Eighty Dollars Reward. RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New-town, Chester County, Queen Anne's country, a negro man, Nanny, went away on the 23rd January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto female child, about two years old, named Arianna. Nanny is a dark yellow negro, about five feet four or five inches high, remarkably handsome for a negro. Her clothing unknown as she took a variety of good cloths with her - she went off with a negro fellow, named Peter, and calls herself Peter Simpson, he is the property of a certain William Bowers of Talbot county, since as above, who has advertised one hundred dollars reward for him. Peter is a stout well made yellow fellow, about 6 feet one inch high, is a rolrable good Carpenter. Nanny passes for his wife, but her real husband is named Bob, who belongs to her master. It is probable they are in the neighbourhood of Salem in the Jerseys, as they were there in October last, and by information, Peter had built himself an house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed, as Peter can write a middling hand; it is probable Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away. The above reward will be given for the aforesaid two negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if taken out of the state, or twenty dollars for Nanny and child, if taken in this state, & 20 do. Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again. If brought home all reasonable charges shall be paid by me. JOHN QUMBY. w8fa.4w. March 3.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, January 15.
His Grace the Duke of Portland has issued a warrant against Peter Renier, a native of Tours, in France, and late of Gorton near Manchester, Turkey red-dyer, for his removal out of this kingdom, for using disrespectful and seditious words against this country.
The report of the sailing of a part of the Brest Fleet, to which some of our contemporaries gave implicit credit, is without any foundation. It originated in four men, part of the crew of a French lugger, from Cherbourg, which was taken by one of our ships.
It appears by letters from the Levant, that the Dey of Algiers has dispatched a formidable body of troops, under the command of an Aga, to inflict punishment upon the refractory Moors inhabiting the mountainous districts to the East of that City, who have, for the last four or five years, not only refused to pay the customary tribute, but also manifested a disposition to renounce all submission to the Dey.
A letter from Strasburgh, dated Jan. 5, says, that the union of the Chevaliers of the order of Malta of that City, together with those of Peterborough is agreed upon. The Chevaliers Kollowrath and St. Julien, sent to Peterborough on that account, are on their return.
Several regiments of Austrian cavalry, detached from the army of the Archduke Charles, are on their way the banks of the Nidda, to reinforce the Austro, Mayence army. They will be replaced by others in Suabia, marching from the Hereditary States of the Austrian Monarchy.
Advices have been received of upwards of 40 sail of French ships, under Danish colours, being on their passage home from the Isle of France, in the East Indies. The Intelligence was first received by Lieut. Corfella, of the Telegraph brig, from a Danish vessel. It is said one has already passed through the British Channel.
The Paris papers which arrived yesterday announce that the French minister of marine has received an account of an insurrection having broken out in the Mauritius against the government. The object of the insurgents is supposed to be to render that settlement independent of the mother country.
The Paris papers say, that the troops in the western departments in France and on their march to those departments, amount to 60,000 men.
A letter from Nantes, dated January 8, says, "Yesterday some English vessels were described towards Croisne. They are said to have consisted of one ship, two frigates, and three cutters. It appears certain that the English landed arms and ammunition between Mesquer and the Isle of Dumet, and in return received sixty tons of corn."
Government received yesterday important information respecting the dispositions of the different courts of Europe, and preparations for the approaching campaign. Of the magnitude of those preparations an opinion may be formed from the accounts which arrived by the Hamburg Mail, and which state that,
On the Rhine, The Austrian army is so constituted 100,000 men Russian - - - 70,000 Armed Peasants - - - 30,000 In Italy, The Austrians and Piedmontese troops 150,000
To meet this force, the chief confidant of France is making the most strenuous efforts. Massena is in the South, procuring supplies for the army of Italy. Moreau is at Strasburgh, organizing the army of the Rhine.
The well known Baron d'Armfeldt will again have great influence in Sweden. He is protected by the Russian interest.
There never was, perhaps, a battle fought which had so many distant spectators as that of Albaro, near Genoa. Most of the inhabitants of Genoa ran to the ramparts, steeples, &c. to witness the scene which was to decide the fate of the Ligurian Republic.
Paswan Ogloiu has cut off the communication between Belgrade and Constantinople.
Letters from Tunis state, that city is now fortifying after the European manner, to be able to undergo a siege. It is feared that the Dey of Tunis will go to war with Algiers, on account of a young Prince having been executed, who is said to have been born at Algiers, and kept up a correspondence with the Dey of Tunis, which being discovered, he was privately strangled.
January 29. Malta has been victualled by 14 vessels, which contrived to pass in unobserved by the enemy.
A letter from Hoecht, dated Jan. 4, says "There has been much blood shed to-day, for the Austrians and the French fought during several hours with inconceivable heat, and many lives were lost on both sides if we may judge of the killed from the number of the wounded who may have been brought in here. The advantage finally remained with the French; and as the Austrians had their reinforcements on the other side of the Mein, they could not come to their succour. The French have neglected, we know not why, to take advantage of their success, as they retired to Hetterheim."
January 30.
The last French papers give us reason to believe that very active preparations are making in most of the French ports, particularly in Brest and Toulon. Vice-admiral Bruix has been to Havre, Honneur, and Brest. Rear-admiral Latouche, who was ordered to proceed with all possible speed to Brest, received counter-orders on the 18th Jan. and was sent to Toulon, where he is to have a command, and from whence a small squadron only waited, according to the Paris papers, a fair wind to set sail upon some expedition. The ships had ammunition and provisions on board. A small number of ships had been previously dispatched from Toulon, and it is said, have contrived to throw supplies into Malta.
The Emperor of Russia, as we are informed, among other conditions of reconciliation with the Court of Vienna, stipulated the dismissal of Thugut; that Francis should declare for the restoration of Monarchy in France, and the status quo. We cannot believe these are the conditions, as it is well known that Thugut has uniformly opposed peace and the French Republic; as we see no proof that Francis will declare for Monarchy; and as he cannot be expected to surrender all his new acquisitions at the moment when he displays so much eagerness to extend his dominions.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
House of Lords—Wednesday, January 22. OVERTURES OF PEACE.
Lord Grenville presented a message from his Majesty to the following purport—
"George Rex, "The supplies in the commencement of the present session having been calculated to provide only for the first months of the year, his Majesty now recommends it to the House to make such further provision as they may judge necessary, under the present circumstances, for the several branches of the Public Service, and for the vigorous prosecution of the War; and his Majesty has given directions that the proper Estimates for this purpose should be laid before the House. "His Majesty has thought proper on this occasion to direct that there should be laid before the House Copies of Communications recently received from the enemy, and of the answers which have been returned thereto, by his Majesty's Command."
"His Majesty entertains the fullest confidence that those answers will appear to this House to have been conformable to that line of conduct which was required from his Majesty on this occasion, by his regard to all the most important interests of his dominions and his Majesty having no object more at heart than that of contributing, as soon as the situation of affairs shall make it practicable, to the re-establishment of the general tranquility of Europe, on a sure and solid foundation, and of providing effectually for the security and permanent prosperity of his faithful people, places a firm reliance on the continued support of his Parliament, and on the zeal and perseverance of his subjects, in such measures as may best tend to confirm the signal advantages which have been obtained to the Common Cause in the course of the last campaign, and to conduct the Great Contest in which his Majesty is engaged to a safe and honourable conclusion. G. R."
February 1.
COALITION AGAINST FRANCE.
In the house of lords on Tuesday last, Lord Grenville made use of words to the following effect: "The treaty of Pavia, of which we have heard so much, never existed. The whole story is a fable, and a gross imposition on the public. The treaty of Pilnitz is also misunderstood. There was no such thing as a treaty concluded at Pilnitz, nor even a convention. It was merely a declaration of the two courts of Vienna and Berlin of their wishes in favor of the Princes of the house of Bourbon." Such was the assertion of Lord Grenville.
Lord Grenville is correct as to the place. There was not a treaty at Pavia. He is right both as to the letter and to the place. It was not a treaty, and it was not at Pavia that the circumstance happened, which has given occasion to so much political notice. It was a declaration and not a treaty, and it was made at Mantua in the month of May 1791, instead of Pavia. We are indebted to M. Bertrand de Moleville, minister of state, for the particulars, and he gives them on the authority of M. de La Caze, M. de Calonne, M. de Vaudreuil, and the count Alphonse de Durfort.
From this history it appears, that in May 1791, the king and queen of France sent a confidential friend, the count Alphonse de Durfort, to the Count d'Artois, with a commission to treat with the emperor Leopold, then travelling in Italy with his sister the queen of Naples, for the rescue and re-establishment of the royal family of France. The conference took place at Mantua on the 20th of May.
LIVERPOOL, January 13.
By Captain Sellers of the Diana, who arrived here on Tuesday, after being taken on the coast by a squadron of frigates, we learn, that Captain Clare of the Thomas, belonging to this port, has taken a second
Spanish prize, a very fine and valuable ship and sent her into Princes, having given up the brig he had before captured to the crews of the two vessels.
Captain Bland of the William, has favoured us with the following intelligence: "On the 1st of Decr. at day light in the morning, saw a fleet of ships, consisting of 12 large ships and 16 smaller ones, then standing to the eastward, immediately altered our course, and at eight lost sight of them."
January 16.
On Tuesday arrived here the ship Galen, from New York, with 1600 barrels flour; and we are credibly informed that 6000 barrels more are daily expected.
The following account was received by Messrs J. and A. Lodge, from Belfast yesterday. The American ship Oritis captain Tristram Redman, which sailed from hence for the S. W. the 28th November last, was captured the 5th December following, by the French privateer Bougainville, of 24 guns and 100 men who plundered a number of packages belonging to the cargo, put nine Frenchmen on board her, and then ordered her for France or Spain, leaving on board Captain Redman, his mate, and four of his crew. On Saturday the fourth inst. they overpowered the Frenchmen, and brought the ship into Belfast the 7th; from whence, after getting a supply of provisions, &c.

On Friday last the Janus transport, Captain Adams, having on board the Russian Major General Arbeneff and suite, and about 300 troops, from the Helder, failed from hence for Guernsey, under convoy of the Cobourg cutter.
AUGSBURGH, January 5.
It is said that the Circle of Suabia has offered to furnish the empire with an army of 10,800 men; that Great Britain on its part has entered into a formal engagement to furnish subsidies for the formation of this corps, and keep it in pay during the continuance of the war. The Deputies of the Circle of Suabia presented these conditions to Mr. Wickham on the 13th Decr. — He has ever since observed a profound silence concerning the article that these troops should be maintained by Great Britain.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 11.
A prodigious quantity of Austrian troops, Wurttembergers and Hamburgers, taken from the contingents of the different princes and states of the empire, and the militia corps of Franconia, have just filed towards the Main, in many columns, to reinforce the Austro-Mentz troops, who occupy the borders of the Nidda. It is now certain that the army of the empire will muster entirely on the Lower Rhine, that of Suwarrows will arrive there the beginning of spring, if unforeseen events do not force it to direct its steps towards other countries. It will there be joined by the Russian forces assembled in Poland, under the command of general Lassey.
The speedy arrival of 20,000 Russians from Bohemia is announced at Augsburg as certain. — They will take a position along the Main as far as Alschaffembourg. The rest of the army of gen. Suwarrows, after having been new clothed, will repair, will repair also to Franconia. According to the same intelligence, the first column of the Russian army, assembled in Lithuania and Wolhinia, have been put in motion to pass the Vistula. This army consists of 60,000 men, 52,000 of which are combatants. The infantry form three fourths of it; the regular cavalry form the rest.
Gen. Mack is, it is said, to set out for Vienna immediately on the affair of his exchange being terminated.
Lord Minto, the English Minister at our court, and lieutenant-general count Bellegrade, far out within these few days for Prague, where they are to hold a conference with Prince Suwarrows, on different subjects of very great importance.
FRANCKFORT, January 16.
The number of troops detached from the army of the Archduke Charles to repair to the army of Italy is estimated at 15,000 men. It is reported that 40,000 Russians have passed the Bog to join the army of Suwarrows.

PROCLAMATION
Of the Central Administration of the Department of the Loire Inferieure. The suspension of arms concluded with the rebels is nearly at an end. In a few days either peace will be made, or the war will be renewed.
Peace or War! Inhabitants of the Loire Inferieure, when you can choose between these two extremes, will you balance for an instant? No, your choice cannot be doubtful, and this district shall not dream with
blood anew. You are not serious. You will not rally yourselves with banditti of robbers and assassins.
Deluded men, if there yet be any who can think of following a party without hope, and who are already overcome, open your eyes. The terrible lesson of experience is still written on every thing that surrounds you. The fields ravaged, and which still lie uncultivated; these cottages destroyed; these villages burnt and deserted; the depopulation of this unfortunate country — these are the disasters of your first rebellion, and you will prepare for yourselves still greater than these!
You fight, say you, for your religion and for your priests. Your priests are restored to you; all so as of public worship are free, and equally protected. Why then do you resume your arms?
It is for a king? A king cannot longer exist in France! Royalty is forever banished and no man of sense can ever hope for its return.
Is it for the noblesse? Remember that privileges alone made the nobles. Call to mind all the exactions, of which you were, of which you will again be more than ever the victims! Will you be so blind or not to see that your triumph even if your triumph were not impossible, would be for you the greatest misfortunes? When you can remain free, do not fight that you may once more become slaves.
Every thing that is just, the government has granted you. In promising to forget the past, they offer you a generous pardon. Dread if you do not accept their offer, the accomplishment of their threats.
A numerous army is charged to avenge the republic. In a few days all the ruffians will be annihilated. Hasten then, while yet it is time, to separate yourselves from them. Let them find no where an asylum. In denying to them all protection, merit for yourselves the protection which is offered you.
And you, citizens of all the cantons, numerous friends of peace, unite yourselves — to arms against frightful depredation. May it be forever extinguished! Guide the Republican columns. Fight in the ranks of the brave men whom victory has constantly crowned. Live the Republic!
We announced in one of our late papers, that the chiefs of the Insurgents of the whole left bank of the Loire, extending to Monticello, had accepted peace, and taken measures for disbanding all their forces. We now hasten to announce, that the right bank has followed the example of the left.
Letter from General Hedouville, Lieutenant of the commander in chief.
Angers, 1 Pluviose (January 21.) Chatillon's division of Chouans has accepted peace. This division comprehends part of the departments of Mayenne and Loire, and of Inferior Loire, situated on the right bank of the river Loire; also the district of Caen, in the department of Mayenne, and that of the left of the department of Ille et Vilaine. We must expect the district of Chateconnet in the department of Mayenne and Loire, which is occupied by Bourmont, who has his hands in La Sarthe and Mayenne. If he does not follow the example of d'Antichamp and Chatillon, they will be pursued with the utmost vigour. I have reason to think, that Prevalais, who has his hands in the department of Ille et Vilaine, will submit also.
The commander in chief Bruns, is going in pursuit of Georges with so much activity, that the attacks made upon him will no doubt completely finish this intestine war. (Signed) HEDOUVILLE.

SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, AND JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's, INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 13th of next month, (April)
An Academy,
CONSISTING OF 1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Natural History. 2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry and Trigonometry, with their application to Mensuration, Surveying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy, &c. — Also, the Principles of Mechanics, Algebra and Fluxions. 3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar School Education, the Seminary now proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful.
Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and excited the most flattering expectations of its success.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor to conduct this Seminary of Learning, so to subserve the great Interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberty of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, constitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman, and the scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situation, if such a change should be found necessary.
A master of distinguished abilities will be procured to conduct the Mathematical Department.
Persons desirous to be employed as Tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the subscribers, to whom also Parents wishing to send their children, will please to make application.

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 1.
(No. 11.)
To the Hon. Thomas Jefferson, Esq. Vice-President of the United States.
I HAVE now, Sir, for the first time, a few moments of leisure, since my last address to you. To these, you have an undoubted claim; and I regret, that I have been under an indispensable necessity so long, to neglect you.
My two last letters contained your publication in the Richmond Examiner; and a complete copy of your letter to the late Governor Henry:—A letter, which, it is most certain, was never, on your part, intended to be seen or commented upon by me.
"I pray that no confidence which you may repose in any one, may induce you to let it get out of your hands so as to get into a newspaper;"—these are your words.
When you found yourself summoned by me before the tribunal of the public, on account of the charges you had made, in your Notes upon Virginia, against the ancestor of my children, you was too destitute of candor, and you possessed much too great a portion of those passions, which hauled Lucifer and his rebel train from the bright regions of bliss, to acknowledge your error:—And facts, you knew, were too powerfully marshalled against you, to leave you a hope of supporting those charges by an open and manly decision.
To write private and confidential letters, in "that sweetness of style, which so pleasingly distinguishes your literary compositions," and send them to gentlemen in indifferent parts of the United States, whose situation and influence might be made subservient to your views. To compliment them highly in these letters, with the assurance of the great sensibility you feel for the interest they take in the business; of the certainty with which you "know their objects to be truth and justice alone," and of "the pleasure with which you," therefore, "go into explanations with them"—and that "to satisfy minds in whole candor and rectitude you have the highest confidence, is your only motive for giving them so lengthy a detail"—To accompany all this with declarations of the "extraordinary gratification which you feel on addressing them;" and with assurances that "with sentiments of high respect and attachment, you have the honor to be their most obedient and most humble servant;"—To flatter them still further with being, as it were, the chosen guardians and protectors of the honor and reputation of a Vice President, by entrusting them, confidentially, to communicate your "sweet-styled" confidential letters, to all those, "who are willing to see things as they truly are;" and afterwards to place in the hands of your friends and partisans a reasonable number of copies of those letters, by them to be used as occasion might require, is a mode of conduct which you have adopted as more prudent and more congenial to your mind.
You are no stranger to the human heart, and you well knew how bewitching are the syron notes of adulation; indeed if there is any truth in your insinuation, that between the late Governor Henry and yourself, there existed, at the time when you wrote your letter, only shades of political differences, you must have had experimental proof of their efficacy upon him, during the short period you and he resided under the same roof, after Mr. Adams was elected to the presidency; for I well know that not long before that time the blackness of darkness was not more different from the splendor of the meridian Sun than were your and his political sentiments.
The compliments so lavishly bestowed by you were intended to obtain a favorable reception from those to whom your letters were addressed; while the flattering circumstance of being selected from the vulgar herd, as persons above prejudice, and "willing to see things truly as they are," was calculated to have a similar effect upon those, for the "rectifying of whose judgments," your confidential letters should be confidentially shown.
Thus you insidiously prepared them, implicitly, to believe whatever you suggested to them, without troubling themselves to investigate its substance or solidity!—And all this was to be done with the profoundest secrecy!—"No confidence was to be reposed in any one" so far as to afford a possibility of its getting into a newspaper—or, in other words, so far as to afford a possibility of its coming to my knowledge. Like the mole on the garden, shrouded in the darkness of the night you endeavoured silently to mine your secret path, in the hopes of being able to lay waste and destroy my labors of the day. It is an instance of management and artifice, well worthy the author of the notes upon Virginia.
But notwithstanding all your original art and caution—notwithstanding all your solicitude and anxiety to the contrary, that very letter has at length "got into a newspaper," that field, that public, open field, against a contest in which you are so entirely decided."
For this you may thank, not only your own wickedness, but your folly, for the most artful are sometimes off their guard.
You found by experience that your secret, your mole-like machinations were not so effectual as you had hoped; that after the facts of which I had put the public in possession, something more on your part was necessary to prevent you from general condemnation. In fine, to use your own words, you "heard such frequent and reproachful allusions to the uncontradicted libels of Luther Martin," that you could endure them no longer;—and it seems that you could think of no better expedient than to publish
garbled extracts from your letter to Governor Henry, accompanied with observations, the object and design of which were not only to excuse yourself from censure, on account of having originally published the charges against Mr. Gresap, but to induce contrary to full and possible proof, which I had laid before you; contrary to your better knowledge and the conviction of your own mind, a belief that those charges are true. It is this most wicked and malicious attempt on your part, in comparison of which the malignity of your original conduct almost vanishes from the light, that determined, may, that obliged me to make your Richmond publication the subject of public animadversion.
In your letter to Governor Henry, you have wished to pass yourself upon him, and those to whom it might be communicated, as perfectly excusable and innocent, in your original conduct, and that if you had been so unfortunate as to give circulation to falsehood and calumny, you had been guilty of no want of care or negligence of enquiry;—that you had only published what thousands and ten thousands had repeated, and believed for more than a dozen years before you had published your notes on Virginia.
You wished also to be considered by them as a man of the strictest candor and impartiality, solicitous to acquire complete information, and fully determined, if what you had published could not be supported, to correct your error, while at the same time you took care, artfully to insinuate there were such obstacles opposed to your search after truth, that your future silence might be attributed to your want of success. You also judged it necessary to make some kind of excuse for having passed over in silence the letter I had addressed to you through the medium of the public papers.
Hereafter, I shall enquire what would be the real demerit of your conduct, supposing what you are so anxious to have believed, that you have done nothing more than given extensive circulation and perpetuity to the lie of the day, which you and others had heard repeated, and been weak and credulous enough to believe.
In the meantime I shall undertake to prove that "the story of Logan," which flatters the speech to be genuine with the sanction of your name, which pretends to detail the minutest particulars, attending the murder of Logan's family, to which it alludes, and which has much greater malignity than the speech itself, is the original offspring of your own imagination: and that even the speech, as published by you, in your notes upon Virginia, owes its most virulent malignity to the same source.
But it may not be improper first to investigate what credit ought to be given to certain of your assertions, the truth or fallacy of which are more capable of direct proof.
You state yourself, in your notes upon Virginia that the death of Logan's family took place in the Spring of 1774. The treaty, at which Logan's speech, such as it originally was, was first introduced, was held in the fall of 1774. The English edition of the Notes upon Virginia, it is true, was not printed until sometime in 1787, but that work was written by you as early as in the year 1781, (I believe the part in question was written much earlier,) and copies of it were printed at your instance, and circulated among your philosophical and other friends, and correspondents; beside which another edition had been published in France, antecedent to that which was printed in Great Britain. From these facts it is certain that not more than seven years had passed from the death of Logan's family and the time Logan's speech was first invented, to the time when you wrote your Notes upon Virginia, and but a short period more before they were published, and yet so little regard had you for truth, and so little did you expect that your assertions would be scrutinized, that in your letter to Governor Henry, you have asserted that "the story of Logan" illustrating that speech, "is only repeated in the Notes upon Virginia precisely as it had been current more than a dozen of years before they were published!" No wonder you was so anxious your letter should not "get into a news paper."
"I knew nothing of the Gresaps," is another of your assertions, from which you would wish it to be inferred, that you could have no improper motive for your original publication.
This assertion, I have good reason to believe, was made with as little regard to truth as the former.
Colonel Gresap was well known in Virginia at a time when you had probably scarcely left your cradle. He had been in habits of correspondence with the executive of Virginia, occasionally, for near thirty years before, and to the time of the revolution.
In the last war, in which we, as a part of the British empire, were engaged against France, persons authorised by the Government of Virginia, had occasionally at his house met and conferred with the Indians, and he and his family had greatly distinguished themselves in that war. He was also connected with a number of the most respectable characters in Virginia as a member of the Ohio Company, of which I believe he had conceived the original idea, and of which he might be, with no great impropriety, considered the vital spark, that first kindled it into existence. Scarce any event in the history of America was better known than the manner in which his eldest son gallantly fell in the service of his country, killed by, and killing an Indian Chief, with whom he was engaged.
Nor was the name of my father-in-law so totally unknown or undistinguished. When but a child, he shared with his father and his brothers in the toils and in the dangers of warfare.
In the summer and fall of 1774, he commanded a company in the service of Virginia, against the Indians; first under Colonel McDonald, and then under Lord Dunmore. During which campaign, independent of his military services, it was by reason of the confidence the western inhabitants had in him, and their attachment to him, in a considerable degree, that supplies were obtained, which gave it so successful a termination. The State of Virginia settled with his executors a large debt which they owed on that occasion.
When Congress first determined to bring rifle companies into service, he was, if not the first, one of the first, who was fixed upon for their command. The newspapers of the day, contain the most flattering eulogiums on the commander, and on the company he commanded, for the respectability of the characters of which it was composed, and for their unequalled skill in the use of the rifle. He died in Newyork in the fall of 1775. He was buried with military honors—all ranks of citizens attended his funeral; the pomp and parade attending the deposit of his remains in Trinity Church yard, was published in the newspapers. You was a member of Congress when he received his appointment, and at the time of his death; and I may fairly presume was in the habit of knowing and attending to what was done under Congressional acts, and of reading the public papers.
A brother and a cousin of his had held commissions under the government of Virginia and served with Lord Dunmore against the Indians, in the summer of 1774; the one as a captain and the other as a lieutenant; of whom the first was appointed, during the revolution, a colonel of the militia of Hampshire county in your state, and held the appointment until his death: the second served with his brother in the rifle company. The whole family lived either within or in sight of Virginia; and the line of that state ran through their possessions. And yet after all this, you have, in your letter to Governor Henry, hazarded the assertion that you "knew nothing of the Cresaps!" Credat Judaeus Appella. But perhaps you would wish us to suppose that you had been born and educated in one of those caverns, which you have so minutely and elegantly described in your Notes upon Virginia, and that you had but just emerged from that your solitary habitation when you wrote those Notes. Indeed I can conceive no other decent excuse, but a supposition like this, which even your admirers could suggest, for the shameful ignorance you have shown with regard to facts, which you have published in that work, and which no man of principle ought to have committed to print without a certainty of their truth.
But let it be remembered, that you never intended this your assertion should "get into a newspaper!"
LUTHER MARTIN. March 28.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, March 31. A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the house, that the Senate have passed a bill in titled, "An act prescribing the mode of deciding disputed Elections of President and Vice President of the United States," to which they request the concurrence of this house.
The following bills were read a third time and passed, viz.
An act to fix the rank and pay of the commanding officer of the Marine Corps. An act to extend the privilege of franking letters and packages to Martha Washington. And
An act to divide the territory of the United States N. W. of the Ohio, into two separate governments.
A message was received from the President of the United States, by his Secretary Mr. Shaw, informing the house, that the President did, on the 29th inst. approve and sign an act intitled "An act for the relief of Campbell Smith," and also certain resolutions in honor of Captain Thomas Truxtun, and James Jarvis—which originated in this house.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill to amend the act intitled An act providing for the sale of the Lands of the United States in the territory N. W. of the Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river, when the first section having been read,
Mr. Cooper said, the bill contained all the evils which had been complained of before; the rich and wealthy would still have it in their power to buy the best land, the poor people not being able to ascertain the quality of them, or make the necessary surveys—he would therefore move that the committee rise, in order that the bill might be recommitted.
Mr. Harrison replied, that it was necessary that the land should be divided into sections as the bill contemplated, a number of individuals having settled on them, with an expectation of having the right of purchase. The motion was negatived.
Mr. Griswold then moved to strike out the first section:
Messrs. Gallatin, Nicholas, Harper, Gordon, and Harrison, opposed this motion; and Messrs. H. Lee, Cooper, Edmond, and Griswold, spoke in favour of it.
A motion was then made and carried, that the committee rise—ays 45, noes 30.
Mr. Sewall asked and obtained leave of absence for Mr. Otis, for three weeks.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the house, that the Senate had considered the bill sent from this house, for discharging Robert Sturgeon from his imprisonment, and have resolved that the same do pass, with an amendment. And that they have resolved, that the bill for the relief of Thomas Arnold, do not pass.
The bill sent from the Senate this morning prescribing the mode of deciding disputed elections of President and Vice President, was read a first time, and upon the question, shall the bill have a second reading at the present time, it was carried, ayes 53—and was committed to a committee of the whole house, and made the order of the day for tomorrow.
Mr. Harper, from the committee to whom was recommitted the bill relative to the Judiciary system, brought in a bill to provide for the more convenient organization of the Courts of the United States.—Adj.
Two hundred and twenty-one American vessels have been condemned by the French Consul at Cadiz.
Veneration was on Sunday paid to the memory of the deceased General Washington by the officers and sailors of the American ships in the port of London, assembling in solemn devotion at St. John's Church. Wapping, clad with mourning for the irrepressible loss. [Lon. Pap.]

MAP OF NEW-JERSEY.
THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New-Jersey, immediately after their appointment transmitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New-York and Philadelphia, and since that time, through the medium of the public press, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Satter, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless being of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trading degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meeting of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the number of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.

WATER-OFFICE.
Centre Square, February 5, 1800.
IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought rea- sonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the cu- riosity of the citizens, by showing them the Engines in full operation; a temporary ex- clusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.
