PIRACY!
THE Schooner DELIGHT, the property of Manuel Antonio Martin of the Island of Bona Vista, was on the 18th of October last, while lying at anchor in the road of that Island, forcibly entered and carried off by JOHN DUNHAM, JOHN MURRAY, a man by the name of DODGE, and one other person, name unknown.—This vessel was sold to M. A. Martin, by William McNeill, who came to Bona Vista in her, from Madeira.—She was built in the county of Matthews, State of Virginia, and was registered at New-York, the 16th April, 1793.—Her name was painted on her stern—Her dimensions as follows: 56 feet 6 inches keel, 16 feet 6 inches beam, hold 6 feet 2 inches, her burthen 54 tons.

Published at Richmond.
MR. DAVIS,
TO you is presented for publication, the enclosed extract of a letter, of the 4th instant, from a Philadelphia citizen, whose life in the late war, when real objects were at stake, exhibits incontrovertible testimonials of his love of country, his obedience to the obligations of morality, and his personal military exertions in the cause of reason and of liberty.—I have introduced this detail of the writer's character, because the inchoate passionate proceedings of one branch of an august body, detailed by the public papers, and heightened by private correspondence, which every mail circulates through this state, manifests unequivocally that the spirit of internal discord and foreign war, is affectionately estimated by some deputies of a people, who hold the peaceable occupations of the harrow and the plough to be the certain paths to national weight and to individual happiness, and who did suppose that our constitution general, and constitutions particular, afforded a positive warrantee of peace and its blessings to them, which never could be interrupted by the egotism and passion of men, clothed with public authority, aided by the desperation of their seconds, whose noise is become as disgusting, as is their courage to fight and power to pay those who have courage to fight. Whether we are to be deprived of the abundant blessings we possess, will depend on those to whom our public concerns are entrusted. May the God of Nature endue our Congress with wisdom, and by his special interposition, save our nation from the menaced deep calamity, by inspiring the House of Representatives with a recollection, that they are the trustees of a people who love religion, obey the truths of morality, and like our Blessed Saviour, believe peace among mankind to be the highest grade of felicity allowed to the human race.
THE EXTRACT.
“OUR worthy friend, I ought to say father, from his goodness to us, has lived too long: A second war opens to his view, and catches him like the past in enterprising commercial adventures—I with his situation now was correspondent to his situation then—but alas! injured by the capture of his vessels, and injured by the paper payments received from his country, he was reduced low.—When he recommenced on the return of peace the business to which he had been bred, again his honesty flourished, and he had again fair prospects from the slow but certain gains of frugality and industry.—His numerous family urged him into an extension of his foreign business, and pending his second adventure on his enlarged plan, war appears!—war unnecessary and apparently courted!—but so it is—for could you hear the debates of the Congress, you would think that our country's happiness is at an end.—Revenge governs our politicians—or perhaps in its garb, personal interests, personal animosity, and base ambition—Our Legislators are too highly paid—They become proud and mighty of spirit, and think that as they are well off so long as they can hold their places, which they count certain so long as the passions and not the judgment of their constituents can be resorted to, and therefore hold cheap the public welfare.—Virginia ought to set the good example of mixing honor with coin, in return for the services of Congress. I am told your own State Senators and State delegates have but twelve shillings per day in money, and the balance in honor; and they are generally speaking, superior to the United States' House of Representatives. “An experiment in Congress in this way would be fair in this period of theory—if it produced respect to retraction and

contempt for declamation, the blessings of our political constitutions would probably continue from generation to generation. Unless some change takes place soon, measures will be pushed from session to session, until those who think they can better us, succeed.—Britain commonly, Algiers sometimes, and mal-administration of the Federal Government always, together with the weight of obligation to France occasionally, compose the text, and you would be astonished at the capacity of the expositors, for although eloquence is rare among them, found argument confined to one (your amiable, theoretic country-man,) they all possess parliamentary courage, and they all use their right of franking letters liberally, and of course make much bustle in the House and out of the House.—They will begin, about a war, if Great-Britain is not immovably averse to it—unless the good sense of the landed interest of the United States interferes in time.—To be moderate begins to be criminal—and to address the judgment of those entrusted with the awful right of changing us from peace to war, is considered as treason.—Urge on war! is the tone among men who are amply paid and greatly trusted by a people not free from the debt of a war founded on morality, the nativity of independence, and giving to their extensive country the full blessings of true liberty, with the most flattering prospects that their dear children should enjoy the boon possessed, without the tax of the calamity to which their fathers were exposed in procuring it.—The disgraceful appellation of Monarchist and Aristocrat, is affixed to those who deprecate war, by the impudent and unprincipled abettors of anarchy, who debase the liberty they enjoy, by denying to their fellow-citizens one of its most precious attributes, the freedom of opinion.—Tell me whether the late proceedings of your towns, bespeak truly the sense of the towns?—And, whether if this be the case, your country people unite with the towns?—When I lived in Virginia, the land holders ruled, and they ought always to rule, if they mean to be happy.”
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO. OUR disorganizing party say, leave the work of government to our management. We will let matters into a wonderfully fine train.—We will continue embargo after embargo, for the benefit of trade. The English will not let us traffic in the West Indies, and we will cut off at a stroke of our guillotine all trade with England.—We will break all the bones that we find whole in the skins of our poor bruised merchants. We will prevent negotiation in order to prevent war.—We will sequester debts, prohibit all commerce and do our worst to scare the Englishmen out of their wits, lest we should be displeased with them. In the mean time we will go on and restrict trade very much at leisure, we shall have nothing else to do. Thus for the love we bear our dear merchants, we will have no commerce. Our zeal for peace is shown just as sensibly. We lay stumbling blocks in the way of negotiation. We seem to treat when we have cause of war with England. When we have actual war with Algiers we seem to do anything but treat. In the first case, treating is playing the fool, in the second, arming is not better. To get ready for war, we talk fiercely. We stab the revenue to the vitals, forbid the importations which yield it, and then strong in poverty we defy all foes. Without the sinews of war, we will provoke it. Let us alone, and the national government shall be dieted on ratbane. No medicine of your federal quacks gives such a tone to the fibres.
CONSISTENCY.
Foreign Intelligence.
Continued from the LONDON PAPERS received by Capt. TRUXTON.
MANHEIM, January 20.
Field-Marshal Count Moellendorf, who replaces the Duke of Brunswick in the command of the Prussian Army, is expected in a few days.
The French have set fire to the Palace of Worms.
The French column that evacuated Krentz-nach on the 9th inst. retreated beyond Birkenfeldt, every where raising contributions, and carrying off Hostages. It is thought that that column will soon retreat beyond the river Queich.
The Inhabitants are every where rising on the Banks of the Rhine, and it is thought that several Circles of the Empire will shortly furnish an army of 100,000 men.
January 21.
Yesterday the Prussians attacked the French between Worms and Rhine-Durkheim. The
cannonade lasted several hours, but the issue of the engagement has not transpired.
In the afternoon of the 19th intelligence was received at Oppenheim, that the French were on the point of evacuating Worms, and from the large volumes of smoke which rose from that quarter, there is reason to suppose that that city has been set on fire. We expect the farther particulars.
The Duke of Brunswick is at Mentz, and General Knobelsdorf has reached Oppenheim.
The Republicans have upwards of 1000 waggons with them, which came from Lorraine and Alsace, for the purpose of carrying off the immense booty which they take in this country.
The French were driven from the Village of Marheim on the 13th inst. with great loss, the best part of their cavalry and infantry were killed. The rest made a precipitate retreat to Kirchheim, favored by a thick fog. One of their advanced posts of 1200 men, stationed in the wood, was entirely cut in pieces. The Prussians also took on this occasion three officers, 48 privates and upwards of 20 horses.
We are this moment informed, that the smoke seen in the environs of Worms, was owing to the conflagration of the Palace, and of all the buildings belonging to the Nobility and Gentry.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 12.
Giafar Han, Sovereign of the Chiras, one of the most powerful Princes of Persia, has lately been dethroned by his brother, Mahomet Han, who entered into the possession of his dominions.—This new Persian usurper is now threatening the Turkish dominions with a powerful invasion.
A far more formidable enemy has lately risen in Arabia, who menaces the Sublime Porte with no less than a total subversion of the Mahometan Religion and destruction to the reign of the Successors of the Caliphs.
This enemy is a Scheich Hujabi, who is at the head of a numerous Arabian Tribe, encamped between Mecca and Baffora. He professes to deny the Divine Mission of Mahomet, the Sanctity of the Alcoran, and all the Religious Ceremonies of Mahometanism. He and his Tribe are continually adoring the Divinity in the open field, despising the institution of Mosques or Temples. The Father of this Arabian Chief, an old man of eighty, is the Founder, and Principal Priest of this new sect. The Rights and Laws, he has composed himself, and collected in a book. It is much apprehended, that the first acts of hostility of these New Sectaries will be directed against Mecca and Medina, in order to render themselves masters of the immense treasures of the Ottoman Empire contained in these two towns.
Our Government seem in a sea of uncertainty, respecting the powerful Iman, of Mascay of whom it is yet unknown, which party he will embrace.
PARIS, January 26.
Camille Desmoulins has been arrested and conducted to the prison-house, lately belonging to the Carmelites.
The famous Abbe Robert has been taken up at Besancon, and the Chevalier Fittier has been arrested at Lille.
Charles Alexander Descharmes, natural son of Brulard Sillery, and formerly Aid-de-Camp to Dampierre, has been ordered to be put in irons for forging a passport. Some others have been ordered to be executed for incivism. The trials are ordered to be carried on with increased speed, for the prisons are not sufficiently large to hold their victims.
A letter from Mans, dated 11th inst. announces, that the royal and christian army, on the left bank of the river Loire, is daily increasing.
A great number of vessels and ships of different sizes are daily launched at Cherbourg; and the preparations for a descent upon England are continued at Brest, Havre, St. Maloes, Cherbourg, and in all the ports in the Channel, with the utmost activity.
On the motion of Couthon, the Jacobins have appointed four commissioners, charged to present an act of accusation against all kings, to prefer their crimes both in public and private character.—This act of accusation is to be sent by the Jacobins and laid before the Revolutionary Tribunal for the public opinion.
Letters from Lyons mention, that the executions continue without intermission. The following letter was read in the sittings of the Commons on the 22d.
“We are in no want of Employment; besides our other occupations, we have to watch a great number of traitors, and dis-
cover their conspiracies. It is even become requisite to watch our own troops, who have shown some signs of incivism.
“The demolitions advance. The Popular Society would soon be cashiered, if an armed force did not protect it. Instruction is the order of the day, for it is in vain to discuss the great interest of the Republic, while the people are so uninformed.
(Signed) “PELLETIER, “Representative of the People.”
The notary Brichard and his head clerk, have been arrested, and taken to the Conciergerie, by order of the committee of general safety, for having negotiated a loan, in 1790 for the Prince of Wales. An interpreter has been arrested on the same account.
The Swiss have, according to letters from Basle, made a present to the republic of sixty thousand pair of shoes, a part of them have been already sent to Huningen. We are assured, that the Senate of Basle, received with the most lively satisfaction, the officer dispatched by the French General, to communicate the late brilliant successes of the republic.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
January 12.
A letter from Tureau Bourbotte, representatives at the Isle of Noirmoutier, which they have called the Isle of the Mountain, stated that they had taken all the necessary precautions to guard this island, which might be called one of the keys of France. They had established a sufficient garrison, appointed an able engineer, a Sans Culotte commander, and a revolutionary tribunal of a good stamp. —On the morning after victory, the commissioners, thinking that a number of royalists might be concealed in the woods, and among the rocks, ordered a general hunt of them in the same manner as of rabbits; and this search brought forth an immense crowd of priests, of the wives of emigrants, and others who had constantly eluded the pursuit of the Republicans. A military commission was issued to try these people, and from General Delbec downwards they had suffered death.
“You will see,” says the letter, “by the copy of the interrogatory of Delbec, that the Isle of Noirmoutier became the retreat of these chiefs, only because they were led to expect these succors from Pitt, to whom they, only fifteen days before, had sent the Chevalier du Delarobrie, to present to the English court a state of the forces, the resources and the wants of the royalists in this part of France, agreeable to the desire of the British cabinet, and they found provisions for 20,000 men for six months.
Thursday, January 23.
The representative of the people, Lequinio, writes from Rochefort, that the ex-deputy, Dechezeaux, has just paid the forfeit of his crimes with his head. The republican ship, the Jemappe, of 74 guns, has been launched, and will soon be followed by several others. The public spirit of revolution is at its acme in these parts.
The criminal code is not sufficiently severe; or rather, it takes no notice of perjury in criminal causes. This day the National Convention decreed, “That a false witness shall incur the same punishment which would have been incurred by the person against whom his falsehood was directed.”
On the proposition of Thuriot, the question, whether perjury in civil causes ought not to be punished with death? is referred to the committee of legislation.
NEW THEATRE.
THIS EVENING,
April 23.
Will be performed,
A COMEDY, called the
School for Scandal.
To which will be added, A COMIC OPERA, written by the author of the Poor Soldier, never performed here called
Peeping Tom of Coventry.
Peeping Tom, Mr. Bates Mayor of Coventry, Mr. Finch Harold, Mr. Marshall Crazy, Mr. Francis Earl of Mercia, Mr. Green Count Lewis, Mr. Cleveland Maud, Mrs. Marshall Emma, Miss Broadhurst Lady Godiva, Mrs. Cleveland Mayors, Mr. Shaw BOXES, one dollar—PITT, three quarters of a dollar—and GALLERY, half a dollar.
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 i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
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 o 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 ent 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 inks 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.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794.
April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.
THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America.
By order of the Committees of the respective Boards.
Those persons who
undertake to cut timber or wood of any kind whatever, from any lands of the real estate of the late Richard Stockton Esq. deceased, in the western precinct of the county of Somerset in the state of New Jersey, under a pretence of a right to cut on lands adjacent, are requested to desist from so doing, or they will be proceeded against in such manner as may prove troublesome and expensive to themselves.

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 23.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, April 22.
Capt. Kemp of the Ohio, arrived yesterday from London, has favored us with London prints to the 13th February, from which we have copied the following:— N. Y. Daily Adv.
LONDON, February 7.
Wednesday morning the arrival of the Swallow Packet at Torbay, with the Most Noble Marquis Cornwallis, and part of his suite on board, was announced at the India-House.
The Swallow left Madras on the 10th of October.
When the Swallow left India, all the Precedencies and possessions of the Company were in an unexampled state of prosperity; five lacks of Pagodas had been sent to Bengal from Madras, and there were still five lacks remaining in the Treasury of Fort St. George.
Tippoo Saib had made all his payments; and what is still better given the most ample and decided opinion against the conduct of the French, pledging himself to have no concern or alliance with the Convention.
The Nabob of Arcot and Rajah of Tanjore had also used the most ardent and spirited exertions in supplying our Forces with provisions, &c, on their march to Pondicherry.
Lord Hood having been it asserted in the French Gazette, that a great number of vessels had entered the Port of Toulon, being ignorant of its recapture, has unequivocally contradicted this assertion in his last dispatches; and has, moreover, written word—that since Toulon was evacuated, only one ship of any description has entered that Port. From this we may judge what degree of credit is due to the reports of the French Convention.
According to the last dispatches from India, we are happy to announce the safe arrival of Lord Macartney at Peking. His Lordship writes from thence, that he has been received by the Emperor of China with the utmost civility; and there is every prospect of the object of his embassy being obtained.
The Omnium was yesterday done at the Stock Exchange, at the very low price of 1 half per cent. premium.
Two very contradictory reports concerning Robespierre, have been in circulation for these last few days. One states, that the people, risen in favor of Chabot and Bazire, have assembled round the houses of Robespierre and Danton with very alarming demonstrations of discontent, and were still besieging those two famous Anarchists, when the Courier who brought this intelligence came away. The other on the contrary, says, that a plan is in agitation of declaring Robespierre the Dictator of France.
We are not able to state the origin and foundation of the first of these rumours; but the latter probably originates from the following event:
Mr. de Bompere, Commander of a division of the French Northern Army, received lately an express from Paris, which informed him, that there existed at Paris a very strong party in favor of Louis XVII. whose designs it were impossible to frustrate by any other means, but that of raising Robespierre to the dignity of a Dictator; and that he (Bompere) ought to found the sentiment of the Army on this subject.
As Bompere seeming to express some astonishment at this piece of information, the emissary told him, that he must immediately acquaint him with what he meant to do, and that his life was at stake.—Upon which Bompere promised to comply with the request, but seized the first opportunity of effecting his escape into Austrian Flanders. Count Kinsky, an Austrian General, to whom in justification of his desertion, Bompere related this transaction, caused his relation to be printed, and a great number of them to be distributed among the advanced posts of the French Army.
A few copies have reached London, and the above is the substance of the contents.
Letters were received yesterday morning from Flanders, which give an account of preparations making at Dunkirk, now called Dunes Libres. They have already 21 gun-boats, and are arming six others. They are also preparing furnaces for heating balls.
Letters from Turin, dated Jan. 11, states, that the French, owing to the bad weather, were obliged precipitately to abandon their posts, with the loss of baggage, artillery, ammunition and men.
The report of Jourdain's disgrace and arrest, which originated at Brussels is no longer believed there.
According to the accounts from the West Indies, a great number of American ships had been taken and sent into our ports under the order of Nov. 6th. This order, issued by our Ministers on no principle of justice or sound policy, but in the intoxication of imaginary success, and as putillanimously retracted as it was inconsiderately issued, will thus be acted upon for several weeks, and the public will have to pay all the expences incurred by the detention of the ships taken only to be restored. The effects of it in America will be to convince every man that the States are not to depend for the security of their commerce as a neutral nation, on the moderation of the British Cabinet, but on their own power to afford it protection.
The Swiss Cantons have returned an Answer to the Memorial presented by Lord Fitzgerald, the British Minister.—This Answer, which has been given ever since the 30th of November last, implies, that it is the unalterable resolution of the Cantons, regardless of the scenes of horror which France, paralyzed by anarchy, exhibits, to adhere to a most inviolable system of Neutrality, it being a precept and maxim transmitted to the Swiss by their ancestors, never to meddle in Foreign broils.
The extraordinary expences have arisen in France to such a height, that in the month of November only, they amounted to 227 millions of livres, which is more than half of the yearly expence before the Revolution.
We cannot expect any material news from Flanders for some time. We have seen gentlemen who have returned from Flanders so late as Friday evening. The roads are impassible for the transportation of cannon, which alone would prevent any offensive operations, were either party disposed to begin them.
A letter from Vienna, dated January 20, contains the following news:
“The object of the negotiation of the marquis Luckresini has at last transpired. The court of Berlin refused to take any part in another campaign, unless subsidies were paid to his Prussian majesty by the Emperor and the German Empire. These have been granted. The yearly sum to be paid by the Emperor and the Empire amounts to ten millions of florins; and his Prussian majesty has bound himself, besides his contingent to furnish an army of 40,000 men at the opening of the ensuing campaign.
“His Imperial majesty has at length given his consent to a War-Tax being imposed on his subjects; but in order to ease their burthens, he has at the same time resolved to send a set of gold plate to the mint, which was made under the reign of Francis I. and cost above a million of florins. With the same view he has also lessened the expences of his court.
PARIS, February 1.
All the Journals own, that the troops of the Republic, evacuated Worms agreeable to the plan of their Generals, and not owing to the valor of the Prussians.
A Letter from Cambray of the 30th ult. states that a great number of Austrian Hussars join the Standard of the Republic, and that desertion seems to be quite a contagion among them.
They write from the Port of the Mountain (Toulon), that eight sail of line are nearly ready for sea; that our losses are not so great as were represented; that the Neapolitans left behind them 12 brass cannon, and several suits of regimentals; and the Spaniards 4,000 bombs, besides muskets, &c. The English fleet continues cruizing off the harbour.
By a letter from Rotterdam, dated January 31, 1794.
We are informed that the English, had captured and carried into Jersey, Two American vessels; Captain Maley, from Philadelphia, and Captain Barret from Boston, both of them bound to Amsterdam; and also that the French had captured an American vessel from Baltimore, bound to Amsterdam, among 52 English vessels.
Extract of a Letter from London, dated February 12.
“The merchants have applied for a convoy to be extended to American as well as British ships to and from America; Ministry are disposed to grant it, but require time to consider the propriety of the extension to your flag without an arrangement with your government; and Mr. Pinckney will probably be applied to on the subject.
Capt. Burr of the Schooner George, arrived here yesterday, in 26 days from St. Croix, informs us, that previous to his departure, Mr. John Dunlap, a resident of St. Croix, had arrived from Martinique, and informed, that Port Bourbon was stormed and carried by the British on Sunday, the 23rd of March, and that he was in the fort on the Monday following. Capt. Burr could not furnish any further particulars.
Philadelphia.
A Letter from an eminent merchant in Newport to a gentleman in this City, informs that General Rochambeau is arrived there from Martinique.
Yesterday the Legislature of this Commonwealth, adjourned without day.
Last evening Capt. Preston arrived in town with dispatches from Major General Wayne to the Secretary of War.
From Mr. Pitt, the British Ministers speech at opening the Budget or estimates of supplies of men and money for the service of the current year—it appears, that out of 85,000 seamen voted for the second year of the war, 75,000 of that number have been raised and mustered. The augmentation of the land forces amounts to 30,000 men—30,000 more are to be raised—the total vote makes the troops of that country, including fencibles and militia to amount to 140,000 men—the foreign troops in the British service amount to between 30 and 40 thousand. The whole force by land and sea, to be employed in the prosecution of the war amounts to 250,000 men—here follow the estimates.
   N A V Y.     General service of the navy, 4,420,000   Ordinaries, 558,000   Extraordinaries, 547,000   Total amount of the navy, 5,525,900

   WAYS AND MEANS.     Malt tax 2,750,000   Exchequer bills 3,500,000   Growing produce of taxes, after answering charges of consolidating fund 2,197,000   From the East India Company 500,000   Loan 11,000,000   19,947,000  
The produce of the taxes for the year, ending the 5th January, 1794, amounts to 13,941,000. this is something less than the produce of the year 1792, which was a year of extraordinary prosperity, and after a continuance of peace for nine years. But, for his calculation for the present year, Mr. Pitt takes as upon a former occasion, an average of four years, by which it appears that the amount of the taxes for the next year, or the growing produce of
   The Sinking Fund, amounts to 13,914,000   Charges on funded debt 11,391,000   Interest and charges, on the loan for Spanish armament 250,000   Taxes which were laid on account of this armament, and will soon expire 156,000   Tot. charge on consolidated fund 11,797,000  
   Which left the growing produce, from 5th April 1793, to 5th April 1794 2,197,000  
   He then proceeds to state the extraordinary expences of the present year above the peace establishment:   Excess in the navy 3,520,000   Ditto army 4,592,000   Ditto ordnance 170,000   Ditto miscellanies 970,000   Extraordinaries 2,000,000   11,252,000  
A correspondent recommends to the consideration of the advocates for Democratic Clubs, the following judicious observations of a writer in a late Baltimore paper, the Maryland Journal. Perhaps the writer of a piece signed “A Democrat,” may imbibe some
ideas from the perusal, that have hitherto been a stranger to his mind. “In a republic where men are alternately citizens and sovereigns, there is nothing more easy than to lead them into disorder, and nothing so uncommon as to see them, for any length of time, confine themselves to the exercise of their constitutional rights. Upon the least encouragement they are ready to overleap these prescribed bounds, and cast themselves into clubs, that they may exercise a kind of sovereignty over the sovereignty of their country. When a people suffer themselves to drink out of this intoxicating cup, the duty of obedience soon becomes a grievous burden, and the best of governments an intolerable evil: I consider the institution of political clubs, therefore, by whatever name they may be called, as the first stage of a revolution, and the revolution as completed in fact, though it may not in form, whenever the resolutions of clubs shall control the resolutions of government, or their secret combinations direct the choice of representatives. From that moment the republic has changed its nature and ceased to be free. But if clubs are the harbingers of anarchy in a good government, they are no less the forerunners of reform in a bad one: In both cases they act by destroying, and are as much to be dreaded in the one as encouraged in the other.
UNITED STATES.
STAUNTON, (Virg.) April 5. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Frederickburg, to his friend in this town, dated 31st ult. gives us the following information.
“Congress has laid an embargo on all vessels in our ports, which has reduced the price of produce to mere nothing; no man, will scarcely buy any thing at present. Goods in Philadelphia per yesterday's post, has advanced 50 per cent; and none to be got unless for ready money; this you may rest assured to be fact. War is the whole topic at this time—and 15,000 men are to be raised in 15 days to guard our sea ports. Bad times indeed! produce on hand and none to purchase—and goods twice their value—what will be the event God only knows.”

The Mary, Haley, had landed her letters at Falmouth early in January, but had not arrived at London on the 13th Feb. it was supposed she was carried into France, as six French frigates were known at that time to be cruising in the channel, had taken several American vessels and a large number of English vessels, particularly the Cork fleet. Lord Howe was making great preparations for another cruise.
The Columbus, Carman, from New-York, is arrived at London.

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage, to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured at a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking. The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage.

AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. 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.
