Forty Dollars Reward FOR APPREHENDING A GENTLEMEN NEGRO, By name GEORGE or GEORGE PARKER, the property of the subscriber, who has thought proper, on the night of the 21st inst. toelope from his master without any provocation or just cause; he was formerly the property of Beckwith Butler, Esq. and lived a considerable time with Porter, who kept tavern in Frederickburg, having seen much company and travelled with several gentlemen through different parts of this state, he is much known. It is therefore conjectured, he will pull for some of the northern cities or towns as he has discovered an aversion to plantation work, though he has perhaps crossed the ridge where he has a brother belonging to major Butler. This fellow is about five feet seven inches high, well proportioned and walks active and brisk, his countenance is open and agreeable enough when in good humour; he can hardly be forsook in thievishness, and is a very capable waiting-man, house servant, barber, &c. To describe his dress would be useless, as he possessed a variety of clothes, though when dressed lately, he wore a green coat bound with white ferretting and spotted jacket and treches. Whoever brings him home or secures in jail in this or any other state the said slave, for that I may get him again, shall have the above re- ward. ALEXANDER VASS. Falmouth, Oct. 23, 1798. N.B.—Masters of vessels and Stage Drivers are requested to beware of suffering said fellow to impose on them by assisting his escape. A. V. November 3. dtf
A French Classical & Mathematical SCHOOL. WILL be opened on Monday the 22d. instant at that large commodious room formerly occupied by Mr. Leo in Norris's Alley, No. 35, nearly opposite the City Tavern; under the direc- tion of Messrs.

The first Monday in November, they also pro- pose to open an evening school for French, book- keeping, surveying and navigation, of which they have a practical as well as theoretical knowledge. As a number of French gentlemen will attend, the students of their language, by continually convers- ing with them, as well as their teachers, will ac- quire, along with the principles, a facility of ex- pression.

Communication. Citizens of America, TO menaces of vengeance, on the part of the French regency, have succeeded pro- fessions of peace. But their practice still evinces the spirit of plunder and domina- tion; and, while their practice thus falsifies their professions, you have palpable demon- stration of their perfidy. To judge men by their conduct, is un- questionably just. This rule, indeed, may be offensive to knaves; but to honest men it is precious. Applying it, therefore, to the French regents, you may be assured, that no reverence for public faith, no sen- timent of liberality, no deference for your national rights, no abhorrence of rapine, no conviction of justice, has produced the recent change in their language. Can you, with all your sagacity, be weak enough to believe that, because they have varied their cast of style, they have ceased to be avaricious, arrogant, unprin- cipled? Words cost them nothing; these, therefore, and these alone, they give with profusion. Such is their national friendship —the friendship of the robber, who boasts of his generosity and advances a claim of gratitude because he does not commit mur- der. But have you yet learned that the cut- throat can pretend to humanity when he be- lieves the pretence will fail to save his projects? Political duplicity and perfidy are strat- agems of the French warfare. Hence, it be- comes you to mark well their language of pretended peace. Does it, in a single in- stance, propose a specific redress of your wrongs? On the contrary, does not the whole consist of ostentatious professions and general declarations?—Professions and de- clarations which pledge them to nothing, and which prove nothing except their pur- poses of seduction?
Their language, like their government, has been in a revolutionary state, and is me- tamorphosed as suits their rapacity or ambi- tion. Thus, by peace, as applied to America, they mean a state of things essentially different from what honest men like your- selves would understand by the same expres- sion. You, doubtless, would attach to it the idea of the enjoyment of your national rights, "liberty, sovereignty and independence absolute and unlimited as well in matters of go- vernment as of commerce." They, however, mean by it such a state of things as they allow to their miserable provinces—a state of things which would give them the preponderance in your coun- cils, the control of your elections, the nomi- nation of your President, the appoint- ment of your public ministers, the direction of your forces, the monopoly of your com- merce, the command of your wealth—a peace in which they may rob and fight you at pleasure while you must submit with pa- tience—a peace which, whenever they order, involves you in a war with the rest of the world—a peace which in its consequences, not only seizes your property but robs you of your honor, of your constitution, your system of education, your domestic securi- ty, your morals, your religious liberty. Such is the PEACE which they would allow you. If such be the peace you would ac- cept—go! submit to the French Divan! own them for your masters! but renounce forever the name of Americans! ALFRED.
FRENCH FINANCES. The following report was made in the month of June last (1 Prairial.) Council of Five Hundred, "Villers in the name of the committee of Finance, answered the several objections made against his report, the object of which is to cover a deficit of 92 millions in the re- ceipts for the 6th year, which have been fixed at 616 millions. "The legislature said Villers, ought to be employed about the finances but once a year, that is, when it is necessary to see the re- ceipts and expenditures—after that nothing more is to be done and I would not address you now on the subject, if the promised re- ceipts had produced the expected amount. "Here I must inform the council, that there will be reductions in the expenditures of the year 7, but it is impossible to oper- ate any in the present year. "Of all the objects of taxation specified in the law of the 9th Vendémiaire last (30th September 1797,) I know but of one which exceeds the presumed product, it is the cus- toms. It was supposed they would produce 8 millions, it is now certain that they have produced 12, but it must be observed, that this increase, arising from the seizure of English goods, is therefore only temporary and cannot be expected to continue. "The Stamps fixed at 16 millions, will only produce 15; and the registering of acts and deeds, which was expected to pro- duce 71 millions, will hardly bring 61. "The measures now proposed by your committee are still insufficient, since they will only produce 18 millions, and we have to provide for a deficiency of 62 millions. These measures consist only of modifications of an existing law, and that others will be proposed to you successively by your com- mittee. "We yet have near 400,000 men under arms, whose pay amounts to three millions per decade, which makes 108 millions per annum; you are acquainted with the other expenditures of the republic. To defray all these expenses the treasury has not received 200 millions since the 1st of last Vendémiaire (22d Sept. 1797.) "Although the peace is assured on the continent, yet we ought not to diminish that the expense will remain the same while the negotiations at Rastadt continue, and they have now lasted four months. "Great Britain, which has only to de- fend herself against the French republic, has fixed her expenditures for the current year at 726 millions. I now ask, whether 616 millions are too large a sum for the expendi- tures of the republic during the same space.
of time!" [There never was a more palp- able falsehood.] He moved that the report be debated by articles. Chollet and several other members object- ed to such a precipitate discussion. They moved for a recommitment of the whole subject, and to adjourn the business until after the committee should have reported a new, and their report shall have been pub- lished.—Agreed.
GEORGIA SANS CULOTTISM! AUGUSTA, Oct. 20. October Term, 1798. The following are the presentments of the Grand Jury of the county of Jefferson.
WE present as a public nuisance the Au- gusta Southern Centinel, and as a public grievance, the editor and printer thereof; for suffering to be inserted therein, anony- mous pieces against the chief Magistrate of this State: A man whose abilities on every occasion have been honestly exerted for the benefit of his fellow citizens; whose services have done honour to his country, and on whose integrity and conduct, we have the most perfect reliance. Moreover, such scur- rilous publications appear to be intended to take away the confidence of the people in the government of our country; which, when avowed publications, much less ano- nymous scribblers, are permitted to do, it is no longer the liberty, but the licentious- ness of the press. And we conceive the said printer to have been tantalizing the in- habitants of this county, and insulting the public in general, when he impressed the late legislature with an idea, that he meant to establish a press in the town of Louisville. On the oath of Valentine Hatcher— 2d. We present Matthias Dutton for stealing a steer from Jean Dawkins. J. B. Spivey, John Gamble, W. B. Lochmon, Wm. M. Gabee, John Cowart, Wm. Hardwick, John Scott, Wm. McDowell, Solomon Wood, M. Shelman, B. Whitaker, Jesse Paulett, John Cobbs, Taud. C. Key, Josiah M. Sterrett. [The foregoing is taken from the origin- al, and published at the request of two of the Grand Jurors.]
It is unnecessary to add that the obno- xious Gazette has been uniformly distinguish- ed, no less for brilliancy of wit, than con- fidelity to the interests of federalism. Citizen Talleyrand's last correspondence with Mr. Gerry has, in some degree, had its in ended effect, in this quarter, by fur- nishing the French faction with fresh proofs (as they call them) of the friendly disposi- tions of that wretched nation towards this country; none, however but those coward- ly and trimming democrats, who, from mo- tives of fear only have given symptoms of their political conversion, or those brave ja- cobs who have kept a sullen silence, and thus preserved their sans-culotte virtue and dignity uncontaminated, contemplate the infamous epistles of Talleyrand Perigord, [that traitor to his God and his country!] in any other point of view than as a com- mon manoeuvre of revolutionary diplomatic skill: This is certainly the case, but it is not all;—it is the signal for vengeance and destruction to America, that moment it is in their power. The language of concilia- tion, when coming from the new govern- ment of France, invariably covers the most rancorous hatred and the most determined revenge, just as their denunciations of na- tional punishment and annihilation are mere bugbears—They calculate in the true spirit of villainy and duplicity, that in the one instance they will have all the advan- tages which a careless security on the part of the devoted can give,—and on the other, that they may obtain by threats what is in- convenient to be attempted by action. Exam- ine their respective professions of friend- ship and fraternity to the several unhappy countries they have swallowed up, and this principle will be found invariably to govern; nay, defended to the individual victims of the revolution, and it will be found, that neither Louis XVI, Brissot, Danton nor any one who were suspected of possessing the least popular influence, ever received the final stroke of the guillotine but under the strong- est assurances of mercy and forgiveness. Fear any hostile attacks; we have little to fear; but against French friendship and fra- ternity, God defend us!

The Secretary at War's letter to the go- vernor, seems to be adduced by way of sanction to our State Constitution—hence there must be some doubt in the breast of the executive of its being well calculated for the happiness of the people of Georgia, or he would rest satisfied with the opinions of those whom it governs; the publication of the before mentioned letter ought to induce discussions of what may be con- sidered the interesting parts of our constitu- tion, that the community may be enabled to understand, how an attempt to rob one part of the citizens of their property, without even advantaging any other part of them, can conduce either to the interests or happiness of Georgians—also how far it is consistent with rights never before question- ed, to change the channel of conventional elections and convert the legislature into a body capable of framing fundamental as well as incidental laws; to search for the motives of making this change, as well as to investigate its true operation as to execu- tive influence, whether such were the views of the present governor, or not; to analyze the happy constitution generally, and finally to endeavor to ascertain in what important points it differs from that copy (or rather original) which was fabricated in the county of Cutham previous to the meeting of the convention.

HAMBURG, August 29.
The Prussian Minister, Mr. Shultz, has been insulted in this city in open day, and in the street.
Two young Merchants, barred his passage even at his own door with their horses. The Prussian ambassador grew angry; upon which one of these gentlemen threatened him with his whip. Some one observed to him that he should take care what he did, as he was quarrelling with the ambassador of the King of Prussia. But he replied in an intrepid and careless manner that he did not care for the ambassador of the king of Prussia and used insulting terms.
Mr. Shultz has taken up the affair very seriously; and preferred his complaint with much vehemence. It is even asserted he has given in his resignation to the Senate of Hamburg.
RIGA, (Russia) August 20.
In virtue of the severe orders of his Majesty, to prohibit the entry of foreigners into this country, an English vessel having on board English merchants and French emigrants from England, was stopped until permission is received from Petersburg to admit her. She has been five days at anchor in the gulph of Livonia, some distance from our road. The emigrants declare themselves belonging to the pretender, for whom they have dispatches; but they will have to wait as well as the others. The commandant of Riga has not been sorry to find this opportunity of paying them, for the favors which the Emperor, has lavished upon the emigrants, since an asylum has been granted them in his states.
In general the natives of the country are jealous of the reception which has been given the emigrants. Another kind of jealousy that concurs to make them disliked is, that which they have caused the husbands to entertain of their wives.
Since the Pretender has established his court at Mittau, our court ladies are become more inquisitive; and, perhaps, more amiable also; a dith is what the men cannot bear. Several of our rich heiresses have gone so far as to prefer the indigent gallantry of these refugee chevaliers to the savage opulence of the natives of the country. Among the marriages which have taken place, we particularly remark that of the countess Beaucourt, who, without any other merit, brought as her fortune only an elegant figure, and uncommonly seducing manners.
It is said that the daughter of the governor of Kiow, is to be married to M. De Cazales, so well known by the part which he played in France at the commencement of the revolution.
It is however true that the partiality of our ladies for the French is a little over; and whether from the inconstancy natural to the sex, or that disgust had really succeeded the amiability of their lover, they seem more shy of them. The Emperor, more constant in his taste, continues to load the pretender and his court with favours. The people murmur. But he, whose only aim is by this conduct to people his vast estates, procures them every means of establishing themselves. There is no emigrant, of a reasonable age, recommended by the French chiefs, who has not obtained a quantity of land, the produce of which is more than sufficient to supply all his wants.
The remainder of the corps of Conde is expected here. This army which has preserved only its name, since its entry into the Russian territory, for the purpose of maintaining a military jurisdiction over its members, is decreasing as fast as they can build habitations. The emperor views them as so many farmers; and the inviting of them to his Empire was only a political speculation.
PARIS, September 2.
Extract of a letter from Malaga, dated August 10, 1798
We learn a piece of intelligence which will appear somewhat strange to you, and will no doubt give room for some warm discussion between your government and ours. Three Spanish ships failed from our port to get cargoes of leaf Tobacco; where? Even in the port of Gibraltar; and for whom? Even for the king of Spain who wants it for his works at Seville. Upon their return (from Gibraltar!) a French privateer stops them, finds them furnished with passports from the English Governor and conducts them to Algeziras. That is to say, that three Spanish vessels are about to be sold in a port of their nation by one of their allies. But you will ask us; Is the property proved to be English? "Are the papers of these vessels justly suspected?" "Is the communication with an enemy's port sufficiently clear?" Yes; but we shall reply: "How! will you not suffer us to import lawful merchandise: from wherever we can find it, and above all in a port in which it abounds, in a port which lies between those who buy and those who are to consume it; Will you hinder your ally from supplying his manufactures, and thus drain the source of one of his principal revenues. The questions will be found knotty, and I fear may produce evil consequences."
ST. ELDEFONSO, (Spain) Aug. 27.
The events of which the disgrace of Jovelanos was the prelude are successively disclosing themselves. This ex-minister passed three days at Madrid, and left on the 23rd of this month for the Tajo waters, whence he will proceed to Oyon, the place fixed by the King for his residence. We are now at the period of Offra-
Thirteen distinguished persons, the greater part general officers, have just been exiled from the capital and from the court. Valdes and Negretti, two Generals, the one to Malaga, the other to Pampelune; the inspector of
infantry, Pardo, to the coast of Granada; Solano, Maréchal de camp, to San Sebastian; Caragano, to Badajoz; Cagigal, to Gaudia; Valles, to Barcelona; the young duke of Cillon Mahon, to Estramadura. &c. It is not yet known who has instigated these rigorous measures. There is another selection from the court, but in a manner less painful, of three grandees of Spain, whose absence is thought to be more useful than their presence. The king having just given them diplomatic missions, viz the duke of Offuna to Vienna; the duke del Parque to Petersburg; the duke d'Uceda, to Lisbon; other changes are expected. We are in every respect in a violent crisis, the result of which cannot be foreseen. The ambassador of the French Republic is here permanently.
The Grand Inquisitor who is thought to be one of the principal actors in these alarming scenes, is himself menaced with the victim of them. It is much questioned whether he will not be sent to his archbishopric of Burgos. His successor will probably be Muñoz her majesty's confessor, and according to the known character of this prelate, the strictest precautions may be expected. The health of the inquisitor Scedyra, alternately gives hopes and fears. He is now unwell. It is said that the person named to supply his place, has been mortified by the foreign ministers refusing to confer with him; but we do not venture to speak positively.
The Ami des Loix, (for we will receive it) was not well informed when it said that citizen Truguet was daily expected at Paris. It is certain that he is still Madrid, and not disposed to leave it.
* Note of the Editor. This is the same person who with permission of the Directory, accompanied general Moreau, during the Campaign of the 4th year in the celebrated retreat from Bavaria.

BOSTON, October 31.
Yesterday, the natal day of the beloved Citizen who presides over the interests and honor of the United States; was celebrated in this town, with unusual marks of high respect, veneration and esteem. To trace the names as testimonials, which individual patriotism exhibited, would occupy a great part of our paper—we must therefore notice those only of a more general aspect.
In the morning, at noon, and at sunset, the ringing of all the bells, the firing of cannon, and found of martial music, awakened and kept alive, the most grateful feelings.
The Theatre was uncommonly crowded, last evening. "Adams and Liberty" was sung and encores; as well as the "Green Mountain Farmer." His Excellency the Governor, accompanied by Major General Elliot, and suite, and the Sheriff of Norfolk, honored the performances with their presence. The Columbia Museum was handsomely illuminated.
An elegant entertainment was given at Concert-Hall, at which were present, His Excellency the Governor; His Honor the Lieutenant Governor; the President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives; Judges of the Federal Court, and the Supreme Judicial Courts; Members of Congress, and of the State Legislature; Reverend Clergy; Foreign Consuls; Officers of the Army and Navy, and other distinguished characters. The following were the toasts given:
 1. The Thirtieth of October; new style, May it ever be celebrated, while integrity, firmness and spirit are public virtues, and so long as American Independence is worthy of preservation.  2. The PRESIDENT of the United States—whose spirit animates his country, whose wisdom foils the intrigues of corruption, and whose fortitude leads us to triumph.  3. Lieutenant-General WASHINGTON—the pride, the boast, the father, the protector of his country. In peace a Senate, and in arms a host.  4. The congress of the United States—May they never again follow, instead of leading the public opinion.  5. The judiciary of the United States. May they continue to prove, that they are the constitutional bulwark and defence of rational liberty.  6. The Secretary of State—May the State always have such a Secretary.  7. The Secretary at War—May his eminent talents find ample employment, unless our enemies learn to be more just, or less insolent.  8. The Secretary of the Navy—May he never be addressed by our officers, unless to announce a victory.  9. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts—May she check by her vigilance and unanimity, every error which shall endanger the peace and happiness of the Union.  10. The Influence of religion on our laws—its Establishment on our hearts.  11. Our best national friends and only natural allies—our army, navy, finances and public virtue.  12. The American Eagle—May the plots of disorganizers be pierced by his eye, and their opposition fall under his talons.  13. Old times—Old principles, and none of the gipsey jargon of France.  14. May we be armed against the insidious wiles of the apostate bishop! The sleeping crocodile is more dangerous than the roaring lion—Ask Switzerland and Geneva.  15. The Officers of the Army and Navy of the United States—May they prove themselves to be the legitimate sons of Mars, and may their portion of his estate, be future fame.  16. May those who have organized into system, corruption and treachery, be forever excluded American hearts and harbours. 
After the Governor had retired. The Governor—May every Officer in the United States be clothed with the same integrity, and meet equally the approbation of his fellow-citizens.

PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7.
By the extortionate prices exacted by the market people for every necessary of life at this abundant season of an uncommonly abundant year, the poor Citizen is actually compelled, after escaping the horrors of pestilence, to suffer the evils of a factitious Famine. The consciences of these people is unfortunately the only tribunal we can appeal to, and one may judge how much is to be expected from that conscience which can attempt to exact Two Dollars for a small Turkey in the month of November.
However laudable may be the motives which operate with the Schuylkill Tent Committee, to induce the proposed measure of marching the people thence to the City, in a body,—the obvious objections to the measure are so striking that it is surprising they should not have been seen and felt. It is to be hoped the general disapprobation every where manifested at this intended step, will operate seasonably to prevent it.
General Washington is expected to visit this City, about the 1st of next month.
General Daniel Smith, late Secretary to the Governor of the Territory South of the Ohio, is elected a Senator from Tennessee, in the room of Andrew Jackson, Esq. appointed a Judge.
The reign of Justice.
In the House of Representatives of the state of Vermont, on the 24th ult. Mr. Albin moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That Isaac Clark, a member of this House, having been guilty of a high misdemeanor [concealing the vote in favor of the Federalists] and breach of trust, as one of the Committee for receiving, sorting and counting, the votes for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, and Counsellors, be expelled from this house. Agreed to.

Messengers from the Governor of Vermont, to the General Assembly of that state, on the 23d ult.
In Council, Oct. 23, 1798.
MR. SPEAKER, I do myself the honor to lay before the General Assembly, certain papers, together with an application made to me by a deputation from a number of Indian Chiefs, of the seven nations of Lower Canada, who conceive they have an equitable claim to compensation for the loss of their Hunting Lands, within this state.
As they are attending in this place, for the sole purpose of receiving an answer to their application, you will give me leave to suggest the propriety of an early attention to the within communications.
ISAAC TICHENOR.
We are authorised to say, that the Hon. Elbridge Gerry, Esq. does not wish to be considered as a candidate for the second middle district, as he will not serve, if unanimously chosen. Col. Cent.
The chiefs, Tinouwe, Assamassah, So-nououououwe, Tassah, Toououououwe, and Goodstream, were then introduced to the honorable house.
The latter delivered a talk, expressive of the object of their mission, in which he hoped, that as they had come so far, from the Great Council fire of their own nation, to talk with the great council of Vermont, in their big wigwam in Vergennes, they should be heard with attention—that the Great Spirit might brighten the chain of friendship between us, & keep it so plain, that a little child may find it when the sun is asleep in his blanket.
After delivering their credentials, the chiefs retired, and the subject was committed for the consideration of the House.
Last Sunday morning the body of a woman, seemingly about 24 years of age, was found on the Wilmington road, in the state of Delaware, a little beyond Naaman's creek, with her throat cut into the bone of the spine—her left hand was deeply wounded, probably in the struggle she had made to save her life. Her dress was pretty nearly that marked as "gay quakers;" she wore a white gown, white gloves, white fatin bonnet, green petticoat, and drab cloak.
From papers found in her pocket, her name would seem to have been Patty Adams, and that she had lived with Squire Blackwood, Raccoon creek, Jersey, from the 4th July till 6th September.

Celebration of the President's Birth-Day.
Tuesday last the 30th of October, the anniversary of the birth of our illustrious President JOHN ADAMS, was celebrated in a manner worthy of the memorable occasion, and highly indicative of the patriotic spirit of our citizens. A very large company of Gentlemen, partook of an elegant dinner prepared for the purpose at captain Foubert's tavern, to which Judge Cushing, and Judge Bedford (the Circuit Court of the United States being then in session) and the honorable James A. Bayard were invited. After dinner the following toasts were drank:
 1. The President of the United States, and the auspicious day which gave him birth.  2. Lieutenant General George Washington.  3. The Constitution of the United States—the palladium of our rights and liberties.  4. The Judiciary—the pillars of society and government.  5. The members in both houses of Congress—may wisdom, virtue and energy mark their legislative measures.  6. Our late Commissioners to the French republic—may their example be the model of American "diplomatic skill."  7. War in preference to a dishonorable peace.  8. The American character—may it be distinguished by kindness to its friends, and vengeance to its enemies.  9. The Navy of the United States—may it avenge the injuries, and efface the insults offered to our country.  10. The American Eagle—may it soar triumphantly through the regions of the world.  11. The true Patriot—the Enforcer of the laws, and the enemy of licentiousness.  12. The Alien and Sedition Acts—Salary laws—a prompt and faithful execution of them.  13. The army and militia of the United States—useful executive bodies when ordinary means fail.  14. The Democrats—may they repent of their sins and be forgiven—turn from their wicked ways and live.  15. Commerce and Agriculture—the mutual support of each other, and inexhaustible sources of wealth to this country.  16. The American Fair—amiable, beautiful and lovely—may their times be ever the distinguishing and enviable reward of the virtuous and the brave. 
VOLUNTEERS.
 The Judges being absent. Judge Cushing—may his charge to the grand jury be the creed of Federalists. Judge Bedford. Timothy Pickering—may he continue the contrast of his predecessor. By Capt. Israel—May every man professing federal principles at all times hold himself in readiness to support them with his life and fortune. By Judge Cushing—Governor Bassett. By Judge Bedford—The reign of federalism, may it continue to defend and refresh the American earth, without obfuscation from the throb of democracy. By Mr. McLane—Matthew Lyon's fate to all the spitting fashion. By Mr. James A. Bayard—The American people—may they be sensible that their government is a part of themselves. By Mr. George Read—The role of federalism may it eternally bloom. By Doct. Styles—The empire of the Seas—may it be governed by the laws of justice, and not of force. By Mr. Barratt—Alexander Hamilton. By Mr. Saml. White—A successful coalition of all the nations of the earth against the insolent tyrants of France. By Mr. Hamilton—The Secretary of the Navy. 
Newark, Nov. 6.
We are informed by a gentleman from Vermont, that Gen Fletcher, (Sheriff of Windham County) on his way to Vergennes, the seat of government, was attacked, on the West side of the mountain, by a party of Lyon's deluded wretches, who attempted to disarm his federal badge; but being armed with a well loaded hunting whip, he resolved to defend himself, for which purpose he aimed a stroke at one of them, which killed him on the spot. The Gen. we are told, has surrendered himself for trial.
