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 M'Neill, 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 printed 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.
At the time of their entering the vessel, there was a black man on board by the name of Balthazar, whom they carried off with them. John Dunham was mate of the vessel under Capt. M'Neill, prior to the sale of her, and the other persons were mariners. Dunham is a married man, and has a family at Nantucket.
The cargo of the vessel consisted of the following articles.—2 cases containing 74 pieces Linen; case Wine-Glasses; 1 bale containing 9 pieces Broadcloth; 1 do. 9 do. 79 pieces Cotton, (needle worked)—33 do. do. inferior, 2 mays of Salt; she had seven small arms and some pistols.

MR. FENNO, You are requested to publish the following in your paper.
A HINT.
Certain young Students of Law with their associates, who have of late frequented a neighbourhood in this city, and been guilty of conduct which reflects credit neither on themselves nor their connections, are cautioned to beware of a repetition of such conduct; for independent of the chastisement which will be the consequence, they may expect to see their names published in the newspapers.
TO THE OBSERVER.
I HAVE read with much satisfaction, your occasional remarks, on the merits and demerits of the Theatric Corps—to the former, you have rendered justice—the latter you have treated with tenderness—fairly avowing no partiality, to influence the public mind. A man who thus steps forward, with principles so independent, is secure in his own conscience, of having, with the best intentions done his duty, and sure of the suffrages of the public, who, while they approve, will second his endeavours. Upon these grounds, I contribute my mite, and only regret, that I am unwillingly constrained to think, that you, Mr. Observer, have somewhat relaxed in those duties, to the fulfilment of which, you engaged yourself. I am however, far from supposing, that you will not resume your pen, or that you have quitted the service you volunteered in, before the campaign is finished;—Persuaded, that your just criticisms must rather flatter than offend, and that every individual, under the Banners of the Sock & Buskin, feel themselves under obligations to the Observer, they have shown their gratitude, by amending that, which he has humbly recommended.
Pursuing my object thus far—I would now wish to hint to you Mr. Observer, whose prying eye, may not see all things, that you would notice, that want of demeanor exhibited by some, employed in the concerns of the Theatre:—Surely the ears of the audience ought not to be bedinned by the clattering of a Bamboo against the sides of one of the Boxes, during the performance of Miss Oldfield, in the character of Lady Frances Touchwood?—It is arrogating in a servant of the public, and offensive to all who admire order and decency:—Surely it is not come to this, that we are incapable of judging of excellences!—we can condemn, and we can applaud, but premature applause, always defeats the interested purpose it intends. Miss Oldfield made her Debut at Annapolis, in the character of Desdemona, and was deservedly admired as a young Candidate for public favor. Her first appearance here, was last night, and allowing for her natural timidity, great indulgence was shown her, and often much applauded. With a fine figure like hers, she is capable of great improvement—but recommend her to study a little more of the “Suaviter in Modo” graceful action, and graceful attitudes, compose more than half the difficulties of the stage.
I say nothing of the other performers, satisfying myself, that in your next paper, you will do them justice individually, and remain Mr. Observer,
THE BYSTANDER.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, January 22.
It is known to Government, that the French have coined five hundred thousand guineas, so exactly resembling the English guinea, that the counterfeit was not discovered at the mint till after two minute examinations. The defect is in a simple letter only. What the motives may be of our enemies for taking this measure, cannot, perhaps, at this moment be explained; but that it is sinister and ungenerous, cannot be doubted.

A private letter states the loss of the Alies , on the borders of the Rhine, within the last month, to amount to 35,000 men!—The loss of the French, which cannot be so correctly ascertained, is rated at 40,000.
The king's speech for continuing the war, had a very evident effect on our funds. Consols fell to 68 7-8ths.
PLYMOUTH DOCK, Jan. 16.
In consequence of an express arrived yesterday from his Majesty's ship Pegasus , of 28 guns, Capt. Barlowe, of their having seen five French frigates, and a cutter, to the eastward off the Start, which had taken several transports with provisions from Cork, the following ships got under way last night, and proceeded immediately to sea in search of them:

From the LONDON MORNING CHRONICLE , received by Capt. TRUXTON .
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 31.
Our Capital, amidst an external calm, exhibits all the symptoms of the most internal fermentation and public distrust; double patrols traverse the streets, the former orders against going out in the night without lanterns are renewed with great rigour, and the inhabitants have been directed, under the most severe penalties, to shut themselves up in their houses, the moment government shall think fit to give the signal, by firing five guns from the Citadel, and ringing the great alarm bell. Fortunately this has not been found necessary, the number of the conspirators being probably much less than was at first apprehended.
It cannot, however, be dissembled, that the spirit of civil discord has arisen to an alarming height, and that even the citizens of Stockholm, are divided into factions, inspired with the most bitter animosity one against another. This division was lately manifested on the dismissal of Nordin, from the office of Intendant of the Police, and the appointment of Ullholm by the Regent, to succeed him.—The partisans of Nordin, gave him a public dinner, as a mark of their esteem, upon which their opponents conferred the same honor on Ullholm—happily they confined themselves to good eating and drinking, without attempting to disturb one another, or the public peace.
Ullholm and one Bratt are said to have discovered the first traces of the conspiracy, which was afterwards confirmed by the opening of the Countess of Rudenskiold's letter to General Baron d'Armsfeldt in Italy. This lady, on the examination, denied all knowledge of a conspiracy; but afterwards, when informed that government was in possession of particulars, in consequence of which Lieut. Col. Sandols was apprehended, she made some confessions respecting her own part in it.
She, however, and all the other persons in custody, resolutely persist in refusing to give up their accomplices. D'Ehrenfrom, formerly Secretary to the late King, is considered as one of the principals of the conspiracy. Among his papers, have been found proofs of the utmost importance. The Commis. Seiguieur, who is also apprehended, was to assassinate the regent in one of those walks which he often takes, either alone, or with very few attendants. Mineur, valet-de-chambre of Baron d'Armsfeldt, whose apprehension was highly interesting is also taken.
On the first rumour of the conspiracy being discovered, he fled, as is supposed, to repair to his master; but, although he had forty eight hours start of his pursuers, they came up with him. A courier and an officer were dispatched to Italy, with proper instructions for apprehending d'Armsfeldt wherever they should find him. It was known that he was at Naples in November, but as his mission was only nominal, it is supposed that he has since come nearer Sweden, to watch the progress of a plot which if it had succeeded, would have put him at the head of the kingdom.
Such are the public rumours, which are to be received with caution; because, in all civil dissensions, it is the practice of each party to paint the other in the most odious colours.
PARIS, January 16.
The Representatives Chabot, Bazire, and Delaunay, are accused of corruption and have undergone an interrogatory. Fabre d'Eglantine has been put under arrest as one of their accomplices.
The number of persons apprehended at Paris, suspected of being the accomplices of Fabre d'Eglantine, is very considerable.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
January 22.
Barrere read the following letters,
"Fort Vauban, Jan. 18, the second year of the French Republic Democratic, one and indivisible.
Michaud, General in Chief of the army of the Rhine to the Minister of War.
"Citizen Minister,
"I date my letter from Fort Vauban. At the moment when we were actively preparing to subject it by force, the enemy abandoned it for fear; this happened last night. We have witnessed the explosions occasioned by the numerous mines which cowardice and rascality dug under this fort. Devoting ourselves to death, our Republicans rushed forward to snatch away the matches, which had not yet produced their effect. I aided in person with the brave Representative Lernann, and we had the satisfaction to find that the evil was not considerable. We shall soon have repaired this important post, into which I immediately sent a sufficient number of troops. Inform the National Convention of this delirium of the hirelings of despots. The brave army of the Rhine, no longer beholds slaves occupying the territories confided to its defence; the glory of crushing tyrants is reserved for the brave Sans-Culotes. Vive la Republic!
(Signed) "MICHAUD."
"Fort Vauban, Jan. 18, the second year of the French Republic, Democratic, one and indivisible.
"The Representative of the people with the armies of the Rhine and the Moselle, to the Members of the Committee of Public Safety, and the National Convention.
"Dear Friends,
"Prosperity to the Republic! Fort Vauban is evacuated without having cost us a man or a shot. We write to the National Convention, and citizen Hondelet, Adjutant-General, a man of uncommon merit, will tell you the rest. We promised rewards to all who should seize the matches which were every where strewed for the purpose of more explosions. The bridges are in part burnt, and we are this instant throwing others over those arms of the Rhine, which secure our position with the Isles of Halmut, Stalmatt, and others. We take similar precautions in similar cases; nor will we willingly risk the lives of our brothers, though the enemy has fled, for the fire is scattered too widely not to make us stand in fear of new disasters.
"Pichegru is gone, and has an excellent successor in Michaud, his friend, my friend, and the Friend of the Republic.
"We yesterday saw Hoche at the rendezvous at Weissembourg. We have taken provisional measures, which have been concerted between the two Generals in chief. Of these the bearer of this letter will give you an account. Send us your orders: The evacuation of Fort Vauban will doubtless occasion a change of plan. Write to me by the return of the said Adjutant-General. Once more, prosperity to the Republic! I embrace you most cordially—and remain, everlastingly, your friend.
(Signed)
"LERNANN."

BREST, Jan. 13.
The day before yesterday, we celebrated the Festival of Reason—The statues of St. Louis and Charlemagne, were taken from the church of the ci-devant St. Louis, and burnt.
Not a day passes without some prize taken from the enemy being brought in. Yesterday there arrived, one loaded with canvas, another with flour, and the third with provisions. Government bought all the commodities at the regulated price, and they are retailed at the same price to the people.
Preparations are incessantly making, which seem to indicate a descent upon England.
Port of the Mountain, (Toulon) Jan. 13.
The executions still continue. All the men who were guilty have paid the forfeit of their crimes. The turn of the women comes next,
who certainly contributed much to delivering up Toulon to the English.
Yesterday fifteen were shot, and we are assured, that two hundred will undergo the same punishment.
The squadron of the enemy seem at length to have abandoned our coast. Only five English ships remain at anchor in the Bay of Hieres, where they have landed the sick: as soon as these shall have been a little recovered, they will sail.
January 15.
We are here actively at work, caulking and arming those vessels which remain in the port. The Representatives of the People have just put all the carpenters and caulkers in a state of requisition, and a great number are now at work. Five vessels are ready for sea, and we shall soon have a squadron in the Mediterranean, sufficient to sweep that sea of all the enemy's ships, which may there remain.
Army of the Rhine.
Haguenau, Jan. 18.
The army of the Rhine, with all its artillery, is returned to Haguenau, and has been replaced in the Palatinate by the army of the Moselle. The rumor of an incursion into the Brisgau continues to prevail.
Pichegru goes to replace General Jourdain, with the army of the North, bearing with him our regret and our esteem.
PARIS, January 21.
All the armed sections of Paris, are at this moment assembled at the Place de la Revolution, there where the last King of the French died on the scaffold, to vow the destruction of tyrants, renew their oath to live free or die, and exhibit the sacred cause of liberty and equality triumphant. Were those who still cherish the frantic and culpable hope of reviving tyranny, but to witness this sublime spectacle; were they but to behold the heroic enthusiasm which animates all France, they would no longer dare the combat, would no more endeavor to rivet their own fetters; they would then be convinced of the utter impossibility of subduing such a people.
The number of prisoners in Paris on the 23d, was 5,202.
BRUSSELS, January 20.
Among the reinforcements received by General Jourdain's army last week, besides 18,000 troops of the line, are four regiments of Chasseurs, and six battalions raised by requisition in Picardy, consisting of 800 men each. Of the men brought from the department of Calvados, 180 deserted, and arrived here on Saturday last: they were formerly persons of distinction, and took arms only for the purpose of making their escape from France. They say that twenty-four battalions of 800 men each, were raised by requisition in Picardy; that they are in general badly disciplined and badly clothed, but well paid and well fed; that they choose all their own officers by a majority of votes; that Jourdain's army is to be augmented to 150,000 men by the middle of February; and that the invasion of the Austrian Netherlands is to be attempted.
The action, which took place on Wednesday last seems to have been very bloody. On Saturday 350 French, wounded and prisoners arrived here, and twenty-eight wagon-loads of Austrians wounded.
On the 16th, a body of 8000 men of Prince Cobourg's army passed the Sambre near Marolles, and attacked the French in their entrenchments, which were carried by assault. The enemy had 700 men killed and 500 taken prisoners. They lost seven pieces of cannon, and were pursued to Landrecy. The Austrians had 700 men killed and wounded. This victory is attributed to the skill of Colonel Maek, who is again returned to the army.
The French, in their turn, attacked our posts near Templeuve, but were repulsed—with great loss, however, on our side.
Field Marshal Lacey is expected here next week.
On Saturday a corps of 400 Hulan, consisting of English and Germans, raised for the service of his Britannic Majesty, passed through this city for Tourney.
It is expected here, that General Wurmsfer is removed from his command, and ordered to Vienna to answer for his conduct before the council of war.
January 24.
The arrival of Colonel Maek at the army, and the victory of the 16th, would have quieted our alarms with respect to an invasion; but unfortunately the movements of the Prince of Sax-Cobourg have revived our fears. The heavy artillery has been sent from the frontiers towards Holland. It passed through the city in carriages covered with hay. The artillery of the Hanoverians, with 150 waggons loaded with bullets and bombs, took the same road. A deserter from Paris, confirms the reports of former deserters, that General Jourdain waits only for reinforcements of cavalry from La Vendee and the army of the Moselle, to attack all the posts of the Combined Army at once. He adds, that a corps of 6000 men, consisting of fugi-
tives from Holland, Liege and the Austrian Netherlands had joined Jourdain's army, and demanded to lead the column that is to march to Brussels."
LONDON, January 23.
By a letter from Brussels, we find that last week Jourdain's army received a reinforcement of 28,000 troops of the line from Vendee—that 12,000 more with an immense train of artillery, were to join him in the course of the week, and that he was evidently preparing for the attack of Cobourg en masse .
January 31.
It is said that the Duke of Northumberland charged at the head of the Portuguese army in the late victory obtained over the French. He suffered however from the pride of Aristocracy; for he could not be invested with the chief command, for want of blood Royal in his veins.
Yesterday Messrs. Wiffin, Sylvester, and Hunter, three messengers arrived at the Secretary of State's of Office, with letters from the Duke of York, at Ghent.
By our French papers down to the 24th inst. our readers will see that there are no important accounts from the Continent. The armies on the frontier are daily receiving reinforcements, and threaten a formidable attack on the prince of Cobourg, but the plan of the attack is not yet so clearly developed as to enable us to speak with certainty of their operations.
The evacuation of Fort Louis is the natural result of the former successes of the French, and shews the utter breaking up of the combined armies of the Rhine.
By a letter from Dover, dated yesterday morning, we are informed that General O'Hara and two other British officers, accompanied by a M. Dupré, had landed there, and had immediately proceeded to London. We know nothing of the truth of this fact; it is communicated to us by a person resident at Dover, but who is not our regular correspondent.
Considerations on the Loan.
It is well known that the French are preparing to attack the extensive line of posts of Cobourg en masse , as they lately did those of Brunswick and Wurmsfer; if they wait until the greatest part of the troops from La Vendee, join Jourdain by regular marches; the attack may begin about the 10th of February; but if these troops are conveyed by post, (as has frequently been done,) or if they do not wait for them, the attack may begin earlier. It is said that this attack will be made by the combined armies of Hoche and Jourdain, assisted by all the troops of the first requisition, within one hundred miles of the frontier; the attack will extend from the Rhine along the Moselle to Treves, and from thence along the Austrian frontier to Nieuport, a distance of at least 300 miles. Cobourg has not at this time more effective men to defend this very extensive line, than Brunswick and Wurmsfer had in the beginning of November, to defend a line of only thirty miles in length, whilst Cobourg will be attacked by forces three times as numerous as those that defeated Brunswick and Wurmsfer. If the French should be so bold in this attempt, they may lose twenty or thirty thousand men or more, they will retire again behind their fortresses, were Cobourg cannot attack them, until he has taken all those fortresses, which will require many years of uninterrupted success; (Marlborough had not completely opened the frontiers in ten years ) such an event will therefore tend to prolong the war, and should rather depress our funds below, than raise them above, their present price.
But it is not easy to conceive how Cobourg can prevent such numerous forces, animated by their late successes, from penetrating into some part of so extensive a line, and if any important post is taken, the adjacent posts must immediately fall back, lest their retreat should be cut off; and as the Emperor Joseph destroyed all the fortresses in the Netherlands, except Luxembourg and the Citadel of Antwerp, it is highly probable, that before the middle of March, Cobourg may be forced to abandon the Austrian Netherlands, and to retire for safety behind the Dutch fortresses. It is difficult to conceive the effect that such a disaster would have on our funds, at a time when the market is loaded with at least seventeen millions of Scrip, concentrated in a few hands, many of them unable to make a second payment, and all of them eager to sell. Should the Bank at such a crisis refuse to lend money on the Scrip, (as they once did in the last war) the depression of the funds would be great indeed! and if the Bank lend their assist-

to the holders of scrip, they must in the same proportion withdraw it from our distressed commerce. In such a situation there will be only one consolation left: Cobourg's army having retired behind the Dutch fortresses for safety, may contribute to the defence of that country; this will give us time to reflect; the eyes of this nation may at last be opened, they will then perceive the danger into which they have been led by his Majesty's ministers, and compel them to relinquish a situation for which they have proved themselves so totally unfit. Peace may then be made, for peace only can raise our funds, or revive our drooping commerce. Peace only can save this country from ruin.

PHILADELPHIA,
APRIL 21.
The Delaware, Captain Truxton arrived yesterday in the river from London, which he left on the last of January and Deal ten days after. By this arrival we collect the following particulars:
Important dispatches are received from Mr. Pinckney to our government.
French affairs, appear to be in a most prosperous train. The Duke of Brunswick has resigned, the Duke of York returned to England. A passenger on board the Delaware, assures us, that he had a conversation with Colonel Fox, three days before his departure, who had just arrived from the camp of the allies, and gave it as his opinion, that Cobourg could not maintain his ground against the superior forces commanded by Jourdan.
Serious fears were entertained in England of an invasion of the Carmagnoles, who were, under the direction of d'Arcon constructing a fleet of gun boats, intended to fire hot-shot only and so built as, by the means of hides, to protect the invaders from the effect of musketry.
Admiral McBride was yet in the channel waiting for a wind.
Lord Cornwallis had arrived from India. A body of Hessian Troops have landed in England. The supply bill provides, that 85,000 seamen be granted for the year 1794, including 12,115 marines. Thirteen millions are also voted for the services of the current year.—A bill was brought into parliament January 28, for continuing the law now in force, for regulating the trade, between England & the United States. Mr. Wilberforce has again brought forward his motion for abolishing the Slave trade.
ABSTRACT of EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, from the London Morning Chronicle, of the 29th, 30th, & 31st January last.
In the French National Convention, January 17, it was decreed that the linen of the suppressed Churches, should be applied to the use of the military Hospitals. A letter was read in Convention, the 18th from Cherburgh, which informed that fifty two sail of prizes; all richly laden, had arrived in the road; a Convoy captured from the English—In the same sitting, ten million livres was voted for the relief of the families of the National Soldiers.
Bavere on the 21st Jan. announced to
the Convention that Fort Louis, now named Fort Vauban was in the hands of the Republicans. He concluded his speech on that occasion with the following words: "Let our popular societies seize every means of developing the crimes of the British Government, and of proving that its Minister has familiarized national despotism, and in a pompous manner has substantiated the Royal Tyranny—It is the form of this government, that you ought to destroy!"
According to the India papers, received by Captain Ashmead, the French Cruizers in the Indian Seas, have been very successful—they have taken a Dutch East Indiaman, worth 100,000 pounds sterling; also a valuable Dutch Brig—an English ship, the Recovery, Captain Greenway, ransomed for 30,000 dollars, and the Canton, a ship belonging to this port, some of the crew, having informed the Captain of one of the Privateers, that there was a large quantity of English property on board.—It is supposed some of these prizes were carried to the Mauritius, which the India papers say, is the only spot held by the French in Asia.
The brig Fair American, Capt. Angus, left Antigua on the 24th ult. and informs, that immediately on the arrival of the second orders from England, a stop was put to the condemnation of American vessels and their cargoes; that the said orders arrived there on the 13th March, and at the moment they arrived the schooner William Lindlay, of Norfolk, Williams, master, was on trial, and that the Judge was then making up his mind, when the orders came into court and were read. He then adjourned the court, and the schooner was afterwards cleared, with several others that had been libelled, amongst which was the brig Yorick, Capt. M'Allister, of this port. That the schooner Eliza, privateer, was hauled up and sold, with some others laying in the harbour of St. John's. That the brig Nancy, William Illy, master, was condemned after the second orders arrived, for having naval stores on board, and that the schooner La Fayette, Joseph Wyatt, master, of Wilmington, N.C. it was thought, would share the same fate, being in the same predicament with the Nancy.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, April 20.
From a Correspondent.
A gentleman just arrived from Newport, Rhode-Island informs, that on Tuesday evening arrived there from Martinique, an English transport, having on board general the Count Rochambeau, with his Suite, consisting of 8 officers. The transport was convoyed by the Vesusius bombard, which left Newport the next morning. By the Captain of the transport we learn, that Fort Royal, Martinique, was attacked and carried on the 21st. and that Fort Bourbon capitulated on the 23rd of March. In the Fort were 150 regular troops, and about 800 mulattoes. It was stipulated that the General and his Suite should be sent to America, and the troops to France.
The above Captain says, that Fort Bourbon surrendered in consequence of the English having discovered and destroyed the pipes by which they received their water in the garrison.
It was reported before the above vessels failed that a French fleet and troops had arrived somewhere in the West-Indies—and that the English were at present ill-manned, owing to their having garrisoned the forts they had taken with the sailors.
By the vessel arrived from Shelburne about two days ago—we learn that the February mail from England was arrived at Halifax: the letters brought by her may be daily expected.
The Comte de Rochambeau is expected in this City on his way to Philadelphia. The Vesusius sloop of war, we are told, is returned to the West-Indies, and the Britania transport which brought his Suite from Martinique, is still at Newport. Gen. Grey's army is gone against the island of Guadaloupe.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Ambuscade, dated Chesapeake Bay, April 5, 2d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
"We have made two cruises, but with little success, having taken only 3 prizes 2 of them English and the other Spanish; we expect with impatience the New-York convoy, and have orders to hold ourselves in readiness to sail immediately on their arrival."
"We have found many friends in the brave Americans of New-York. Those of Norfolk and Hampton, have shown us an attention no less flattering. We cannot quit the American shore without some regret, but shall have the pleasing satisfaction on our arrival in France, of informing our countrymen of the friendly conduct of the Americans towards us."
"The late Triumphs of Liberty, however, will make our return doubly agreeable."
"The Frigate La Concorde, and a Corvette, remain on this station."
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
YOUR correspondent of Saturday, L. E. in language of triumph and abuse, stigmatizes Democratic Societies, as conspirators against equality, because they are designed to acquire influence.
The disguise is too thin, to conceal a cloven foot. The influence he opposes, is the influence of reason, and the equality he contends for, is an equality in ignorance. The human mind, in proportion as it excludes this species of influence, is fitted to bear the frauds, as the body is to bear the burthens, of those privileged orders, who teach ignorance, and who yet extort for their tuition, an extravagant compensation.
L. E. allows to a citizen, the occasional equality of a solitary vote, but if three citizens assemble to confer upon public affairs, he exclaims in all the rage of aristocratical pride—"You are a club of conspirators—mind your own business"—Shoemaker to your last.
This doctrine proposes a crusade in favor of a political papacy, for the extermination of all writings and opinions, violating the jure divino pretensions of the powers that be. It may be thus epitomized.
"Several citizens must not confer and deliberate upon public affairs, lest their deliberations should influence one citizen. Without conferences public affairs cannot be understood, and if several citizens cannot publish their political opinions, without being chargeable with the insolent intention of influencing others, a portion, a single citizen cannot do it. It would evince a monarchical design in the one, as it is a proof of aristocracy in the many. All men have minds, but all men are not equally informed; and any attempt of those informed (the well born or paper men always excepted) to instruct the uninformed, is an insolent claim of superiority." Therefore the right of thinking, and the right of voting, are all the rights which equally allows, in the opinion of this aristocratical champion. According to him, the art of printing, and the law to secure to authors their own works, are emblems of slavery, because they imply, that one human being may impudently attempt to inform others.
Indeed Mr. Fenno, the reservoir of aristocratical deception is, almost exhausted, for this last portion, appears so evidently to be intermingled with the lees, that the good taste of the people of America (tho' it is unjustly insinuated that they are somewhat base and ignorant) will at once perceive its poisonous quality.
A DEMOCRAT.
A letter from Havre of the 24th Jan. to a gentleman in this city, informs, that the National Convention has decreed the release of the American shipping—but whether they will be permitted to depart, loaded, or not, the letter does not say.
A paper of the 10th February, received by Capt. Truxton, contains the British Minister's budget and speech—from which it appears that the war against France is to be prosecuted with all the resources of Great Britain. The Minister says they fight pro aris et focis—for their Altars and Fire Sides.
From several respectable quarters we are informed that the dispatches from the American Minister at the Court of London just received, do not as has been published, show that the British administration are unfavorably inclined to the United States.
The Minister plenipotentiary of the French Republic, has not received any official account of the recapture of Valenciennes. A report of that event was brought by the vessel arrived at Norfolk, from Rochfort—the printed accounts from France, by this vessel, are to the 11th of February, at which time, General Jourdan was preparing to make an assault on Prince Saxe Cobourg, with an army of 150,000 men.

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. waitf

Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem aferendum. 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.

Benjamin Gaither
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 Rape the bond executed by the said Benjamin for the conveyance of the said land: The Complainant now further states (and 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 Gazette 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.
