On visiting the Grave of ROBERT BELL.
To thee, O BELL! a brother Auctioneer Pays the sad tribute of a pious tear; To thee, who skill'd in elocution's art, Could'st route to learning ev'ry youthful heart, And oft could'st flatter Mifers into scholars, Who, tho' they hated learning, paid the dollars.
In ev'ry state, in ev'ry town, thy wit Has made the rustic stare, or charm'd the cit. In vain harsh critics at thy talents rail'd, Thy humor triumph'd, where thy learning fail'd. The bigot too, thy genius could beguile, Who, tho' he came to sneer, was found to smile. Elop thou could'st excel in Elop's art, And rival Stelling Thespis in thy cart.
One prophet's mantle to another fell; May humble Titus thus succeed to BELL! And with a master's hand thy mallet seize, Intent to thrive, not less intent to please. And be this verse inscrib'd upon thy stone, Second as Auctioneer to BELL alone.

O S T E N D, July 16. The States of Flanders have issued notice, that the waters of the Canal from Ostend to Bruges will be drawn off on the 8th of August next, for the purpose of cleaning and deepening it, by which the navigation of large ships will be interrupted during six weeks.
L O N D O N, July 12. The annual profits arising from the African Slave-Trade to Great Britain, have been computed at 270,000l.
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, July 10. "It is a pity the nation does not know the northern emigrations. There are 300 fine people, men, women, and children, going immediately from the Isle of Sky, and it is to be feared they are only the forerunners of all the industrious tenantry of that country. The main cause of this emigration is said to be their little possessions being seized to one man, who has warned them to remove, and have no where else to go. They have sent half their freight or passage money, to Port Glasgow, as earnest for the ship to carry them."
The Court of Spain has come to a resolution of tolerating to a certain degree, every Christian sect, that admits of the history of the Holy Trinity and the incarnation of our blessed Saviour, as contained in the Creed of the Apostles; and it was expected that on the 25th of July, being the festival of St. James, a pragmatic sanction for the purpose would be issued out at the castle of Ildefonso.
There were two different reports towards Thursday evening, and both seemingly from good authority, of an action between the Grand Imperial and Turkish armies. They differed, however, as to the event of the combat. The one, which came through the channel of opposition, said, that the Emperor had totally defeated the Vizier in a pitched battle; but the other, which is the government account of the matter, states, that the Turks were only repulsed in a slight attempt on the Austrian trenches, without any great loss on either side. The latter is the most probable, as it is said to be founded on direct official intelligence. A short time must determine the fact.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans is returned to France; he landed at Calais on Friday afternoon last. The marchioness, who accompanied his Royal Highness during his late visit, set off before him.
The new naval administration intend to propose one measure in the ensuing session of Parliament, viz. the enregistering a certain number of sea men at all the sea ports of the kingdom, in a similar manner to what is practiced in France, in order that a number of sailors may be ready to man the ships of war on any emergency.
JUNE 19.
Extract of a letter from Stockholm, June 27. "Before his Majesty went on board the fleet he sent notice to the Russian Ambassador, Count Ramanovsky, by M. Bedoire, the master of the ceremonies, that he could no longer look upon him as a Russian Minister at his Court, and therefore the sooner he could make it convenient to depart the better. Notwithstanding all these appearances and preparations of war, the trade with Russia goes on as usual."
Official dispatches were on Monday last received from the Duke of Dorset in Paris. They state, that the French dispatches from India mentioned an expedition, which the governor of Pondicherry was undertaking against Trincomalee, in consequence of a fleet that was dispatched in November last, with the information of the probable rupture between France and this country, and authorizing the governor of the French settlements in the East-Indies to arm; that this armament was in consequence preparing.
The above is all the information yet received in France; but the most satisfactory part of the dispatches sent by our Ambassador there is, that the French government had given this notification, in case it should turn out, that Trincomalee was taken; the English Ministry might, however, be assured, that the most speedy and effectual steps had been taken to stop every warlike preparation in India, and that if any hostilities have been committed, the possessions should be immediately restored, with every satisfaction of damages.
Wednesday afternoon the Secretary of State sent a free pardon to Mr. Wilkins, the Printer, in Newgate, which his Majesty signed among the first official papers at Cheltenham. The Right Honorable Lord George Gordon, the author of the publication in favor of the prisoners, printed by Mr. Wilkins, still continues in Newgate.
It was not until Thursday, that any positive advices of the engagement between the Swedes and Russians, in the East Sea, were received. The fact was thus explained in a letter received by the Danish Ambassador, from Copenhagen.—On the 22d of June, four Russian ships of the line, three of which were of 100 guns, and four frigates, on their passage from Cronstadt to Copenhagen, fell in with the Swedish squadron, and in passing they saluted each other. The firing was heard, and seen at a distance, by an English merchantman, passing near at the time, who knowing of the intended rupture between the two nations, gave it out, there had been an engagement.
Thursday, arrived at the hotel, in King-street, St. James's-Square, Brigadier-general Hope, Lieutenant Governor of Canada, having landed from
the ship Carleton, of Plymouth, after a voyage of 32 days from Quebec. All was very quiet in those parts when the Carleton failed, on the 10th of June, and Lord Dorchester's health, which had a severe shock during last winter, was perfectly re-established; but his Lordship had given up the thought of visiting Nova-Scotia this summer, so that the Lieutenant Governor of Canada, had obtained leave to be absent for a few months from that province, on his private affairs.—All the ships had arrived at Quebec safe, and there was every prospect of brisk trade this summer, in that province.
ARRET of the Council of State, held at Versailles, the 5th of July, 1788, concerning the Grand General Assembly of the Nation.
HIS Majesty having declared in November last his intention to convene the States-General of the Kingdom, he gave orders immediately that proper enquiries should be made, for the sake of rendering the Assembly regular in its forms, and useful to his subjects. By the strictest researches, made for that purpose, it appears that ancient minutes of the respective States, furnish the necessary details concerning their policy, their fittings, and their functions; but in regard to the forms, that must precede and follow their convocation, the case does not seem quite so clear. Writs had been sent sometimes to the Grand Bailiffs and Seneschals, and sometimes to the Governors of Provinces.—The last General Assembly, in 1614, was convened by application to the Bailiffs, but even this method does not appear to have been general in all the provinces. Besides, many great changes have happened since in the Bailiwicks, increased in number and jurisdiction, and several provinces have been united to France. Custom, therefore, cannot be any longer a guide, and nothing certain can be fixed upon about the form of election, or the number of constituents and representatives.—His Majesty has reflected, therefore, that if these preliminaries were not settled before the convening of the States-General, the wished for, salutary end, could never be obtained.—The choice of representatives might be liable to disagreeable contentions; their number might be disproportioned to the wealth and population of some provinces; the rights of peculiar districts, and particular towns, might not be settled; the inhabitants of the different orders might not be sufficiently balanced; and in short, the number of representatives might be too great or too small, and that might occasion endless trouble and confusion, or prevent the nation from being properly represented. His Majesty's intention is, not to deviate, if possible, from the ancient established customs; but when there is no likelihood of ascertaining them, he means to substitute to the old documents' silence, the general opinion of all his subjects, before any thing is determined upon, in order that their confidence may be stronger in an Assembly that shall be truly national, both by its composition and its effects. For these urgent reasons, the King is come to a resolution to make all possible enquiries in the archives of every province, respecting all the above-mentioned objects. The result of these researches will be communicated to the respective states, provinces, and districts, who will acquaint his Majesty with their wishes and observations by memorials, that may be addressed to him. The Monarch thereby will, with pleasure and satisfaction, see one of the greatest advantages he had promised himself from the Provincial Assemblies, arising from his enquiry; for, although they cannot, as the Provincial States, send Deputies to the States General, they will offer to his Majesty, an easy means to communicate with his people, and to know their wishes on subjects that interest them so much. He hopes to procure, in this manner, to the nation, the most regular and the most suitable Assembly of the States-General; to prevent the contentions that might uselessly prolong its duration; to establish, in the composition of each of the three orders, a proper harmony, and the necessary proportion; to assure to that Assembly the confidence of the people, after whose wishes and approbation it shall have been formed; to render it, in short, as it should be—The Assembly of a great family, sharing for their Chief a common Father.
ARTICLES contained in the ARRET. 1. Municipal officers of towns, &c. to make the necessary enquiries, and to send the result of their researches to the Syndics of the Provincial States, and Provincial Assemblies. 2. Officers of Jurisdictions to make the same enquiries, and to communicate them to the Keeper of the Seals. 3. His Majesty invites all persons, who may be instructed in such matters, to send their intelligence to the Syndics. 4. The Syndics themselves are to make the same enquiries, and after having submitted them to the States and Provincial Assemblies, to send them to the Keeper, &c. 5. Inferior Assemblies to send the same enquiries to the superior ones, who are to convey them to the Keeper. 6. His Majesty expects all the above intelligence before the 1st of March, 1789; but if that should be impracticable, in some of the Provinces, he insists on having at least a Memorial from them, explaining their wishes and intentions on the subject in question. 7. In case of different opinions, they may be presented with the Memorial, &c. and will be duly attended to. 8. His Majesty invites all the learned, and well-informed persons of his kingdom, particularly the Members of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres of Paris, to address their observations and useful researches on this important subject to the Keeper of the Seals. 9. The moment his Majesty shall receive the necessary informations from the Keeper, he will consider the best manner to convene the wished-for Assembly of the States, and render it as national and as regular as it should be.
From the Virginia Centinel.
W I N C H E S T E R, Sept. 10. From the Justices of the Court of Abbeville, now sitting, to the people living on Nolechucky, French-Broad, and Holston.
WE have lately, through various channels, received information that the Cherokees on your side of the mountains have received many injuries, and suffered very great calamities from some among you who pretend to act by the authority of your government, or with the general approbation of the people in your settlements.
While the head men from Highwaffie were coming to meet in a conference to which they were invited, a party from your settlement went round and murdered seven of the Indians who were peacefully working in their corn-fields; nine also were murdered at Chilhowee—thirty have been slaughtered on the Tennessee, and one made a prisoner;—the inhabitants of Chota and five other towns have been forced, by the outrages committed on them, to abandon their settlements and their crops of corn, and fly to this side of the mountain for peace and protection:—A friendly letter was written to them, requesting them to return and live again at their towns, and also to send in a runner, with a white flag, which they were told was sacred by the law of nations. A few
days after this, a party from among you came to Cttico, and there murdered two Indians—men who had remained in their houses:—The party then proceeded to Chilhowee, and raised a white flag; on which the Old Tassel, Old Abraham, his Son, and the Leech, Indian chiefs remarkable for their good offices and fidelity in the darkest situation of our affairs, raised a flag on their part, and came out; they came under the protection of a flag of truce, a protection inviolable even amongst the most barbarous people, and in the character of Ambassadors, a character held sacred by the law and custom of nations, and by the consent of mankind in every age. But under this character, and with the sacred protection of a flag, they were attacked and murdered.
Your bosoms will no doubt burn with resentment at the recital of those unprovoked injuries, as ours did when we received the information—information which we are grieved to find too well authenticated. The objects of their murders and massacres were an harmless and peaceable, and almost defenceless people; circumstances which give them a just claim to the compassion of every humane and noble mind, and it is unworthy American valor and heroism which bled in the cause of liberty, and defended it when attacked by the most formidable power, to kill and plunder a few naked unarmed savages, who with for nothing but to possess their lands, and kill their venison in peace. They are also a free and independent nation, to whom the protection of the United States has been granted, for their freedom, and possessions by the most solemn treaties; and they are our allies and friends, friends who adhered to us in the darkest season of our affairs, when the other Indian tribes, and even a great part of this nation united against us, to aid the British in their attempts to lay the yoke of slavery on our necks:—These people have all constantly testified the most friendly disposition towards your settlements, and when attacks have been meditated, or expeditions set on foot against you by the Creeks, have given you timely warning of the danger.
Far be it from us to imagine that their wanton and inhuman injuries to the peaceable and faithful allies, their unmanly attack upon unarmed and unsuspecting savages, their violations of treaties, infractions of the law of nations and rights of men, and wanton outrages on the feelings of humanity, have been perpetrated by the order, with the approbation, or even knowledge of the whole people whom we now address: you feel no less warmly than we do the indignation and horror which such conduct ought to inspire in generous and noble minds; but all people have bad men among them, therefore it is highly incumbent, that the virtuous and considerate part of the community watch over the actions of the undeserving, to prevent them from involving their country in calamities, to gratify their own base and unworthy passions.
By a strict search you may find out the persons who come within the above description, and you are bound by every tie of justice and honor, duty and sound policy, to restrain such as they are from similar conduct in future: This is what the Indians themselves have done: in lately sentencing to death one of their people, who was concerned in killing a white man belonging to this state.
We therefore being citizens of the United States with yourselves, anticipate the evils that must necessarily flow from the impropriety of passing unnoticed such misconduct in a few individuals, acting from the meanest and basest motives, and which, as far as is known to us, appears to be totally unprovoked on the part of the Cherokees, and which may tend to defeat the treaty now on foot between the Creeks and Georgians, under the auspices of Congress; and which, from the just and peaceable dispositions of the Indian Chiefs, gives us reason to hope for the most happy effects.
We flatter ourselves this letter will have its due effect, in preventing such disorders for the future, as we can assure you on our parts, it proceeds from our sincere affection towards you, and a wish to restore peace and tranquility to all parties.
We have the honor to be, Very respectfully, &c. John Bowie, Charles Goodwin, R. A. Replay, R. G. Harper, William Shaw, A. C. Jones, Patrick Calhoun, Andrew Pickens, Robert Anderson, William Balkin, A. Hamilton, James Lincoln. Abbeville-County, South-Carolina, July 9, 1788.
On Friday the 8th of August last, a party of armed men, consisting of thirty-one, under the command of Capt. John Fain, left Holston station, on Nine-mile Creek, and crossed the river Tennessee, about eight or nine miles distant, in order to gather apples in the vicinity of an Indian town, called Cttico, lately abandoned by the Cherokees; the Indians suffered them to pass the river unmolested, and immediately, unperceived, took possession of the fort they had crossed, likewise another at a small distance above; by this time some of our people were in the orchard, and some on the trees gathering fruit, when they were suddenly attacked by a body of the Savages, on all quarters; this sudden and unexpected alarm threw them into the utmost confusion, so that every man, who did not immediately fall, endeavored to make a retreat; but the savages being in possession of the fording-places, a number took the river, and whilst endeavoring to escape by swimming, several were killed and wounded; the latter were pursued, and most of them fell a sacrifice to savage barbarity.
The following is a list of the unfortunate men killed and wounded:
Killed—John Fain, (Capt.) Caleb Jones, Joseph Alexander, Van Piercefield, William Lang, Jonathan Dean, John Braunum, William English, John Medlock, Robert Huston, George Mathews, Isaac Anderson, Charles Payne, Luther Johnson, Hermon Gregg, George Bully.
