For the GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. PHOCION—No. XXV. [Concluded from yesterday's Gazette] THE pendulum is, however, admitted by Mr. Jefferson to be liable to uncertainties, for which he offers no remedies: How does it appear that these uncertainties are not more important than the causes of errors, to which his attention has been directed?
3d. "Machinery, says the report, p. 8, and a power are necessary, which may exert a small, but constant effort to renew the waste of motion, but so that they shall neither retard nor accelerate the vibrations." But it adds in the next page—"To estimate and obviate this difficulty is the artist's province." What is this, but to say that the standard of the United States shall be the pendulum of some clock, made by Mr. Leslie, or some other artist, thus discarding at once all reliance upon the principles before advanced? The difficulty of ascertaining the center of oscillation, (which he admits to be impossible, unless in a rod, of which the diameter is "infinitely small.") he thinks however can be obviated by Mr. Leslie, the watch-maker. Mr. Jefferson then proceeds to apply his standard.
1st. To measures of capacity. These he proposes should be furnished with rectangular sides and bottom, for which he gives the following reason:—Cylindrical measures have the advantage of superior strength; but square ones have the greater advantage of enabling every one, who has a rule in his pocket, to verify their contents, by measuring them." Did it not occur to this profound mathematician, that a man, with a rule in his pocket, could, as easily measure the diameter and depth of a cylindrical half-hushel as the sides and depth of a square box?
2d. To weights. The standard of weights is proposed to be a definite portion of rain-water, weighed always in the same temperature. "It will be necessary, says he, to refer these weights to a determinate mass of some substance, the specific gravity of which is invariable: rain-water is such a substance, and may be referred to every where, and through all time." But the temperature is not defined; rain water is varied by several causes; dust, insects, &c. will create a difference in its weight. The French, in their late plan, have outdone Mr. Jefferson; their standard is distilled water, ascertained by a defined temperature.
3d. To coins. The report proposed to change the value of the dollar, or rather to coin the dollars of the United States of a different value from the current dollars. The effect of this system to which he could not have adverted, would be to make the debtors throughout the United States pay more for all existing engagements than they had contracted to pay, for be proposed to make an addition of five grains of silver to the proper weight of the dollar, without a proportional augmentation of its legal value. The inconveniences of this plan were afterwards judiciously pointed out in the report on the mint by the late secretary of the treasury, whose system was preferred and adopted by congress.
Notwithstanding the numerous defects and errors in Mr. Jefferson's report, he seems to have been very liberal in his extracts from pre-existing works. Almost the whole of that part of the report, which relates to measures, is evidently copied from reports of committees of the house of commons, which were made in the years 1758 and 1759, which committees he states to have been assisted by able mathematicians and artists: he subjoins, "that the circumstances under which these reports were made, entitle them to be considered, as far as they go, as the best written testimony of the standard weights and measures existing in England, and as such would be relied on by him."
After making such free use of these reports, and stating all the varieties of measures in England, he candidly confesses, "that he is not informed whether there have been any and what alterations of these measures, by the laws of our states." Now, this was certainly a very essential part of his duty; if, instead of either hurrying his report, to make a display of prodigious industry and wonderful intuition, or devoting his time to visionary speculations, or to the altering and reforming of all his calculations, to adapt them to the French project, he had sought for the laws of the American states, relative to the subject, he might have obtained much useful information, on which congress would have been enabled to act; whereas, his report contained so little that was of any real utility, that congress, at the distance of six years, have not derived the smallest advantage from his labours. It is the more surprising that he should have neglected this essential duty, because, on another occasion, when anxious to vindicate some of the states from the reproach of having violated the treaty with Great Britain, he was very diligent in procuring every state law, record of court, and document which might tend to support his favorite doctrine.
We shall now take leave of Mr. Jefferson and his pretensions, as a philosopher and politician. The candid and unprejudiced, who have read with attention the foregoing comments on his philosophical and political works, and on his public conduct, must now be convinced, however they may have hitherto been deceived by a plausible appearance, and specious talents, or misled by designing partisans, that the reputation he has acquired, has not been bottomed on solid merit; that his abilities have been more directed to the acquirement of literary fame, than to the substantial good of his country; that his philosophical opinions have been wavering and captious, often warped by the most frivolous circumstances; that in his political conduct he has been timid, inconsistent and unsteady, favouring measures of a fadious and disorganizing tendency; always leaning to those which would establish his popularity, however destructive of our peace and tranquility; that his political principles are sometimes whimsical and visionary, at others, subversive of all regular and stable government; that his writings have betrayed a disrelish for religion, and his partiality for the impious Paine, an enemy to christianity; that his advice, respecting the Dutch company, and his open countenance of an incendiary printer, and of the views of a faction,
manifest a want of due regard for national faith and public credit; that his abhorrence of one foreign nation, and enthusiastic devotion to another, have extinguished in him every germ of real national character; and, in short, that his elevation to the Presidency, must eventuate either in the debasement of the American name, by a whimsical, inconsistent and feeble administration, or in the prostration of the United States at the feet of France, the subversion of our excellent constitution, and the consequent destruction of our present prosperity.

COLOGNE, October 3.
The following are the conditions of neutrality concluded at Newwied on the 30th ult. between the French and Austrian Generals.
 1. The city of Newwied, the castle and its appurtenances, cannot be occupied by any troops, either French or Austrian.  2. The advanced posts of the respective corps shall be removed from each other one hundred and fifty paces, viz. The French to count from the last house on the right side of the city; and the Austrians from the last house to the left of the city and from the fence of the Court Garden.  3. In virtue of the present treaty, the French troops shall not attack the city, nor the Austrian generals construct offensive or defensive works, which may damage the bridge on the Rhine.  4. There shall be a French and an Austrian officer established in the city, charged to answer for the infringement of this article.  5. The line of centres in the plain, will be ruled according to military law, and in a manner compatible with the position of the two corps of troops.  6. All the fortification works constructed in the city, shall be razed under the inspection of the magistrate.  7. To avoid all species of misunderstanding, it is mutually agreed, that no soldiers, either French or Austrian, shall enter into the city, without an express permission from his chief. The established officers at Newwied will take care to have this article executed. A duplicate of the present treaty has been delivered to the magistrate of Newwied. 
PARIS, October 10.
The Dunkirk floating battery has perished in the harbour by the explosion of the powder on board. A single man, out of fifty nine who composed the crew has alone been saved.
October 12.
Peace is made with the King of Naples. The treaty was signed the day before yesterday. It resembles not that concluded with the King of Sardinia. The King of Naples is not to make any cession of territory. He agrees only to allow certain commercial advantages; he excludes the English from his ports until a peace, and promises reparation for the outrages committed in 1792, against our ambassador at Naples.
To this treaty was joined a message by which the Directory ask for new funds in support of the war. They announce some hopes of peace; that negotiations with England will be opened; that the Cabinet of St. James mean to send an agent; but that he is not yet arrived. They mention the necessity of shewing a resolution to carry on the war with vigour, if the obstinacy of our enemies render it necessary, in order to insure the acceptance of just and reasonable conditions of peace.
At one o'clock this morning, the Military Commission sentenced to death, Huguet, Javoguer, Cusset, Babi, ex-conventionalists; Gagnant, painter, native of Paris; Bertrand, ex-Mayor of Lyons; Bonbon, a shoe-maker, native of Orleans; Pitoy, joier, native of Champlitte; Lafond, shoemaker, native of Montrichon.
Several others were sentenced to imprisonment for different periods, and some liberated.
Prince Henry of Prussia has published and dedicated to the French Republic a pollhonomous work for Diderot. He has been received a member of our national institute.

Infirmities, caused by the multiplied fatigues of the war, have obliged me to solicit my retreat.—Accustomed to regard you as my children, you may judge of the regret which I feel in separating from you. You have been night and day the object of my solicititudes. Though absent, you will still be so. My foul, my heart will follow you every where. One thing alone alleviates my sorrow on quitting you; it is that I leave you in the hands of an experienced officer, whose virtues and whole talents presage the most happy success. General Bournonville takes the provisional command of the army, seconded by the brave Generals by whom you have been so often conducted to victory. I shall learn with infinite pleasure, in my retreat, your glorious exploits. Preserve your esteem and friendship for me; I trust I merit them both; and pity me that I am obliged to be separated from you. JOURDAN.

Head-Quarters, Mulheim, 8 Vendemaire, (Sept. 30.)
The division (lately Marceau's) provisionally commanded by the general of brigade Hardy, was attacked the day before yesterday by three columns of the enemy. One of the columns passed the Selz at Stelingen-Loch, and posted itself on the Plateau of Wurtt; the second posted itself on Niderhulm, and the third on Oberenider. The enemy has been repulsed every where. One squa-
dron of the 2d regiment of hussars, the 11th regiment of chasseurs, and the 6th of cavalry, distinguished themselves on the right by four charges, which forced the enemy to repass the Selz. They have lost many men, and we have made 60 prisoners in this attack. Capt. Verneret did wonders with two pieces of light artillery against eight pieces of the enemy, two of which he dismounted.—The 31st division of the Gendarmerie conducted themselves well in the centre; and the 108th Grenadiers, the 5th demi-brigades, and the 9th light infantry did prodigies on the left. The enemy being harboured in the village of Nidder-Lagelheim we have been obliged to let fire to it to dislodge them. The combat commenced at five o'clock in the morning, and did not end till the same hour in the evening. It was a warm one.
Yesterday evening about 5 o'clock the enemy presented themselves to the grand guard of the division of General Lefebvre, and to the division of Championet, and a cannonade took place. The enemy had 1200 horse, two battalions and 6 pieces of cannon. They had several wounded, 2 officers killed, and several prisoners. I suppose that they have taken this measure in order to discover a movement which I made at that moment.
BOURNONVILLE.
Head-Quarters at Buchon, the 10th Vendemaire, (October 2.) The general in chief of the army of the Rhine and Moselle, to the executive directory.
Citizens directors, You have no doubt received general Moulin's account of the attack of Kehl, and of the check which the enemy received. I had sent some troops of the army to him, but they arrived too late by some days for that affair. I have not yet received the details. Nearly all our couriers are intercepted, either by the peasants or by the enemy's police. General Scherb, whom I ordered to retreat from Bruchsal to Kehl at the approach of the enemy, did it a little too late, as he found the enemy established behind him in three or four places; but he manoeuvred with ability, and the bravery of the 68th demi-brigade and of the 19th regiment of dragoons, freed him from all obstacles. The passage was opened by the point of the bayonet, and then a small body of troops arrived at its destination, with all its equipment, its wounded, and more than one hundred prisoners. This conduct merits the highest eulogies. Since this, I have learnt from the affair of Kehl, that this 68th demi-brigade was a principal means of preserving that important post.
I have received no news from either the army of the Sambre and Meuse, or from Strasbourg. This is extraordinary, though I hear by the German papers and private letters, that general Jourdan has been forced to repass the Rhine, and to retire behind the Sieg.
At this moment, the enemy has made an attack at the abbaye de Schaussfeld; general Dufay is at an equal distance between the Foderke and the Danube. As my letter will not be sent till to-morrow, I shall give you the details.
Vendemaire 11th. After a brisk engagement, the enemy has been repulsed at all points, with great loss. We have made about 300 prisoners on the left, amongst which are five officers. As the enemy are not far from us, I shall attack them to-morrow, and this is the more important, as I learn that the corps of general Nauendorf, about 7 or 8000 men strong, marches on Fubingen.
Health and respect,
MOREAU.
Extract of a letter from citizen Hausmann, commissary from government with the army of the Rhine and Moselle, to the executive directory.
Citizen director, I wrote you yesterday by the ordinary courier, that of the army has arrived, and has brought me two letters, dated from the head-quarters at Saulgeng, the 12th and 13th. They announce, that the Austrians had been completely beaten, on the 10th and 12th, in the environs of Buchan. Two columns, 6 cannon, 3000 prisoners, amongst whom are fifty six officers, were already at head-quarters; 2000 other prisoners were expected in the course of the day. I have thought my duty to make you acquainted with this news by an extraordinary courier. The prisoners report, that the emperor has no more forces in the interior of Austria, and that he has sent to the army all the troops which he had in reserve or in the garrisons.
HAUSSMANN.
ARMISTICE.
Concluded with his serene highness the elector palatine of Bavaria.
The general in chief of the army of the Rhine and Moselle, desiring to accede to the pacific intentions of his serene highness the elector palatine of Bavaria, grants him, for the duchy of Bavaria, the high palatinate, the county of Neubourg, the part of palatinate of the Rhine, and the part of the duchy of Berg, on the right bank of that river, the bishoprics of Freising, of Ratisbon (the city not included) Passau, the provostship of Bercholdsgaden, the chapters of Ober and Nider Munster, St. Emerand, and the county of Ortenbourg, a suspension of arms.
And the following are the principal conditions. 1. The elector of Bavaria shall withdraw immediately, from the coalesced armies, all the troops which he is to furnish as his contingent. They shall continue in arms, and he shall have the disposal of his army as he shall judge fit, for the interior police of the country.
2. The French troops shall always have a free passage through the country of the elector of Bavaria; those who, by the chance of war, may have occasion to march through the above countries, shall be quartered upon the inhabitants, or lodged in barracks, according to circumstances, but without giving to the landholders, or other proprietors, any right to indemnify for the camps or other field establishments, which the military operations may require.
3. The general in chief will be particularly careful, that persons and property shall be respected by the troops, which the chance of war may force to pass through the electorate of Bavaria. He will be careful to avoid, as much as possible, in such passes, the city of Munich, and other electorates residences.

4. The elector of Bavaria shall pay into the hands of the paymaster of the army of the Rhine and Moselle, ten millions of livres, in French or German specie, at French currency, or in bills of exchange, or in bullion.
5. The elector of Bavaria shall furnish 300 saddle horses, 600 cavalry horses, 900 dragoon horses, and 1500 artillery horses.
6. The elector of Bavaria shall furnish, within six weeks, 200,000 quintals of grain, two-thirds of which shall be wheat, and one third rye; 100,000 quintals of oats; 200,000 quintals of hay; and he shall furnish besides 100,000 pairs of shoes, and 10,000 pairs of boots; or, otherwise, 30,000 ells of officer's cloth.
7. In case that the operations of the war shall remove the army from Bavaria, and that the contributions in kind shall be deemed unnecessary, it shall be in the power of the French to demand a proportionable sum in specie.
8. It shall be permitted to such French artists as the government shall appoint, to choose out of the galleries of Munich and Dusseldorf, twenty pictures, which shall be delivered to the French government accordingly.
9. His serene highness shall forthwith send to Paris, to the Directory, a plenipotentiary to negotiate a separate peace with the French republic.

ARMY OF ITALY.
Extract of a letter from general Buonaparte, commander in chief of the army of Italy, to the executive directory.
Head-quarters at Milan, the 10th Vendemaire (Oct. 1) 5th year.
After the battle of St. George we tried to draw Wurmser into a second engagement, in order to weaken his garrison by frequent engagements outside of the walls; we therefore took good care not to occupy the Staglio, in hopes that he would draw up on the same. We continued only to occupy the bridge of Governolo in order to facilitate the passage of the Mincio.
On the 4th supplementary day the enemy went with 1,500 men, cavalry, to Carteluccio. Our pickets fell back as they had been ordered. The enemy went no farther: the 2d Vendemaire they marched towards Governolo, following the right bank of the Mincio; after a very lively canonade, and several charges by our infantry, they were routed, and had eleven hundred taken prisoners, five cannon with caissons completely fixed.
General Kilmaine, to whom I had given the command of the two divisions which besiege Mantua, remained in the same position until the 8th, hoping that the enemy, from a desire to obtain forage, would attempt a sally; but the enemy had encamped at the Chartreuse before the gate of Pradella and at the Chapel before the gate of Crenell. General Kilmaine made his dispositions, and attacked the two camps in different points, which the enemy evacuated at his approach, after a slight fire of musketry of the rear guard.
The out posts of general Vaubois have encountered the Austrian division which is to defend Tyrol, and has taken 110 prisoners of the enemy. BUONAPARTE.

PARIS, October 14.
Can it be true that the executive directory should have resolved to address the following question to the envoy of Great Britain: "Will England easily and immediately treat for a separate peace with us?" And that, if the question is answered in the negative, it will be notified to the envoy, that the negotiation is at an end.
Report says, that the resolution exists. We think it our duty to conjure our readers, not to place any confidence in such reports. Indeed, would such a resolution not amount to the same thing as a second declaration of war.
ARMY OF ITALY.
Extract of a letter from general Angereau, of the second complementary day, Sept. 18.
All the Austrians who at this moment combat in Italy, are shut up in Mantua, with Wurmser their general. How he will subsist there I know not, with 20,000 men, 4,000 of whom are cavalry. Our loss has been far from considerable in the late battles.
Our army blocks up Mantua. Gen. Vaubois is advanced beyond Trent, to keep in check the enemy who may remain in the German part of Tyrol, and to secure the communication which is to be effected with this army and that of Moreau. Reinforcements are daily arriving, which will enable us to send a column to Triest and even against Rome and Naples, if necessary, since the sovereigns of the two latter countries are of bad faith. (La Sentinelle.)
BRUSSELS, October 7.
Whilst the Austrians were attacking the retreating of Neuwied, the archduke Charles at the head of 15,000 men, endeavoured by forced marches, to gain the rear of Moreau's army, in order to connect with the generals Latour, Nauendorf and Petrasch, new plans of attack against the army of the Rhine and Moselle. He sent a corps of 10,000 men, united with the garrison of Mentz, towards the Hundsruck. The remainder of his army, consisting of 20,000 men, is encamped at Ukeroth, & several squadrons of cavalry, supported by infantry, hover about in the vicinity of the Sieg, where all is quiet at present. When the archduke set off, he gave the command of the army of the Lower Rhine to general Werneck.
Order and discipline begin to revive in the army of the Sambre and Meuse. Confidence is restored among the troops; and we believe that the army of the Sambre and Meuse, reinforced by the 7th division of the army of the North, consisting of 15,000 men, will soon act offensively and with success.
However, desertion has not entirely ceased yet, and many of the fugitives who endeavour to reach the interior of the republic, continue to pass by
Luxembourg and the Ardennes. General Bonnaire has issued severe orders to arrest and conduct them to their respective regiments.
Precise orders have been given in this city, to stop and visit all the coaches and equipages coming from the army of the Sambre and Meuse. It is known that some honorable commissaries endeavour to fend home the fruits of their robberies and pillage. Considerable sums in specie, flowing from that source, have already been seized.
PLYMOUTH, September 25.
This day, during divine service at Charles's church of which the Rev. Dr. Hawker is Vicar, Capt. I. Pelew, and the small remnant of his gallant crew, returned thanks to Almighty God for their miraculous escape from the jaws of death, on the blowing up of his Majesty's ship Amphion, in Hamoaze, on Thursday last. The congregation, which was very numerous, was visibly affected on this solemn occasion, and a suitable sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Hawker.
Mrs. Spry, of Dock, has lost on board the Amphion, her husband, brother, and her only son—her feelings on this melancholy event can scarcely be imagined.
A list of men saved from the Amphion, transmitted by admiral Sir Richard King, commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels at Plymouth, to Mr. Nepean.

** In the Drawings of Washington Lottery, No. II. published yesterday, for 2150 a prize of 10 dollars, read a prize of 100 dollars.
The foreign articles from Paris papers in this day's Gazette are chiefly copied from the American Daily Advertiser.
In the Aurora of this morning there are the following variations from these translations.
Moreau's letter Mr. Bache has dated October 1st and 2d—we have seen the Paris paper which contains the article; it is therein dated Vendemaire 10th and 11th, answering to October 2d and 3d. The Aurora makes Moreau say, that he had taken EIGHT HUNDRED PRISONERS and THIRTY-FIVE OFFICERS. Mr. Claypoole's paper says 300 prisoners, and five officers—this agrees with the French paper.
General ERNOUFF and his Son, are arrested at Brussels.
If the heroic exploits and victorious career of the Archduke will probably end in the destruction of the victorious army, then the army over which the Archduke has been victorious, becomes itself the victorious army, and is placed in the same situation with the army of the Archduke; ergo, they, the French, according to this doctrine of the Aurora, must themselves, when they shall become victorious, be also annihilated in their turn. Thus will they all be annihilated together!
BALTIMORE, November 21.
On Saturday evening last, the entertainments of the New Theatre closed for the season, with the RACE, the POOR SOLDIER, and other exhibitions. Between the play and farce, Mr. Wirt appeared, and addressed a crowded audience to the following effect:
Ladies and Gentlemen, The company's performance for this season closes this night, with the exhibitions. Custom has prescribed it as a rule to come forward, and return our warmest thanks for the encouragement with which you have honored us—this I do sincerely, on my own part, the part of Mr. Reinagle, my colleague, and the company in general. We propose meeting you early in the spring, with a considerable reinforcement to our present company, at which time, we hope again to be honoured with your patronage. In the mean time, permit me to assure you, of our sincerest wishes for your individual health and happiness, and the general prosperity of the town of Baltimore.
GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE LIST. PHILADELPHIA, November 24.
Table with 3 columns: Ship, Days, and Remarks. Includes entries for Arethusa, Mary Kown, New Castle on Tyne, etc.
For the Gazette of the United States. No. VIII. To the Electors of the President of the United States. Respectable Fellow Citizens, COLLATERAL circumstances are often powerful corroboratives of direct evidence. It is therefore of consequence to state, that an accident has recently brought under view a passage in one of the papers written with every apparent exertion against Mr. Jefferson in 1792, just before the last election of a President, when it was uncertain whether ge-
neral Washington would serve again. The writer, though an explicit and industrious opponent of Mr. Jefferson, admits, that Mr. Adams entertains what he ingeniously calls "speculative doubts concerning the probable success of the republican theory." Practical politicians soon aim to execute their mental speculations. The paper referred to was the first of a series of essays, published under the signature of Catullus, in the Gazette of the United States. Who was the writer of Catullus does not appear, but it is perfectly certain that the letters of Phocion (since published in a pamphlet October 1796 without that signature) contain entire passages of the essays of Catullus, without the usual inverted commas ["] or any other marks of quotation. The presumption that Phocion and Catullus are the same person or persons appears to be perfectly fair and irrefragable. There is no essential difference between the entire contents of Catullus and an equal quantity of the essays of Phocion. Matters subsequent to the publications of Catullus are found, it is true, in Phocion and in the pamphlet made up of what was first given in the gazettes under that signature. They contradict each other only as to Mr. Adams. Catullus admits that Mr. Adams may doubt the probable success of the republican theory. Phocion and the pamphlet declaim a little about Mr. Adams's republicanism, and quote a few passages, which only tend to render his books something less imprudent—but so far as they go, also render it absolutely and palpably inconsistent. But the essays of Phocion and the revised pamphlet copy of part of his essays do not explain away any of the hereditary passages of Mr. Adams's books, nor do they answer the objections, which have been respectfully submitted to you. Phocion, whoever he may be, is a man of pretty ready talents; and he does not want zeal, time or industry; for he has already published twenty-four long essays. Whether he cannot satisfactorily explain Mr. Adams and counteract the evidences of the monarchical and aristocratical principles of that gentleman, or whether he is unwilling to do so from a similarity of principles, or from some other views, are questions before the electors and the world.
Another collateral circumstance worthy of serious reflection, is drawn from some ideas, which are understood to have been published in Boston in certain essays under the signature of Publicola, and which have been ascribed to Mr. John Adams, jun. They were written as a partial reply to "Paine's Rights of Man," in 1791; and have been since republished in London with the following title and motto in 1793. They were evidently considered in England as calculated to defend the British constitution, as it then stood, from any material changes or alterations. The title is as follows: "Answer to Paine's Rights of Man, by John Adams, esquire, originally printed in America." Motto. "It is not a mechanical horror against the name of a king or of aristocracy, nor a physical antipathy to the found of an extravagant title, or to the sight of an innocent ribband, that can authorise a people to lay violent hands upon the constitution." This book was read by the council for the king in Mr. Paine's trial. If the essays of Publicola had been first published in England, it would not so much have convinced the people of America, because the clearly implied defence of the English constitution would not have been placed under their consideration as either a matter interesting to them, or as a treatise tending to impair their attachment to the provisions of their own national constitution. Several passages and particularly by holding up the opinion that any existing political evils in England could not be correctly attributed to their form of government, though totally opposite in its cardinal principles, to ours. "The principal and most dangerous abuses in the English government" (says our author, distinguishing it from their constitution, p. 18) "arise less from the defects inherent in the constitution, than from the state of society; the universal venality and corruption, which pervades all classes of men in that kingdom, and which a change or government could not reform." It is not admitted by the writer, that there are any defects inherent in the constitution; though hereditary; nor is it at all objected to, though all the powers and virtues of the English constitution, with a Christian hierarchy to aid them, have not been efficacious to keep universal venality and corruption from pervading all classes of men in that kingdom. Though the interior affairs of Great Britain are represented by our author as thus universally sordid and vitiated, yet we find he entertains a caveat against ascribing these evils to the constitution. The hope, then, that "chance" or "providential" governors or rulers would save us from corruption and fraud, must after all be abandoned. It would have been instructive, perhaps, if we had been informed how these things crept into so well balanced and judicious a government. We cannot but expect, that our American divisions and balances of powers will work much better. Let us guard against fluctuations towards hereditary power and all its expected evils. Let us extend the sphere of national legislation. Let us not exhibit the political solecism of giving powerful seconds to our chief magistrate, who derive an independent authority from other sources, than the national will, and who are not amenable to a national tribunal. Let us borrow at least this one useful hint from our French allies, who do not so order things that the executive power of fifteen or eighteen departments be held from the inhabitants of such a grand division, with little or no amenability to the nation or to the national tribunals. In short, let us rather study to eradicate the seeds of imbecility, or fluctuation, and of evil from our inextinguishable federal representative government, and let us labor to invigorate this truly republican constitution, rather than to devote ourselves to a love for a foreign constitution, which is not, what it professes to be, or for a theory of orders and ranks, which has never yet been realized. Modern Britain, as we have seen, is governed in fact by little more than a two-hundredth part of her adult males. Of course no real or even virtual representation of the people is combined with the king and nobles.

Mr. Adams. YOU are requested to publish the following Extracts of two letters from Mr. JOHN ADAMS, (now Vice-President of the United States) dated
Philadelphia, July 3, 1776. "Yesterday was decided the greatest question which was ever debated in America: and a greater perhaps never was, or will be decided amongst men. A resolution was passed, without one dissenting colony, that "THESE UNITED COLONIES ARE, AND OF RIGHT OUGHT TO BE, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES."
"The day is passed. The second day of July, 1776, will be a memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as a day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever. You will think me transported with enthusiasm; but I am not. I am well aware of the toil and blood, and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states; yet, through all the gloom, I can see that the end is worth more than all the means, and that posterity will triumph, although you and I may rue, which I hope we shall not. I am &c. JOHN ADAMS."

The money prizes will be payable thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the draw- ing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the a- mount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the issue indispensable.

SWANN'S Riding School, Forfe Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street. I. SWANN RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and assures himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, difficult and dangerous exercises in Horsemanship, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will se- cure their future favours and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public, at large that his spacious and roomy modish premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety - their noses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the rider; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which Providence has so bountiful- ly bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience. The utility of the above institution has never been question- ed, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's mind will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution - the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscriptions are now open, and the signatures of many respect- able gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen, to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection. N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov. 5.

RANAWAY, About the 1st of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooke, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CAESAR; 33 years of age; about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a down look, and submissive tone of voice; the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others; he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler; I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehanna, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this State, and Fifty dollars if taken out of the State, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by ALEX. COVINGTON. Maryland, Prince George's County, } 11th Oct 1796 and November, 1796.

If supplies shall be required for any posts or places not mentioned in this notice, all such supplies shall be fur- nished at prices proportioned to those to be paid at the posts before recited, or as may be hereafter agreed on between the United States and the Contractor. The rations to be supplied are to consist of the fol- lowing articles, viz. One pound two ounces of bread or flour. One pound two ounces of beef, or fourteen ounces of pork or bacon. Half a gill of rum, brandy or whiskey. One quart and half a pint of ale. Two quarts of vinegar. Two pounds of soap.

It is to be un- derstood, that the Contractor is to be at the expense, and risk of shipping the supplies to the troops at each post, and that all losses sustained by the depredations of an enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the price of the articles captured or destroyed, on the deposition of two or more persons of credit as char- acters, and the certificate of a commissioned officer, at- certifying the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed.

As the Lottery is considerably more than one third drawn, the value of the undrawn tickets is great- ly increased, and it is worth the notice of those who hold tickets in the old scheme, that they can ex- change their tickets for those in the above, if they ap- ply soon, and at a moderate advance considering the now real value of an undrawn ticket. The tickets being nearly all sold, the drawing in future will be oftener, and the Lottery soon finished. November 12. mws
