From the American Daily Advertiser. 1 Messrs. Claypoole, On perusing your paper of Monday, under the head of New-York, dated July 22d, I read with that emotion which every philanthropic mind must feel, the unwarrantable arrest of two citizens of the United States, named Davis and Martin. The cause of their being impressed was, they had neither of them documents to prove they were Americans—and their persons, which had much the resemblance of men-of-wars-men, betrayed the officer into an error who took them out of the ship Chatham, at Gravesend. If an active disposition had been shown by the persons whose duty it was, to procure an oath attested before Mr. Johnston the American Consul in London, certifying the two men in question were Americans, and delivered in before the Regulating captain at that port, before they were sent down to the Nore, it would have been strictly attended to. In reply to the latter part of the charge speaking of the non-attention to the certificates of citizenship, I beg to contradict, as far as has related to myself, having commanded ships many years, and within two years last past in particular. I have never lost a seaman who had a certificate of his citizenship about him, but have met the most polite treatment from officers of men of war and press gangs in general. The diabolical practice of taking men into a service, contrary to their inclination, cannot be defended, but a service once established so extensive as the navy of Great-Britain, requires unjoint means to obtain men sufficient to answer their purpose, for those stationed in the West or East-Indies especially. Mr. Johnston does grant certificates to Americans, where the sailors have none from their own country; but to prevent their being impressed, they can obtain one by applying to him, and the fee I have always understood was an emolument to the clerks for their extra trouble attendant on that duty—and three weeks is long enough for sailors to be strolling in Wapping; they indeed generally contrive to part with their dollars in much less time, and after they have shipped again for their homeward passage, the commander can and ought to see his men protected, independent of further expense, by a legal application to the American Consul. Indeed, I accuse my brother commanders with negligence, for not seeing their men in possession of certificates of citizenship, at the time he pays them their month's advance, before he sails from home. This would effectually keep his crew together on an European voyage in particular. My motive for noticing this insertion of York news, is no other than to declare truth and detect fallacy; for if opinions are formed by the seamen, that protections are useless, we shall find much difficulty in procuring men to work our ships, and those we may get at most extravagant wages.

For the Gazette of the United States. HISTORICAL NOTICES Of the Kingdom of Sardinia. (CONTINUED) To complete the Duke's misfortunes, the city of Geneva, the sovereignty of which he claimed, seized this opportunity to assert its freedom, and the result produced also that of the neighboring territories. The Genevans boldly asserted their independence against the duke; and by the assistance of the Swiss canton of Berne, were enabled to defeat all his efforts. Taking advantage of his inability, while overwhelmed by the armies of France, they also seized all the castles and places of strength in their neighbourhood. The canton of Berne at the same time conquered the Pays de Vaud. The canton of Fribourg, too, although they had no quarrel with the duke, were unwilling to lose so favorable an opportunity, and seized a considerable part of Charles's territory. Being still retained by the two cantons, these acquisitions have become the most valuable part of their territory, and add considerably to their power. The treachery of the marquis of Saluces was the means of restoring to Charles many towns in Piedmont; and this principality would have been reconquered with the same facility that is requisite to march through it, had not the governor of Pissano detained the Imperial army a month before that inconsiderable place. Thus the treason of Saluces was checked. A truce for three months ensued; this stipulated that each party should retain what they possessed. A truce for ten years followed, in 1555, by which Francis I. was secured in possession of half the duke's dominions. The Emperor still retained possession of the other cities not ceded to the French, and the unfortunate duke found himself shut up in Nice, the only corner of which he kept possession. He saw the rest divided between a powerful invader and the ally to whose protection he had trusted. I has exhibiting a sad monument of the imprudence of those who, by taking part in the quarrel of mighty neighbors, are crushed and overwhelmed in the shock. In 1543, war having broken out afresh, the duke of Savoy was besieged in Nice by the French, in conjunction with the Turkish admiral Barbarossa, who had been joined by a French fleet with a body of land forces under the duke d'Enguien. The town was gallantly defended by Montfort, a Savoyard gentleman, who stood a general assault and repulsed the enemy, before he retired into the castle. In that fort, situated on a rock, on which the enemy could make no impression, and which could not be undermined, he held out so long that Doria had time to advance with his fleet. Upon intelligence of this, the siege was raised. Shortly after this period Charles died. By the treaty of Chateau Cambresis in 1559, the duchy of Savoy, principality of Piedmont, the country of Bresse, and most of the other territories were restored to his son Philibert Emanuel, at that time commander of the Spanish armies.
PITTSBURGH, July 23. Correspondence between General Wilkinson of the American army, and Colonel England, of the British army, commanding at Detroit. Head Quarters, Greenville, May 27, 1796. Sir, PERMIT me to offer you my hearty congratulations, on the final ratification of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, between our respective countries, officially announced to me by the minister of war, and promulgated in the gazettes, which I do myself the pleasure to enclose to you. As the delivery of the posts, held by your royal master's troops, within the limits of the United States, makes one condition of the compact; it is my wish to concert with you, the measures which
may be deemed expedient, to the faithful execution of this stipulation, and to prevent any unnecessary interval, between the periods of your evacuation and of my occupancy. I stand in perfect readiness for the operation, and entertaining no doubt that the treaty will be fairly, fully and punctiliously executed, on the part of his majesty, it becomes my duty to request information from you, of the day on which it may be convenient for you to withdraw the troops under your command, from the territory of the United States. My aid-de-camp, Capt. Shamburgh, will have the honor to deliver this letter to you, and he will receive and forward your answer to me, by express, to meet the advanced corps of the army, in the vicinity of Roche de Bout. With much personal respect and esteem, I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, JAMES WILKINSON, Brigadier-General. Lieut. Col. ENGLAND, of the 24th Regt. British Infantry, or Commanding Officer, at Detroit. Detroit, June 10, 1796.
Sir, I HAD the honor of receiving by your aid-de-camp, Capt. Shamburgh, your letter under date the 27th ult. mentioning your wish to concert with me, such measures as may be deemed expedient for delivering up this post to you, and requesting to know the day that it would be convenient for me to withdraw the troops under my command from the territory of the United States. And in answer beg to inform you, that in consequence of orders from his Excellency Lord Dorchester, buildings are erecting on the ground directed by his Excellency to be occupied on the opposite side of this river, for the accommodation of his majesty's troops, and the protection of his stores, preparatory to evacuating this post, agreeably to the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, concluded between Great-Britain and the United States, and that those buildings are in great forwardness, but not having as yet received his final orders to evacuate the post under my command, it is not possible for me to fix on a day for that purpose. I have, however, strong reasons for supposing, that those orders will not be unnecessarily delayed, and when I receive them it will afford me much pleasure in communicating to you, the time that I shall be able to withdraw the troops, and to concert with you such measures as may be deemed expedient for your immediately occupying the post under my direction. I beg further to add, that from the preparations already made, a few days will be sufficient to accomplish the transport of the troops and the remaining stores, to the post ordered to be occupied on the opposite side of this river. I have the honor to be, With much personal respect and esteem, Sir, Your very obedient, and most humble servant, (Signed) DD. ENGLAND, Col. Commandt. Brig. Gen. WILKINSON, Com- manding the troops of the United States, &c. &c.
MEADVILLE, on the Banks of French Creek, July 7. It will no doubt be agreeable to every friend of America, to mark the progress of civilization in a part of the country, where a few months since no bright ray appeared to illumine the country, but clouds of darkness and death thrown over it by savage murder and destruction. The inhabitants of this place and its vicinity convened on Monday last, the 5th inst. under an elegant bower, erected for the purpose, to celebrate the DAY—the glorious day, on which the citizens of America became a free and independent people. After partaking of an agreeable repast, the following toasts were drank, each accompanied with martial music and a discharge of the arms by Lieut. Butler's detachment. 1. The cause of Liberty throughout the world. 2. The President of the United States. 3. The memory of the heroes who fell in defence of our Liberties. 4. The Republic of France. 5. General Wayne and the western army. 6. The Marquis de la Fayette. 7. The patriots of Ireland. 8. The United States of America—May the rays of science enlighten the minds of her citizens, and the principles of friendship and unanimity, be diffused through their hearts. 9. The state of Pennsylvania. 10. The settlement and population of the country in which we now reside. 11. The treaty with Spain, whereby we obtain the free navigation of the Mississippi. 12. The treaty with Britain, whereby we obtain the western posts. 13. The Indian treaty, whereby we now sit down under our vine and fig-tree in peace and safety. 14. The American Fair. 15. The Day—Nine cheers. Thus, when almost the whole world are at war, wading through seas of blood to obtain freedom, we are rejoicing, reflecting upon our happy lot—example to obtain Independence, and forward to the natives, many of them now in our view, who, instead of the war-whoop, and battle-axe, are approaching with the benign aspect of friendship, and singing the song of peace. The celebration of the day was concluded with the utmost decorum.
ALBANY, July 22. Considerable quantities of European and Indian goods are daily sending off from and passing thro' this city for Montreal, Quebec and other places in Lower Canada. A free trade with Canada, which Mr. Jay's treaty guarantees, embraces two important objects of commercial advantage to the United States—the
receiving from us large supplies of foreign goods which have paid the accustomed duties at our ports—and giving in return specie, skins and peltries. We already begin to feel these advantages. A letter from a gentleman in New-York, by the last mail, gives us the melancholy tidings, that the yellow fever is actually making its appearance again in the city. The late refreshing rains, we hope, will nip this dreadful malady in its first onset, and arrest its progress. N. B. W. Y. O. R. K., July 26, 1796. Messrs. Blanchard and Baker, have the pleasure to inform the subscribers and other citizens of New-York, that the balloon is arrived from Bolton, and that it is at the house adjoining which the ascension will take place, that the house will be erected to suspend the balloon in with all speed, and the apparatus will also be built as soon as possible. That the tickets will be prepared and ready for delivering within a few days, and the subscribers will be waited on with their tickets, and it is hoped that no person will lose the present opportunity in purchasing a ticket to see the balloon and all the apparatus for inflating the same, as it must be expected that the present ascension will be the last in America, on account of the great expense attending this charming philosophical experiment.

Y O R K, (Penn.) July 27. BY REQUEST. Departed this life at two o'clock on the morning of Sabbath last, at the age of 27 years, Miss ANNA KENNEDY, daughter of Robert Kennedy. Of her it may be said, she was justly respected when living, and lamented now dead? We justly ascribe to her an informed mind—affable and agreeable manner—mildness of temper—modest and agreeable in conversation. A pattern of obedience to parents, useful in the station of life, allotted her. (She sometime taught a young ladies' school) All her other virtues received additional lustre, from this, she was a christian and liv'd in that faith that hath for its foundation and warrant the divine promises. This was her consolation at death—and gave her fortitude, patience and submission under her painful and lingering disease a consumption (which she laboured under for about two years.) Her sufferings were very great, and for several weeks before death, the expiring lamp of life seemed hovering (ready) yet, reluctant; to depart. We may apply to her under her affliction, the words of the poet: "The Saint sustain'd it, But the Woman Died." A very great number attended the funeral to the Presbyterian Church, where the Rev. ROBERT CATTEAT, delivered a discourse from these words: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his."
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 28. We this day give a translation of the letters which have passed between M. Barthelimi and the state of Basse—Switzerland. They are important; and nels which fill exills among that hardy and independent people. The subject of dispute, if we recollect rightly, was occasioned by a recent appearance of the Swiss Cantons to favor the passage of the Prince of Conde, with a corps of emigrants through their territory; and some delay which attended the recognition of M. Barthelimi as Minister to the Republic.
ALGERINE TREATY. By the Snow Pallas, arrived last evening from Cadiz, the TREATY ENTERED INTO WITH ALGIERS, we understand has been received. Late last evening the brig Commerce, Capt. W. Downs, arrived at this port from Gibraltar, which he left on the 23d June. Capt. D. informs, that every circumstance respecting the French victories in Italy is kept a profound secret there; that (the account via Alicante, for inserted, notwithstanding) there is still danger for the American flag up the Straights; the American months indulgence from Algiers, after the expiration of the term for the reception of the Capt, but several boats, and boarded an English vessel supposing that a Cruiser had appeared off Gibraltar, with letters to be American, but let her go on finding the mistake; the American Captains had been again
cautioned by the American Ambassador through the Consuls, not to proceed higher up. A number of Danes had been taken some time since, but peace was again procured for them (which, it is probable, the Alicante informer refers to) but no thing short of the 300,000 dollars will continue the American peace after July 7, when the three months indulgence expired. Capt. D. also informs, that admiral Man's Squadron arrived there to rest a few days before he sailed—and that admiral Richery's Squadron was still at Cadiz, one ship and one frigate short of Man's force.

FRANCE. Letter of M. Barthelimi, Ambassador of the French Republic to the Canton of Basil, 9th of May, 1796. Magnificent Lords, The orders of the executive directory of the French Republic, oblige me to recal the attention of your worthy state, to the circumstances and the motives which dictated the declaration which I was directed to present to you on their part, on the 16th of Germinal last, the answer which you gentlemen made thereto, has not answered their expectation. Charged with the defence of the territory of the republic, and with the care of its glory, it is the duty of the Executive Directory to anticipate events; it is their duty to baffle by denouncing to you the projects of the enemies of France, and of its republican constitution; it is their duty to invite you to take measures capable of securing your neutrality, and of making it respected they have asked of you what those measures were. If the terms of their declaration were severe, it was because its object was important; because the schemes and designs of our enemies already more than once concerted, gave them a right to entertain suspicions and suspicions; because a previous communication announced that they were disposed to shew them; because also at that moment it was necessary for them to be informed of the unequivocal sentiments of many of the Helvetic states, some of whom had not feared to doubt the existence of the French republic, by refusing voluntarily to pronounce upon the acceptance of the letters of credit of its ambassador, and in postponing the period of their determination by outrageous and ridiculous delays. When a government so powerful as that of the French Republic is thus slighted, when that slight arises from the machinations of guilty fugitives whose every step tends to exciting dissention in their country against which they are in a permanent conspiracy, while at the same time, they are endeavouring to draw down in their fall those states who are so blind as to be misled by them; when the Swiss Cantons, the ancient allies of France, dare to hold a conduct so reprehensible, is it so strange that the Executive Directory should for a moment arrest its good will and regard you with mistrust? There are other considerations upon which I do not think it necessary here to enlarge; they are no doubt painful and respect the security which the French Republic public with to find in the sentiments and affections of the government and people of Neutral States. Such gentlemen are the views which have animated and still continue to animate the Executive Directory, I expect from you without delay, a frank and amicable explanation which will dispel their doubts and restore to your state their sentiments of good will. They have given me their orders for my further government in case your answer does not fulfil that object. I pray God, &c.
Letter of the State of Basil, to Monsieur Barthelimi, Ambassador of the French Republic, May 11, 1796.
"We see with sincere pain from the letter of your Excellency, of the 20th Floréal, that our sentiments appear to be misunderstood, and that we are in a situation to lose the good will of the Executive Directory of the French Republic. As soon as war was declared, we promised a neutrality; from that time it hath been constantly the object of our care, of our zeal, and of our solicitude, and many are the sacrifices which it hath cost us to maintain it amidst the dangers to which at certain periods it hath been exposed. Nothing can more deeply affect us than to find the fidelity of our conduct and the purity of our intentions doubted, since both the one and the other forms the most solid basis of our honor, of our independence, and of our tranquility; we beg your Excellency, to assure the government from which you hold your powers, that we will never depart from those principles which have been transmitted to us by our predecessors, and that it is our highest ambition to commit the deposit unsullied, to those who shall succeed us; this is the first duty of our nations, and is the true means to secure to ourselves the confidence and the gratitude of our Fellow-Citizens.
It remains to add that since our letter of the 9th of April we have confined ourselves to the simple measures of maintaining our neutrality. Our uncautions on this head having been communicated to the Imperial Minister, he wrote to us by order of the Emperor, that he certainly had not the least thought of doing or suffering the Emigrants to do any thing which should affect the neutrality of our Territory. We have prepared our signals and our alarm guns, which on account of the armistice, and the winter season, were not in a state fit for service; by these means it is well known we can in a few days collect a very large force.—We are training our militia, and they are ready to march at the first signal. The contingents of the other Cantons, which are now with us, have received express orders to double their vigilance on the posts which are entrusted to them. The representatives of the Helvetic body residing with us, to take cognizance of the state of things, to act in the name of the whole confederation, and to give in our reasons to their constituents intelligence of any dangers which may threaten our countries, will let nothing pass which can secure the peace of our common country; we have our letters written to our allies reminding them of their treaties which unite us, and we have received from them

an unanimous assurance that they are all ready to fly to our assistance and to defend our frontiers. We conclude with praying your excellency to transmit these details to the Directory, and to warn them above all things, against those exaggerated relations which from an excess of zeal to serve them may be transmitted to them.
HAMBURG, 30th April.
We hear from the confederation of Podolia, that the former sword-bearer of Lithuania, Ogniski, who lately went from Paris for Constantinople, is the principal head of it, and he is already arrived there. Among the other chiefs we again discover the Polonaise Kociol, who made himself known in the last revolution. As for the rest we have as yet only received imperfect details of this confederation and of its means. But what may be regarded as certain is, that if the unfortunate Poles are continuing means to recover their liberty, Catharine on the other hand is doing all in her power to rivet their chains. She hath lately issued an order, obliging the parents of girls who have arrived at the age of ten years, to deposit their marriage portions in the Imperial Treasury. She has likewise taken upon herself to choose husbands for them. It is to be feared that the Empress hopes, by this forced deposit to restrain the Poles, who will dread a confiscation of a valuable part of their property; it is also as easy to foresee that she will choose none but Russian husbands, under the idea that children will arise from such marriages who will forget the country of their mothers, and consider themselves as belonging to that of their fathers. It must be conceived, that if that plan is put into execution, it will have the effect which the court of Russia expects, but its execution produces an extreme indignation. Never before hath any despot shown so effectually an utter contempt for the feelings of nature, and of those rights which are held sacred among the civilized nations of the world, nor have men at any time been made more bitterly to feel their slavery. If the cabinets of Europe mean to oppose the ambitious views of Russia—upon the whole they think they can make use of the Poles to work a diversion, they should profit by the indignation which this new tyranny has excited in that unhappy country. The king of Prussia is busy in raising large bodies of cavalry in his new Polish possessions. He thus recruits his army with troops reputed excellent cavalry, and takes from the country those, who having the greatest courage and ability, would be the most dangerous to his new dominions.
LYDEN, May 7.
The question whether neutral vessels may navigate the Scheldt, is not yet decided; it is still a subject of negotiation between the French and Batavian Republics. A paper published in that city observes, that Admiral Van Stabel has taken a vessel from Hamburg under his convoy, the passage of that ship could not be considered as a proof that the indefinite liberty of the Scheldt was determined.
PARIS, 5 Prairial.
The Austrian hath broken the truce, and on the 12th of this month (May 31.) hostilities will recommence. He hath dared to provoke us at the moment we were passing the Po, while we were conquering at Lodi—He was then ignorant of those triumphs, and doubted the invincible ardor of our heroes: Now convinced of his imprudence and of his misfortunes, he retires from those camps from which he had menaced us, and seeks his safety behind intrenchments, which will form but a feeble barrier against our two hundred thousand bayonets.
The Directory have addressed a Proclamation to the armies of the Sambre and Meuse, and of the Rhine—They remind them of that honorable and sacred debt which they have at this moment to pay to those who within one month have made such advances of that common tribute which all owe to their country.
The obstinacy of that ferocious enemy who in his humiliation, still dares to brave them, should rouse their courage; like the Tiger who grows around the prey which he has seized, he retains in his defeat the cruelty of his character—He is allured by blood, and is but the more furious for the strokes he receives—Despair hath tempted him to break a truce which he himself had demanded, at a time when our armies after a judicious retreat had taken an impregnable position, and which would not have been granted to him, but from the hope of Peace. The Trumpet of War hath sounded the hour of vengeance, and that Peace which he hath refused, he will soon think himself too happy, if he could obtain it.

DINANT, 19th Floréal.
The situation of our country is generally pretty much the same. The day before yesterday, they shot here two deserters from the Republican troops, who had been chiefs among the Chouans—they submitted to their fate with firmness. Some days before, several soldiers of the main army, accused of theft, rape and plunder, were condemned by the military commission, to two years imprisonment in irons.
Jamin, the son, returning to this place from Belchuel, was assassinated by the Chouans; his body was found in the highway, pierced with several wounds, by shot, and by the sabre. The exclusive patriots, of our country, under the pretext that he was a Chouan, rejoice at a misfortune which has plunged an entire family in grief. It is to be remarked, that he has always fought against the Chouans, but with those exclusive patriots, every person who does not belong to their infernal band is nominated a Chouan.
BRUSSELS, 18 Floréal (May 17.)
Gen. Jourdan, accompanied by several Field Officers and Engineers, visited the new positions of his army on the Upper Rhine, in the environs of Bingen, Bacharach, and Biezenfeld. He left in several places Engineers who are directed to construct new fortifications, and repair the old ones. After this inspection of his army, Jourdan returned to Coblenz, where he daily holds councils of war. As to the rest there is not yet any appearance that the truce will be soon broken. The French
Austrian, and Saxon officers, daily give entertainments to each other, but together, and in fine are on the very best terms with each other—the enemy's Generals show on all occasions, their esteem for the bravery of the French.
Letters which are received from the environs of Coblenz, Treves, and Hunsbruck, give a frightful picture of the dreadful misery which reigns in those unhappy countries—the inhabitants of the country are there reduced to the most cruel distress, their property is taken from them by way of requisition, they have neither provision nor cattle, in fine nothing to offer their horrible condition. Notwithstanding the severe methods which are used to supply the wants of the army, it is not uncommon for them to want meat for 3 days. The forced loan has completed the ruinous state of this part of Germany; facing the impossibility of writing the sums demanded, they have deferred the first taxes.—Peace is the only remedy for their evils.
Philadelphia, July 30.
From a Correspondent.
Americans, learn to be wise by others harms, and you shall do well.
THE weak powers engaged in the war have a terrible time of it. Spain was overmatched by France, and got out of the scrape by yielding up to her the half of Hispaniola—which, in the hands of an industrious people, would be worth, either for revenue or rich productions, as much as a third rate European kingdom.
Holland got out of the war against France by losing her independence as a nation, her forts and towns were taken. Her vast magazines of military stores, her ships and naval arsenals, which the wealth and industry of two ages had collected, were seized by the conqueror. The very pictures from her town halls, the master pieces of the immortal Dutch painters, are carried away to France. There they are exhibited as trophies of the weakness and degradation of that once unconquerable people. A state of conquest is bad enough, altho' it may be concealed under the name of regeneration and fraternity. To pay tribute to the conqueror, to receive his troops and pay them for holding the state in subjection! behold, Americans, what follows the loss of independence, and resolve while you behold it, to do and suffer infinitely more than the Dutch did before you surrendered it.
The Dutch got out of the war against France, and into a war with England, by which (strange as it may seem after their other losses) they are liable to lose more. The Cape of Good Hope, their West India and East India possessions are too rich to be spared, and too weak to be defended.
Sardinia sinks likewise under the conqueror, and what has he saved? his realm, his future security or his honor! Read the Treaty and judge for yourselves whether he could have lost more.
The Duke of Parma, in the like manner, surrenders at discretion, pays money and puts the foot of a master on his own neck.
The German Princes whose territories have been conquered are not so badly off; as the Empire and the Austrian monarchy are still in force and struggling to wind up the war in a manner that will procure the restitution of their dominions.
The powerful king of Prussia gained money by the loan of his assistance, and is watching his opportunity to profit further by the contest.
The Emperor is little exposed to further loss in his hereditary dominions, and still contends to recover Brabant and Lombardy.
G. Britain being superior at sea, goes on adding to her already too extensive colonial possessions.
Thus we see how very unequally the lot of war falls upon the weak and the strong.
America, compared with France or England, is weak in war. She is illly situated and worse prepared to make or keep conquests.
Let her sons then cast a reflecting eye over the disastrous fate of the nations whose military force greatly exceeded hers, and who nevertheless have lost (as we have seen) their territory, their honor, their wealth and their independence. Had America joined in the war, she would have gained nothing—and when losses were to be repaired or sacrifices made, she, as the weaker, would have been left, and perhaps called upon, by her ally to make them. To save or to recover her colonies, anally (for ever allies love themselves best) would suffer America to be dispossessed of the right to the whale and Newfoundland fisheries, or of the Western territory, or the right to the navigation of the Mississippi—perhaps if the war proved unsuccessful, to cede a Southern state or two.
Americans think of your happy lot and be wise to discern the things that belong to your
PEACE.
Citizen Bache is in a very great hurry to have capt. Pigot banged because Greenleaf has told us a story of his whipping an American captain. This is exactly in the style of Revolutionary justice. The profound citizen forgot that the other side of the question had not been heard.—"O wife young Judge!"
A Boston ship (name unknown) arrived at Hamburg from Bengal, a few days previous to the sailing of the Harmony.
Lately died at sea, Capt. Hugh A. Mackie, of the ship Canton, of this port. The Canton being damaged by a storm on her voyage from Madras to China, bore away for Manila, where she was condemned as unfit for service. Unhappily Capt. Mackie died three days before the ship arrived at that place. All who knew the Captain will readily acknowledge that the United States have lost in him a most able seaman, as well as a man of the most amiable disposition and manners.
We learn by Capt. Strong, in eight days from Charleston, that 20,000 dollars had been collected for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers by the late calamitous fire.

PARIS, May 8.
Council of Five Hundred.
Sitting of the 7th. Chenier reports on the proposition for depositing of the ashes of Descartes in the Pantheon. After a lively panegyric on that philosopher, he proposes to transport on May 20th the ashes of Descartes to the Pantheon. The Directory, the National Institution and the Foreign Ministers were to attend that ceremony. But what was the surprise of Chenier, when Mercier rose and shewed, how little Descartes deserved the character of a great man by his romantic system, and that he, instead of advancing the sciences, had obstructed their progress for a whole century. On this occasion Mercier inveighed against modern philosophy, with which all is calculation, that suffocates sentiment; Voltaire was rather roughly handled by the way. "Did not they," says Mercier, "open the gates of the Pantheon to that famous enemy of morals and manners, to that miserable sycophant, who offered up incense to kings, and even could not conceal his servile principles in his tragedy Brutus. Voltaire in his numerous writings never paid any respect to what is good, just, honest or holy." Mercier gave it as his opinion, that the council is no academy, and can decree the honor of the Pantheon only to legislators and heroes.
By an order of the Directory, the execution of which is enjoined to the Central Bureau of Police, Vadier, Amar, Voulland, Payan, Choudier, Chales and Huguet, late members of the Convention, who formerly constituted the Revolutionary Tribunal at Nantz and caused the father of General Moreau to be executed on the very day when the news of the victory gained by his son arrived, are ordered to quit Paris without delay, where they were always busy, to harangue the groupes, and to repulse to their respective departments.
The introduction of the mandates causes many commotions. The soldiers, who are paid by that currency, go into shops, choose goods, as they please, enquire the price, offer mandates, and then take the goods away by violence. The merchants injured thereby in their property, now refuse to sell. This creates want, that makes the people angry. The deputies receive 2500 livres in mandates per month.
Yesterday the groupes assembled more numerous and the motions made in them, were more violent, than ever.
Since the 6th of May nobody will accept the assignats of 10,000, 2000 and 1000 livres. The louis d'or a few days ago was 7400 livres, and it keeps still at 6,800 to 7000 livres.
THORN (West-Prussia) May 2.
We learn from Moscow, that the Russian General Valerien Suboff, has taken the command against the Persians, and the unruly people on Mount Caucasus, by putting himself at the head of 24,000 troops. The Persians are divided into two parties, one of which joined the Russians, from amongst the latter a prince has been at Petersburg two months, in order to obtain favours.
SAVANNAH, July 12.
The Federal and State Commissioners, appointed to hold a treaty with the Creek Indians, are returned to this place; the object of the State of Georgia, the procuring the lands between the Oconee, Ocmulgee and Tenassee Country has unfortunately failed: the consequences are to be dreaded. We hope to be able to give our readers some information on this subject in our next.
AUGUSTA, July 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Colerain, to his friend in this place, dated June 27, 1796.
"I wrote to you by the last post giving some account of the politics of this place. Having been here almost ever since I will endeavor to give some further account.
"It is my opinion that Jackson and Simms have damned the treaty—it seems to me the former is deranged, his arrogance overleaps any thing I have ever seen. From his want of temper he disgusted the Indians as well as the Federal Commissioners. Declaratory invec-tive made up all his oratory, and pervaded his whole deportment upon this important mission. Col. Hendricks's conduct is much approved; and had his measures been pursued the lands might have been obtained. He associated with all the gentlemen engaged in the negotiation, and gained their esteem. I think he ought to protect against the proceedings of his colleagues, but I am afraid he will not. Jackson's mean endeavors to shift the blame off his own shoulders, will, I fear be too successful with the misguided people; but, be assured that the Federal Commissioners and Mr. Seagrove continued to do every thing in their power as long as Jackson kept within tolerable bounds. You may rely on this account of affairs, although I can not at present descend to particulars. Some little matters have turned up here which may probably stop his career in a short time.

The Editor of the Amora has much to say about set off —it is difficult to see how the idea can be applied to any observations inserted in this Gazette, relative to instances of magnanimity and generosity on the one hand, or of injustice and cruelty on the other. The Editor of this Gazette never suppo-
sed that the villainous conduct of one nation, or the individuals thereof, could be cited in justification of the villainous conduct of another—not the enemies of the peace of this country. The Jacobinical faction of the United States, have imitated every transaction of those "exclusive Patriots" and "blood drinkers" of France, by a set of villainous transactions of the English in the East Indies. The cool deliberate murders of men, by Frenchmen in France, have been imitated by, the murders pillage and devastation of the Indians, by the British in Bengal!
The faction have long been considered as a body of credulity in Jacobin infallibility, but it was expected that they would explicitly avow their credulity by openly asserting, that two black beans make a white one.

Thursday last arrived the sloop Independence, Capt. Graves, in 24 days from Port-au-Prince. Left there ship Betsey, Hart, of Portland, bound for Turks Island, when he could procure hands, having had four men impressed, and the remaining three died soon after. Capt. Graves failed in company with five Americans; one was the Schooner Liberty, of Boston, which had lost her captain and mate; another the Schooner Hannah, of Barnstable, bound to Charleston, which had been robbed by the brigands of 2100 dollars, and sundry other articles.

Extract of a letter from the island of Cayenne, to a French gentleman of character in this town, dated June 2.
"The English have taken another method to procure money; they have fabricated five millions sterling in dollars, the value of each not exceeding two shillings sterling. A ship from London, belonging to Philadelphia, has been at this place; she was in ballast, but had on board 40,000 of these dollars, which the captain wanted to exchange for coffee, cotton, &c. Not succeeding in this Colony, she went down to Surinam, where also she could not purchase produce, as the people there had been informed of the intended fraud.
"The government of Surinam has been so kind as to inform us of this transaction. We do not know where the Philadelphia vessel next went to."

Principal of Marischal College, Aberdeen. * * The character of the Author for acuteness and erudition has been established by his essay on miracles in answer to David Hume," the greatest masterpiece of the kind ever published, and by his "Philosophy of Rhetoric," and to the merit of the present work, the result of nearly forty years study and application, and the substance of his course of lectures in his official capacity, the reviewers have given ample testimony, but their ac- count, however honorable to the work, is too long for a place in this advertisement, the work howev- er is now presented in an American edition at not more than half the price of the London copy.

A very Valuable Estate, CALLED TWITTENHAM, Situate in the township of Upper Derby, and county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road; containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime wood- land, and the rest arable of the best quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peaches. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly con- venient for grazing.
The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat.
The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Harman, deceased, and offered for sale by

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE: And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri- vate buildings to be erected in the City of Washington— Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortune- numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the draw- ing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real security as given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution so necessarily to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the floor inspection indispensable.
