ARMY OF THE RHINE.
Extract of a letter from the General in Chief to the Minister of War.
H Q at Manheim, 26th Brumaire, November 17.
Yesterday, the 25th, I attacked the enemy's whole line, between Philipsburg and the Neckar. The first division, commanded by gen. Delabarde, marched to the bridge on the right at Neulheim, where it had attacked the enemy with the greatest intrepidity, and beaten him back to Vaughaufel, after having taken 1000 prisoners, who were a part of the garrison of Philipsburg, and five pieces of cannon. The 16th demi brigade of infantry of the line, the hussars of the 2d regiment, and the 12th and 23d regiments of cavalry, have particularly distinguished themselves as the Cuirassiers commanded by gen. Despaigne, and the light artillery under the orders of the chief of squadron Legras. The left Brigade of the same Division moved by Klipstock towards the Veissenthal, driving every where the enemy before it to Graben. The result of this movement was, that Philipsburg is blockaded again. The second division, commanded by gen. Decaen, has made an attack upon Roth with equal success. He marched his brigade, the right with rapidity by Mingelheim to Obelt. Foreseeing the difficulties that this column would have to overcome, in order to carry the strong positions which the enemy occupied upon the heights before the village, I moved with two regiments of cavalry, and one company of light artillery, at first to Vaughaufel by Veissenthal and Hombuch, and afterwards to Forz and Bruchsal, from whence the enemy was driven and pursued as far as Bretten. The left brigade was advancing at the same time upon Goteheim. The reserve of cavalry, under the orders of gen. Haupelt, perfectly seconded his operations, particularly the carabineers. The third division, commanded by general Ney, which was to have advanced against Elz, notwithstanding the great force opposed to it, has no less succeeded; after an obstinate combat, it obtained possession of Valsbach, Enns and Sintzheim. The fourth division, under the orders of gen. Buray d'HiLLers, was charged with clearing the right bank of the Neckar, and advancing against Dilsberg and Langenheide. This division perfectly executed its orders. The three divisions made about 200 prisoners. On a list on this day was very considerable, that of the enemy on the contrary, was considerable. We have taken besides 1200 prisoners, five pieces of cannon, many caissons and the baggage wagons. All the troops have displayed the greatest courage; officers and soldiers all deserve the highest praise.
TURIN, November 12.
The whole loss of the French army under gen. Championet, on the 4th and 5th to the 8th inst. in the engagements with gen. Meias and Kray, is stated at 13,000 men in killed and wounded, drowned and taken prisoners; the number of the latter increased every day to the 8th inst. In an engagement which happened on the 24th of October, near the river Bombia, the brave gen. Karaiczay was in the greatest danger. A bullet penetrated his coat pocket, and would have entered his left thigh had it not been stopped by a roll of maps. In the different actions from the 24th of October to the 18th November, great numbers of the new conscripts were put to the sword by the Austrian cavalry, who thought them to be Genoese peasants, as they wore no regimentals.
MANHEIM, November 15.
This day gen. Lecourbe returned to the army at Bruchsal, which it is expected will make a general attack. The guides, with four pieces of horse artillery, has set off before him.
Skirmishes have taken place with the armed peasants near Weinheim.
Yesterday evening the guides of the army of the Rhine set out from Bruchsal, with four pieces of horse artillery. The Gen. in chief, Lecourbe, it is said, will set out to-night for the army. It is presumed, that this day or to-morrow there will be a general attack.
The garrison of Manheim yesterday took the oath decreed by the legislative commissions.
ITALY, November 18.
Previous to the surrender of Ancona on the 11th inst. the garrison had made a desperate sally on the 2d, to drive the allies again from the heights on which the besieged had their hospital, and from whence the fortresses could be bombarded. After an obstinate engagement the French were obliged to retreat into the city with a loss of thirty five thousand men. General Mounier and another general who commanded in the fort of the Capuchins were wounded on this occasion. On account of the stormy weather the Russian and Turkish frigates had been obliged to raise the blockade; but the Imperial gun-boats which had been constructed at Venice, had come to anchor in the roads of Ancona, and blockaded the harbour. The latter took several French ships laden with provisions, which had attempted to enter the harbour.
The corps of generals Haddick, Karaiczay and Rohan have joined gen. Kray, who is marching against Gavi on the road to Genoa.
STUTGARD, November 22.
The position of the armies, between the Neckar and the Rhine, is still nearly the same. The French are entrenched at Heidenheim, and their patrols extend to Bretten.
RATISBON, November 24.
Since yesterday it is reported that a courier has arrived with dispatches for Prince Suwarrows, revoking the orders for the Russian army to return home, and that it is to march to the Rhine.
HAMBURGH, December 1.
The king of Prussia is flattered by the attention of Buonaparte and Sieyes, and the will of citizen Durand, sent aid-de-camp to Buonaparte, will, at least, tend to confirm the connection subsisting between France and Prussia, as far as that measure can be conscientiously adopted.
December 2.
The misunderstanding which exists between the Russians and Austrians is now confirmed by the Petersburg and Court Gazette. General Suwarrows states in his official report, that Baron Thugut, in promising the British minister at Vienna that the Archduke Charles would continue in Switzerland, had deceived him by such an assurance. In his dispatch from Taverna, he made use of the following language:— "The Austrian General Teller and his commissaries deceive us by their equivocal promises. This is the fifth day we have lost at Taverna."
Under such circumstances it is not to be expected that the order which Suwarrows has received to return to Russia will be countermanded; and it is probable that the French will take advantage of those divisions, to conclude a separate peace with Austria.
CAUTION.
THE Public is cautioned against receiving the Subscribers Note in favor of, and endorsed by Thomas W. Francis, dated yesterday, at 6 days after date for eight hundred dollars. The note is in the hand writing of the Subscriber, and at the bottom a memorandum by the inforger, to the credit of the drawer, Thomas W. Francis. This note together with a contract between Charles Williamson, and Charles Hale for lands in township No. 4, in the 5th range of Strubel county, State of New Jersey, and sundry other papers contained in a Packet Book, were taken from the Subscribers desk last evening. As the above can be of no use to the person who has carried them off, should they be returned, no questions shall be asked.

To William Wills & John Armstrong.
GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE seen your advertisement "To the Public" whereby you offer your services to locate United States Military Land Warrants, and in which you affect that you "possess superior information to any others" and that you can locate warrants "the most advantageously." As I believe you have not explored more of the Military District than some other persons who also offer their services to locate warrants—permit me to suggest the propriety of altering your advertisement, so as to do justice to those whose knowledge of the Military Land, is, at least equal to that which you possess. I do not mean that all who advertise as locators are superior, or even equal to you, in the knowledge of it. I see advertisements by persons who have never explored a single range, and by others who have been over but a small part of the Military Land—but to these your advertisement would apply; as to those all other locators are inferior to yourselves. I have taken the liberty of giving you the above advice, which if attended to with candour will, for the present satisfy.

A valuable Estate for sale,
IN VIRGINIA.
THE NORWICH LANDS, MILLS, AND APPENDAGES.
THIS ESTATE
IS situated in the county of Henrico, on Four Mile Creek, near its junction with James River, about 12 miles from the city of Richmond, and nearly the same distance from Petersburg.
There is about 150 acres of land, and the whole of it good soil for agriculture, and a full proportion of it very suitable for grass; about one half of it is cleared and in a state fit for immediate cultivation; the rest is in woods and well covered with useful timber of different kinds. As to the improvements on the farm, there is a decent dwelling house with the usual out houses, a good brick spring house, and a large new excellent barn, one story of brick, and the other framed work, two orchards of apples and of peaches, in full perfection and good fruit.
The mills consist of three pair of bur stones for the grinding of wheat, and one pair of stones for grinding of corn, all of proved good quality, worked by superior water wheels and double gears, with all the late improvements for dressing, cleaning, bolting and elevating the wheat and flour, all executed in the best manner and of the best materials and quite new. The mill house is large and convenient, being 46 feet by 72 feet with five floors, the two lower floors are brick, the rest framed work executed in the most substantial manner; the house and machinery of the mills will be found unexceptionable, and they are so situated as to be free from all risk from the fires or inundation of the water courses. There is a very convenient brick bake house two stories high, with two large ovens; a very good house for the proprietor or manager, a floor room, counting room, kitchen, &c. also suitable houses for millers, coopers, and bakers. The tide water from James River flows to the wall of the mill, where boats of three to four hundred bushels burthen can receive their loads out of the mill, and in one mile's distance, ships of any size that navigate James River, can load in great safety.
The neighborhood is healthy—very respectable as to inhabitants, being mostly independent farmers, and the soil is in general very justly esteemed equal to any on James River, for the growing of wheat; upon a moderate calculation, the average annual crops of the neighborhood equally convenient if not more so, to the Norwich Mills, than to any other market, amount to between thirty and forty thousand bushels of wheat. Mr. John P. Gordon who lives on the premises at present, will show the whole to those who may incline to view it.
I would prefer a purchaser who could pay down the principal part of the purchase money, and would give a very advantageous bargain—or I will sell on a credit convenient to the purchaser, the interest being paid annually. I will wait for a purchaser till the 15th day of March next, and if not then sold, I will be glad to treat with a tenant for a lease, on terms which may be mutually agreeable. I have offered the whole of this estate for sale, on a presumption that the purchaser of the mills would incline to have the land also, for a supply of building timber, oven wood and hoop poles; but if it be more agreeable to him to take the mills and a few acres of land, he shall be accommodated accordingly.

COMMUNICATION.
The Legislative Body of Pennsylvania have passed a resolve to prepare a portrait or portraits of the late General Washington, to grace the apartments of state. Massachusetts have done the same, but with this difference: Pennsylvania, like her democratic politics, has offered nothing more than shadow to support his glorious memory; whilst Massachusetts has offered substance, even a statue of marble, like their Federal Characters, permanent to the end of time.
These are to certify that Mr. Gabriel Christie, of Harford county, in the State of Maryland, made use of the following expressions, at the house of Mrs. Bicker, Philadelphia, early in July last, in the presence of Messrs. Dent, Sprig, and Smith, members of Congress, and Adam Gordon and myself, lodgers in said house. That he, Gabriel Christie, wished that "The President of the United States was poisoned," or "That some person would poison him;" and after some further remarks by said Christie, he observed that he wished "The President a birth in Heaven, and that if God would not receive him, he wished him to the Devil, but he was fearful that neither would receive him, and that we should be troubled with him longer." The above observations were made by Mr. Christie without any from the company, to draw them from him, nor was any kind of reply made thereto.
WILLIAM DAWSON, 3d.
Elkton, 13th August, 1798.
[The above certificate has been transmitted to us for publication. No reason is assigned why it has not made its appearance before, although it must strike every person as a circumstance which ought to have been exposed. We abstain from comment, in order to give room for any defence which may be set up, if defence there can be, of language so indecent and outrageous.]
The Hon. THEODORE SEDGWICK, Esq., is elected by the Legislature of Massachusetts, Major General of the 9th Division of Militia of that State.
A writer in a late New York paper while speaking of the Philosophy of Diseases , says, that he foretold the fever of last year; when the fact is, that he publicly told us that we were not then to expect the malady. He, with the same kind of wisdom, tells us of an agreement between snow, hail and the yellow fever, and vaunts that he has noted in history the death of Oysters .
I have noticed (says he) in MY history the death of Oysters; but whether in a dirge, monody, or in elegiac stanzas, we are still in the dark.
The unlawful issue of revolutions in Government, as evinced in the case of the French Republic, may possibly have the effect to cool the hot and lusty zeal of our patriotic citizens in that behalf. It may now be apparent to certain wise ones, that the abolition of the present Confederate Government, the public execution of the Federates, and the founding of a Republic one and indivisible, though it might afford scope for Dantons, Talleyrands, Marats, Egalités and Robespierres, might also, produce a Cromwell, a Monk or a Buonaparte.
Tom Paine, awake only at every new revolution, lately sent in a bundle of Constitutions to Buonaparte, and received in return thereof a case of excellent Nanta Brandy . Thus we see this great man knows in what kind of coin to pay every one who has claims upon him.
Since the French Republic is overthrown, we shall not probably hear so many alarms founded respecting the danger of Republican Liberty from despotic conspiracies. It is often the case in such instances, that the more real danger there exists, the less noise we hear about it.
After denying during many days, the authenticity of the late news, the Aurora people at length believed it, because Mr. Jefferson believed it. Why this is as it should be. The nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri, of Horace, is here wittily rejected for the advice of Pope—and they consult this master-Quiz of an oracle, upon a point of politics, just as an old Lazar would the Physician on whom he had been accustomed to rely.
"I'll do what Mead and Cheselden advise To keep my limbs and to preserve my eyes."
The Paris papers advertise for sale, a Comedy called L'Inconnu , or Milanthropie et Repentir . It is a translation into French verse, of a Comedy, which has been also translated into English, and called The Stranger , from the pen of a dreary old Dutchman, who takes this method of infusing the madness of illumination into the minds of the lower orders of people.
In the same paper is advertised another work with this title, couched in the highest style of revolutionary fanaticism: Analytical treatise on man, with the code of his duties, and his social code conforming to the object of his terrestrial creation ; by the citizen Gabriel-Victor Benjamin Mariette.
MR. PENNO,
On what sure grounds can we hope that the tender sprouts of American genius will ever become twigs, if every ill natured critic is permitted to grub and prune at random.
Such was the remark of a patriotic friend, on reading certain envious notes on a sublime Elegiac compliment to the memory of Washington. This snarler carps at the couplet wherein our hero is represented as being
dangerous in defeat and dreadful in retreat.
Surely none but a dence or driveller in the Bathos could find fault with such exalted sublimity. For my part I only lament that the too diffident author gave the check to Pegasus before he had perfected his climax. For an hero
dangerous in defeat and dreadful in retreat
might without any additional licence, be made to
conquer all when beat.
An enemy to snarling critics.
In the French Senate, just before the last Bouleversement , it was decreed, that the order of expulsion from the country, should not apply to those emigrants shipwrecked at Calais, who, besides the crime of emigration, were culpable in other respects meriting capital punishment.
Bouretteville-Dumetz, Kaymer, and Bergerac, combatted these opinions: they observed that the individuals in question could be considered only as shipwrecked unfortunates; that their return to France was not an effect of their will and that it would be barbarous to put them to death after their having been saved from the fury of the waves.
Guyonard and Letourneux contended that they ought to be judged in the fullest rigour of the laws against cheats, swindlers for the enemy, and those armed against their own country.
The reader while he peruses with repulsive horror, a decree which dooms to death 600 unhappy gentlemen, cast by ill fortune on a barbarous and inclement shore, will call to mind, that ancient trait in the character of the Spaniard, which has been so often and so finely enlarged on by didactic writers. He will also note that, thus, the monstrous authors of this enormity persisted in the perpetration of outrages upon humanity and all the charities of life, to the very last point of the duration of their dynasty.
Although our walks seldom tend towards the tabernacles of Democracy, and although we are consequently often in the dark with respect to the arcana of that infernal sect, we ventured a few days since to assert an opinion, that the disruption of the French Republic and the assumption of arbitrary power by Buonaparte, the Italian, would have the suffrages of the American Democrats. It is so; and it is so, for the most natural of reasons. They have sworn fealty to leaders who have for years been aiming, or rather driving at the same issue. It is by a very simple operation of thought, therefore, that they approve and applaud the victory of Buonaparte, even though it be over their lovely, darling Republicanism.
It is impossible to calculate, from the late events which have taken place in France, what form of government, or order of things that nation will finally rest upon. The late Mr. Burke, who surveyed the French revolution with a prophetic eye, observed, in his celebrated reflections on that event, that "the republic could hardly remain in its present form; but before its final settlement it might be obliged to pass through great varieties of noticed being;" and in all its transmigrations to be purified by fire and blood." This has been the case. The first principle of the revolution was that of a reformed monarchy. This was defended by their greatest men—Sieyes, Mirabeau, &c. It was when the reign of terror had bound down and enslaved the minds of the people, that this principle was abandoned, and the monarchy overthrown; but they have ever since, in all their changes preserved at least the semblance of a representative government. Of this they are now deprived, and the whole power is concentrated in the hands of a triumvirate. Whether, after all her transmigrations and purifications, France shall revert back to her first principle, or whatever may be the form of government which shall finally restore her to tranquillity, a long course of time will be necessary to heal the wounds made by the revolution, and her example will be a caution to other nations, how they destroy, instead of reforming their institutions.

To the honorable Thomas Jefferson, Esq. Vice President of the United States of America.
When I concluded my last address to you, I then, Sir, communicated to you my intention to grant you a temporary respite, but at the same time gave you reason to expect, that, having convicted you of the most unfounded calumny, I should at some future day, proceed to pass sentence upon you.
The performance of a task so unpleasant has been rendered unnecessary by an enlightened public, who, anticipating me, have already pronounced their fiat against you—and you are, and for a considerable time past have been, suffering the punishment due to your crime. Hence, Sir, it is probable that you would have remained longer unnoticed by me, had it not been for your publication in the Richmond Examiner, which some time past was sent me by a correspondent, and which I find your friends, the Democratic Printers, have, with their zeal usual on such occasions, extensively circulated.
Your extreme modesty will, I doubt not, prevent you from claiming the merit of the publication to which I allude, may, possibly, may cause you to deny it; but as I am convinced in my own mind that you did write it; and as I am also convinced that there is not one of your friends or partisans, so lost to every sense of decency and propriety as to have written it for you. I am determined to prevent your reputation from suffering by that your extreme modesty; and shall therefore most certainly consider you as its author in the remarks which I shall address to you, upon it.
From my above declaration you may perhaps be led to conjecture that the sentiments which I entertain for you are not the most favorable; however, I have but a little patience, and I flatter myself that I shall in the sequel be able to satisfy even you yourself, Sir, that I am not to you guilty of injustice, and every person will allow that to your friends and partisans I have shewn a charity as bountiful as they could decently with.
And now, Sir, to oblige you, as I doubt not you will read your own production with more pleasure than any thing from my pen, and to place before the public, for whom as well as for you I write, the subject of my future animadversions, I shall here give you the before mentioned publication:—It is as far as it respects me, as follows, to wit:
“With regard to Mr. Jefferson, much invective has been discharged against him on the subject of Logan, the Indian Chief, whose talk to Lord Dunmore has been published in the Notes on Virginia. The attack was made by Luther Martin, of Baltimore, and the medium selected for the publication of this attack was equally worthy of the author, and of his production.—Martin uttered his remarks into the world by the channel of the British Gazette printed at Philadelphia, under the eye and upon the risk of the British ambassador. This Gazette is perhaps the most felonious publication that ever disgraced the Art of Printing. In answer to Martin, we shall here quote some detached passages from a letter written by the vice president. This letter bears date December 31st, 1797, and was addressed to John Henry, one of the British treaty majority of Senators in Congress, and who has since been governor of Maryland.”
“Had Mr. Martin thought proper,” says the Vice President, “to suggest, to me, that doubts might be entertained of the transaction respecting Logan, as stated in the Notes on Virginia, and to enquire on what ground that statement was founded, I should have felt myself, obliged by the enquiry; have informed him candidly of the grounds; and candidly have co-operated in every means of investigating the fact, and correcting whatsoever in it should be found to be erroneous. But he chose to step at once into the newspapers, and in his publications there, and the letters he wrote to me, adopted a style, which forbade the respect of an answer.—The story of Logan is only related in the Notes on Virginia, precisely as it had been current for more than a dozen years before they were published.—I learned it at Lord Dunmore’s, and I find, in my pocket-book of that year, (1774) an entry of the narrative as taken from the mouth of some person, whose name, however, is not noted, nor recollected, precisely in the words stated in the Notes on Virginia.—I remembered that general Gibson was still living, and knew that he had been the translator of the speech. I wrote to him immediately. He, in answer, declared to me, that he was the very person lent by Lord Dunmore, to the Indian town; that after he had delivered his message there Logan took him out to a neighbouring wood; sat down with him, and rehearsing, with tears, the catastrophe of his family, gave him that speech for Lord Dunmore; that he carried it to Lord Dunmore; translated it for him; has turned to it in the Encyclopedia, as taken from the Notes on Virginia, and finds that it was his translation I had used, with only two or three verbal variations of no importance.”
These, I suppose, had arisen in the course of successive copies. It establishes unquestionably, that the speech of Logan is genuine and that being established, it is Logan himself who is author of all the important facts. General Gibson indeed says that the title was mistaken; that Cressap was a captain and not a colonel. This was Logan’s mistake. He also observes, that it was on some other water of the Ohio, and not on the Kanawha, the family was killed.—If it shall appear on enquiry, that Logan has been wrong in charging Cressap with the murder of his family, I will do justice to the memory of Cressap. If, on the other hand, I find that Logan was right in his charge, I will vindicate, as far as my suffrage may go, the truth of a chief, whose talents and misfortunes have attached to him the respect and commiseration of the
world. I feel extraordinary gratification, indeed, in addressing this letter to you, with whom shades of difference in political sentiments have not prevented the interchange of good opinion, nor cut off the friendly offices of society, and good correspondence. This political tolerance is the more valued by me, who consider social harmony as the first of human felicities, and the happiest moments those which are given to the effusions of the heart.
I am, dear Sir, Yours, &c. (Signed) THOS. JEFFERSON.
The extracts above quoted comprehend about one third part of the original letter, and seem sufficient for the vindication of the vice president. If the charge that Logan made against Cressap was unfounded, the blame of his mistake does not rest with the author of the Notes on Virginia. He only related what thousands, and tens of thousands had related before him. In a passage of this letter which has not been here quoted, Mr. Jefferson says, that long before the story had appeared in his volume, the talk of the Mingo chief had excited such universal attention as to be inserted in the lessons of school-books. The blame, if blame there is, cannot therefore be imputed to Mr. Jefferson. In as far as the weight of personal testimony goes, no man will think of balancing either Gen. Gibson, or the vice-president, or indeed the attestation of any other gentlemen against the brutal ferocity of Luther Martin. This Baltimore attorney addresses Mr. Jefferson in the style of an overbearing, who is just going to flog some unfortunate African runaway.
Again, that the family of Logan was murdered, there can be no doubt, and almost as little that Cressap was the criminal. The Mingo chief could have no temptation to wilful falsehood. We can neither doubt the solicitude of his enquiries, nor the correctness of his memory, unless we are, at the same time, prepared to say that Charles Fox and Patrick Henry are destitute of eloquence, for the natural faculties of this Indian were probably not much inferior to those of either of these uncommon men.
In his letter to Mr. John Henry, the vice-president expresses the greatest anxiety that it may be kept from the press. The writer of this article was, in the course of last year, entrusted with a copy of it, under a similar injunction. But having since heard frequent and reproachful allusions to the uncontradicted libels of Luther Martin, he has ventured, although with reluctance, upon this partial transcription against the wish of the gentleman from which he got the copy of the letter, which was corrected and interlined in Mr. Jefferson’s own hand writing. If any of the republican news printers shall think fit to copy these extracts from the Examiner, they are further desired to mention that the publication was made without the privacy, and contrary to the desire of the Vice-President.
The article has extended to an inconvenient length; and yet we cannot close it without some additional remarks. Of the letter above quoted we presume, that every intelligent reader will, on the first view, admit the authenticity, because the citations display all that sweetness of style and sincerity of temper, which so pleasingly distinguish the literary compositions, and the personal manners, of Thomas Jefferson. It is to be desired that he would write and publish more frequently than he hitherto has done. We should then have a better opportunity for comparing, or rather for collating, his principles, his talents, and his feelings, with those of that statesman, who has threatened the commonwealth of Virginia with the fate of Jerusalem. We seem to intimate, where we dare not explain. This allusion points to the immortal DUST and ASHES answer which Mr. Adams delivered last summer, to some of the militia of BATH COUNTY!
He reads your publication, as taken from the Richmond Examiner;—And here I end my present address to you, still remaining with all due respect to you. LUTHER MARTIN. Jan. 7th, 1800.
CURIOUS PAPER!
From the Independent Chronicle.
MR. RHODES,
THE last change of the constitution of the French Republic, is another of those very astonishing events which has naturally sprung from the late revolution. It is simply a new modification of the power in exercise, to preserve the great and essential principles on which alone a free government can be established.
The world has not yet sufficient expedience to determine with mathematical precision, the best possible form of the social compact, to continue those principles in their utmost purity; and even to perpetuate their existence. To call this new modification of its governmental arrangements, a revolution, is just as absurd as to conform the various modes of faith, which have resulted from the protestant reformation, with the reformation itself. The monarchical government of France supported by the roman catholic religion, and the claims of the feudal orders and their aristocratic and hereditary pretensions, are probably abolished forever—never, never to rise again, in that illustrious commonwealth, more than in our own. Their credit is impaired also in every other part of Europe—and on these subjects no man of sense or information, thinks or acts as he used to think or act, either there or here. Nothing but that blind presumption, the offspring of the most contemptible ignorance, will suffer an absolute judgment to be formed of the secret causes which have led to this last maneuver, or the effects which will probably follow it: for it results merely from different views of different sets of republicans, as to the quantity of power to
be delegated; and the number and nature of the checks necessary to prevent its being abused or perverted to the private or national injury of the French citizens. On these points there will be certain shades of opinion, for a long period to come as well as at present, in the enlightened portion of the world. The Americans had certain forms of government to which they were attached, and a great and powerful ally to assist them with his troops, councils, and money, in the most critical moment of their contest with the British government.—The French are a solitary example of a great nation, attempting to renovate their political system on just principles, in opposition to the interests and the prejudices of all other governments, without a single friend to advise or assist them; their expedients must therefore arise from the existing state of things, according to their best judgment upon them regulated alone by their own feelings and experience, and embarrassed by every possible obstacle thrown in their way by the force of their enemies without and the intrigues of their factions within. Time alone can develop the various projects on hand, and the results to be expected.
The real republicans, who have the greatest reason to be satisfied on the whole, in the progress of these principles, must expect new scenes, and will not venture a final decision till the last act of the grand revolutionary drama is closed—and there is but little reason to fear but it will ensure their loudest plaudits.
A REPUBLICAN.
BOSTON, January 30.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability in Philadelphia, dated Jan. 20.
“DEAR SIR,
“I have lately returned from Mount Vernon, and having had great opportunities of hearing true accounts of General Washington, I shall devote much of my paper to this great character.
“The General, a little time before his death, had begun several improvements on his farm. Attending to some of these, he probably caught his death. He had in contemplation a gravel walk on the banks of the Potomac; between the walk and the river there was to be a fish-pond. Some trees were to be cut down, and others preserved. On Friday, the day before he died, he spent some time by the side of the river, marking the former. There came a fall of snow, which did not deter him from his pursuit, but he continued till his neck and hair were quite covered with snow. He spent the evening with Mrs. Washington, reading the newspapers, which came by the mail of that evening; went to bed as usual about nine o’clock, waked up in the night, found himself extremely unwell, but would not allow Mrs. W. to get up, or the servants to be waked. In the morning, finding himself very ill, Dr. Craik of Alexandria was sent for. Soon after his arrival, the two consulting physicians were called in. He said to Colonel Lear, a little before his death, “bury me decently, and not till two days after my decease.” To Dr. Craik he said, “I die a very hard death, but I am not afraid to die.” Before he breathed his last, he laid himself on his back, placed his hands before him, and closed his own mouth and eyes.
“The General has kept a journal, containing a minute detail of every circumstance of his public life, for these many years past, which no doubt will contain some sketches of the American revolution; but the public prints are inaccurate when they lay left a professed history. This journal, with all his papers, which are very voluminous, and his library of about 1500 volumes he has left to judge Bushrod Washington, his nephew. No one in the United States will make, I presume, a more judicious disposal of the papers than the judge. He is a man whose natural talents are great, and acquirements astonishing. By intense study he has destroyed one eye, and is threatened with the loss of the other. To him alone did the General think proper to leave the documents of his biography, and from him alone ought we therefore to expect an accurate history of his life. He was left 1000l. to a literary institution in Alexandria, to which he had annually given 50l. and his 50 Potomac shares to a similar institution to be founded in the Federal city. I write you these circumstances on account of the many inaccuracies which have appeared in the public prints concerning him.”
NEW YORK, February 6.
Yesterday morning, our harbour presented a scene, very unusual at this season of the year; there were nine ships, five brigs, four schooners, and three sloops, under way outward bound, at the same time.
The afternoon exhibited a counterpart to this picture—no less than fourteen vessels arrived at our wharfs in the course of the afternoon.
Captain Brown, who arrived yesterday in 43 days from Cape de Verd, informs us, that when he had been two days out, in lat. 16, 4, long. 27, 10, he spoke a French corvette of 20 guns, from Rochefort bound to Cayenne, having a commissary on board and a number of passengers. Captain B. was boarded by the commissary and the first lieutenant, who treated him politely, and supplied him with about 150 weight of bread, some peas, beans, &c. They informed him that they had spoken with two frigates the day preceding, one of which had on board Victor Hughes from Guadalupe, whom they were conveying to Cayenne. They further assured captain Brown, that they had received orders to treat with civility in every instance all American vessels whose role d’quipage should be found regular.
In long. 70, lat. 27, 59, spoke Schooner Washington of Philadelphia, in Young, master, out 6 days from Charleston, bound to Cape Francois, all well. The ship Sally, of Salem, captain Joseph Cartwright, passed the Cape de Verd while captain Brown lay there; and on the 15th December the brig Lilly left there for Calcutta. The brig Three Friends, Norton, of and for Bolton, failed two days before captain B. She had been to Madeira, and had touched at the Cape for salt.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, February 6.
Mr. L. Williams presented a petition of Joshua Jones, a soldier during the revolutionary war, which was read and referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. J. Brown presented a petition of the merchants, traders and others of the towns of Bristol, Warren and Barrington, in the state of Rhode Island, praying that so much of the district of Newport, as is included within the county of Bristol, may be erected into a separate port of entry. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the house that the Senate had passed the bill for the relief of John Vaughan, without amendment.
On motion of Mr. Harrison, a committee was appointed to prepare and report a bill giving further time to the holders of military land warrants to register and locate the same; and leave was given to the committee to sit during the sitting of the house.
Mr. Macon laid the following resolution on the table, viz.
Resolved, That the committee of ways and means be instructed to enquire into the expediency of authorizing the collectors of the direct tax in the state of North-Carolina, to receive the paper money of that state in payment of said tax; and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. M. said, this was a subject extremely interesting to his constituents, who would find it a great difficulty to discharge the taxes of the United States in specie—a less quantity of which circulated in that state than any other in the union—and conceived that the paper currency, if allowed to be received could be expended, for the support of the troops of the United States, with as much advantage in that state as elsewhere, and of course would not operate injuriously to the revenue.
Mr. Harrison from the committee appointed this day, reported a bill for giving further time to the holders of military warrants to register and locate the same; which went through the necessary orders of the house, and was directed to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. Claiborne said, that under an act passed 3d March, 1795, a sum of 50,000 dollars was appropriated for the purpose of establishing a trade with the Indians; and on the following session a further sum of 150,000 dollars, was appropriated, for a like purpose, to be expended under the direction of the President of the United States; that in pursuance of these acts, trading houses had been established and persons appointed to superintend them, for whose government an act formerly existed, which had been suffered to expire. In order, therefore, to know whether the establishment of this trade had been beneficial, and was necessary to be continued, and with a view to obtain a statement of expenditures under the aforesaid act, Mr. C. moved a resolution requesting the President of the United States, to cause the proper officer of government to lay before this House a statement of the monies which have been expended in pursuance of the acts authorizing the appropriations above mentioned.
After a few observations from mess. Harper, Nicholas and Otis, the further consideration of the resolution was ordered to be postponed till to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Griswold, the house went into committee of the whole on the bill declaring the assent of Congress to certain acts of the states of Maryland, Rhode Island and Georgia—Mr. Parker in the chair, when the bill was amended, by striking out that part which related to Rhode Island, the act passed by that state having expired, and ordered to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow.
The bill intituled “an act respecting the mint,” was taken up in committee of the whole; agreed to without amendment, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Harrison, the House went into committee of the whole on the bill in addition to an act intituled an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of the United Brethren for propagating the Gospel among the Heathens—Mr. Parker in the chair, and after making some dry amendments, the committee rose and reported their agreement to the bill as a needed, and it was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow.
A message from the Senate by their Secretary, Mr. Otis, informed the House that the Senate had passed the bill providing for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, with sundry amendments.—Adjourned.

JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, THE FOLLOWING VALUABLE MEDICINES.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if the patient is not relieved—it never having failed in many thousand cases; not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle, and some not half a bottle.
Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills. Dr. Hahn's TRUE AND GENUINE German Corn Plaster. An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
The Genuine Persian Lotion. So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellant minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly, freckles, pimples, rits after small-pox, in-matrimony redness, feuds, tetter, ring-worms, sun-burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mild-ly, without impeding the natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health—yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth; never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. Warranted an infallible and immediate cure, at once using, being the most speedy, effectual and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public, and for the satisfaction of the public, the proprietor maketh oath, that this ointment does not contain a single particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women and on infants newly born.
Patent Indian Vegetable Specific. For the cure of Powerful Complaints of every description. An extensive trial of near four years has proved the vegetable specific to be effectual in expelling the venereal virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the verge of the grave by the improper administration of mercury. Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its happy effects. With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which occur in every stage of the disease, with explicit directions for their treatment, so as to secure a permanent cure in the shortest time and with the least inconvenience possible.
HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges. Which have, within four months past, relieved upwards of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS of all ages in various complaints arising from worms and from torpidities or obstructions in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title so commonly circulated, as operating with a degree of violence, sufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, it being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
At the place of sale may be seen many remarkable cases of cures, the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home.
Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe, that the signature of Lee & Co. (who are appointed the general agents for the United States) is pasted on the outside of each, without which they cannot be genuine.

TO THE Holders of Military Land Warrants. ZACHARIAH BIGGS AND JOHN MATHEWS
OFFER their services to the holders of military land warrants, to make the location on the 17th of February next, agreeably to the advertisement of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, relative thereto. They will receive a less quantity of warrants than for four thousand acres, and arrange them with others, so as to complete that number (which makes a location or quarter township) and have them registered. They each surveyed a district of the military tract, and have since explored the interior parts of the townships and sections, and will be able to designate with precision, the preference in the choice of the several locations or quarter townships throughout the whole body of the military lands. One tenth part of the land will be demanded for making the location, &c. to be taken by lot in such manner that their proportion of a section or quarter township will be together. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber, at No. 9, fourth Floor, two doors above the Secretary of State's office, where satisfactory general information relative to the army laws may be obtained.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers have the benefit of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that America will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation.
The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798. "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, "Respectfully represents,
"That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be diffused among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record, or themselves."
