Philadelphia, March 1795. PROPOSALS For Printing by Subscription, a Work to be entitled
TRIALS FOR HIGH TREASON, Within the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania. By EDMUND HOGAN, Editor of the Pennsylvania State Trials.
IT will contain an accurate and comprehen- sive statement of the charges against the ac- cused, the documents, oral testimony, argu- ments of counsel on both sides, and final ju- dice. As every citizen in the United States is more or less concerned in the issue of these trials, it is hoped the Editor will soon be en- abled to acquaint the Public, that he has met with sufficient encouragement to under- take the publication, which he intends to do as soon as 600 subscribers shall have signed.— With this view—
He offers the following Proposals to the Public. I. The work shall be printed in octavo, with a good type, on fine paper, in numbers of 64 pages, to be delivered as soon as possi- ble after the trial. II. As no accurate estimate of the length can be made at this time, its size and price can- not now be ascertained; but the price shall be limited to sixpence per sheet of 16 oc- tavo pages, exclusive of binding. III. Subscribers on the delivery of the first number, to pay one dollar, and the re- mainder when the work shall be complet- ed.
The printers of new spapers in the U- nited States, who shall publish these propo- sals six times in their April, May and June papers, shall be entitled to a copy for their trouble; and the allowance of a seventh copy will be made to them and all others who may exert themselves in soliciting subscriptions and securing payment. As this is supposed to be a sufficient inducement for printers, sta- tioners, booksellers and schoolmasters, to be at some pains to procure subscriptions, it is hoped that persons will exert themselves by opening subscription papers immediately, and they are requested to be punctual in transmit- ting the lists before the first of July next; as the names are to be printed as patrons of this work.

The members are also requested to take no- tice, that the Annual Election for Directors and a Treasurer,
Will commence at the same place, on Mon- day the fourth day of May next, at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Treasurer will attend to receive the Annual Payments. By order of the Directors, Benjamin R. Morgan, Sec'y. April 7 codt27-&dt4m

Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, Jan. 7.
Letter from the Commander in Chief of the army of the North, to the Representative of the people Bellegarde.
Head-Quarters at Bois-le-Duc, December 29, Citizen Representative,
The Committee of Public Safety gave directions to prosecute the campaign by taking Grave, the Isle of Bommel, and the completion of the blockade of Breda. I have now to announce, that by the most singular good fortune, the whole has been accomplished in one day. We are indebted to the rigour of the season for supplying the means of clearing the barrier, behind which the enemy were entrenched, by freezing the rivers Waal and Meuse for a considerable extent, over which it would have been impossible for us to construct bridges for want of boats. We seized the moment at which the ice was sufficiently strong to allow us to pass without danger to the troops; and on the morning of the 27th, notwithstanding the excessive cold, our army attacked the enemy for an extent of about twelve leagues, from Nimeguen to beyond the river Necker, and were as usual, victorious in every quarter.
The right wing, extending from Nimeguen to Fort St. Andre, was employed in watching the movements of the enemy, while the center made themselves masters of the Isle of Bommel, and Langstraat, and the left forced the lines of Breda: the passage of the Meuse before the Isle of Bommel, was effected in three columns under the command of general Daendels and citizen Schiffer, brigadier-general: citizens Crais and Mercier, commanders of battalions of the brigade of Lombards. The first received a slight wound.
The dispositions were so well made and executed, that notwithstanding the formidable entrenchments with which the enemy had fortified the ditches and villages, the troops passed the Meuse, took possession of the different batteries of Bommel and of Fort St. Andre, with that rapidity and courage of which the army has afforded such numerous proofs; and without having along with them a single piece of cannon, they took sixty from the enemy, several horses, a quantity of baggage, and about 600 prisoners. The number of prisoners would have been much more considerable, if the troops who were to make the attack at Fort St. Andre, had been able to come up at the hour appointed. The enemy effected their retreat from the fort, leaving, however, behind them, all their artillery.
General Osten, who was entrusted with the attack of Langstraat, completely succeeded, although he had with him only two battalions, the first and second of the 176th half brigade, and the fifth of the chasseurs infantry. They carried the forts and entrenchments of Derveneren, Kapel and Waspick, with incredible ardor; took 30 pieces of cannon, a quantity of ammunition, baggage and some prisoners. This attack was so much the more brilliant, as it was entirely executed upon the ice of the inundations.
General Bosneau, who, at the same time, attacked the lines of Breda, was equally successful. He took from the enemy 18 pieces of artillery, a pair of colours, and the military chest of a regiment, with about 200 horses.
General Lemaire, who formed the attack of the left, was ordered to take the lines in the rear, by directing his operations against the posts of Oudenbosch and Sevenbergen, of which he obtained possession. He took about 600 prisoners, two pieces of cannon, a pair of colours, a quantity of baggage, and about 100 horses. We have gained in all, by the operations of this fortunate day, about 120 pieces of artillery, 1,600 prisoners, a pair of colors, and 300 horses.
This victory was followed by the taking of Grave, which, on the same day, capitulated to General Salm, who allowed the garrison to march out with the honors of war, but upon condition that they should afterwards be carried into France as prisoners. It is remarkable, that, notwithstanding the terrible fire kept up, for nearly a month, on our troops, who formed the blockade, and the bombardment, we had only thirteen men killed and wounded.
We found in the districts of Bommel and Langstraat, a considerable quantity of forage, of which we had begun to be in want. We are now completely masters of the course of the Meuse, the navigation of which is indispensable to supplying our army with provisions, on account of the impossibility of procuring provisions by land carriage.
After bestowing a merited eulogium upon all the troops, I must render particular justice to all the generals who commanded. They all contributed to the success of the day, by their talents
and courage. Generals Moreau and Sauviac, had a share in forming the dispositions of the plan of attack: the latter forgot in the heat of action, as he has forgotten during the whole of the campaign, that he had lost the use of one of his legs: he ordered himself to be conducted to the Isle of Bommel, and seconded the ardor and courage of his companions in arms.
Health and fraternity. PICHEGRU.
The committee of legislation presented the list of the new Judges and Jurors of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
Saladin reported from the commission of twenty-one, appointed to enquire, whether or not there was ground for a decree of accusation against Collot D'Herbois, Billaud Varennes, Barrere and Vadier, that the commission had not received the necessary papers from the committee of public safety.
Andre Dumont said, that the committee had directed him to collect the papers for the commission; that a difficulty having arisen with respect to communicating the secret orders of the old committees of government, this had occasioned some delay; but that the committee of public safety having decided that the secret orders should be communicated to the commission, the papers would soon be read.
Cambon observed that since the Convention had ordered a report to be made on the means of diminishing the quantity of assignats in circulation, a rumor had been circulated that it was intended to do this by declaring a great part of the assignats waste paper. He moved that the Convention should contradict this rumor by a formal decree, which after some debate was passed.
On the 4th the committee of Public Safety communicated a letter from Porcher, commissioner in the department of Loiret and the neighboring departments, stating, that since the suppression of the maximum the markets were much more plentifully supplied than before, with but a very small rise in the price of corn. "I heard" added he, "the day before my departure from Orleans, provisions and other commodities, which it was almost impossible to obtain before, cried publicly in the streets at a lower price than that of the maximum."
Breard, Marec, and Chazel, were elected into the committee of public safety, in the room of Merlin of Douai, Delmas, and Fourcroy, who went out by rotation.
Clauzel, Vardon, Rovere, and Caffroy, were elected into the committee of general safety, in the room of Bourdon of Oise, Montmayon, Morule, and Mathieu, who went out by rotation.
On the 5th the committees of public instruction, finance, and public succor, in a long report, stated various instances of the acquirements made by the deaf and dumb, and proposed the plan of a decree, which was adopted, for continuing and improving the establishments for persons in this unfortunate situation.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, DECEMBER 29.
Armonville obtained liberty of speech in order to answer the denunciation of Clauzel, who had some days since declared at the Tribune, that the incendiary speech pronounced by Billaud Varennes at the Jacobins, had made such an impression on the head of the deputy Armonville that passing across the Thuilleries he began to cry out "we must still have a million of heads; not less than a million."
Armonville, "On the same day, you suspended the sittings of one of the popular societies of Paris (the Jacobins): I happened to pass by a group of individuals assembled in the Thuilleries; I saw no citizens in wooden shoes among them; none of them wore the honorable mark of industry; they were all of those men, who hid themselves in the moment of danger and now when the Republic is every where triumphant present themselves as saviours of France, fight battles in Coffee houses make civic sacrifices at splendid tables, condemn the measures the republic was saved by, draw out lists of proscription and hum continually in the ears of those energetic patriots, who are used to break tygers and crush lions but scorn to raise their arm against a swarm of vile insects. The orator who harangued the group represented all the Jacobins as rogues, blood-drinkers and plunderers of the Republic; and his worthy auditor answered at each sentence: "down with the Jacobins." Down exclaimed I, with all rogues wherever they may be found. These words have given offence they surrounded and forced me to explain. I told them that I called rogues all the intriguers and dilapidators, all engrossers of provisions and merchandizes, all those men who speculate on public misery and feed on the groans of the poor and that if their number amounted to a whole million, they were all unworthy of being Republicans. Then they broke out in menaces, told those who passed by, I had demanded a million of heads and
accompanied me to the committee of general security; this is the truth: I leave it to the chiefs of the calumniators to invent stories, and overthrow the patriots with base inuendoes.
"Clauzel, I now call upon thee, to declare here in the face of the Convention whether thou art my denunciator or whether there exists in the committee of general security a single proof contrary to what I just now acknowledged."
Clauzel wanted to answer but he was interrupted and the Convention passed to the order of the day.
From the Georgia Gazette.
To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
FOR want of opportunity to approach thee I am confined to this public conveyance to trust a public concern of great moment in the eyes of thousands. I trust thy most public and greatest of stations is accompanied with piety towards that law which the wonderful Counsellor has in understanding wrote in all men's hearts. Alas! it is drowned by a deluge of laws these 54 centuries invented by men's reason. The law written in the heart says to all men "Long for nothing but God." The obeying of this law (as Moses shewed in the ten commandments) is a sure preservative against the ten capital crimes, the result and last whereof is coveting thy neighbor's wife, man servant, maid servant, ox, ass, or any thing that is his.
The Northern Hemisphere contains the greatest part of this peninsula, properly Euphrasia, impiously called America, after an arrogant European, is inhabited ever since one century after the Deluge by a people originally called Dehutes, descending from one of the ten sons of Atkenas, great grand son by Gomer to Noah. These Dehutes are now improperly called Indians.
The four European Nations, English, French, Spaniards, and Portuguese, like four rivers flowing from East to West, have in the prophetic style of Isaiah XVIII. overflowed: uphatha, (no more recoverable) spoiled the land for the Aborigines, who with partial generosity and partial weakness, submitted to this practice by Moses marked as the tenth capital crime, which, for want of obedience to the law written in the heart, is not only committed the six and a quarter centuries, but this year 1795, by mens reason invented law, made virtue, and by this virtue the Jafou lands, chiefly possessed by the Cherokee nation, (driven, from their original habitation between Savannah and Tanassee rivers to a distance 300 miles west) is bought and selling, without enquiring whether this scattered, peeled, and mated out, yea people trodden down, can or cannot do without it, or are willing to dispose of their most ancient possession.
This Jafou land is said to be an acquisition by a surrender of the nation to the Crown of Great Britain. No surrender at that distance ever existed, except it be one tract of 700 acres of land the Upper Cherokee Nation ceded forever to support a garrison in a fort, as anno 1774, in the history adjoined to my general surveys of part of this peninsula, I have personally delivered into the very hands of George III. the present King of England, and to the Earl of Dartmouth, at that time Secretary of State for the American department, the original whereof is this hour in my possession.
The Upper Cherokee Nation, by the advice of their Uka, at that time one called Old Hope, and the Principals of that Nation, consisting of about 10,000 persons, 2000 whereof were warriors and gunmen, who, when abroad at war, or in autumn on their hunting, their old men, women and babes, at home, were exposed to the barbarous hatchet of the Janees, their inveterate, withal dastardly enemies, solicited in the year 1746, James Glen the Governor of South Carolina, to have a fort built and garrisoned at the westernmost extremity of their settlements, at the Old Town Taskegee, that their defenceless might have a place to resort to. This request was annually repeated, and as often they had occasion to send a talk to the Government.
In 1755 I was invited by said Governor to fortify Charleston, whose whole defence the great hurricane in 1752 had washed away. The fortification I had in anno 1756 in great forwardness. At this time the Cherokees renewed their ten years application; proposals were made to me for undertaking that service; the Nation had of-
* Prince Mattock ap Own, 1170, discovered the northern part of Euphrasia on the northern hemisphere. A German noble, Martin Boehm, in 1482, discovered in the south hemisphere the east coast of Euphrasia from river La Plata to the great creek that divides from Patagonia the island called Terra del Fuego, which gives the most southermost cape to this globe. Christopher Columbus, who discovered, anno, 1492, the southermost extent of Euphrasia on the north hemisphere, as far as the river Orinoco. The two Cabots, John and Sebastian, who discovered, anno 1494, the middle east coast on the north hemisphere. (All men of honor and modesty abhorred the presumption of giving in their names even to the parts of their own discovery.) But that Vespucius Americanus, the last and least of these his worthy predecessors saw no more than the coast from Orinoco to La Plata rivers, had arrogance to the dishonor of his predecessors discoveries, and pollutes the whole immense peninsula, the fourth and greatest part of the earth with his name."

ferred to cede for ever a tract of land not exceeding 700 acres to George III. king of England, for the purpose of raising grain, &c. for the garrison; this tract, by the Governor's warrant on my precept, (being then Surveyor General of South Carolina and Georgia) was run out by Capt. Hamilton, one of my ablest Deputies, whom I instructed to lay it out in a fork of Tanefee, and one of its southern branches: "what need was there for laying out 700 acres, a gift from the Nation, if they had surrendered the whole Jafon country to the Crown?" This done I set out in June, 1756, with 60 men, (king's troops) commanded by Captain Raymond Demere, Lieutenant Goldsmith, and Ensign Kitemore; also two companies of pioneers, each 120 men; the one commanded by Captain Stuart, Lieutenant Adamson, and Ensign Anderson; the other by Captain Poitel, Lieutenant Loyald and Ensign Wall. The tract of 700 acres of land I found bounding northeastward upon Tanefee and northward upon Talequoo rivers. The fort called Loudoun, I laid out (40 chains eastward from the mouth of Talequoo, 20 chains westward from Talkegee, and 130 chains from Little Talmothee) in lat. 36. d. 1. 4 m. and 372 miles difference of longitude west from Charleston, but 450 miles by the road; the fort in figure a regular rhombus, 300 feet per polygon, had two bastions on a narrow ridge of a mountain crossing the fork, and terminating with a rocky bluff 41 feet perpendicular above the water's level, upon Tanefee, and 28 feet above the surface of the land, where the two other bastions were erected; the breast work I made 21 feet thick, and planted in the ditch a hedge 6 feet high, and 6 feet thick, of prickly locust, armed with numerous chevrons de frie like thorn, 3 and 5 inches long; had barracks built for 300 men, the fort occasionally sufficiently defended by half that number.
In 1759. Henry Littleton being then Governor of South Carolina, Ensign Kitemore was appointed Lieutenant and Commander of Fort Prince George, opposite Keowee town, on the easternmost extremity of the Lower Cherokee settlements. His improper conduct provoked the whole Nation to war; Fort Loudoun was blockaded up; the garrison then consisting of 100 king's troops, under command of Paul, brother to Raymond Demere, and 100 Provincials, commanded by John Stuart; they held out six months, unto the 9th of August, 1760; in vain waiting for relief, they capitulated, marched out, and in their first encampment, the 10th of August, at day break, the Cherokees from ambuscades killed 27 men of the garrison, parading under arms, and all the officers Stuart excepted, who with the rest of the men threw down their arms and were made prisoners.
To be thus precise, I (presuming the only one who remains of those that officially know of this matter) feel myself in duty bound to give in evidence the matter of fact concerning the surrender which the Cherokees made to the Crown of England in 1756, to wit of 700 acres only, and no more, for a fort and garrison to defend this Nation against the Janes, but not to take and hold possession of the Jafon country.
Which, this 20th day before the Vernal Equinox, 1795, in my 77th year of age, is certified by me.

NEW-HARTFORD, March 18.
"The night past the dwelling house of Mr. John Spencer of this town was consumed by fire, together with all its contents, stores of provisions, &c. His son, about 18 years of age, whom he looked upon as the chief support of his declining years—his daughter, of about 16 years of age, and Theodosia Cleveland, daughter of Mr. Ezra Cleveland of Bristol, of about 15 years of age, who that night occasionally lodged at Mr. Spencer's house, all perished in the flames—His wife in attempting to relieve her children was much burned, but it is thought is in a fair way of recovery. A lad of about 13 years old who lodged in the same bed with the young man that suffered, providentially escaped unhurt.—A solemn call to the benevolent for their sympathy and assistance!"
PORTSMOUTH, N. H. March 31.
The following account of the brigantine Betsey, of this port, Joseph Marsh, late master, stranded on Long Island the 13th ult. and lost, was taken from Mr. Samuel Trefethen of this town, who was master at the time she was stranded, Capt. Marsh having died at Martinique. The Betsey was from Martinique, with hides on freight for New-York, was taken near the island called the Saints, by a French privateer schooner called the General Pichegru, one Louis Captain, Le Egaie Lieutenant and George Lecaft of New-York; Sailing Master; this privateer is said to be the pilot boat called the Hound, formerly of New-York, from which it is supposed she sailed with her guns, &c. concealed; the crew of the privateer pillaged the brigantine in a most shameful manner, by taking her Register, Papers, Quads, ants, all the cloathing, bedding and what money they could find from every person, on board, without distinction; they broke
open Capt. Marsh's chest and took thirty-three joes, a watch and every article of value it contained; robbed the mate of his watch, and every article of clothing, except a thin jacket and trowsers he had on. The sickness which prevailed on board and rendered the people wholly unable to navigate the vessel, by which means she was lost, is supposed to be wholly owing to the want of necessary bedding and clothing, pillaged in the most barbarous manner by these brutal pirates, who we hope ere long will meet their just reward.

CHARLESTON, March 19. Extract of a letter from Port de Paix, to citizen Fousserpuit, consul of the French Republic in Charleston, signed by Mireur, commanding the station of the Isles to the leeward.
"I profit, my dear friend, of the occasion of Captain Hervieux's departure, to write to you. I am now busy in arming the corvette Hyena; in twenty days I shall be ready to sail for the continent. Our privateers have taken a considerable number of English prizes; we have great success against our enemies: we have taken Leogane, Cape Tiburon, Jeremie, and Port au Prince is out by this time; the English are about evacuating the Mole and St. Mark's; we have also taken three Spanish towns, to wit, Saint Michael, St. Raphael, and Hynche; the whole of the colony will soon belong to us.
March 16. We are informed that Dr. Mangouit, late consul of the republic of France for this state, is appointed commissary, or chief of the office of foreign affairs at Paris.
PHILADELPHIA, April 14.
In the Aurora of this morning it is said, that "every nerve was strained against Mr. Brent," the successful candidate against Mr. Lee—The fact is otherwise. It is well known, that a most extraordinary combination was formed against Mr. Lee—that a circular letter, from this combination, such an one as perhaps never before insulted the free electors of any country, was dispatched to the district; but after all, the principle of rotation produced the election of Mr. Brent, who by the way is not a party man; and of such only our country has ought to fear.
A correspondent observes, that the letters on parties under the signature of Constantius, are among the best, if they do not claim the highest rank of modern political speculations. The writer is one of the small number of politicians whose mind appears to be superior to those prejudices which unbalance the judgment, and warp the feelings of the great body of the writers who address the public of the present day. A party spirit is acknowledged by all to be an evil—some hold that it is an inveterate one, and cannot be eradicated:—If this is true, the writings of Constantius will, if read and attended to, contribute much to mitigate and diminish its malignity.
Says a Correspondent.
Our ships are traversing the European Seas in fleets; we are carriers for the world—at this moment more perhaps than a thousand sail of American vessels, are pursuing as neutral bottoms, as advantageous a commerce as ever was enjoyed by the oldest and most favored nation.—What shall be said then of the conduct of those, who have never ceased from the commencement of the war, to abuse the men, whose wisdom and policy have secured to their Country the important blessings of peace and a neutral Commerce? That all the belligerent powers have conducted at times unwarrantably towards us is true—that their conduct has been excusable in many cases is admitted—but, it is abundantly evident, that the measures of our own Government which have preferred us from the horrors of foreign and domestic war, and placed us in a situation superior to that of any other Country that ever existed, are a source of more inveterate and malignant censure to some wretches than all the depredations and spoliations of the British cruisers—Worse enemies than such men, America cannot possibly foster in her bosom.

FOR SALE, Between nine and ten Thousand Acres of LAND,
Situate in the county of Frederick, and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomack. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomack is in a fair way of being completed to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it.
Between three and four thousand acres of the land are leased generally for terms not exceeding twenty one years and many of the terms have only short periods to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An indisputable title will be made to the purchaser.
This tract being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate.
It would be particularly advantageous to a company of settlers as the part not leased, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned.
One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at easy instalments with interest.
Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the land will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before he purchases.
The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the Hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq. at Yorktown, to the Hon. John Wilkes Kittera, Esq. at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq. at Alexandria in the state of Virginia, or to the subscriber, at No. 29, north Second Street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifteenth day of June next.

NEW-YORK, April 13. Yesterday afternoon the Active came up from the Hook, bringing dispatches from Mr. Jay, to the President.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Received by the Active, in 49 days from Liverpool.
LONDON, February 11.
The Earl of Abingdon was this day brought into the court of King's Bench to receive judgment for a libel on Mr. Sermon. Previously to sentence being passed, his Lordship requested leave to say a few words. He apologized for his intemperate language to Mr. Erskine and the Bar on the day when he was last brought up. Mr. Erskine expressed his willingness to accept the apology, which he trusted would have a proper effect on the court.
His Lordship was sentenced to three months imprisonment in the King's Bench, and a fine of 100l. and to find security for his future good behavior.
[The cause of this trial was, Lord Abingdon's having, in the House of Lords, reflected on the character of Mr. Sermon, a gentleman employed by his Lordship's trustee, as an attorney, and in doing which Lord Abingdon reflected on the profession generally.—His privilege as a Peer preferred him from prosecution so far: but having, afterwards, written his speech, and paid Mr. Woodfall for publishing it, the matter became actionable, and terminated as above—much to the credit of the English court of justice.]
General Prescott arrived yesterday from the West-Indies, with intelligence of a very disastrous nature. In consequence of the formidable and increasing force of the French in Guadeloupe, it was determined that Fort Matilda should be evacuated: this evacuation was effected on the 10th of December at night, with the loss of 16 men killed and 75 wounded.
The whole island of Guadeloupe has this been wrested from us; and so powerful are the means of attack and offence which the French now possess in the West-Indies, in consequence of the arrival of large reinforcements of men, ammunition and stores from France, that strong doubts are entertained of our being able to retain Martinique.

HOUSE OF LORDS. MOTION OF THE DUKE OF BEDFORD. Die Jovis, 12th Feb. 1795.
The order of the day being read for the Lords to be summoned,
It was moved to resolve, That it is the opinion of this House, that the actual situation of the governing powers in France ought not to preclude the conclusion of a speedy peace, if peace can be had upon such terms as are in themselves just and reasonable; but if the ambition of France should lead her to persevere in hostilities, either for the purpose of her own aggrandizement, or to carry into effect the principles of her own government in other countries, this House feels itself called upon firmly and steadily to support his majesty in the vigorous prosecution of the present war; which being objected to and a question stated thereupon, after long debate, the previous question was put, whether the said question shall be now put.
Resolved in the negative.
Contents 12—Proxies 3—Total 15.
Not Contents 75—Proxies 26—
Total 101. Different.
PROTEST.
Because we conceive the repeated declarations made in the name of the king, and the Resolutions come to by this House, are, as they now stand, an effectual bar to all Negotiation with the present Government of France, which can alone be removed by a resolution of a similar nature to that avoided by the Previous Question, and which is become the more necessary, from the declaration of his majesty's ministers in debate—That the Government of France is of such a character, as to preclude the possibility of treating so long as they shall continue to act on their present principles—A declaration which we conceive to convey little less than a determination to carry on the War upon such principles, that it can alone be terminated by the destruction of one or both the nations.

The Letters received by the Corona mail, dated the 31st January, assure us, that a total change in the Spanish ministry had just taken place.
Neither Pampeluna nor Rosas had been taken by the French; but the French having on the twenty sixth January made a great breach in the Port of Trinidad, which is near Rosas, the Spanish garrison evacuated it the next evening, having previously spiked the cannon; they were taken up from its falls ports in boats, and conveyed on board the Spanish fleet without any loss. The following very important Letter has been sent to Mr. Johnson, the American Consul, by Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister:
"Great Cumberland-Place, January 30th, 1795,
"My Dear Sir,
"Mr. Monroe our Minister Plenipotentiary in France, informs me in a letter dated at Paris, Jan. 7th, 1795, that the Convention have agreed to carry into full effect, the Treaty of Commerce between the two Republics. As this is, I presume, the most authentic information which has been received of this determination, I have thought it proper to communicate it to you officially, for the information of our commercial friends.

PHILADELPHIA, April 14.
Last evening arrived here from Liverpool, which place she left the 21st of February, the brig Hero, captain Edwards, who informs, that an Embargo was laid on the British shipping in all the ports in England, on the day he failed, which was expected to continue six weeks.
Capt. Edwards sailed in company with the ship Boston Packet, bound for this Port.
London papers received by the Brig Hero, from Liverpool, to the 19th Feb. inform—that petitions and counter petitions on the subject of peace continue to be presented to Parliament—that some of these have occasioned very sharp debates—that the majority for war continues to be great—that the Dutch property in the British funds remains unattached—that the Dutch vessels are detained till it is ascertained what part the United Provinciesmen take—that the preparation for war continue—the English fleet under Lord Howe put to sea about the 16th February, but it was supposed had returned into port—that there had been a severe action in the Mediterranean between the British frigate Inconstant of 36 guns, Capt. Montgomery, and a French frigate of 44 guns and a sloop of war, in which the sloop of war was sunk, and the frigate captured by the Inconstant.—That 500 French troops having taken 50 Spaniards near Rosas, after they had surrendered put them to the sword; in consequence of which Admiral Gravina had landed a considerable force which had surrounded the 500 French and killed the whole number except 27—among the latter were the two officers who had ordered the Spaniards to be killed; these officers were taken on board the Spanish Admiral's ship, and shot—That the Empress of Russia is dead, &c.
The shops and stores in Amsterdam were shut only a few hours, after which business went on as usual. The Jacobins in Marseilles had obtained the ascendancy—in consequence of which the Convention had declared that City to be in a state of blockade.

When he performed the Character of WALTER in that interesting scene in "THE CHILDREN IN THE WOOD" in dissuading Oliver to murder the infants—A Capt. S. well known in New-York, for his Courage in the Service of the public, as well as his private encounters, was so sensibly affected as to rise up from the Box and vehemently cry—"Stick it in him—Stick it in him—Don't his soul"—Here Nature yielded and 'he wept.'

American Landscapes. PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities. By G. I. PARKYNS.
CONDITIONS. 1. That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views... 2. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches... 3. That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page...
TO THE PUBLIC. THIS Work is offered to the public at a price peculiarly interesting to the Arts. Amidst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and ability of men of genius and talents.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter...
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Europe; its close imitation of finished drawings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touches of nature, are properties, that seem peculiarly adapted to the American scenery...
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality.
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned: 1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York, &c. &c. &c. It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting...

The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke Scoop the hard bosom of the solid rock; Resistless through the stiff opposing clay, With steady patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of th' unwilling flood Through hollow the brown horrors of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour, And cheer the barren heath, of fallen moor "The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the alter'd landscape with surprise And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise. Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now insect streams, in artful mazes, glide While each, unmingled, pours a separate tide; Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow And visit sulphurous mines and caves below. The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND! 2awtf

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. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution. A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America. 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 short suspension indispensable.
