Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 29.
(Communication.)
THE people of the northern states are advised to be upon their guard against the means, which are now practising to induce them to purchase lands in Pennsylvania alleged to be owned under Connecticut titles. If they should pay their money, or once give their bonds or notes of hand, they will be involved in trouble and certainly lose their property.
The court met as before. The agents for the two parties again attended. The court pronounced the following sentence and judgment, viz.
"This cause has been well argued by the learned counsel on both sides. The court are now to pronounce their sentence or judgment."
"We are unanimously of opinion, that the state of Connecticut has no right to THE LANDS in controversy."
"We are also unanimously of opinion, that the jurisdiction and pre-emption of ALL the territory lying within the charter boundary of Pennsylvania, and now claimed by Connecticut, do of right belong to Pennsylvania."
William Whipple, Welcome Arnold, William C. Houston, Cyrus Griffin, David Brearly.
Trenton, December 30th, 1782.
The court adjourned without day.
Attest.
William Whipple, President, John Nelson, Clerk.
It is well worthy of remark, that in their respective applications to Congress, Pennsylvania and Connecticut both prayed that the decree or judgment might be final and conclusive. The commission, issued in pursuance of the confederation by Congress, authorized and directed a final or conclusive decision. The articles of confederation declare, that the decisions of such courts of commissioners shall be final and conclusive. Will any prudent or worthy farmer give away the fruits of his labour and the bread of his family, for lands pretended to be held under such a title, when he can buy millions of as good lands, with good titles, for less money? Doth the seller under the Connecticut title to the unsuspecting farmer or stranger, differ from him "who leadeth the blind out of his way?"

[Continuation of foreign advices received by the ship Brisee, Capt. Breath, from Bourdeaux.]
Translated for the Daily Advertiser.
Extracts from the Courier du Corps du Legislatif, 28th May.
Military situation of the Republic, dissolution of the Armistice upon the Rhine.
The pen can scarcely follow the impetuous march of the general who in less than fifteen days hath conquered the whole North of Italy, hath vanquished one of the most famous generals, and hath struck one of those masterly strokes which hath suddenly changed the political face of Europe. Already the neighbouring powers have purchased by submission and by military contributions, the preservation of their cities: the others press forward, not merely to acknowledge the Republic, but to sue for its friendship. The court of Naples and of Rome begin to feel their most important interests. Tuscany congratulates itself upon its neutrality: Venice drives from its territories, the emigrants, together with their chief, and refuses an asylum to Beaulieu and his vanquished army. The explosion of this thunderbolt, hath rebounded on the banks of the Rhine; it hath inflamed our armies with emulation, and hath filled those of our enemies with consternation. The court of Vienna for not knowing how to renounce the possession of some ungrateful and rebellious provinces in the North, now behold the most rich and the most beautiful part of all its estates escaping from it in the South. Shaken by the same blow England in vain attempts to avenge itself of our successes by new peridies. Thus France which they would have effaced from the map of Europe, has become now the most distinguished part of it. That republic which they thought to have divided and shared, now limits the estates of its neighbours. Its immense resources, doubled by the spirit of liberty which resistance has exalted by the habit of conquests to which they have forced it, by the force, of a constitutional government which they have strengthened by attempting to overturn, now assure to it an influence as extensive as splendid. While we are yet wondering at the inconvincible rapidity with which the Sardinian and Austrian armies have been overthrown by the first shock of our warriors, armies whose union formed a mass so formidable for its numbers, but which appeared weak to those who contemplated the superiority of freemen over slaves! While we are yet admiring the skill with which they were separated from each other, by the manoeuvres of our generals, and successively destroyed—While these splendid scenes are yet before our eyes, should they not inspire us with hopes that our numerous and warlike armies on the Rhine will soon satisfy that impatient desire of victory which a noble emulation hath excited in the breasts of those heroes who compete them, and that by a heroism equal to that of their brothers in Italy, they will shortly subjugate a
river yet famous for the battles by which the ancient Gauls rendered its banks illustrious.
BRUSSELS, 4 Prarial, 23d May.
All the Austrian troops which are in the environs of Siegbourg d'Erenbeitein, and of Neuweid, after having received orders from the Archduke Charles, marched suddenly for the Upper Rhine, in order to cross that river, and to march them to Hundstruck. They have only left upon the Lower Rhine about 12 or 14,000 men, divided into several small corps. Persons think they perceive in these new arrangements, an understanding with the king of Prussia, who according to authentic letters from Wetzlar, has engaged to prevent the French from penetrating into Germany by the dutchy of Berg, which they might easily effect. According to the same letters the Prussian, Hanoverian, Hessian, and Brunswick troops, are in motion from all parts, to repair to their rendezvous. They in the whole, amount to about eighty thousand soldiers, of which one-fourth are cavalry. The duke of Brunswick has definitively accepted the command. Upon the whole, notwithstanding the reserves of the Austrians in Italy, it does not appear probable that a peace will soon take place—the preparations for war are re-houbed on all sides, and the campaign on the Rhine is considered as ready to be opened. It appears that the armistice will be broken as soon as the Austrian army is united for the protection of the interior of Germany.
Letters from Coblenz mention, that General Jourdan having received advice that the Austrians had marched considerable forces in the environs of Nahe, upon the Hundstruck, and generally upon the whole of the Upper Rhine, had on his side detached several large bodies of infantry and cavalry to reinforce the army under the command of the general of division Marceau.
The final suppression of all the Abbeys, religious corporations, and generally of all the clergy, is decided for the nine re-united departments, and is soon to be executed. They have already begun to make preparations for putting this law in execution. It appears that the French government is determined to place us on the same footing with the other departments.
VIENNA, May 3.
Great changes have taken place in the ministry. The Baron de Thugut, formerly minister of foreign affairs, is nominated minister of the Cabinet Council—The Count de Lehrbach has succeeded him in the office of foreign affairs. The Count de Rosenberg, chancellor of the court, is nominated minister of conferences, and the Count Collondo, G. Chamberlain.
The unexpected events of the Milanese have determined the court to send with the utmost expedition to the army of Beaulieu, all the garrisons, not only of Tyrol, but also the troops of Stirre, of Carinthia, of Carniole, &c. &c. It is even feared that they will not arrive in time to check the impetuosity of the French, the consequences of which are dreaded.
The Court of Vienna, alarmed by these successes, is laid, sent orders to General Wurmer to detach 4000 men from his army to reinforce that of Beaulieu, which has retired under Montona; at the same time to march six battalions, drawn from Hungary, to the same place. To hasten the march of these troops, they have ordered a number of waggons to follow, to carry their arms and baggage.
If we are to believe a report which gains credit daily, the courts of Turin and Florence, detached from the coalition, will not be allowed to hold a neutrality inconvenient to the French Republic, victorious over its enemies. The peace with the king of Sardinia leaves no doubt with respect to those opposed to the French—but they add that the French government has demanded from the Tuscan government, that they shall no longer give a partial asylum in its ports to the English squadron which hath been hitherto plainly protected, even in maritime violences, against the French cruisers in the port of Leghorn.
It follows, from the actual situation of the Italian States, that they will find themselves obliged to renounce the apparent neutrality which they have affected, if they would wish to avoid having the French for their enemies and conquerors.
PARIS, 17th Prarial (26th May.)
Never perhaps was the general opinion of the French people less equivocally shewn than at the present momentous crisis—hatred for the Jacobins, the fear of falling under their domination, joy at being freed from it by the wisdom and vigilance of government, appeared evidently on the first information of the conspiracy. The general will of the people thus uniformly directed the measures of administration. The department of Marine distinguished itself above the rest by a proclamation full of wisdom, and which merits being announced in all the Journals. The excellent administrators of that department made an appeal to all good citizens—they have made a permanent sitting, and have given the most explicit orders to have a watchful eye upon all strangers, vagabonds, and upon all anarchists, who there, as here, for a few days raised their audacious heads, and who since their discovery are again plunged in their caverns. At the end of the address is a proclamation of the same magistrates, informing the people of the danger which they have run, and of the precautions taken by the magistrates to prevent them in future. "Citizens (it is said in this proclamation) "it is not in blood and carnage that a Republic is founded; it is raised by courage, and it is not preferred but by virtue—Mistrust those hypocrites who fondling your trifling ills and your resentments, accusing the government of the evils of a Decemviral reign, invite you to change; those who would lead you from revolution to revolution are assassins; they are your implacable enemies, who wearied of no longer being permitted to oppress you, would wish to overturn the magistrates chosen by you, putting themselves in their places, that they might sell to you the execution of the laws. Your enemies are those who, gorging with wine and thirsting for blood, sigh vehemently after that infernal constitution which would again invigorate those abandoned wretches who have been overthrown by the government."
wretches who have been overthrown by the government."
If the conspiracy of Babeuf is a conspiracy of royalism, as there has been discovered some political buffoons in it, government may rest assured, that the nation wishes neither for royalism or anarchism. They wish ardently for a government, because without it there can be neither peace nor safety. They wish a government just and wise, because without it there is neither liberty nor happiness.

Extract of a letter from the General of Division, Dumesny to the Members of the Executive Directory.
Head Quarters of Aleneon, 20th Floreal. "I inform you with pleasure, Citizen Directors, that from the first Pluviose, to the twenty fifth current, the Chouans have lost in the eastern division of the army of the sea-coast, 2,800 men, and that nearly an equal number have been wounded.

AGREABLE INTELLIGENCE.
Alicant, May 10, 1795.
The cloud which lately obscured the negotiations between the United States and Algiers, is entirely dissipated: A letter from one of the first houses in Alicant, says, "Our subsequent letter will advise you, of the final settlement between the United States and the Regency of Algiers—all vessels for here are now safe."
RETROSPECT.
More tranquil than Europe, America lives in peace. Full well persuaded of the difference between the beginning and end of a war, she sees and fears the event, when her passions bid her begin. Restrainted by her prudence, and obstinate to persist in it, she is enriched by her caution, and profits from the folly of more ancient nations. Agriculture invites her thousands, and asks every stranger she can solicit to her regions. Commerce invites her fails to the riches of every clime, and the arts are waiting her necessities, to be busy at every wheel for her support. May the guardian angel of Columbia continue to us these inestimable blessings which have reared her to her present zenith of prosperity and respectability!
NEWBURYPORT, July 23.
Last Wednesday, Capt. Seward arrived here, 8 days from Bermuda, bringing information that the inhabitants of that place were expecting attachments from the court of Great-Britain, on their private estates, to refund the property belonging to American citizens, which had been illegally taken and unlawfully condemned by their courts of Vice Admiralty. They had stopped the sales of several cargoes, one of which was that of the Caroline, of this port. Those articles that were sold were prohibited exportation by a very heavy duty.
CONFIRMATION.
Thursday last. Gunton arrived, 19 days from Guadalupe. July 9, lat. 27, boarded by a Bermudian privateer, papers examined, dismissed, and informed that American property in future would not be stopped as they were not allowed to liberate it at Bermuda.
FRANCE.
The Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, to all the Mariners of the Military posts, belonging to the French Republic.
I learn with the utmost astonishment, that the honorable obligation, the sacred duty of every sailor to perish if necessary, in order to preserve the convoy for the protection of which he is employed, (as in shipwrecks a captain is bound to preserve his crew as well as himself), I learn, I say, that this duty so essential to your functions, is not performed by some among you.
I learn likewise, that the military commanders have dared to boast of having escaped from the enemy, by abandoning both their post and their convoy, which they should have defended to the last, under pretence of its being of more importance to the Republic to preserve its military marine.
Thus prejudices always tend to supply the place of principles; thus the veil of prudence often conceals a want of energy.—Well, what would you think of one of our brave armies, should it abandon the magazines of the Republic, and fly before the enemy, only to preserve to its country a few regiments? Do not you perceive then, that far from benefiting the Republic, by leaving merchant ships for the sake of benefiting those of the state, you strike the most fatal blow to its prosperity. It is just the same as if a man should suffer his heart to be pierced in order to save his arm. Citizens, the marine is the arm, commerce is the heart.
But it is necessary that I should recal to you the end of your institution? How have you, who are the children of commerce, been able to forget, that it is commerce alone which constitutes the soul of the marine: you who have been created only to protect the marine trade, its vessels and establishments, as the gendemerie had been instituted and spread over the country, only to defend and convoy the interior trade?—Besides, need it be repeated to you, that without trade there would be no occasion for a marine. These are truths so apparent, and principles so simple, that the ignorance of them is scarcely to be endured—how blameable therefore, are those by whom they are unknown.
Mariners, it is my duty, and assuredly I will perform it, to oppose myself, with all the force of instruction and authority, in order that the prejudices of the ancient marine may not exist in the new. No! the absurd and pernicious system of considering commerce as subordinate to the marine, shall never be adopted under a Republican regiment.
I entreat you, Citizens, to reflect with the greatest attention upon the principles I have laid down for you, that the rewards of Government will not be bestowed but on account of the services which you shall render to its trade, and believe me I will
make it my sole happiness to obtain them for you.
Your duties being thus pointed out, I trust you will render any for her comment upon them unnecessary; and I conjure you, in the name of the law, to preserve your convoys above every thing.
Philadelphia, July 29.
On the 22d Inst. died in this city, just at the close of her 68th year, Mrs. REBECCA DOZ, widow of the late Mr. Andrew Doz; and on Saturday evening her remains were most respectfully attended to Christ Church burying ground. Her several departments in life she had uniformly fulfilled, not only with a conscience void of offence, but with that felicity of manner, which gave pleasure to every one concerned. Firmness of mind, gentleness, discretion, tenderness perception of human distress, wherever she saw or heard of them; and a readiness to relieve according to her ability, were some of the distinguished traits in her character. Devoutly resigned to the will of the Almighty, possessing peace and exemplary patience, which forsook her not a moment, during a long extremely painful illness, she exhibited manifest proofs of the confolations of religion, such as a person happy enough to be the subject of them, might be expected to give.
MR. FENNO,
'TWERE greatly to be wished that Admiral Mann would permit Monsieur Richery to go about his business. It would really be a great relief to have the Admiral removed from that port whence have issued so many fleets of lies in consequence of his being there. The princess in particular would be relieved from the necessity of publishing every three weeks a fresh story of Admiral Richery's having arrived in the West Indies. The publication too of "Authentic Intelligence" one day, of this event, and the anticipation of the consequent reduction of all the British conquests, and the entire contradiction of the authentic intelligence next day, would also be at an end.
Although it is not doubted but some other source would be discovered from whence to derive means of humbugging mankind; yet a very fertile one would certainly be removed, and we should at least have a little of variety to amuse us.
"Knaves of all Countries, are the same."
It appears by the last accounts from Paris, that the nefarious faction which lately conspired against the Constitution of that Republic, assumed to themselves the appellation of EXCLUSIVE PATRIOTS. It is remarkable, that the faction which has been laboring for several years past, to subvert the constitution of the United States, have long since, in effect, assumed the same title.
The following extract contains a sample of unintelligible jargon, which we believe has seldom been exceeded.
From the ARGUS.
CITIZEN GREENLEAF,
WHOEVER considers with the least coolness the temper which prevails on the powerful public characters of the Union, will perhaps agree with the disguised sentiments and conduct of those who support their culpable indifference, that we could not be much worse circumstanced had the Revolution never taken place, than as men and members of society we now are.
I know, that you will not agree with me, and I am aware that the generality of honest-thinking men prefer the independence which they now enjoy, to that obsequious and limited state of life which we should undergo, were we now the humble Colonists of the mild and benevolent government of Great-Britain.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE: And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawings, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington: Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off:—The money prizes will be payable in 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 ending of the drawing, 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 amount 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 number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects 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 inor. suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
