WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MÆVIAD. By WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQUIRE. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication, and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Political Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Somerville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Pyle and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] May 28 5
Foreign Intelligence. The following account of the Russian Army, must interest the reader. THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
Extract of a letter from St. Petersburg, in lower Austria, Jan. 25th 1799. "For these ten days we have been in full enjoyment of the presence of Russian Army; and we have here, till further orders, the Head-quarters: its every numerous suite in men and horses, two Regiments of Grenadiers, one of Infantry, one of the Chasseurs on foot, and about 1500 Cossacks, the greatest part of which are quartered in this neighbourhood. It is impossible not to admire the high state of discipline of this army; there is nothing that one can reasonably complain of; and if trifling irregularities occur, they would be found equally in any other army; especially if it was 500 leagues from home and in confined cantonments. The Grenadiers are a very fine body of men, strongly made, well clothed, adroit in the management of arms, and march wonderfully well. They have a very military air; every man knows what he has to do, and does it to perfection. You can form no idea of the subordination that exists, even amongst the Officers. There is the same distance between General Lwow, the Second in Command, and the Commander in Chief, the Count de Rosenberg, as there formerly was in France between an Inspector and a Quarter-Master. The Officers are in general young and well-made, very well-bred, almost all of them talking French, and fluently. I was present at a fort of Fete, which was given them by the Bishop of St. Polton. The Archduke Ferdinand and his two sons, the Marquis Kinski, and many other Persons of Distinction from Vienna were there, who came over to see and to welcome their Allies. I almost fancied myself at Paris; they absolutely talked nothing but French, which is the favorite language with the Russians. There are however some who can speak German tolerably well. The next day I had a good deal of conversation with General Lwow. He is a very respectable man, and answered my questions with great civility. He appeared to be sensible, and well-informed. He has travelled over all Europe, and (as I was informed by many Russian Officers), was the Adjutant and favorite of the famous Potemkin, whom he accompanied in all his Wars. I was very much interested in hearing him talk on that subject. He told me, for instance, that the Capture of Oczakow had cost the Russians 30,000 men; and that of Ismailow 15,000. He also gave us some notions of the practice of the Russian Army. When it advances to attack an enemy, the Soldiers must always look only four or five paces before them; they are ordered (and this is part of the instruction of each individual), never to raise their eyes. The General says that a fine disposition of a hostile army, or an extended line, might make an impression on them. "Besides," said he, "it is the business of the Officers to conduct them where they are to strike, for we fire very little, and trust principally to the bayonet. When we are hand to hand, the Soldiers are equally forbidden to look at the face;—for it is not useful to look at the head when you are striking at the belly?—and by this means a fine or a terrible figure makes no impression." There is an abridgment for you of the military doctrine of the Russians. I confess that I did not imagine they were so far advanced in the knowledge of the human heart, and in that of the influence of the eyes on a man's spirit. "Before I proceed to the Cossacks, I must mention to you a superb Regiment of Foot, Chasseurs, singularly well-trained. First of all they fire, and then charge their carbines, laying flat along the ground. They are besides taught to support themselves between two Cossacks, when advancing against the Enemy, or when pushing forward to get possession of a height or wood. When arrived at their point, whether they mean to make a discharge, or to seize the post, they throw themselves on the ground, fire, and rush on, supported by the Cavalry; and if a retreat becomes necessary, they make it in the same way. This manœuvre was performed at Bruna, before the Emperor, to the great astonishment and satisfaction of the spectators and judges of the business. "Before I quit the Infantry, you must be informed, that great care is taken of the men, that they are well and warmly clothed, and in a military manner: every Soldier and Grenadier has a good cloak, which he carries as the Austrians carry their great coats: and besides that, there are in each Company a certain number of immense cloaks, which are only made use of by the night Sentries. In the day time the Sentinels have only their coats buttoned, with their belt and sword on the outside. The men, whether by habit or by constitution, are certainly of quite a different nature from the French and Germans. Conceivable only that since they came here, and the incessant and severe cold that we experience, they have only been relieved, when on guard, every four hours. This I have been told, and I have indeed myself witnessed it. One of these regiments now at St. Polton, has been on its march ever since last May. We have also the Garrison of Smolensk, and a Battalion which comes from the frontiers of Siberia. "Now I must say a word of the charming Cossacks, about whom we are raving. The greatest part is composed of young men, very stout, well built, fine figures, rather coxcombs, and having nothing barbarous about them. In appearance they are not unlike the English; and when they are drawn up, their singular dress appears to great advantage. Their Chief, whose name is DENTOW, is without exception the handsomest man I ever saw; six feet three inches high, a fine figure, broad shoulders, and about thirty-five years old: all these advantages are increased by the most fine politeness, and by a facility in talking all languages, and particularly the French. It was this gallant Cossack who took Prisoner with his own hand the famous Kocziusco. The horses of the Cossacks come from Tartary, and are by no means handsome. Take in the town where you reside one of the smallest, the thinnest, and the poorest horses; put in his mouth a bridle worth two-pence, and on his back a bad piece of wood, covered with a sort of pillow made of leather or of some sort of stuff; and you will have a perfect resemblance of a Cossack horse. But as to his qualities, the case is very different. Nothing is comparable to the vigor and suppleness of these little animals. Every day I see them on our frozen pavements, galloping and wheeling in a manner almost incredible. Add to this that the Cossacks have no spurs, and that their arms are, a lance twelve feet long, a small carbine in a leather belt, two pistols at their waists, and a very crooked sabre. Thus equipped the man and horse move about with more agility than our Riding-masters at the Manege. Each man has always in his hand a whip about two feet long, half of which is the handle, and the rest made of round leather or of cord, about the thickness of one's little finger. Besides the 6000 Cossacks which there are with this army, there are 1000 Calmuc Tartars. These are not good looking but are well made, strong-shouldered, and are of a figure of a piece with this. Their arms are the same as those of the Cossacks, except the lance, instead of which they have a bow and twelve arrows in a quiver, which they carry on their shoulder. There is one thing more to mention namely, that almost all the Cossacks have two horses, and from the care that they take of them, without being too particular, you would think they were their own. A newly arrived Regiment of Grenadiers is just passing by, who have cylindrical bayonets, extremely long."
CHARLESTON, June 10. Orangeburgh District, June 12, 1799.
MR. TIMOTHY, I ENCLOSE you an extract from a letter I lately received from Mr. Rutledge, and request you will publish it in your gazette. Doing so will greatly oblige me and many of my neighbors, who are the constituents and friends of Mr. Rutledge.
"Poplar Grove, May 19, '99. "The strong proofs of federalism I witnessed in my late ride through the districts of Orangeburgh and Beaufort, afforded me more pleasure than I can describe to you. Every man I conversed with, seemed quite weaned of all his former predilection for France, to be well satisfied with the administration of the federal government, to love his own country exclusively, and determined to defend her independence, in defiance of every hazard. I was highly flattered to find that those of our fellow citizens who, at a very awful crisis, had done me the honor to select me as their representative in our federal legislature, entertained such patriotic and honorable sentiments; as long as they shall prevail generally among our countrymen, their liberties will be safe, and we shall have nothing to fear from the anger, the ambition, or the avarice of France. In answer to your enquiry, whether we are to be at war or peace with that country, I can only give you my opinion on this interesting subject—they are, that the return of peace and the establishment of a well organized government will prove fatal to the directory and to the two councils; and indeed to every man who participates in the administration of the present government of France; that they all very well know their reign will be commensurate with the reign of anarchy and despotism; that they will not enter seriously into negotiations with any of the powers at war with France, till constrained to do so by pecuniary embarrassments; and to ward them off as long as they possibly can, the French government will make war, (or threaten to do so) on every country from which there is the least chance of obtaining money. The monies plundered from one state, furnish the means of destroying another, and thus loans and tributes have become as necessary for preserving the existing state of things in France, as carnage is for the beasts of prey. If, however there should fortunately be an ebb in the affairs of France, and her plundering career be checked, she must immediately sheathe the sword. Her internal resources have failed long ago; throughout the last year, the government and the war have been maintained by extrinsic aids; and from the countries which have been conquered, no further sacrifice can be obtained, for they have already surrendered their last shilling. At present Portugal seems to stand at the head of the pillage list of the French government, and the vast deal of Plunder lately got at Naples, will, I fear, enable them to make a successful invasion of Portugal. Whether the spoils of that country will determine the directory to attempt an invasion of the territory of the United States, or whether they will pick a quarrel with Spain, and then add her to the list of ruined countries, and make French departments of the Floridas and Louisiana, we shall shortly know. The want of a sufficient marine force will, I think, prove an insurmountable obstacle to an attack upon our territory; but if by any accident, that shall be overcome, I trust the wisdom and energy of government, the union and republican firmness of our fellow-citizens, will dispense us from such dreadful visitations as afflict many of the states of Europe which have been conquered pillaged and enslaved by the ambition, cupidity and tyranny of France. "The information you require respecting the insurrection in some parts of Pennsylvania, will reach you before this letter can reach you; but you will see that general M c Pheron's army had returned to Philadelphia with the ringleaders of the insurgents; the deluded people they misled had returned to their ploughs, and tumult has been converted into order, without the effusion of blood. You will also have read in the papers, that the militia troop of horse had mal-treated
some of the peaceable inhabitants of Reading, and assaulted very violently the printer of that town. I strongly suspect all this history of the Lancaster troop will turn out to be a falsehood, and with my friends in your neighborhood would suspend their opinions of it till they shall receive further accounts. I have the pleasure of being intimately acquainted with the gallant general who commanded on this expedition, and regard him as too great a disciplinarian, too good a citizen to have permitted with impunity, the gross outrages some of his troops are charged with. A much stronger reason, however, than that afforded by the reputation of general M c Pheron, for my believing this history to be false, is, that at Philadelphia it was published in the Aurora, and in that paper only. "The editors of the Aurora being, by many suspected (and by me sincerely believed) to be in the pay of France, it was not to be expected they would either acknowledge or applaud the patriotism of that portion of our fellow citizens of Pennsylvania, who have generally sacrificed every thing less dear than the love of their country, to the meritorious task of enforcing its laws. On the contrary, those who are acquainted with the Jacobin and exotic temper of the Aurora, must have expected to see, in that paper, every shaft of calumny and malice exhausted against our citizen soldiers, who arrayed themselves under the banners of their own government, against a band of rebels, stimulated to open insurrection by persons friendly to the views of France, and who, by every profligate contrivance their wit and wickedness can devise, are constantly exciting ungovernable suspicions against the legitimate acts of the federal government. If, however, my opinions are erroneous respecting the statements made in the Aurora of the Lancaster troop of horse, and they really did assault some of the citizens of Reading, without military cognizance having been taken of the delinquents, they are amenable to the civil authority, and the insulted citizens will obtain the advantage of having them tried by a jury of their neighbors, in the very town where the assault was committed, and before impartial judges. Our country being distinguished by a government of laws, an independent judiciary and an uninterrupted course of justice, the democratic printer of Reading, and the citizen soldier of Lancaster, will approach a tribunal of justice on equal terms, and with confidence of having the laws of their country impartially executed; for to the rich and the poor, and to all conditions of citizens, the measure of justice is the law of our land. "I enclose you two Savannah Gazettes containing the addresses which were presented on behalf of the militia, judges and other gentlemen of the law, of Georgia, to Generals Pinckney and Washington, with their answers; and request, after reading, that you will circulate them among your neighbors: I know it will give them great pleasure to learn that our sister state, which, from local and other causes, requires more protection of the general government than any in the union, has become highly federal, and manifests a sincere intention of supporting vigorously the general government. The answers to the addresses merit much attention as they display very fully general Pinckney's opinions of the true situation of our nation, and its prospects with regard to the French republic. His sentiments on this subject demand a peculiar degree of confidence and respect from his fellow citizens; not merely because all descriptions of them venerate him as a great and good man, whose sentiments on all subjects are correct; but because, from his late residence at Paris, he must be supposed to have formed more just opinions of the present French character, and the real views of the French republic, than others can who have only seen them at a distance. When general Pinckney, who has studied in France the real intentions of that government, and who knows no fear, bids us to be on our guard, I think there is good ground for alarm, and it becomes a duty to guard every avenue against the approaches of our enemy and their agents. When he tells us the true object of French policy is to separate in every country the government from the people, and after having rendered them a prey to French ambition, to establish a despotism over them more atrocious in its excesses than ever heretofore existed; when he and his very respectable friend gen. Marshall tells us there are no limits to the intrigues of France, and that one of its objects is the subversion of our government; there is to me some ground for alarm: when, in addition to the warnings we have from so respectable a quarter, we know that the aggressions of the French are daily increasing, and that our anti-federalists look with cold and philosophic composure at the influence of a foreign power, when they are alive to the supposed errors of their own government, and when they who are crying out peace with France, and in some parts of the union taking every means to stimulate domestic contentions, there are strong reasons for alarm, and for cherishing the spirit of federalism and independence, which to the great credit of our district happily pervades every part of it."

G. SHAW, Respectfully informs the public, he has removed from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green Street, Soho, London, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine.
AWARE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established repute and extensive sale, R. Johnston, obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Essence of Mustard from SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. "Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been so clearly demonstrated that its sale has far exceeded any former example; comparatively there are few families in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Essence of Mustard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Complaints of the Stomach and other Painful Maladies."
Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances, of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most respectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the best families in England, Ireland and America.
A COUNTERFEIT. R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Essence of Mustard" as well as many others has been shipped for America, and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the attached to be particular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, labels, and bill of directions which are closely copied, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude common observation. The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand writing on each label, and as an additional security is further signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States. G. SHAW, No. 129 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle.
FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES, It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the faculty, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The fluid Essence of Mustard, is an embrocation worthy their particular attention, it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten track of general practice—It is an active stimulant, easily controlled, may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both elegant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous prescriptions of their brethren in England.
The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, or Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Barrill, Maiden Lane, New-York, Messrs. Bailey and Walker, Charleston, William Black, Salem, (N. J.) Charles Houchit, Lancaster, A. C. Jordan, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, I. & J. Mants, Fredericktown, Maryland, G. W. Mants, Albany, Dr. Vanholten, New-York, Messrs. Tinford & Son, do. Messrs. Ross & Douglas, Pittsburgh, John Webster, Wilmington, James Wilson, do. Richard Winter & Co. Savannah, and in every principal town in the United States. N. B. The public are desired to enquire for Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, all others being a base and ignoble imitation. GEO. SHAW. 129, Chestnut Street, where Venders may be supplied.
"Caution against Counterfeits." Agents are appointed by G. Shaw in every principal town of the United States, and there is no certainty of purchasing the Genuine Essence of Mustard in any part of America, unless it is signed on the outside wrapper by G. Shaw, No. 129, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13

BOSTON, June 17.
CIRCUIT COURT.
On Monday, the 10th inst. DAVID BROWN, who had pleaded guilty to an indictment for seditious writings and practices, was sentenced by the Court to pay a fine of 400 dollars, and to eighteen months imprisonment.
The indictment was lengthy. The two first counts consisted of numerous extracts from two manuscripts, written by the defendant - the contents of which he has industriously circulated in different parts of the commonwealth. These writings are replete with the most malignant and perverse misrepresentations of the views and measures of the government of the United States.
All the means which a vicious ingenuity could suggest, appear to have been used by him to create discord, and to excite among the people, hatred and opposition to their government. The last count in the indictment was for procuring a label to be painted and affixed to a pole erected at Dedham, in October last, the following words recited in the indictment, made part of the inscription, "No Stamp-Act; no Sedition, no A-Post-Post; no Land-Tax; Down with the Tyrants of America; Peace and Retirement to the President; Long Live the Vice-President and the Minority."
The defendant having on his first arraignment pleaded Not Guilty, a day was assigned for his trial. The witnesses were summoned on the part of the United States, and though the defendant, at the time assigned for trial, retracted his first plea and pleaded Guilty, the Court thought proper to examine the witnesses present, that the degree of his guilt might be duly ascertained.
HORATIO TOWNSEND, Esq. testified, that he heard Brown reading one of the Manuscripts to a collection of people at a store in Medfield, some time in October last. He recollected a passage recited in the indictment, in which the occupation of government is stated to be, "to plunder and steal the business of the people, to secrete their property by fraud," &c. in which passage JOEL BARLOW is quoted. Brown was endeavouring to obtain subscribers - Mr. TOWNSEND felt so indignant at the sentiments read by defendant from his book, that he did not stay to hear the whole.
Rev. Mr. BARKER, of Middleborough, testified, that Brown called at his house in October, or early in November last, and presented to him a manuscript, which he said he intended to publish, and wished Mr. B. to correct. The manuscript was left at Mr. B.'s house several days, and was taken away by Brown. Mr. Barker, read several pages of it, and laid it aside without further attention: recognizes it to be the same shown to him in Court, and which is in part recited in the indictment. Brown mentioned to Mr. Barker, that he had obtained a number of subscribers, and wished to have the book published before the then approaching day of election for a member of Congress, in the third southern district.
JAMES FORD, of Milton, testified, that Brown called on him some time last autumn with a collection of papers, the spelling and writing of which were bad; he wished the witness to correct and copy some of them for publication; part of them Brown read to the witness, and he recollected the sentiments and expressions to be the same as is recited in the second count in the indictment. The part recollected by Mr. FORD, contains the following expressions, "the land-tax, stamp-act, and treason-law, and the exorbitant taxes Britain were about to fetch on us without representation, are now brought on us by the representatives of speculators, and not of the people; which it is to be feared that the majority of the house of Congress are at this day, and have been for a number of years; who have represented the new lands into their hands the soldier's pay, and are determined to repress the stock and farms of the yeomanry, to bring the country into lord's tenants and boroughs. The first great gem which the fends of darkness made use of, was to make a new treaty with Britain, to overturn the republican government of America."
Mr. FORD did not correct or copy the manuscripts as requested.
JEREMIAH BAKER, some time last fall was called into the house of his mother-in-law, Dedham, in consequence of the appearance of a foreign stranger, who excited some apprehensions. It was David Brown, who soon produced his manuscripts, and begun to read them. Mr. BAKER recollects distinctly only what related to the sale of the public lands and the charge of fraud and corruption in the conduct of government in that business.
JOSEPH KING, Esq. of Dedham, Brown was at his house twice previous to the erection of the pole in October last, and lodged there. His name in one of the visits was recited in a conference with a brother of the witness, on Paine's Age of Reason.
At another time he read his manuscripts; and the witness recollects some of the passages mentioned by Mr. TOWNSEND.
AMERICAN CHAPMAN, D. Brown applied to him in October last, to paint the board and label mentioned in the indictment, which he did, and received his pay from Brown; he copied the label from a writing delivered to him by Brown.
LUTHER ELLIS, saw a number of people, about 40 or 50 erecting a pole near the highway in Dedham, in October last. Brown was there, and held the ladder, while another person ascended, affix to the pole the label mentioned in the indictment. The people who erected the pole seemed earnestly engaged in the business, and were harsh in their expressions to the witness and some others who were spectators and were of different political sentiments.
After this examination the Attorney for the United States exhibited and read to the Court, some other seditious writings, taken from Brown at the time of his commitment. They were in rhyme. One entitled, "A Dagger for Tyrants," contained the most violent invective against the President and Government of the United States. The identity of the papers was established by the testimony of the marshal of the district, who testified also to Brown's acknowledgment that he composed them. There was also produced a contract for a printing press and types, to be delivered to Brown. The contract was made in March last, a short time before his commitment.
After this enquiry, his Honor Judge CHASE, observed to Brown, that having pleaded guilty to the indictment, and thrown himself on the mercy of the court, it became him to conduct frankly and sincerely; and to evidence his sincerity and contrition by disclosing to the Government those who had prompted and aided him in his mischievous and dangerous pursuits, and by delivering up the list of subscribers to his pernicious writings.
He replied, that on the Monday following he would deliver to the court, in writing some observations relative to his situation, and conduct. When called to the bar to receive sentence, he delivered in a paper in which he expressed his sorrow for uttering his political sentiments; "more especially," he adds, "in the way and manner I did utter them." By "giving up the names" to which the Court referred, "I shall loathe," says he, "all my friends." He promises to conduct as a peaceable citizen in future, and requests that his punishment may be wholly by imprisonment, and not by fine.
Judge CHASE, previous to declaring the sentence of the Court, made some very impressive observations to Brown on the nature, malignity and magnitude of his offences; on the vicious industry with which he had circulated and inculcated his disorganizing doctrines, and impudent falsehoods; and the very alarming and dangerous excesses to which he attempted to incite the uninformed part of the community. The court, he observed, saw no satisfactory indication of a change of disposition, or amelioration of temper; and found nothing disclosed in the paper delivered to them to justify a mitigation of that punishment which his very pernicious and dangerous practices demanded.
David Brown appears to be between 40 and 50 years of age. He says he was born in Bethlehem, in Connecticut; spent the early part of his life, to use his own expression to the Court, "in farming and study." and was some time in the army during the revolutionary war; since that time he has been in foreign countries; has written and preached politics for almost two years past; and according to a declaration in one of his manuscripts, has been in or has "direct information" from 80 towns in the Commonwealth. And audaciously predicts that the people will "finally break out like the burning mountain of Etna."

NEW-YORK, June 20.
During the term on Tuesday evening a part of the convicts in the State Prison made a second attempt to escape. With a piece of tin from one of the close stools they cut the mortar from a stone - the wall until they could take out the stone itself, and when they had formed a vacancy large enough, one of them, named Johnson, crept through it, and broke open the door of the front cell. By this means he got into the blacksmith's shop, from whence he took a hammer, and broke 12 padlocks. When the convicts who were thus liberated, had entered the yard; they made a scaffold to scale the walls, and seven of these daring offenders escaped before the keeper could procure the necessary assistance to prevent it. A Reward of 50 dollars is offered for their apprehension.
MELANCHOLY!
During the frightful storm that was experienced last evening, the lightning, which was unusually awful and vivid, struck a house on Governor's Island, descended down the chimney, killed one man and wounded three others, one of them badly. The names of the unfortunate men we have not been able to learn.
A house at Brooklyn belonging to Mr. Malcom, was likewise struck, the chimney of which was broke to pieces, and several of the family stunned, but not materially injured.
Also, a stable in the Bowery was struck, and 3 horses killed.

To the Managers Of the ALMS-HOUSE & HOUSE OF EMPLOY.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE been your annual account to the 25th of last month, in Fennel's paper of the 17th instant, and will make a few remarks upon it, which I submit to your consideration.
Previous to doing this, I will observe, that in your account No. 1. there is an error of forty-five pounds, occasioned by your crediting the manufacturing account with only three hundred and thirty eight pounds three pence for goods consumed in the house, which credit ought to be three hundred and eighty three pounds, three pence, if your account No. 3 is right, to which I request your attention.
At first view I thought it might be a typographical error, but on calling both accounts up I find it is not so - how the mistake escaped the fertilizing eye of the Mayor, two Aldermen, and three Justices, I cannot tell, but so it appears, and that all of them have passed the account as examined, approved and allowed.
Having given you credit for this forty five pounds, the balance, which you state to be the profits of the manufacturing will be eighty seven pounds six shillings and four pence. Admitting this to be the true sum, I will leave your general accounts for receipts and expenditures to be the subject of future investigation, and proceed to state by whom this money is earned.
By your account No. 3, the paupers in the house are six hundred and five, of whom one hundred and fifty three are children - I will throw them all out of the question, because they do not work - The result is, there remains two hundred and twenty six men, and two hundred and twenty seven women, the profits of whose labor together in the whole year is but four shillings each.
I acknowledge that very large allowance ought to be made for the situation of many of your paupers, but still I cannot resolve it to my own satisfaction, that your hundred and fifty three grown people, who are all provided at the public expence with board, clothing, fuel and every necessary article of life, should not earn four shillings each a year, when an individual laborer can earn twice as much in one day.
If, however, you can satisfy your fellow-citizens on this subject, it will be proper to do it; for many of them begin to grow uneasy about the poor tax, and consider it as an almost insupportable burthen. They felt it so last year, and they are likely to feel it so this year, in which I am told sixty two thousand dollars are assessed for the poor tax alone.
Enormous as this is, I believe they will pay it willingly, if they are out convinced that good economy is observed in the expenditure of their money, and that a reasonable share of labor is exacted from all those who can work, in due proportion to their ability and strength - but if you apply their taxes to improper uses, and turn the Alms-House and House of Employ, which was designed for the convenient and comfortable accommodation of the infirm and supernumerary poor of the city and districts, as well as to encourage industry in those who are willing to do work, if they could get it, into a nursery for idle itinerants, you may expect, notwithstanding the regard we entertain for your characters, that we shall complain with justice, and lay the institution instead of being a public benefit, is become a disgrace to the city.
The following curious printed circular, having been received by a young Irishman, of short residence in the country, he applied to a gentleman to read it for him; as every thing relating to so dignified a personage as the Aurora-man, must be interesting, it would be wrong the public should not know of his establishing, after the manner of other high personages, a body guard for his sublime person.
Citizen,
The irregular attendance of those who have proposed to become members of the New Republican Company, has obliged the attending members at their last meeting on Tuesday evening, to come to a decisive resolution, to be determined by another meeting on Saturday evening next at 7 o'clock. The purpose of that meeting is to ascertain by the positive attendance of the members, the real strength of the corps; and it is expected that each member will come with two dollars, to be paid down towards defraying the expenses of equipment.
Persons who cannot afford to pay at once for their equipment, can be accommodated by paying in small weekly instalments. The uniform agreed upon at two meetings was as follows:
White hat, with green under, and cock's neck feather; green coatee, with yellow collar, edging, and buttons gilt, cloth superfine; dimity waistcoat and pantaloon; half boots; black collar; cartridge box in front; cockade, a large silver eagle on a very small black ground.
The meeting on Saturday will be held in private room under the Aurora printing-office; where if you really mean to belong to the corps you are requested to attend.
Health and cheer,
Wm. DUANE.

A letter dated the 10th of May at Lisbon has been received in this city to day announcing the arrival of the ship America of this port, Walter Sims commander, after a passage of 19 days from the Capes of Delaware, but gives no information as to the operations of the contending armies on the continent.
We learn that by this arrival letters are received to the 18th May, communicating the important and glorious information, that the French were still continuing to give ground, in all quarters.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable gentleman in Hamburg, dated April 10, '99, to a Mercantile house in this city.
"The continued depredations of the French make insurance still very difficult to be procured and our Underwriters very extravagant in their demands. The present premiums are 20 a 25 per cent. on American, and 12 a 15 per cent. on neutral vessels, on their coming north about - nor is there any probability of their becoming more moderate, so long as the present political relations between France and America may exist."
The Aurora of Wednesday morning says, that "Gen. La Fayette may be expected to arrive in the United States in the course of the next month."

PROSPECT OF AN INDIAN WAR. By a gentleman who arrived in town on Saturday last, from Cincinnati we are informed that he saw a letter from the commandant at Detroit, to the commanding officer at Fort Washington, informing him that the Indians were embodying and holding councils - and from every appearance, meditating a stroke on some part of the frontiers of the United States.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Frankfort, to the Editor, dated, May 20th 1799.
"A few days ago there was a party of eight or ten Indians, completely armed, passed through Shelby county, where it was thickly inhabited, doing very considerable damage to the inhabitants, by killing their hogs, cows, &c. They were painted in a warlike manner, and left several signs, which shewed their hostile intentions."
By a gentleman just arrived here from Fort Massac, we have been favoured with the following important information - That he saw a letter from a respectable gentleman in Kaskaskias, to the Commandant of that post, which mentioned the certainty of four nations of Indians (the names of which he does not recollect, but they reside above the Illinois river) being hostile to the people of Kaskaskias, and particular to the tribe of Kaskaskias Indians, several of whom they have taken and killed within this spring. That the people of the Illinois settlements appear much alarmed, as also the Kaskaskias Indians.
This information may be depended on, as the above mentioned letter came directly from the Illinois - it stated the circumstances more particularly than they can be recollected at present.
The gentleman from whom we received the above, left Fort Massac on the 7th inst.

Received from capt. Prince, of the brig Rosetta, arrived at Baltimore, in 23 days from the city of Santo Domingo.
May 25th, 1799, being in St. Domingo, and ready to sail with a Cartel for America, there came in a schooner under American colours, with seven men whom she had picked up from a boat at sea. The said schooner sailed from Virginia the 19th of April, bound to St. Thomas's - on the 22d, in lat. 35, 49, long. 72, 10, took up the a-
bove boat, being the crew of the vessel William of Baltimore, they had been over 5 days in the boat, living on three small biscuits and an half pint of water for 22 days. Having taken on board the boat's crew, the schooner proceeded on her voyage. The first land they made was Porto Rico, which they mistook for St. Martin's, and ran ashore as far as the Old Cape - went up to Anguilla, and on the captain's arrival there, the people having only one shirt, and that not for thirty-five days, he sold the boat, kept the money, and would not give them a farthing of it to buy a shirt. Thence they came down to St. Domingo. The schooner belongs to Richmond, commanded by one capt. James Maxwell of Norfolk, with two French supercargoes on board. When I came away, had not sold her cargo, but supposed he would the next day.
On my passage home, was boarded by the British Frigate Trent, the captain and officers of which treated me with great politeness. Having sick on board, the Captain of the Trent sent his Surgeon on board, with an abundant supply of Medicines &c.

K. was well assured he should have shared the fate of the brig.
