La Distribution de la somme accordée se fera Mercredi prochain, au Coin de la Rue Sud-ouest de l'Eau & de la Rue de Walnut, entre neuf heures & midi & de trois & cinq apres midi. The Printers of Philadelphia, are requested to republish the above.
The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word; so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The t and j in the word promise are not parallel, the j inclining much more forward than the t.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the e being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters cut in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The Signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the other ink used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the authors of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

An Essay on Slavery:
Designed to exhibit in a new point of view, its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

Henry Rupe } State of Maryland. v. } High Court of Chancery, Benjamin Gaither } March 5th. 1794. and Basil Gaither
The Complainant states
in his bill that the defendants Benjamin Gaither and Basil Gaither were seized in fee as tenants in common of a tract of land in Frederick County, called Hammond's Strife;—that being so seized, Basil executed a power of attorney to Benjamin authorizing him to sell his, the said Basil's interest in the said land, that afterwards the said Benjamin sold the said land to a certain William Gaither for the consideration of six hundred pounds which hath been since paid, that the said William hath assigned to the Complainant Henry Rupe the bond executed by the said Benjamin for the conveyance of the said land: The Complainant now further states (said so appears to the Chancellor) that the defendants are non-residents of the state of Maryland, and therefore out of the reach of the process of this court.
It is therefore adjudged and ordered, that the Complainant procure a copy of this order to be inserted in the newspaper of Angell and Sullivan, and in the United States Gazette at least three weeks successively, before the twentieth day of May next; to the intent that the Defendants and all others, who may conceive themselves interested in the premises, may have notice to appear in this court, on or before the third Tuesday in September next, to show cause wherefore a decree should not pass for vesting in the Complainant a complete legal title to the land aforesaid.

BOSTON, March 25.
Copy of a letter from a gentleman now in France to his friend in this town, received by the brig Dolphin, just arrived at Providence, dated
Havre, Dec. 30, 1793.
I wrote you by the same opportunity a few days since; I then told you of the success of the armies of the Republic in the taking of Toulon and Valenciennes; this day, being the Decadi, we have been celebrating the event, or rather rejoicing with our brethren of this Republic, at the re-capture of Toulon. This morning arrived here the confirmation of the taking of Valenciennes; it is said that the Austrians lost 14,000 killed, and that 6000 came over and joined the armies of the Republic, the rest were taken prisoners.
We have also had accounts that the rebels at La Vendee, are completely cut up. On every side success attends the French arms.
It scarcely now admits of a doubt but that the TREE OF LIBERTY, planted in this country, will take root, and spread its branches over Europe, and that tyranny and oppression will be no more. If the prayer of an individual will avail any towards it, I will pray without ceasing.
Congress of the United States.
House of Representatives
Substance of the remarks made by Mr. Giles on the 10th of March 1794, upon the question for the passage of the bill providing a naval armament.
[CONCLUDED.]
Another objection to the measure, consists of the certainty and enormity of the expence, with a total uncertainty of its efficacy; whereas the plan of purchasing a peace, regards economy, if its efficacy should be doubtful; in this case, if the object be not effected, the money will not be expended. It is but a bad character of a measure, to say it is neither certain in its object, nor economical in its arrangement; yet these are the most striking traits in the present bill. When this measure was first brought into view, it was thought necessary that an estimate should accompany it, this estimate, he knew not for what reason, was kept out of view. It was nevertheless an estimate, and must again make its appearance in the house.
He expected too, that it would appear in a more formidable shape than when it was first introduced. The pay of the seamen, the most important item in the estimate, had varied its shape materially; It is now calculated at double the estimate first made, and he apprehended that the same fate would attend other parts of the estimate. He admitted that the sum mentioned in the bill, did not positively fix the wages of the seamen, but was intended as a limit to the President's discretion: He was inclined to think however, from the nature of the service, that the whole sum would be found necessary; for all the other perquisites, which the seamen will expect, must consist of toil and danger.
He observed, that the intelligence lately received, in his opinion, served to confirm all those objections, although he supposed it had affected the minds of other gentlemen very differently; because he had observed more votes in favor of the bill, since the receipt of the intelligence, than before that period. The intelligence being communicated in confidence, he supposed it would be improper to particularize those parts of it, which affected his opinion: He should therefore, only remark in general, that the intelligence had led his mind to these two conclusions.
1st. That the force to be provided, is absolutely inadequate to the object. 2d. That by proper management, a due at-

attention to time and opportunity, a peace may be effected by money. In either case, the naval armament would be rendered unnecessary, and the expense ought not to be incurred.
Mr. Giles proceeded to consider the bill as the foundation of a permanent naval establishment.
He said there was a clause in the bill authorizing the President to suspend all proceedings in the equipment of the armament in case of a peace with Algiers, which gave him some consolation; but it did not altogether relieve his apprehensions from this operation of the measure, because he knew that a permanent naval establishment was a favorite policy with some gentlemen, and because the argument had been urged in favor of the present bill.
He observed that a permanent naval establishment could be recommended to the United States, but from one or both of the following considerations. Either upon the principle of entering into a competition for naval power with the powers of Europe; or as affording security to the collection of our own revenue.
He thought the question of a permanent naval establishment, was one of the most important, which could be presented to the consideration of the house, and that the most serious consequences were necessarily connected with it. In the first place, he viewed the establishment of a navy as a complete dereliction of the policy of discharging the principal of the public debt. History does not afford an instance of a nation which continued to encroach their navy, and decreased their debt at the same time. It is an operation exceeding the ability of any nation. The naval competition of the powers in Europe has produced oppression to their subjects, and ruin to themselves. The ruin of French monarchy, he believed, might be ascribed very much to that cause. A navy is the most expensive of all means of defence, and the tyranny of governments consists in the expensiveness of their machinery. The expensiveness of the French monarchy is the true cause of its destruction. The navy of France furnished the principal item of that expense. The navy produced expense, the expense exceeded the revenue, new contributions became necessary, the people saw the tyranny and destroyed the tyrant. The same effect by the same policy, will probably be produced in Great Britain. The government is not yet destroyed, but the people are oppressed, liberty is banished. The extensiveness of the government is the true ground of the oppression of the people . The king, the nobility, the priesthood, the army, and above all the navy.
(Speech to be continued.)
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES,
Mr. FENNO,
War! War! War! Embargo! Embargo! Embargo! Are the pass words now, with some people among us, and in two or three instances, I have seen that a man who offers a contrary opinion, is in danger of getting a black eye, and a bloody nose—but who are those, you may ask, that thus violate the rights of opinion , which our blessed constitution and laws, allow to every free born Citizen of the United States? They are men , (except one) who do not own a timber head, in any Ship or Vessel—they are men who have lately made large purchases of different kinds of goods , under an idea, that an Embargo, and a war will soon take place—and that one, or both events must in their consequences, give them an opportunity of making great profits by their speculations.—This, Mr. Fenno, is a matter of fact—and is well known in this City: Let me ask you then, what must every honest, industrious and peaceable Citizen think of men, who thus wish to make fortunes for themselves at the essence of the ruin of thousands of poor innocent families . Let me ask those gentlemen, what the labourer, the Mechanic, the Sea-Faring Man, with their Wives and Children, are to do for subsistence, in case our commerce should be totally knocked up:—And I believe it is beyond doubt that it will, should we get involved in a war—in short a war must be certain ruin to the country in general—but say the speculators let it be so, provided we make fortunes by it.
Among those gentlemen is one (above excepted) who has lately sprung up among us as an Orator :—I must take particular notice of him. In one of his orations in the State House yard on a late occasion; he in a very indecent manner, called on the men of 76, who are generally understood to be those who had fought and bled to establish our liberties—let me now call on him, and ask him where he was at that period, or what he did in support of that cause? Surely it is a fact well known that if he at that time possessed any fixed sentiment in politics, it was rather in favor of his native country—and it is equally true, that till the present crisis, he-
has never shown a contrary disposition—but his interest alone, regulates his conduct ; while he was aiding his father in the pursuit of an annuity, from the British Nation, and reparation for losses in this country, which he never sustained , he held up that nation ; and their Government to the world, in the most exalted point of view: now his ends are accomplished—he comes forward with every abuse that language can bestow upon both nation and Government; and such is the man, that I will venture to assert, he will be ready to act the same part towards this Country, whenever he shall find it conducive to his private emolument—a party spirit, added to some other circumstances, got him a seat in our Assembly; through the same party, he now looks forward to a seat in the Legislature of the United States ; and yet no man ever expressed a greater contempt of another, than he has done of this party , which he now courts and seems to adore:—however it is perfectly consistent with the man—he will descend to any thing to gratify his avarice, or ambition.
HONESTUS.

Since the new partition of Poland, and since peace has been taken to make Sweden and Denmark depart from their neutrality during the present war, a new Alliance between those two powers seems to be on the carpet.
According to the last accounts from Gottenburg, the navigation of the Northern Ocean is not very safe, on account of the piracies which the French exercise in it with impunity; which is the more easy, as except two Dutch frigates, and one English, the last in the Sound, there are no other vessels to serve them as escorts.
The demarcation of the limits between this kingdom and Norway will take place without any further delay.

The Letters received here from Constantinople, dated Nov. 25, bring further particulars respecting the violation of the maritime laws laid to have been committed in the Eastern seas.
A French frigate fell in with a ship laden with merchandise, and bearing Russian colours, in the Archipelago. The French Frigate made the said ship strike without firing a gun, and carried her into Port at Smyrna.
The Turkish ministry immediately sent orders to Smyrna, not to sell the cargo of the captured ship, till a strict inquiry shall have been made into the matter. The ship is said to belong to Venice, and to have made use of Russian colours in order to get entrance into the Black sea.
On the 8th. instant, a strong earthquake was felt in Servia, which took its direction from the east to the west.
NATIONAL CONVENTION OF FRANCE Thursday Jan. 21st.
The following letter was read from the Representatives of the people, J. B. Lacoste and Baudot:
“Germersheim, 9 Nivose. [29 Dec.]
“The success of the armies of the Moselle and the Rhine, dear colleagues, are astonishing, and their march is most rapid: they yesterday made themselves masters of the important post of Germersheim, which covers Landau, assures the preservation of the lines of Queich, and opens the door of the Palatinate. Our brave defenders are, at this moment, within one league of Spires, and we are assured, that the light troops have entered the Town. We are assured also, that the Prussians and Austrians, in separating, made their adieu to each other, on coming out of the little Town of Bergzabren, with flakes of their sabres, and with a discharge of their fusils.
“The first have retired to Neustadt, and Mayence; the second have repassed the Rhine by three different bridges, which they had the wise precaution to erect for the purpose.
It was time; for if they had not made the best use of their legs, for many days and nights, they would have been all exterminated. Their routes are covered with prisoners and deserters.
“The courageous perseverance of the Armies who have delivered Landau, and of the garrison who preserved it, ought to procure for them the same honours as the Army that besieged Toulon. We believe that we only participate in your intentions in expressly desiring it.
“The battle of Kaisberg has proved to the enemies, that they have nothing but destruction to look for from the defenders of the Republic; after more than four hours of a charge; under a terrible and incessant fire, not a single soldier shrunk from the ranks, and they saw the stragglers running in all directions, and at their utmost speed, to partake in the glory of their intrepid brothers in arms; thus the victory was complete, and ascertained the triumph of the Republic.
“The Enemy have left us considerable Magazines at Lauterbourg, and particularly of Powder, to which they had put a match, which they had lighted on their
departure; it was extinguished in the very moment when it was to explode, and to blow the City and the part of the Army that occupied the place in the air.
“The Austrians, on their flight, set fire to many of their magazines. They have however, left us a great many fusils, at Germersheim; oats, dry vegetables, flour and other grain, besides 800,000 rations of forage at Pomerheim, and 30,000 coverlets. We depart to-morrow for Spires.
“Health and Brotherhood,
“BAUDOT, J. B. LACOSTE.”
LEGHORN, December 11.
An English frigate arrived the day before yesterday in this harbor, reports, that since the moment of her departure from Tunis, effected ten days ago, five ships of the line and six frigates, English and Spanish, blocked there a numerous French fleet.
LONDON, January 8.
Lord Moira, who was in town yesterday set out last night for Portsmouth, where the troops under his command are collected—The original object of this expedition is, we understand, by no means given up.
The duke of Brunswick is said to have gained a complete victory over the French at Anweller on the 28th, and Wurmsfer is said to have regained the position which he had on the 24th. It is likewise said, that Landau is still blockaded. There are some doubts about the authenticity of these accounts.
Several hundreds of Burghers, without distinction of profession or rank, are working at the ramparts at Frankfort.
January 9.
Last night a messenger arrived with dispatches from Ghent and Brussels. By letters from the latter place, dated the 6th instant, we learn that a part of the British army had moved to Courtray, whither it was expected the head-quarters of his royal highness the duke of York would be transferred.
Letters from Manheim and Frankfort, on the 29th and 30th instant, speak pretty confidently of a victory gained by the duke of Brunswick over the French, in the Valley of Anweller, on the 28th.—We are sorry to add, that these accounts are not confirmed by any official intelligence.
We extract the following article from a Brussels paper of the 6th instant, entitled, “Journal de la Guerre.”
“An officer of the regiment of royal infantry, belonging to the royal Catholic army, employed in the army of La Vendee, was made a prisoner in the affair of Mans on the 4th of Dec. He was to have been shot on the 6th; but he found means to escape to Paris on foot, and from thence to the Frontier—he is at this time at Mons.
“He reports that the royalists army is not to be numbered. They have 15000 regular troops, Austrians, Swiss, ancient Marechaussee and soldiers. They have not less than 200 pieces of cannon.
The affair of Granville was only meant as an attempt. They did not mean to enter upon a regular siege; for, though they had 70,000 men before the town, they were not calculated for that kind of attack, being mostly peasants, who strongly attached to the cause, were anxious to have a post to give up to the royalists.
“They anxiously looked for succours from England, and particularly a reinforcement of engineers, and officers of artillery and infantry. It was not till the beginning of december that they knew that the English were disposed to succour them.
“He said, that the affair of Mans cost each party nine or ten thousand men. The two armies reciprocally shot their prisoners. It was estimated, that the campaign in La Vendee had cost France more than two hundred thousand men!
“The royalists army had been twice almost entirely renewed. They drew their best recruits from Brittany. They consider the Bretons as the flower of their army.
“The plan was, after the affair of Mans, to march to Paris; but circumstances had since occurred to alter that destination.”
January 10.
The Flanders mail which arrived this day, brings the confirmation of the raising of the blockade of Landau, and the re-passing of the Rhine by the Austrian and Prussian armies, who, after so many victories gained, and the greatest hard-
ships suffered with the utmost patience and heroism, were obliged to yield at last to the superior numbers of the Sans-Culottes, who, ever since the 22d ult. with a force reckoned at 180,000 men, and a numerous and formidable artillery, made the most desperate attacks upon Gen. Wurmsfer and the duke of Brunswick.
On the 25th the prince Hohenlohe was slightly wounded.
On the 26th the duke of Brunswick attempted to make an attack, but the French got the start of him, and after the most bloody conflict, the Prussians and the Austrians were both obliged to retreat.
On the 26th, the cordon of General Wurmsfer was also obliged to retreat, after an immense quantity of blood shed on both sides. All the inhabitants of Haguenau and Weissenbourg, apprehensive lest they should experience the fate of the Lyoneze, took flight at the approach of the Patriots, who pursued them under the cannon of Port Louis.
Many of the unfortunate fugitives were killed by the cannon of the fortress, and were obliged to pass the whole night under the bare heavens before they could be admitted.
The French were before Spires on the 29th, and the military hospital of the Prussians has been removed thence.
From Haguenau to Spires, all the inhabitants fled, and those of the Duchy of Deux-Ponts, have had recourse to the same measure.
The head-quarters of General Wurmsfer were on the 31st ult. at Schwetzingen, two leagues from Heidelberg.
The head-quarters of the Duke of Brunswick were at Oppenheim.
Letters from Mentz of the 31st ult. state, that the Republicans are masters of Germersheim, Neustadt, and Spires.
Manheim is putting into a respectable state of defence, and has an Austrian garrison.
The Elector of Mentz has left his Capital with a part of his Retinue, and is gone to Aschaffenburg.
To lessen the importance of our conquests, and aggravate and multiply our losses and defeats, have been of late the common, though novel practice of certain individuals among us, as if the glory and felicity of their country were subjects of chagrin and misfortune, and their sole object was to render despondency universal; but however anxious they may be to see Great Britain humbled, degraded, or reduced to be a province to France—God forbid that any disasters should extinguish the natural energy of the nation, or force it to prostrate itself at the feet of the Convention, or meanly solicit its clemency and protection.
What would such a conduct be in fact, but a declaration of guilt and bankruptcy?—The former of which has been contradicted by the sentence of death against Le Brun, and the latter by the abundant wealth and resources of the country.
It seems most probable, that Lord Hood, after leaving Toulon, would steer for Corsica. His force would immediately reduce the two or three Towns which had held out against the troops of Paoli; and thus a ready and convenient asylum would be found for the Touloneze Royalists.
By a letter received a few days since from Bourdeaux, we are informed, that some of the principal merchants confined in that city were lately restored to their liberty by an order from the Municipality: but in respect to their effects, they were privately taken care of for the benefit of the State.
By the last letters from Malta we learn, that Lord Hood had demanded and obtained from the Grand Master of the Order, 1800 sailors, on condition that they should be employed in the Mediterranean only.
A convoy of 600 vessels, English, Dutch, &c. was ready to sail from Malta, escorted by eight English men of war.
By letters from Barcelona, dated December 8, the Spanish Generals are said to be determined to pursue their victory, and to attack Perpignan. The Spanish army will be augmented to 70,000 men. All the armed peasants are to be allowed bread, and about 25 sols each per diem.
The Duke of Medina Celi has raised and maintains a regiment at his own expence.
Yesterday a proclamation was issued for a general fast to be observed, in England on Friday the 28th, and in Scotland on

Thursday the 27th of February on account of the War we are engaged in with France.
On Wednesday the King in Council signed an Order for the transportation of Messrs. Muir and Palmer to Botany Bay, for the term sentenced by the high court of judiciciary of Scotland.
Dispatches are now hourly expected from Lord Hood, respecting the evacuation of Toulon.
A warrant has just passed the treasury board, for issuing the sum of 300,000l. for the service of the ordnance department.
The duties of the custom-house, notwithstanding the war, are only 48,000l. less than the year preceding: and as the East India company in the year 1792 paid in an arrear of 150,000l. in fact the actual Receipts exceed the former year by 102,000l.

Upwards of 50 French and American vessels sailed from this port yesterday afternoon, to join the convoy now waiting at Annapolis and Norfolk, under whose protection they are shortly to sail for different ports in France.
Yesterday arrived here in 35 days from Gibraltar, the Brig Swallow, Capt. M c Clarkland—he brings no later accounts than those already received from Europe, per arrivals at New-York, and Philadelphia—when he sailed from Gibraltar six ships of the line and 14 frigates lay there, being part of the Toulon fleet, which were bro't away on the evacuation of that place, on the 18th and 19th of Dec. last the remainder of the fleet under Lord Hood had gone into Leghorn. Captain M c Clarkland adds that 19 American vessels had been carried into Algiers.

A certain Great House after spending two days to determine whether two black beans will make one white one, not being able to agree, have postponed a consideration of the important question—Those who maintained the negative of the proposition were urgent for an immediate opinion—while those who advocated the affirmative, fearing that a majority would be found who would vote that one and one make two—attaching to themselves those that were suspended on the "horns of a dilemma" formed a majority in favor of hanging up the business.

"I am glad Madison's propositions will not go down; I think they will only tend to produce other regulations on the part of Great Britain, and fall far short of the effects intended; they seem to me to be half measures."
Extract of a letter from Boston, March 24. "We are every day alarmed with rumors of wars, of spoils, &c. and our spouters spout most vehemently—However they all rely on Congress—and from the spirited measures adopted by that body, they will grow more pious in their notes, I hope in a few days.
"We are not deeply engaged in election, but there will be a little pulling and hawling, there will not, it is probable any choice of Governor by the people—Mr. Adams will receive the old support—but not so strong for Governor as for Lieutenant Governor; he grows old—and the Commonwealth has experienced the disadvantage of imbecility too
recently to be forgotten—Judge Cushing will be the next candidate—He will be ably supported in several counties—Mr. Phillips President of the Senate, will have Essex, &c. in his favor—Mr. Gerry will have many votes.
Extract of a letter from Boston, March 24.
"We have nothing new here except that the civic feast proposed by our Jacobin club, has turned out skeleton fare. The public opinion was against them; the Club as was most naturally supposed, would have subscribed the pittance of one dollar to gain a rallying point, after their late town meeting defeat, but alas! not 200 names could be found to grace the subscription paper.
"The Lieut. Governor had given orders for the parade of artillery on to-morrow: but the first of April being near, and it being hinted, that the step would be construed into a breach by government, of the proclamation of neutrality; he gave it a death blow by countermanding orders; and the governmental party, the true friends of their country's peace and happiness, permitted the brat to die in the womb as early as possible.—If faces may be considered as indexes of feelings, we may consider this as in point of quality, mortification, primus —tho' secundus in point of time."
THEATRE.
OBSERVER No. XII.
Mr. FENNO,
The Observer wishes to make a remark to the managers of the New Theatre.
Mr. Wignell in his introductory address to the audience, the first evening the Theatre was opened, made the following promise:
"Great by your favor grown, the rising age, Shall bless the efforts of a moral stage; The stage in purity,—the stage refined, Clear'd of its dross, may charm, instruct mankind."
Virtue may here its brightest lesson learn, And scouted vice, its ugliness discern."
How far this promise has been fulfilled, in the Dramatic pieces exhibited, the Observer leaves the managers to judge; hazarding an opinion that in the most of the performances, he believes, they have done well in the selection; but cannot say as much for all.
In filling the parts with proper characters, the Observer is sensible many difficulties occur; let the managers be cautious however, especially in the Grecian Daughter, an excellent play—Mr. Fennel, Mr. Whitlock, and Mrs. Whitlock, have their proper parts, in the assignment; but it is true, that, three or four of the gentlemen characters are properly cast? The Observer means only to hint; if the play is repeated, he begs an experiment, of alteration; surely it will not be worse, and he conjectures it will be better.
Critical as the assignment of parts is, the Observer will make some remarks upon the several exhibitions in that respect, when opportunity will admit.
He requests the managers to give some new pieces, if they have any, as the old ones, seem not to gain by repetition; at any rate they do not gain audience, which is one important object for the managers.—Every one will approve of a repetition of the Grecian Daughter; but for your own sakes, give something new the next performance.

NEW-YORK, March 31.
Extract of a letter from London, dated January 8.
"Government are about removing some pressures that have borne hard upon the navigation of your states. The committee of American merchants having made strong remonstrances on the delays of the Admiralty Courts, and detention of property—we are persuaded things in future as respects your shipping will move better than they have done—actual property will be better respected. It is the plundering privateers, against whom, and with justice, the heaviest complaints lie. The late order of Council will be revoked, and fresh instructions will appear in the next Gazette. We understand application has been made to the French Convention, also respecting the American shipping detained in their ports, by the Minister of the states and other American Citizens, now at Paris: we hope they will be speedily liberated.
10th January.—"The Belvedere has been detained by request of the committee, and will convey the order of Council alluded to above, which if it be as extensive as promised, must conciliate and make America perfectly content with respect to her navigation."
His excellency the Governor, arrived in this city yesterday, from Albany. The Legislature adjourned on Thursday last, to meet at Poughkeepsie.
Yesterday arrived here in 22 days from Jamaica, the Sloop New-York and Philadelphia Packet, Capt. Fitz Patrick.
By the above vessel, we learn that Martinique was still in possession of the French, and that there was but little probability of their losing it. Provisions of all kinds fell very high in most of the Islands—flour, in particular, sold for 16 dollars a barrel—that many of the inhabitants had already commenced the use of yams, &c. instead of bread.
The Brig Mary, Captain James Codwile, who sailed from Guadalupe on the 5th of February was taken on the 6th and carried into Dominique. Letters in town from him & his brother in St. Croix, mention, that the Judge of said place said he could not condemn any American vessels until further orders, and expected all would be liberated.
KINGSTON, [Jam.] Feb. 15.
Capture of a French Man of War.
From the Dublin Journal of Dec. 31.
Cork, Dec. 29
"I am="Text"> "I am this moment returned from Kinsale, and have the pleasure to inform you, that Admiral Kingsmill, in the Swiftsure of 74 guns, is off the Old Head, with a French 64 gun ship he captured on his passage from Portsmouth, after an action of 45 minutes, in which he had 25 men wounded. The French man of war is a valuable prize, and was bound to the West Indies with a large sum of money and clothing for their army there. The Admiral was boarded by several boats, and did intend then, if the wind would permit, to return to England with the prize—and this will perhaps therefore be the first account you receive of it, which you may depend on as authentic.
Two or three Spanish privateers, or rather picaroon, are said to be cruising between St. Marc and Cape Nichola Mole, and pillage every vessel of inferior force, which they fall in with, let them belong to whom they may.
A Spanish privateer lately fell with and plundered a Schooner bound to Philadelphia. The Captain was robbed of more than six hundred dollars.
Several vessels on their way from Jamaica to St. Marc's, and other ports, in our possession, have likewise been plundered by these piratical people.
Two American ships and three brigs were sent in on Sunday. Four of them prizes to his Majesty's ship Hermione, and one to the Magicienne. They are loaded with sugar, coffee, cotton and provisions.
"The Spaniards have assembled a considerable force at Petite Riviere. Their expedition against the incendiaries of Artibonite has destroyed or dispersed them, and the runaways are returning to the plantations of their owners.
"Within these ten days several Americans have quitted Port-au-Prince, and been taken by our privateers, and carried to L'Archaye. These vessels were full of passengers, of whom the men purchased the permission to quit the place, by the payment of 25 half-joes, and the women 15, but nevertheless were only allowed to embark on board Americans, who fix their own price, and for carrying a person from Port-au-Prince to L'Archaye, (9 leagues) they charge 8 half-joes. Those who attempt to get away without paying, and without having a receipt for the 25 half-joes, are instantly shot."
March 1.
It was understood in England, previous to the sailing of the Packet, that government had it in contemplation to throw open all the ports in the West-India islands to American bottoms, and to permit the free importation of every species of provisions, lumber, &c.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A Ground Plan
OF THE City Philadelphia, AND ITS ENVIRONS:
Taken from actual survey, by A. P. POLIE, Geographer, from St. Domingo.
THIS Plan will be engraved on a plate 26 inches square; and it will contain an exact description of all the squares, streets and alleys in the City and Liberties. The situation of the several public buildings, such as the State-House, City-Hall, Seat of Congress, Churches, Meeting-Houses, Hospital, Library and Seminaries of Learning—of the several Banks, and of the Federal and State Offices, will be ascertained. The parts which are built on will be distinguished from those that are not. The courses of the streets between Delaware and Schuylkill, and as much of the Canal, intended to connect the navigation of those two waters, as lies within the compass of the draught, will be accurately delineated. It will also be ornamented by a view of the shipping in the harbor, and an elevation of Congress-Hall, and of the other public buildings that occupy the ground contiguous. In short, nothing will be omitted to render this useful and desirable work acceptable to an enlightened public, that is in the author's power; and it shall be completed with the greatest possible dispatch, as soon as the generous encouragement of subscribers shall inure to the author such a sum as will be sufficient to defray expenses.
A Pamphlet will be delivered with each Plan, which will contain an alphabetical list of the Subscribers names, and information concerning the police, population and present state of the city.
The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars and one third, to be paid at the time of delivering the Plans. Subscriptions will be gratefully received at the principal Booksellers in this city—and the original Draft may be seen at B.

Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal Justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.
