A very valuable MERCHANT MILL, DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and fundry STONE QUARRIES to be let. I will rent my merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two overshot 18 feet water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expense as possible, all in good order. From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft, of any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 10 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall. There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three fills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the same term of years. Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may lead with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation-stones. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may best suit. On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the soil of which is equal in goodness to any in this state. I will also rent this property. Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman. It rents out the stone quarries, I will sell three crafts, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone: they will altogether bring upwards of 90 perch. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town. The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, 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 entrance 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 nett 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 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 resided in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to take this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public as a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University, and 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 suspension indispensable.

CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 30.
The Pacha of Acha, surnamed Gezzar or the Ravenous , to designate his ferocious character, has raised the standard of rebellion in Asia, because he had been displaced by the Grand Signior, who justly felt indignant at the cruelties committed by that monster in the government under his orders.
The Pacha having fortified Acha, has put himself at the head of a band of brigands, and took the towns of Kaffa and Rama, which form part of the government of Damask; he spreads devastation and death in those unfortunate countries.
Thirty years ago, this individual was Bey (Governor of a town or province in Egypt) of Cairo; he stirred up a rebellion against the famous Aly Bey , then Governor of Egypt, and put him in prison; but being subdued by the other Beys he fled to Damask, where he afterwards kept a coffee-house. The Pacha of Damask, who knew his military talents, employed him during the war against the Russians, and charged him to fortify and defend the port of Bayruti; he built a fortress, and it was here that he got the surname Gezzar , or the Ravenous , because he had ordered a great number of people to be buried in the fosse of the fort. When peace was restored, the Turkish Admiral, who had been acquainted with him in Egypt, gave a very favorable account of his operations at Bayruti, and had him appointed Governor of Acha and Pacha of Sidon and Tyrus.
The English General, Cook , has received orders from the Grand Signior, to leave the territory of the Ottoman Empire. This order was given in consequence of some violent disputes between the Turkish Minister and that General.

LYCEUM OF ARTS.
Public Sittings of April 19.
This was the 41st public sitting since the establishment of the Lyceum, and the fourth anniversary since its first opening. This interesting epocha has been justly celebrated. When the secretary general observed, that by preferring that establishment the only object and the only recompence of the Lyceum had been, to be useful and preserve the esteem of the public, an unanimous applause marked the unequivocal approbation of the whole assembly.
Among the different subjects treated on we remark the following—
A report of Daret on a new method of embellishing earthen-ware, invented by citizen Olivier , manufacturer in the suburb Antoine . A civic crown was granted for this invention.
Report of Malherbes on the economical method of spinning invented by Tremble , mechanician; and on an improvement of the double cranes employed for unloading vessels. [A medal.]
Report of Vauquelin and Lagrange , on the new method of tanning by means of which the best quality of leather can be tanned within 10 days or 20 at the most, although the same could not be done formerly in less than two or three years. The manufacture established at Seves , by Sequin , the inventor of the new method, is actually in a state to tan per annum 88,000 hides of oxen and 400,000 small skins, of cows and calves. [Civic crown.]
The sitting terminated with new experiments made by Vauquelin and Fourcroy on the detonation effecting by the dashing of muriate against oxygene of potash mixed with sulphur and charcoal.
The experiments were perfectly executed by Bouillon , La Grange . [ Aurora .]

DOVER, June 14.
Extract of a letter from Vice-Admiral Sercey , commander of the division sent to India, to the Minister of Marine and Colonies.
Canary Isles, 12th Germinal.
"We arrived here the 26th of last month, the thirteenth day after leaving Rochefort, after a pleasant passage, all well. In our road, by one of those happy chances which Providence reserves for Republicans, we met an English ship bound for Martinique, laden with all kinds of provisions, and we have taken her. So that we shall economise our stores, and live, for some time, at the expence of the enemy; for, upon computation, I find that this vessel will furnish us with biscuit for one month—and meat, &c. for two. We hope to meet by and by with some vessel that shall find us in drink. We have made use of our leisure here in exercising all our people, and our pains are repaid. We put in here to wait for the frigate La Vertu , which we had left at Rochefort. She joined us yesterday, after a passage of 10 days. We sail this day. A perfect Union, entire submission to the laws of discipline, constant love for the Republic, unanimous wish for the stability of the Constitution and of the government, an ardent desire of making them known and respected in the part of the world to which we are going. Such is the disposition with which we set off. We set sail, grateful for the hospitable reception which the Spaniards have given us here."
LONDON.
Court of King's Bench, June 16.
GAMING.
BADIOLI v. OLDNO.
This was an action for money had and received for the plaintiff's use.
Mr. Garrow stated his client, Mr. Badioli , to be a very respectable man, who had lived many years in this town, and had acquired, by his industry, a handsome fortune.
The defendant kept a gaming-house, at No. 29, Oxendon-street .
He was certain the jury and every body would agree with him as to the importance of this action. The plaintiff had in his house, and educated under his care and protection a grandson, not yet arrived at age, who, after he had finished his education, was taken into business by Mr. Badioli , and was afterwards to be furnished with the means of living by his own industry.—This young man had the misfortune to be enticed into one of those numerous gambling-houses, which form the pest and destruction of the young men of the times in which we live. He there lost a great deal of his grandfather's money, and of course could not come out without those arts which undermined every thing that was valuable in the human mind. He lost at this house £. 161. 14. the sum for which this action was brought. If he made out by fair legal evidence that that sum of money had been lost at the defendant's gaming table, justice, common sense, and law said the plaintiff was entitled to recover it back again. The effect of a few verdicts against such men, would be extremely beneficial to the public, inasmuch as it would make the keeping of gambling houses an unprofitable trade, and therefore they would shut their doors against young men, and betake themselves to something better.
The learned counsel hoped the jury, by their verdict, would convince such defendants, at least that they were not superior to the laws, and make them feel that the keeping of such houses was a losing trade.
M. Wilton was here called on the part of the plaintiff, and said, he was the grandson of Mr. Badioli , and lived as servant with him, in the month of June, 1795. He lost to Mr. Oldno , the defendant, the sum of 161. 14. at No. 29, Oxendon-street . He lost it playing at Rouge et Noir . The defendant was there, and, after the game was over, put the money of the bank, as well as the money he had won, into a bag. During play, when any thing was wrong, the defendant directed the table. There were a great many other people here. He always saw Oldno there. He saw him there after he had lost his grandfather's money.
On his cross examination, he said, his grandfather was an oilman, and he was his servant, and acted in his shop. He never rendered his grandfather an account, because he kept no till. He robbed him of 500. between the month of June and the month of September following.—Among other things, he discounted two notes, the one for 100. and the other for 80. which he took out of a book belonging to his grandfather.
Mr. Erskine was Counsel for the defendant, and said, he was certain, his Lordship and the gentlemen of the jury would join in giving him full credit for the sincerity of those observations he had made on that important subject, when engaged for plaintiffs. He did not then feel any disposition, interest, or duty to contradict any one of those observations. That the existence of gaming-houses was the pest and destruction of the rising generation, of the young men of this age; and that they were extremely dangerous to the community of which we were all members, he had no inclination to dispute. But he knew his Lordship too well; and he had no doubt that, before the sittings were over, he should likewise know the jury too well, to suppose their laudable attempts to prevent the destruction of the community by gambling, would at all alter the ordinary administration of justice, or the rules of evidence as applicable to that administration. Because there were gaming-houses in this town, which deserve to be reprobated, did it therefore, follow, that, on slight evidence, any one subject of the community was to be pitched upon by such a witness as they had heard, and to have taken out of his pocket so large a sum of money, on the single oath of such a man? If that witness had been a young man of irreproachable life, conversation and character, the case would be extremely different. But, on his own testimony, he had no morality at all, and had violated every rule of affection, most undoubtedly, which nature had implanted in him. He took his grandfather's money and applied it to his own use. He therefore stood in the most suspicious situation. He now wished to get back part of that large sum of money of which he had robbed his grandfather, and a great part of which he had
expended on other pleasures, at brothels, &c. It was therefore extremely dangerous to rely on the evidence of such a man, unsupported by any other testimony.
Two witnesses were called on the part of the defendant, who gave their evidence in such a manner, that
Lord Kenyon told the jury, he thought they ought to pay no credit to it. His Lordship was certain they would find a great deal of pleasure, as far as the administration of justice could do it, to check this growing and monstrous evil.
Verdict for plaintiff—161. 14s.

BURDON v. CARTWRIGHT.
This was an action for damages against the defendant, for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The declaration contained also a count for seducing the plaintiff's wife away from her husband, and harbouring her, &c.
The first witness proved, that the plaintiff and his wife lived happily together, and had three children.
It appeared afterwards in evidence, that the defendant had been married to the plaintiff's sister, but she was dead.
Some time ago the plaintiff's wife quitted her husband, and went to live with the defendant, passing as the defendant's sister, who had come from the country, 300 miles off. The defendant invited a gentleman and his lady, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher , to dine with him and the plaintiff's wife, whom he called his sister—While they were at dinner, the plaintiff came in and addressed his wife, asking where he had been, and where her ring was? she pulled it out of her pocket. He invited her to return home with him. The defendant laid to her, "Mary, if you have any thing to say to this man, go into another room, and do not disturb my company."
The plaintiff and his wife then went away together, and she staid with her husband about a fortnight, but then returned to the defendant; immediately afterwards this action was brought. There was no evidence whatever of any Adultery.
Mr. Erskine made a very able and eloquent speech for the defendant. He produced a letter which the plaintiff wrote to the defendant after his wife went home with him, thanking him for the care he had taken of his wife. He then produced another letter, and proposed to read it in evidence; it was a letter from the plaintiff's wife to the defendant, whereby she complained of her husband's treatment towards her; but Lord Kenyon decided, that it could not be read in evidence, for that the wife could not, in any manner, be evidence in this action. One witness proved, that the wife had, for several years, complained of the ill-treatment of her husband.
Lord Kenyon observed to the Jury, that this was a blended action; that of adultery and seduction—of the adultery there was no evidence, and therefore they would dismiss that part of the case; but of the seduction there was abundant proof, and that was as much an attack on the plaintiff's comfort and peace of mind, as adultery could be. If the wife had any reason for quitting her husband, she should have gone to her mother. The defendant had no business to harbour her.—The jury would therefore consider what damages they would give.
Verdict for the Plaintiff—damages 200l.
NAPLES, May 4.
In spite of the horrible inquisition established by the Minister, and the numberless arrests that have taken place, people still talk here of the disorders of the army of the coalition, and murmur at the obstinacy of the Government. The refusal of the mediation of Spain, and all the misfortunes of the State, are attributed to the Queen, who has always sacrificed the interest of Naples to the views of her family, and the same remarks are made upon her conduct as those of the people of Paris on her unfortunate sister. Preparations of war are still going on, but the fermentation increases. The troops in Naples so far from being sufficient to oppose the French, will scarcely be able to maintain order and tranquility. Among the persons arrested are almost all the men of letters, and a crowd of monks and ecclesiastics. The Abbe Vechietti is dead in prison, after having drank a bowl of chocolate, in which it is suspected that poison had been infused. It is not known whether a number of state prisoners of distinction and rank, who were persecuted are still alive. The numbers arrested in Naples and Sicily are estimated at 14,000. If the Government be compelled to enlarge all whom it has proscribed, a revolution is inevitable.
TYROL, May 25.
Different proclamations have appeared within these few days, announcing the energy with which the Government is adopting the proper measures for securing this country from invasion. One of these proclamations, dated Innsbruck , the 21st of May, begins in the following manner:
"We must unite all our efforts to save the country. It is essentially necessary to the maintenance of religion, the constitution, the property, and every thing that is most dear. We have an entire confidence in the tried courage of the Tyrolese nation, which conjointly with the Imperial troops who are this moment entering the country, are in a condition to check the enemy if they should attempt an invasion. But to this end provisions and money are necessary; the former cannot be procured without a sufficiency of the latter."
The Proclamation then goes on to recommend the instant converting of the church plate into money. Private persons are also invited to send their plate to the mint, and their arms.
A second Proclamation was issued on the 22nd establishing the manner of transmitting the church and private plate, and the nature of the obligations to be delivered for them.
VIENNA, May 16.
The Imperial proclamation relative to the new acquisitions in Poland has been published at Vienna on the 11th inst. and runs as follows:
Whereas circumstances have led to a total dismemberment of the kingdom of Poland, and whereas we have in consequence given orders to take for-
mally possession of the districts fallen to our share by virtue of the treaties of partition concluded with the Imperial court of Russia and the royal court of Prussia. We have therefore appointed the Baron de Margelich our commissary plenipotentiary, and charged him to take the preparatory steps for the organization of all the branches of the administration of those provinces which are incorporated with our monarchy, as part of our kingdoms of Galicia and Lodomeria, and this, in our opinion, will tend to the advantage of the subjects.
We now ordain to all the subjects and inhabitants of this new acquisition, whatever their rank and occupation may be, to the clergymen as well as to laymen to the magistrates of cities, in short to every one without exception, to recognize the appointed commissary plenipotentiary in that quality, and to execute punctually whatever he shall ordain in our name. The time for administering the solemn oath of allegiance will afterwards be fixed; nevertheless, all the inhabitants under our sovereignty, and protection are bound to obey and behave as if they had already sworn the oath of fidelity and submission, and therefore the Polish coat of arms ought every where to be taken down and that of our Imperial and Royal majesties substituted. No tribunal ought in future to administer justice, or pronounce judgment under any of our sovereign names. And lastly we ordain also that the public prayers in the churches be made for us and our illustrious house of Austria. By executing all this faithfully, the inhabitants will render themselves worthy, and partakers of our royal favour, as on the contrary those who against our expectations should oppose the said regulations or any other arrangement, that may in the process of time be taken, must accuse themselves if we shall find ourselves obliged against our will to employ rigorous measures, and the severity of justice instead of the lenity with which we are used and inclined to treat all our subjects.
FRANCISCUS II.
May 19.
We hear from Cracow, that on the 27th the Imperial Commissioner Baron de Margelich has formally taken possession of that city, in the name of the Emperor. The troops were in parade, as well as the Jews, the magistrates, the university, and the Chanoines. The bishop received the commissioner in the Cathedral where a throne was erected for him. The Baron caused the decree of the court which authorised him to take possession of Cracow, to be read, and then the clergy and the [Austrian] troops paid homage to him as the representative of their sovereign. The Polish arms were afterwards taken down and those of Austria substituted. The ceremony ended with a dinner of 80 covers which was followed in the evening by an illumination through the city. It was remarked that the house of the Russian General Lafey was the best illuminated.
Accounts from Ukrania mention that the four Russian armies of 35,000 men each, which are destined to protect the frontiers towards Turkey, will unite and form but one army; other irregular troops viz. Cossacks , Calmuks and Bachirs will join this army, so that it will be encreased to 160,000 fighting men under the order of Marshal Suwarow . The accounts add, that a train of 720 pieces of artillery is to be transported to the banks of the Dniester .
May 27.
The alarm disseminated by the approach of the French, is deeply felt in every state of Italy. The little republic of Lucca expressed its inclination to rise in arms; but the peasants, who, in this affair at least, were wiser than their Lords, resisted the design, stating, that they were confident they should be safe at any time by delivering a few pictures from the collections of the wealthy.
The Venetians were assembled in what is termed the Pregadi upon the same business. The sittings lasted three days. The object was to determine whether they should arm to make their neutrality respected.
The young Senators, probably allured by the influence of appointment or the glitter of arms, recommended an armed force with strenuous and ardent eloquence.
But the elder and wiser Senators overruled them in the debate; and produced a decree, importing, that they would arm only sufficiently to preserve internal tranquility, seeing that to oppose, in the States of the Republic, the progress of either the French or Austrian armies, required more troops than they were able to raise.
It is therefore only with paper protests of the territorial rights of states, and imprecisable rights of men, that the Venetians will meet either the facile French, or the disappointed and irritable Austrians.
During the late engagements in Italy, Beaulieu must have been in the most dreadful situation. He had no more than 16,000 men, when he was compelled to throw 10,000 men into Mantua , upon his retreat into the Tyrol . In that country the late movements had caused a scarcity so extreme, that they were compelled to exclude all strangers from the Tyrolese.
AUGSBURG, May 22.
The French in the city of Milan , pass their time with the utmost gaiety and festivity. Plays are acted and balls and entertainments given every night.
MADRID, April 26.
Signor Perignon , the French Ambassador, went on the 18th to Aranquez , where the court resides, to present his credentials. His train was magnificent, four cabinet messengers preceded, and the persons in his suite followed him in four superb carriages. The ceremony being over, the Prime Minister, Prince della Paz , entertained the Ambassador with a splendid dinner, where the members of the cabinet and the first nobility assisted.
LISBON, April 12.
A Negro Prince, son of the King of Porto Novo , on the coast of Mina , was christened on the 2d inst. in the Royal Chapel by his Eminence the Cardinal Patriarch , in the presence of the first officers of the court and other illustrious persons. The Prince of Brasil having stood god-father on the occasion, the Negro Prince received the name of

John Anthony de Braganza; her Majesty decorated him with the order of Christ, and his interpreter, Lewis G. dell' Ascensione, with the order of St. Jago. Friday following the Negro Prince, after having taken leave of their Royal Highnesses, went on board a vessel which is to carry him to the bay.
HAMBURGH, June 7.
The war on the side of the Rhine promises to be extremely bloody, if we may judge from the Proclamation of the French Directory, as well as that of the arch-duke Charles, which is deserving of attention. Enclosed is an extract of a private letter from Switzerland, dated May 26: "The good understanding between France and Switzerland begins to be re-established, and we learn that no camp of Swiss troops will be formed near Bâle. The cantons of Fribourg and Soleure have ordered all the French emigrants to withdraw from their territories, and have acknowledged Barthelemi as ambassador of the French Republic."
LONDON, June 6-7.
Yesterday an account was received at the Admiralty from Cadiz, containing advice that Admiral Mann, having taken on board four months provisions and water at Gibraltar, had returned his station before the Spanish port, that Admiral Richery, with his squadron, was ready to put to sea; and a Spanish squadron was likewise ready to sail, at the same time. Admiral Mann, apprized of this circumstance, had sent a message to the Spanish Admiral, that it was his intention, at all events, to attack the French ships, the moment they should get clear of the neutral port; and that if they were at all assisted by the Spaniards, they must answer for the consequences.
A letter from Leghorn, of the 6th ult. states, that Sir Gilbert Elliot had caused the Corsican insurgents, to the number of 4000, to be attacked with great vigour; and that a considerable body of them having been taken by surprise, in the vicinity of Ajaccio, a desperate action ensued, in which the rebels were defeated with great loss, and a number of prisoners made, who are to be immediately tried as traitors.
Saturday two of the rioters at the Husting, Covent Garden, who had been for several days noticed amongst the most forward in menacing Admiral Gardner with clenched fists and opprobrious language, were taken before a Magistrate, and after a full examination, not being able to give a good account of themselves, and no creditable person appearing in their behalf, were ordered on board a King's ship; and it was recommended by the Magistrate to send them on board Admiral Gardner's flag ship.
That Mr. Horne Tooke in his daily addresses to the multitude surrounding the Husting at Westminster, should attempt to poison the minds of the people, and by the most inflammatory speeches, excite them to acts of riot and disorder disgraceful to Englishmen, surprises no-body; but, that Mr. Fox can descend to follow so contemptible an example, is matter of astonishment to all, and to the respectable part of his friends, a subject of deep regret and mortification.
June 21.
A few nights since the Bristol and Birmingham mail coach arrived at the Hop-pole, in Tewkesbury, about twelve o'clock, with four inside passengers, consisting of three gentlemen and a lady, when one of the gentlemen and the lady getting out, left an old gouty gentleman and another passenger behind in the coach. Fresh horses being put to, the guard and coachman went into the house to take a little refreshment, when the horses set off full speed, and passing through the turnpike gate, which was open, went on for Gloucester, and passed along the various turnings with as great regularity as if the coachman had been on the box. After going almost eight miles, to the no small terror of the passengers, they met the other mail coach, the guard of which, observing that no coachman was on the box, he went on with the coach towards Bristol. One of the passengers, just before they met the other mail coach, was so much frightened that he jumped out, and was much hurt. The old gouty gentleman, being unable to follow him was obliged to stay behind, and was several times heard on the road, by different persons, crying out murder.

FRIDAY EVENING, August 26.
The President of the United States yesterday received the Chevalier Martinez De Trazo, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from his Catholic Majesty to the United States of America.
Extract of a letter from a Respectable Merchant in London, to a House in this city.
"I do not regret the treatment of Mr. Jay's Treaty. It was not what it ought to have been, and might have been, as is generally believed here. The spirit of the Representatives will be a lesson to future treaty makers. One thing I cannot but express a degree of astonishment at, and that is the dread your papers were full of—of a war in consequence of the rejection of the treaty. This country has more than enough of war already, and America will ever derive more justice from firmness, than by any expressions of fear."
REMARKS.
Nothing can be more absurd than to suppose that the heroes of the American Revolution were afraid of Great Britain. No, this was not the question with the statesmen, the patriots of our country.—War or negotiation were the alternative.—Not that Great Britain would declare war against the United States, but, that, unless she would consent to do us justice, we should unavoidably be compelled to declare war against Great Britain.
The "treatment of Mr. Jay's treaty" has been the means of encreasing the public expenses of the United States enormously—and now—its opposers are trying to persuade the people, that they never intended to set it aside! Let the people beware of such wolves, who are thus arraying themselves in sheep's skins.
With respect to the above letter, its authenticity may well be doubted when the composition is taken into view. It is however singular that certain persons who feel that their opposition to the treaty has rendered them odious to the independent and free citizens of the United States should seek for apologists among the English, whom they have been in the habit of abusing for two or three years past.
Extract from a New-Hampshire Paper.
France has been styled the "torrid zone of liberty"—in such a climate the growth of weeds must be luxuriant—and though our Jacobin naturalists are continually endeavouring to describe them as innocuous, we have abundant proof, that they are impregnated with the most deleterious qualities, and like the poison tree of Java, would, if not checked, spread death and desolation over the fair earth country.

LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY. Extract from the Oration delivered by the President of the Popular Society of Milan, in the square of the Cathedral, the 17th May, 4th year of the French Republic, and first day of Lombardian Liberty.
TO THE PEOPLE.
Citizens,
THE French have broken the fetters which for so many centuries have weighed heavy on us; they have put to flight the cowardly satellites of the Austrian tyrant, and by the valour of a free people we also become free.
The emblems of liberty already wave in the air. This tree which we have just raised in the midst of plaudits and of the transports of joy of an immense concourse of people, announces to all our future regeneration.
Citizens,
By this festival, by these emblems, we declare that we are free; but shall we be free with sufficient energy? Shall we determine to imitate the generous people that has driven away our tyrants; and shall we be animated by the sacred fire of Liberty; shall we prefer death to submission to a new yoke? Yes, Lombards! Let us swear to live free or die.
Let us hasten, Lombards, to accomplish this great work; let us declare unanimously, that we will be free; let us shew ourselves worthy of being free, and we shall be so in reality. Let Religion and Liberty go hand in hand. Yes! Let Tyrants tremble at the sacred name of LIBERTY; and far from submitting to new chains, let the vociferous Eagle return affrighted to his enslaved country.
(Signed)

Liberty, Equality, Safety to Persons and Property. CITIZENS LOMBARDS,
Lombardy, ci-devant Austrian Lombardy, after having experienced during so many centuries the oppressive yoke of a number of usurpers, who have mangled it even to destroying the name of its ancient origin, has at last reverted into the hands of its original founders; this country has ceased to be the patrimony of crime and tyranny.
People of Lombardy! Let us rise; let us turn with joy and admiration our view towards those brave Frenchmen, the scourge of tyrants, and let us acknowledge in them our fathers and deliverers. They have not invaded with projects of avarice and ambition. They neither wish to subvert our religion, invade our property, nor endanger our safety; their efforts are solely against our natural enemy, whom we were obliged to call our sovereign, he who had so far debased us as to make us kiss the chain he imposed.
Let us awake, Citizens Lombards, the tyrant is here no more, he has fled. Let us not delay a moment the naming of a national representation to take out of the hands of the municipalities partisans of oligarchy, the deposit of the Austrian sceptre. Let us establish a government founded on the rights of man, which shall unite all classes into one family; a government founded upon the principles of liberty and equality; which shall be the hope and solace of the poor hitherto oppressed and debased; let us cause to be heard at last, throughout the
globe, that the Lombards have resolutely determined to make themselves a Country.
From the Popular Society of Milan.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. BENNO,
THE instances of individual heroism in the French armies are worthy of being recorded, and they do honor to the French Nation. There were however as striking and extraordinary traits of heroism and firmness discovered by the officers and soldiers of the American army during our revolutionary war, as were ever exhibited on the theatre of the Globe. An Officer of Artillery told me, that in one action with the enemy, every one of his matrosses were either killed or wounded—and of those who survived, several were wounded in three and four different parts of the body early in the action, and yet continued at their post till it was ended. In another action a sergeant of Artillery continued at his gun, after receiving seven musket wounds from the shot of the enemy. Yours CHRONUS.

TRIBUTE OF GRATITUDE.
ON the 31st January, 1796, at half past 9 o'clock in the evening, the American brig Friendship, Capt. Ascough, in a violent gale, stranded on entering the port of Lisbon. The vessel soon filled with water—in this situation we remained until 2 o'clock the next day. The officer commanding the round Castle, so called, had the goodness to exhibit torch lights the whole night. In the morning at sun-rise he alarmed the Bellum Castle and the city by firing signal guns. The Sea at this time was so boisterous that no one could be prevailed on to attempt relieving us. Boats at length were manned and sent out by public authority, with orders not to return without effecting our relief, under pain of death—notwithstanding this, the boats after having proceeded, were observed to turn and row towards shore, on which several canons loaded with ball were fired at them. They then redoubled their exertions, and at length reached the brig and took us out—we had then been up to our armpits in water for many hours. We were carried to Lisbon, delitute of every thing but the cloaths on our backs, thoroughly drenched. As soon as we landed we were most humanely received by Mr. Jacob Dohrman, merchant of that city, who placed us in comfortable lodgings, and the day following furnished us with cloathing. The benevolent, humane and polite conduct of the Portuguese officers, and the friendly attention of Mr. Dohrman experienced by us on this trying and critical occasion could not be exceeded, and demand a more grateful acknowledgement than we are able to express.

FOR SALE. A very Valuable Estate, CALLED THITTENHAM , situate in the township of Upper Darby, and county of Delaware, 7 1/2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 15 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone, spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peaches. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing. The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat. The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Harman, deceased, and offered for sale by Mordecai Lewis, Surviving Executor. Oct. 9. eo.]
