Mr. FENNO,
I OBSERVED some shameful mis-statements of the writer in your Gazette under the signature of Phocion, respecting the conduct of Mr. Jefferson while governor of Virginia in the year 1781, and having been personally present, in actual service, through all the active scenes of that year, from its commencement, and before, until after the termination of the siege of York, I can state what that conduct really was, with more truth and certainty than either Phocion or his friend Charles Simms, neither of whom appear to know much about what they have written, and were certainly neither of them in Virginia at the period referred to. First then, it is not true that "Mr. Jefferson abandoned his post at the moment of invasion." Arnold's invasion took place in January, 1781, Mr. Jefferson remained in his station through the whole period of that invasion. Cornwallis's invasion took place in May, 1781, and he continued to advance into the country until the beginning of June, when he commenced his retreat before the Marquis Fayette into the lower country, on the sea-board, the Marquis having taken the command about two months before. Mr. Jefferson did not resign at all, or abandon his station, he remained in office until after Cornwallis's retreat, and until the time for which he was constitutionally elected, had expired, to-wit, the 12th of June, 1781. Before he left the office, however, Mr. Jefferson demanded of the legislature, a full enquiry into the conduct of the executive for the last twelve months, which was accordingly granted by the resolution of the 12th of June, 1781, and the 26th of November following appointed for the enquiry, being a period of near six months allowed to bring forward any charges or proofs against Mr. Jefferson. On the 26th of December, 1781, the assembly proceeded to take up the enquiry at large, on the report of a committee of their own body, and having first voted that no charge or accusation whatever, appeared against Mr. Jefferson, and "that there never was any cause for the enquiry, but some vague and groundless rumours," they unanimously passed the resolution of the 12th December, 1781, already published in your gazette, Mr. Fenno, and which if Phocion's candour will permit him again to read, he will find not merely an acknowledgment of Mr. Jefferson's ability and integrity, but also a full exoneration of his administration of the powers of the executive while in office."
Secondly, Mr. Fenno, it is not true that Mr. Jefferson at any time fled before a few light-horsemen, and shamefully abandoned his post, or, as suggested by Charles Simms, contributed by his conduct to the loss and distress which accrued to the state, in the destruction of the public records, and vouchers for general expenditure.—Let facts speak. In a few days after the arrival of Arnold's fleet, the enemy proceeded 150 miles up James's river, and landed his troops within 24 miles of Richmond, the night before his march to that place. All the militia of the state, which could be armed being then out, under the command of General Nelson, about sixty miles distant, in the neighbourhood of Williamsburg, and no defence at hand for the security of Richmond, but about 200 half-armed militia, under the command of Baron Steuben, who could do nothing more than cover the removal of the records and military stores across James River, from Richmond to Manchester, and secure the boats and batteaux on the Manchester side to prevent the enemy's passing; the writer of this remained in Richmond with the last detachment of militia that passed the river with records and stores, and until the enemy (about 9 o'clock in the morning) had entered the lower part of the town, and began to flank it with their light horse, he saw Mr. Jefferson as active as man could be, as well the night before, as that morning, lining his orders, and using every exertion to remove the records and stores. He afterwards saw him at Westham, five miles above Richmond, where Arnold pushed a detachment to destroy the stores at that place, and which thro' Mr. Jefferson's exertions were almost entirely saved. The next day, when the enemy evacuated Richmond, the first man the writer of this saw, as he entered the town, was Mr. Jefferson. Let a candid public then determine whether his conduct like this, to which the writer hereof was an eye-witness, manifested want of firmness, or an abandonment of trust. The situation of the State was at that time peculiarly distressing, the whole of its Continental quota of troops were then acting in South Carolina; many thousand stand of arms had been supplied for the defence of North Carolina, and Arnold's invasion found the State, almost totally defenceless. The state of things was little better in a few months afterwards when Cornwallis's invasion happened, and the Marquis Fayette took the command, since it is well known, that thro' the whole of that campaign, the Marquis thro' want of arms never had more than three or four thousand militia badly armed, in aid of the few continental troops that were detached from the Northern army to Virginia, such was the deplorable situation both of the State and Continent, for want of arms. In respect to Tarleton's sudden march to Charlottesville, during that campaign, in order to surprise the Governor and Assembly, it will be remembered that the Marquis' army was inferior to Cornwallis's, and had few or no cavalry attached to it, that at Charlottesville there was not even a single company of militia, and that Tarleton made a rapid march of about 60 miles thro' the country at the head of about 800 cavalry. The writer of this was also present at Charlottesville at the time, and saw Mr. Jefferson and his Executive Council attending their duty at that place with the Assembly; it will not be pretended then, under the circumstances stated, that Mr. Jefferson "fled before a few light horsemen, and shamefully abandoned his post," as is falsely asserted by Phocion. But, Mr. Fenno, why do the enemies of Mr. Jefferson, cavil at his honourable acquittal alone by the Assembly of Virginia, from groundless and unfounded charges? they well know that at the end of that very year, his brave and gallant successor in office, General Nelson was subjected to public accusation and impeachment before the Assembly for supposed misconduct in office, and honorably acquitted by the same body, in the same manner precisely, and with an unanimous vote of thanks, as in the case of Mr. Jefferson. No proof appeared against either, the accusation in each case was declared to be groundless, and the honorable reputation of both, stand or fall by the verdict of the same body. I leave it with a candid public to form their own reflections.
26th October, 1796.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
PHOCION—No. XI.
WE have seen that the first advice given by Mr. Jefferson to the people of Virginia, relative to the constitution, was not to adopt, but to try a second convention; his subsequent advice was, to adopt or not, on a contingency, that is, to adopt if nine states had not previously adopted, to reject, if that number of states had previously adopted, in other words, to risk an ultimate dismemberment of the states in an experiment, to obtain the alterations which he deemed necessary. On examination this advice will be found as pregnant with mischief to the United States, as it was absurd and whimsical.
If the four last deliberating states (particularly if they had happened to be states in geographical
contiguity, which was very possible) had refused to ratify the constitution, what might not have been the consequence? Would the assenting states have tamely suffered themselves to be coerced into the amendments, which the dissenting states might have dictated? Could any thing but objections to the constitution of the most tender kind have justified the hazarding an eventual schism in the union, in so great a degree as would have attended the advice given by Mr. Jefferson? Can it be denied that the person who entertained these objections was strongly opposed to the constitution?
The opponents of the constitution (or the anti-federalists as they were called) acknowledged, like Mr. Jefferson, the necessity and utility of union, and generally speaking, that the constitution contained many valuable features; like him, they only contended that it wanted some essential alterations to render it a safe and good government; like him, they only wanted a second convention, to alter the constitution, so as to remove all the objections which had been made, by what they called the people, but in truth, by a few factious disorganizers or visionary theorists in the several states.
If Mr. Jefferson's advice was not dangerous, it certainly was ridiculous in the extreme. According to that advice, the question before a state convention would not have been on the merits or demerits of the constitution, but the only question would be, in what numerical order the states should be called on to vote; if the ninth state, then it was unnecessary to discuss the merits of the instrument; it must be adopted at all events; but if the happened to be the tenth, it must then be rejected at all events, without any discussion. It would have been simply necessary to have ascertained, how many states had adopted, which fact being known, the adoption or rejection followed of course; and tho' in other cases, it should seem that the more states had adopted a measure, the stronger would be the recommendation, as an evidence of the approbation of the people, yet in this case, the ingenious Jefferson reversed the rule, and the more states had adopted, the less credit ought it to have with the remainder.
But when this very sage advice was given, it happened never to occur to its author, that two conventions might be in session at the same time, and that either of them, by its adoption, would make the ninth: what was to be done in this dilemma? if his advice was proper for Virginia, it was proper for all the other states, how would they settle the etiquette, which was to adopt without amendments, and which was to reject, to obtain them? it would have required conferences and negotiations, in which not a syllable would have been said, respecting the merits of the constitution, but the whole discussion would have turned on, which ought to adopt, to complete the magical number, nine.
If the contest had occurred between a large and a small state, Virginia and Delaware, for instance, the dispute indeed might easily have been settled; Virginia would say, do you adopt, and we'll drive them into amendments; little Delaware would not contend with the antient dominion: But a serious difficulty would have arisen, had the contest been between Virginia and Pennsylvania, and both were determined to adopt or reject: if no compact could have been concluded between them, I cannot see how Mr. Jefferson's scheme could have operated: if both refused to adopt, there would not have been the magic number; if both determined to adopt, then ten states would have adopted, and no amendments obtained.
And all this, thought Mr. Jefferson, might be accomplished with ease, and without schism! Suppose the four largest states, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New-York, had rejected the constitution, and insisted upon all the amendments which their several conventions required: is it probable that the other nine states would, without a struggle, have relinquished their opinions, and been thrown into a string of amendments, which they, in accepting the constitution, had deemed frivolous, unnecessary or dangerous? or on the other hand, had the four small states withheld their consent, in order to coerce the nine others into amendments, is it likely, the latter would have been swayed, by any apprehensions, to alter a constitution, on which they had rested their hopes of future happiness?
In reviewing the sentiments of Mr. Jefferson, respecting the constitution, we are compelled to ascribe the contradictions and absurdities they discover, to a natural unsteadiness of principle, on the subject of government, and to a disposition, which is very manifest, to please both parties, uncertain, for a time, which would preponderate. Thus his opinions, like some law cases, were often quoted by both sides. At the first appearance of the constitution, he had very serious objections to it—and recommended another convention—when he found that it was likely to be adopted, his objections diminished, and he advised the adoption by nine states—when he found that the constitution was a favorite with the people, then his objections nearly vanished, and he was content that Congress should recommend amendments where they should be found necessary, he deprecated another convention.
If at the latter stage of the business he found it expedient to acquiesce in the will of the majority, it remains to enquire, whether he has, since the operation of the federal government, continued his acquiescence, or whether, finding in this country, on his return from France, a party, unfriendly to that government and to the constitution, from which it emanated, his former enmity not broke out again, and displayed itself in hostile acts, too conspicuous to have escaped notice and censure.
To prove that Mr. Jefferson has been for many years a determined opponent of the federal constitution and of the measures which have flowed from it, under the administration of Washington, I will now proceed to show that he was the instigator and patron of the National Gazette, published in Philadelphia, the object and tendency of which were to vilify and depreciate the government of the United States, to misrepresent and traduce the administration of it (except in the single department of which
* In his letter of 28th August, 1789, says, speaking of the Bill of Rights—"However, if we do not have them now, I have so much confidence in my countrymen, as to be satisfied that we shall have them, as soon as the degeneracy of our government shall render them necessary."
he was the head) implicating in the most virulent censure the majority of both houses of congress, the heads both of the treasury and war departments, and sparing not even the chief magistrate himself; that in the support of this paper, thus hostile to the government, in the administration of which he held so important a trust, he did not scruple to apply the money of that very government; departing by this conduct from the rules of official propriety and obligation, and from the duty of a discreet and patriotic citizen.
This charge is supported in several ways.
1st. By direct proof of an official connection between the secretary of state and the editor of the National Gazette—a little antecedent to the first establishment of that paper.
2d. By direct proof, as we have seen, of the secretary's being opposed to the present government of the United States, while it was under the consideration of the people.
3d. By his avowed opposition to the principal measures which have been adopted in the course of its administration, particularly those relating to the finances.
As to the connection between the secretary of state and the editor of the National Gazette, neither of the following facts can or will be disputed.
1st. That the editor of the National Gazette was a clerk in the department of state for foreign languages, and as such, received a salary of two hundred and fifty dollars a year.
2d. That he, became so antecedently to the establishment of his Gazette, having actually received his salary from the 17th August, 1791, and not having published the first number of his paper till the 31st October following.
3d. That at the time he became so, there was another character, a clerk in the same department, who understood the French language; and that the editor of the National Gazette was a translator of that language only.
4th. That the appointment was not made under any special provision, marking out a particular clerkship of the kind, its duties, or its emoluments; but under a general authority to appoint clerks, and allow them salaries, not exceeding the average of five hundred dollars each.
5th. That the editor of the National Gazette, immediately preceding the establishment of that paper, was the superintendent or conductor of a paper belonging to Childs and Swaine, printed at New-York.
These are the facts: the conclusion is irresistible: the secret intentions of men being in the repositories of their own breasts, it rarely happens, and is therefore not to be expected, that direct and positive proof of them can be adduced.
Presumptive facts and circumstances must afford the evidence, and when these are sufficiently strong, they ought to decide.
We find the head of a department taking the editor of a Gazette into his employment, as a clerk, with a stated salary, not for any special purpose, which could not have been accomplished otherwise; for besides his own competency to translate from the French, and his general practice, he had, at the time, in his department, a clerk, who was capable of performing the very service required, and could, without difficulty, have procured others similarly qualified: nor, from any particular necessity arising from a too limited allowance, or any other cause; for he had it in his power to allow an adequate compensation to a character who might have been regularly attached to the department.
The very existence of such a connection, then, is alone a sufficient foundation for believing, that the design of the arrangement was to secure an influence over the paper, the editor of which was so employed. But the circumstances which attend it, explain the nature of it beyond a doubt. That which has been just mentioned, namely, there having been previously a clerk in the department, qualified to render the service, is a weighty one.
The coming of a new printer from another state, to institute a new paper—his having been appointed a clerk in the department prior to his removal to this city—his having been compensated before he was even present to satisfy the appearance of rendering service; these circumstances give a point and energy to the language of the transaction, which render it unequivocal. There, perhaps, never was a more flimsy covering for the pensioning of a printer. Some ostensible ground for giving him the public money, was necessary to be contrived. The clerkship of foreign languages was deemed a plausible pretext: but no man acquainted with human nature, or with the ordinary wiles of political intrigue, can be deceived by it.
The medium of negotiation between his friend, the secretary of state, and Mr. Freneau, in order to the institution of his paper, is well known, and documents are possessed which ascertain the person; but they are withheld, from particular considerations. These are the more readily yielded to, because the facts which have been stated, render it unnecessary to exhibit them. Those facts must prove, to the satisfaction of every impartial mind, that Mr. Jefferson was the instigator and patron of the National Gazette.
The complexion, a tendency of that Gazette, are sufficiently known. There was no man who loved the government, or was a friend to the public order and tranquility, but reprobated it as an incendiary and pernicious publication, and condemned it, with indignation, under the auspices under which it was supported.
It is unnecessary to add what is equally well known, that this incendiary paper expired about the time of Mr. Jefferson's retirement from office. PHOCION.

Mr. FENNO,
Will the Citizens of Pennsylvania be dictated to and controuled by the Democratic Club of the Capital, in their choice of Electors of President and Vice-President?
The foundation of the late western insurrection was laid in the publications of that club.
Previous to its breaking out—the agents of that club disseminated thro' the interior country their inflammatory address.
They stuck them up on trees—scattered them on the road; they filled every public-house with them. They were dispatched in packets by hired men by post and other conveyances. Lies and slanders formed their contents. The result is well known.
The same AGENTS OF MISCHIEF are now at work. The expence of printing handbills, &c. will amount to "some thousands of dollars."
The trees on the road, and the door and gate posts of every house through the country is placarded with the lies, abuse and slander of these enemies of the Federal Government.
Let us remember that the machinations of these same persons, have cost us one million of dollars, and many lives.
Hand Bills, Post Bills, and Pocket Bills to the amount of one hundred thousand have been already sent off by the members of the club.
If the anti-federal ticket succeeds—who governs the people?
The Democratic Club.
Mr. FENNO,
The retirement of George Washington from public life will lead to a crisis of a magnitude so interesting as to demand the serious attention of every friend to his country: for on his successor will in a great measure depend the future peace and happiness of America. If in seasons of profound tranquility, the duties of the important office of President of the United States call for much wisdom, how much more necessary will it be to fix upon a man of talents, virtue, and firmness at this eventful period, when Europe is ravaged with the flames of war, and when the peculiar features that marks the conduct of parties leaves not a doubt of the endeavors which have been used, by interesting the feelings and inflaming the resentment of our citizens, to induce a conduct on our part which must infallibly lead us into a war, ruinous in the extreme, whether attended with victory or defeat. It is not my wish, Mr. Printer, to enter into a comparison of the merits of individual candidates; events are every day arising of an important nature, and which may, between the day allotted for choosing Electors, and their meeting, have a great and leading influence on their deliberations; I only wish to call the attention of my fellow citizens to the importance of a right choice of Electors, and the necessity of their giving their votes on this occasion. The conduct of the two parties in Congress have been marked by a distinction too strong to escape observation. One of them has uniformly opposed the measures of the present Executive Government—the other has with equal firmness, and more success supported those measures. If the opposition of the one had been successful, its effects must be left to conjecture; but the beneficial effects resulting from the measures adopted by the Executive, are felt by all. It therefore rests with us to determine whether we will chuse for Electors, men who are sensible of the blessings we enjoy, and who will in the choice of President fix on a man who accords with them in sentiment, and who, following the path pointed out by our illustrious President, will consider the preservation of the peace of our country as his most important duty, and our greatest blessing—Or on men whose conduct has been uniformly marked by an opposition to the measures of our present government, and who will naturally chuse for President, a person of opinion with themselves. In a word, you are to determine whether, satisfied with the present situation of your country, you with the government to pursue their present line of conduct, or by a change hazard the consequences of a system of untried politics, which may be the ruin of your country, but which cannot increase its prosperity. A. Z.

According to the most recent letters from Italy, general Wurmsier retreated almost close to Bozen. The principal motive of this retreat is, that Tyrol is a country full of plains, from the frontiers of Italy as far as Bozen, below which the mountains rise as far as Inspruck; on the right and left there are high mountains, which may be considered as the ramparts of the capital of that country.
An Austrian Bulletin of the 18th ult. states, that to secure entirely the rear of Wurmsier's army from the side of Germany, the archduke Charles has given orders to the corps commanded by general Frolich to march towards Tyrol, which has actually been done.

At Salo and Lonado, about four hundred Hulan's horses, and eighty two pieces of the enemy's artillery were taken and brought to the French park; several pieces of ordnance still remaining submerged in the fosses are not comprized in the statement.
Two hundred and ten caissons or ammunition waggons. Six stand of colours sent to the executive directory on the 21st Thermidor, Aug. 8.
The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is estimated at about 7 or 8000 men. The number of deserters in Piedmont, and the territories of Venice and Genoa, amounts to several thousands; such was the fate of nearly the whole of the column drawn from the Austrian army of the Rhine, thirty battalions strong, the flower of the Austrian troops destined to re-conquer Italy.
Attested by the general of division, chief of the staff of the army of Italy. ALEX: BERTHIER. PARIS, September 7. The Austrian general Wurmsier, who has considerable possessions in Alsace, has been put on the list of emigrants from the department of the lower Rhine. He protested against this proceeding, but the administration of the department has confirmed his proscription.
A private letter from Rome mentions that the Belvidere Apollo is carefully packed up, and on the point of being sent off to Paris. By what route is it to reach this capital? If by land, it must of necessity be dashed to pieces on its passage over the Alps, and we shall be under the imputation of having destroyed a chef d'œuvre in the statuary art; if by sea, it runs the hazard of being taken by the English, who will have the benefit of it, while the obloquy will attach upon us.
LONDON, September 17. Yesterday we received by express the Paris journals to the 15th and those of Brussels to the 12th. By an article inserted in the latter, we are led to believe that Jourdan intended to assemble all his different corps at Frankfort, where it is probable his head-quarters are arrived by this time. Some of the letters pretend that Jourdan's retreat is only a stratagem, calculated to draw the archduke into a more fatal snare than that into which he fell by Jourdan's retreat across the Rhine at Coblenz, in the beginning of the campaign. But we do not concur in this opinion. Jourdan's letters plainly show that he has sustained several severe defeats. We do not think it improbable that either the archduke will cut off Moreau's retreat, or Moreau will cut off the archduke's. Moreau's army now becomes much more an object of interest than that of Jourdan. From the banks of the Nab to Ramelsberg, the distance which Jourdan has retreated since the archduke crossed the Danube at Ingolstadt, is full 150 miles.

Esperance, from Cherbourg, of 2 twivels and 25 men, out three days, had captured the sloop Mary Ann, of Queenborough, from Plymouth; which sloop, from the account of the prisoners, I hope to fall in with. The privateer I have sent to Portsmouth, under the charge of the Trial cutter, who I fell in with, bound to England, the same day. Childers, at sea, September 14, ten o'clock, P. M.
SIR, In addition to my letter of this morning I have the satisfaction to inform you, for their lordships' information, that this evening I fell in with and recaptured the sloop Mary Ann, of Queenborough, which was captured on Monday evening by the French privateer Bon Esperance, and which I captured this morning. The above vessel is laden with naval and ordnance stores, from Plymouth, bound to Woolwich and London. The Trial cutter being not yet out of sight, I shall direct her commander to take charge of her to Portsmouth. (Signed) S. POYNTZ. LONDON, September 19.
Mr. S. Brookes who went to the continent with Mr. Hammond is arrived from Vienna. Some dispatches were received on Saturday at Mr. Dundas's office in Parliament-street, from an officer at the Austrian head-quarters: Col. Crauford, who was the usual correspondent of the war-secretary, has met the chance of war, having been killed in one of the late battles between the Austrian and French armies.
PARIS, 28 Fructidor, Sept. 14. Drouet is stated by his friends to have been killed in the action, and interred without any mark of distinction, as a private soldier. A pretty trick this: Drouet is very well, and Couchon, who knows it, will, we trust, now and then think on him. Bertrand, mayor of Lyons, and one of the executioners of that unfortunate town, and Rigou, are among the arrested conspirators. HAMBURG, September 7. On the 4th inst. Mr. Hammond, the British Envoy to the Court of Berlin, arrived here on his way back to England.
From the Brussels Papers. VIENNA, August 29. The report which prevailed some time ago, that a Russian army of seventy thousand men was to take part in the present war, has gained farther credit. A column of those troops is said to have already entered Galicia.
HESSE DARMSTADT, Sept. 5. In the combat near Amberg, the English Colonel Craufurd lost his life: he arrived, charged with a mission to the Austrian army, at the moment while it was engaged with the French. The French General Ney was also killed on the spot.

NEW-YORK, October 27. BY THE LATE ARRIVALS. ST. ANDERO (Spain) Aug. 26. Yesterday at nine o'clock in the evening the military commanders and civil authorities of this harbour, received orders from the king of Spain to seize all the ships and effects belonging to the British nation. (Redacteur 10.)
PARIS, Sept. 14. The domiciliary visits commenced this morning. National guards are placed at the entrance of each street, whose business it is to inspect the tickets. This answers no other purpose than to confine those to their houses who do not conform themselves to the regulations. The garrison from Meaulx arrived yesterday to replace or compleat the camp at Grenelle. Within these few days, several of the members of the revolutionary committees have blown out their brains. Justice is anticipated—they saw that all the world conspired against them.
Admiral Richery, who sailed from Cadiz early in August, and of whose destination so many vague conjectures were formed, arrived at Brest about the middle of last month, with his fleet and four Spanish ships, that had accompanied him from Cadiz. General Ney, whose name is so often mentioned with applause in the details of Jourdan's army, during this campaign, was among the slain in one of the late battles.
TOULON, Fructidor 15, Sept. 1. The following is a statement of the naval forces in this harbour, extracted from the Moniteur. IN THE ROAD.
Table with 2 columns: Names of ships of the line, Guns. Includes entries for L'Orient, 120; Le Tonnant, 90; Le Formidable, 90; Le Tyrannicide, 74; Le Gemmappé, 74; Le Mont Blanc, 74; L'Aquilon, 74; Le Mercure, 74; Le Genereux, 74; L'Heureux, 74; Le Timoleon, 74; Le Jean Jacques Rousseau, 74.
IN THE HARBOR. Four ships of the line, three of which are old ones, and the superb William Tell, of 90 guns, now on the stocks.
joined with the rest of the ships, and soon observed that she was standing in and near the mouth of the Garonne. Captain Keats, however, with much address, cut her off from the entrance, having passed, with the Galatea, between the Chevrier bank and the light house: the enemy then wore ship, and stood along shore to the southward, being pursued by all the squadron, and keeping within half gun-shot of the coast. The Artois and Sylph, which had been detached to examine two large ships that appeared suspicious, continued their course in the offing, when, about 9 P. M. the horizon became dark, attended with violent squalls of extreme heavy rain, lightning and thunder, so as to oblige the Galatea, and this ship, who were nearly within shot of the frigate, to shorten sail, and keep away at times, and it was supposed she had bore up, as we lost sight of her.
I therefore stood with the Anson to the northward, thinking she might have haled her wind that way; but at day light, seeing nothing of her, tack- ed, and continued our course to the southward, until we discovered her run on shore, with the loss of her masts, within five leagues of Arcasson, and the Artois, Galatea and Sylph (who had seen her again during the night) at anchor near her, when she was boarded with much risk and gallantry, by the boats of the Artois and Galatea, under the command of lieutenants Lloyd and Carter.
It was impossible to prevent the men from endeavouring to escape on shore, although great numbers fell victims in the attempt, owing to the great surf and swell that set upon the beach, and of course many were drowned.
Her captain, and some of the principal officers, with several Portuguese prisoners, part of the crews of two Brazil ships, taken by the division to which this ship (which was named l'Andromaque, a very fine and large frigate, pierced for 48 guns, twelve pounders, most of which had been thrown overboard, and her complement 300 men) belonged, were brought on board the ships of this squadron, when she was set on fire by our people, and completely consumed before they left her.
The officers and boats crews of the above mentioned ships, behaved with the utmost activity upon this occasion. I have subjoined a list of vessels captured & burnt by the squadron under my command, as well as the division of the enemy's frigates.
I have the honour to remain, &c. &c. &c. (Signed) JOHN BORLASE WARREN.

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 drawing, will be received for any number not less than 10 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.

STOP THE THIEVES!!! LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Eller's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward. It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in detecting suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of.
One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21. d.
