophize upon the origin of yellow fever would be casting pearls before him, but the time will not long elapse, before it will be proved that the poison is of the manufactory of this place, and that it is effused on the pavement, &c. that animals whose respiratory organs are near the surface of the earth, are more liable to be affected, than those further removed; the air is more laborious in the third story here in the summer season, than in the first; also that the disease is not contagious, for the gases which produce the disease is decomposed in the body of the patient, and the effluvia arising from him, cannot give it to another. There is not one well established fact to prove it among all the records of ancient and modern authorities of any celebrity—More in my next. FEDERALIST.
THE following extract of a letter from a gentleman of veracity in Virginia, will show to what extent false theories and false patriotism will drive men, who assume to themselves an infallibility of thinking, and acting upon all political subjects. It must be evident to every reflecting and well disposed person, who is not blinded by party, or French principles, that an army has become necessary, to the tranquility of our country; to prevent a foreign ambitious nation, from dictating the course we ought to pursue, in our political and commercial arrangements; to enable us to meet hostilities when that power shall find it convenient in its wisdom, to commence them; and to insure from every nation of Europe, that degree of consideration, to which we are justly entitled. Is it possible, that any thing short of a regular, well disciplined and organized army, and a growing navy, can produce these effects, or induce foreign nations in their transactions with ours, to respect our rights, or treat us as they ought? Let us hope, that it is the dregs of a dying party, in a respectable State, which have dared, thus openly to oppose the execution of a law, and that the magistracy will interpolate their authority on such occasions, to punish offenders.
"Station, May 24th, 1799. The violent opposition to the measures of the general government, and the apparent determination to defeat (by every indirect means) the intention of such laws, as they may chuse to consider unconstitutional, acts as a strong barrier, against the recruiting service; at Buckingham Court, a drummer, (after beating) laid his drum on a bench, in the Tavern porch, and in a few minutes after, one of its heads was cut open, but the perpetrator not discovered. I am sorry to hear, that a like disposition, seems to prevail in too many parts of this State."
New-London, June 5. Well grounded hopes are entertained, that a Navy-Yard and Arsenal will be established in this port. Gentlemen of first maritime knowledge do not hesitate to pronounce, that the excellence of our harbor, with the numerous other local advantages which we possess, place us in a view to bear competition with the best Ports of the United States. The advantages which would arise from such an establishment here, must forcibly strike every person of the least discernment.
Granting that in every other respect, this port is equally as eligible for a naval depot as any other in the Union, it must be confessed that in point of national feelings and affection for the Government, the character of our city abroad is incompatible with some other places contemplated, stands far in the background. It is therefore of importance, that it should be known, and respectable and influential citizens ought to consider it as an important duty to inculcate the truth abroad, that nine-tenths of our best citizens are firmly attached to the men and measures of our government; and that the minority are inconspicuous in every respect. If timely exertions are made from their proper sources the hum of business may yet pervade every street of our too much neglected city; money will be plenty, population rapidly increase, mechanics of every kind find full employ; and New-London in a few years take a deserved seat amongst the most respectable cities of the nation.

POTTSBORO, JUNE 7, 1799.
THE Montgomery county Light Dragoons (those who are for the support of the Federal Government, and no others) will meet at Pottsgrove the 4th day of July, next, at 11 o'clock, forchoon, in uniform.
ROBERT SHAW, Captain. N. B. The above troop are now duly commissioned, notwithstanding the opposition given by a certain John Richards and the Brigade Inspector George Weaver, both sworn Democrats.—Richards is now making all the interest in his power to get into the Senate in the room of Mr. Potts; he did his best indeed, in Pottsgrove to get into the Assembly last election, and was to votes behind.
One of Richards' gang had the impudence to say in Pottsgrove the other day, that if Fries was not executed he would certainly be returned a member of the Assembly at the next election. The writer of this would rather see Richards and Snell both hung than this should come to pass.
This Richards is at the head of about 700 hundred deluded men, and the only man in Montgomery county that caused the insurrection there, by the symbol of sedition that he had put up at the Swamp Church the 22d of July last. For the author, enquire of the printer.
