son, he gave him permission to visit any city or province throughout China.
The following, which is a literal translation of the Pekin Gazette, will inform you of the particulars of his reception, &c. It may be necessary to observe that the left side of the Emperor, as it is termed, the West side, is the place of honor. In respect to the presents, I must remark that it is the custom in China that every Ambassador yearly makes some presents to the Emperor, which are specified in the Gazette.
PEKIN GAZETTE.
On the 8th day of the seventh moon, July the 20th, a very great Mandarin named Ho-Cong, informed the Emperor a very great Mandarin had arrived at Pekin, at nine o'clock, and that he was at the Emperor's Palace; that the King of England had sent him as his Ambassador to the Court of Pekin, and that his Lordship wished to be admitted to the Emperor's presence. The Emperor immediately ordered all his Court and relations to put on their best apparel, to be in readiness to receive his Lordship, and to wait till the Emperor was ready. The Emperor soon arrived and being seated in his state chair ordered the Hoek Sue to desire the great English Mandarin Lord Macartney to walk in. His Lordship entered, holding forth his credentials to deliver to the Emperor. The Emperor desired a very elderly Mandarin of his Court named Hockchun-un, to receive the paper of his Lordship, and to read it. He then read to him that the King of England had sent to different articles, the manufacture of England, as a present to him the Emperor of China. His Lordship then advanced the Emperor by prostrating himself nine times with his head to the floor, according to the Chinese custom, and the Emperor ordered him a chair on his left hand, the greatest honor he could pay him in the Court of Pekin, ordered him a cup of tea, and took one with him. After some time the Emperor retired to his dinner, and ordered four of his greatest Mandarins to dine with his Lordship. After dinner the Emperor returned. His Lordship, with four great Mandarins, also returned, and his Lordship returned the Emperor thanks for his repast, the Emperor then begged him to be seated as before, and spoke to his Lordship as follows: "The King of England has sent you with 10 different articles as presents to me I beg that your Lordship will send them to my Palace." He then retired.
The following is the account:
 First an orrery.  One pair of globes.  One thermometer.  One pair of Merlin chairs.  Two large brass guns.  One bottle of phosphorus.  A view of Windsor.  A carpet of gold thread.

Lord Macartney's arrival at Canton.
About the 20th of November last Lord Macartney and his retinue arrived at Canton, by water; I was not a little astonished to see the great preparations that were making for his reception, many weeks previous to his arrival; the troops, such as they are, were exercising continually; one of the most superb houses I ever saw in China was by order of the Emperor fitted up for him, in a style truly elegant, and, to their credit I say, without the least idea of expense; the ornaments of the Chinese and English fashion; the rooms all in the English style; the grounds in the Chinese; and such an abundance of provisions of all kinds collected for the occasion that it was impossible to consume them while they remained in Canton.
His Lordship was attended by all the principal people in the country: the shores were lined on all sides with troops; and the river with their men of war boats, who all went through their evolutions on his appearing in sight. A Chinese camp was pitched in the way to his house, and the whole of the passage was covered and lined with silks and cloths of different kinds, in the Chinese style; and least he should find a difficulty in landing, they erected a bridge out into the river for a hundred yards, and decorated in a grand style, to prevent that inconvenience. On the first day of his arrival a grand dinner was prepared by the Emperor; on the 2d, the Viceroy of Canton and all the great officers of state gave him one, and also dined with him; but to give you an idea of what they expected to see on his Lordship's arrival, the Viceroy, and the greatest men of state, were practicing for a week before to make use of a knife, fork, and spoon according to his own custom. On the 3d day, the Security Merchants of Canton gave him another great dinner, at which, however, none of them were present; I believe his Lordship had hinted he would not allow it.
On Christmas day he dined at the Company's factory, where most of the Company's officers were invited; he was in good health, but did not express himself by any means pleased with the result of his embassy; in fact, he has not done any thing material to the interests of Great Britain or the Company at Pekin; the only object he accomplished was to induce an order from the Emperor, that all officers under government should wear woolen cloth three months in the year. I must say, so far from this embassy having been of service the time I was there, it was much on the contrary, as I never saw such a flagellation in trade in China during the many years that I have been engaged in the service; not an European article would sell for its original cost, and money was so scarce, that it almost put a stop to all commerce.
Lord Macartney was expected to remain only a few days in Canton, and then to go to Macao. The Lion was lying higher up than any ship of war was ever suffered to go before, at Whampoa. I understand the Chinese were so jealous of his Lordship at Canton, that they limited the time of his remaining there, and intimated that he must then leave it. They fixed his residence on the contrary side of the water from the city of Canton; apprehensive, I understand, lest he should wish to be in the city, which they did not approve, though I believe, had he wished it, they must have admitted him, as it was the Emperor's orders.
I understand all the presents were accepted but one, and an immense quantity returned to go to Europe from the Emperor. So much respect did they pay to the English; that not even one man belonging to the ships returned without receiving some present. I was informed by the Security Merchants, when I observed the great expense of the Embassy to the King of England, that the expense of it to the Emperor of China would amount to one million of dollars.
August 15.
A letter from Geneva of the 30th ult. says, the executions had ceased for two days; seven self-elected members of the Revolutionary Tribunal had been dismissed their office; several of the imprisoned clergy had been released; and the people in general, seemed extremely adverse to the abandoning Geneva, to the power of the French Republic. The Swiss Cantons had stopped all kind of provisions and ammunition from being sent to that city.
Among those guillotined at Paris on the 18th and 19th of July, were M c M. Magon de la Blinaie, aged 80, at St. Maloes; Coureur, receiver of rents at Paris; De St. Pern, at Rennes; Magon, wife of the Ex-Marquis of St. Pern; le Gris, intendant of the Duke d'Havray; Lalande Magon, jun. and M. Gardy, his Secretary; Scionnet de Chesues, Ex-Advocate at Versailles; M. de Cornuiller, and his wife; Conin de St. Luc, Ex-President of the Parliament of Rennes, his wife and daughter; Guy, Ex-Curate of Villers; Vancappelle, curate of Leidrezel; the Chevalier de Gaucher; Caez, Ex-Judge of the Bailiwick of Monastier; Tiffere, Ex-garde du Corps; de Blanchelande, Aid de Camp of the Ex-Governor of St. Domingo, his father; and de Laurion, Ex-Noble of Bearne.
COPENHAGEN, July 16.
Last Sunday the Prince Royal, accompanied by his two aid-de-camps, paid a visit to Admiral Wachsmuth of the Swedish fleet, on board of the Admiral's flag ship. His Royal Highness was received with a salute from the whole Swedish fleet of sixty discharges of artillery.
To-morrow two more ships of the line will sail out, next day, two more, and on Friday next three more. Two frigates entered the road this day. Several hundred sailors arrived yesterday from the provinces to serve in the fleet. All Danish & Norwegian sailors, who were found on board of foreign ships in our ports, have been pressed for the service of our fleet.
Admiral Fleugel is to command seven ships of the line, which are designed to remain in the road, for the purpose of defending our harbor—after the combined fleet, which at present is lying in the road, shall proceed to sea.
In consequence of this, the admiralty has received orders to put in commission ten more ships, which shall remain ready in the docks until further orders.
Measures of defence have likewise been taken on the land side; amongst others, the Castle of Cronenburg has been put in the most respectable state of defence, and considerable artillery has been transported to the Island of Solholm, before which all the vessels coming from the Baltic, are obliged to pass.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
July 17.
Read a letter from Commissioner Gillet to the Committee of Public Safety.
"General Scherer, with a division of the army, in which were incorporated the National Guards, and young Citizens of the Communes of Avésnes, Maubeuge, and the neighboring territory, having invested Landrecy, immediately opened the trenches, and traced out the first parallel at 130 toises from the place. This venturous conduct saved great effusion of blood: the enemy, not thinking the besiegers so near having directed their fire in such a way, that the shot went 100 toises over the ground on which the workmen were employed. Without firing a single gun on our side at the besieged, we summoned the place, giving the garrison to understand that every kind of capitulation was inadmissible. It consisted of 2000 men, and surrendered at discretion on the 15th.
"The fortifications were unhurt:—and besides 91 guns, which Landrecy formerly had for its defence, we found 26 others, which the enemy had added for further security."
Barrere.—While the army of the Eastern Pyrenees is so successful against the Spaniards, the united armies in the North are completing the conquest of Belgium, the troops to whom the frontier of the Rhine is intrusted are on their side by no means inactive; Victory in that part still declares for the Republic. The Conventional troops, after having contended against the obstacles of the soil, and repeatedly defeated the enemy's cavalry, proceeded against a fort strongly garrisoned with Prussian soldiers. Of this fort they made themselves masters, putting the whole garrison to the sword. They have also carried Triptstadt, and have there taken eight guns, two howitzers, and a large quantity of forage and ammunition.—Two of the enemy's generals were killed, and wounded. The loss on their side was immense.
Barrere then read a letter from St. Maloes, stating, that the head-quarters of the army of the coast were to be removed thither, and were to be accompanied by three National Representatives. No less than 400 transports in the port were under sailing orders, and 22,000 men were expected to arrive for embarkation, not comprehending the numerous bodies of troops stationed along the coast.
July 18.
Barrere announced the surrender of Malines and Louvain to the armies of the Republic, and communicated a letter from General Pichegru, to the following purport: "We have just entered Malines, and found some difficulty in crossing the canal, on which occasion General Proteau was killed, and Gen. Salme slightly wounded. The troops behaved with their wonted bravery; and a great part of them, impatient at the delay occasioned by the construction of a bridge, threw themselves into the canal and swam over to the other side. We made 200 prisoners."
July 21.
Cambon, in the name of the Committee of Finances made the following report:
"The present conquest of Belgium is very different from the invasion made by Dumourier. We were then obliged every month to send 35,000,000 in spe-
cie—now, on the contrary, it is the money of Belgium that pours into France. We have already imprisoned in the great national chest the advanced guard of the Austrian cash—that is to say, 700,000 livres, not comprehending the contributions laid on the different cities. For the future, the Committee of Finances will give in a monthly account to the Convention, of the monies, which shall reach the capital from Belgium.
HULL, July 26.
A most melancholy affair happened on Saturday sen'night on board the ship Sarah and Eliza, of this port, returning from Davis's Streights. About 4 o'clock on that day, being nearly 4 leagues off St Abb's Head, she was fired at by the Aurora frigate, Captain William Ellington, when she hoisted her colours, and, she being to windward, at the second shot bore down on the frigate; most of the crew had in the mean time got between decks, and secured the hatches, to prevent their being impressed; a boat from the Aurora then came on board, and shortly after another, filled with armed men, upon which one of the Aurora's people took charge of the helm.
Soon after 5 o'clock the Aurora came alongside, and as the men would not come upon the deck, the boatswain of the Aurora, holding a hand grenade in one hand, and a lighted match in the other, asked Captain Ellington if he should fire the hand grenade amongst the people, which the Captain ordered him to do; but on representation of the master of the Sarah and Elizabeth, that the ship was full of oil, and if the hand grenade was fired she would immediately blow up, he desisted. The crew then proceeded with crowns to break up the hatches, and as the men still refused to come upon deck, one of the officers from on board the Aurora hailed his Captain, and said, "Will you give us leave to fire?" to which Capt. Ellington answered in affirmative, and the marines, to about 18 in number, fired down the hatchway, by which one man of the Sarah and Elizabeth's people was killed, and three badly wounded: the boatswain of the Aurora was wounded in the leg.—The crew of the Sarah and Elizabeth begged for quarters long before the people from the Aurora ceased firing, notwithstanding the orders of the Captain and other officers. The greater part of the crew of the Sarah and Elizabeth, with the wounded men, were then taken on board the Aurora, and put in irons, where they yet remain. The Sarah and Elizabeth arrived on Wednesday, when the body of the dead man was landed, and a verdict was taken before William Watson Bolton coroner. The jury were unanimous in bringing it in wilful murder against the Captain and part of the crew of the Aurora.
We hear that the owner of the Sarah and Elizabeth have instituted a prosecution against them. The foregoing facts are the substance of the deposition sworn before the coroner and jury.
Names of the killed and wounded on board the Sarah and Elizabeth—Edward Bogges, carpenter's mate, killed; Hugh Brooks, boatswain; William Barker, line coiler; and K. Hubey, seamen wounded.
Capt. Ellington has written a letter to the Mayor of Hull, defending his conduct; and says, that the crew of the merchantman were in a state of mutiny, and fired first on one of his officers.
LEGHORN, July 25.
The nobles of Tuscany have offered their services to his Royal Highness, to oppose, if there be any need the daring enterprizes of the destroyers of France. Several malcontents among the people have openly declared their resolution to join the French, if they should arrive. We know not why the audacity of these wretches remains unchecked by government. The Neapolitan cavalry daily expected joined with the garrison might seize the leaders, and quench at once every spark of insurrection.
Our new recruits practice the exercise of the great guns with astonishing zeal and success.
The Toulon fleet, which is expected to sail the end of the month, is said to consist of eight ships of the line and several frigates. This is imagined to be gasconade, for it is asserted that the Spanish fleet has joined the British squadron and that they block up the French in the harbour of Toulon.
Admiral Goodall has already failed escorting the transports and fire ships, and to protect the disembarkation of 1200 French in corsica, where it is thought the assembling of these emigrants may be useful in the end to make descents on the Southern provinces of France.
STOCKHOLM, July 25.
Though sentence of death has been pronounced against Thyseus, the fanatic preacher by the Aulic court, the superior court has mitigated the same to a confinement upon bread and water for eight years.—Next week will determine the fate of all those who were concerned in Baron D'Armsfeldt's conspiracy.

FELLOW-CITIZENS,
HAVING observed in some of the public prints an invitation to the inhabitants of the City, to meet this day at the City Hall, in order to form a ticket for the ensuing election; and having some reason to suspect that it has been given by agents of a certain party, whose members have been for this time past assembling in obscure corners, in order to organise themselves previous to the day of trial, I think it highly necessary to call your attention to an object which may involve very serious considerations, and to suggest to you the propriety of having a numerous meeting in order to defeat the unfair views of these designing men.
You have doubtless seen with regret that within these last two years a total innovation has been effected in our mode of election—previously to that time the friends of the candidates were satisfied to use their influence in private amongst their own particular friends; whilst the objects of their choice observing a reserve and decorum, evinced a becoming respect for public opinion and permitted it to take its own direction without an unfair bias. But now our conduct is totally changed, and we have before us the hopeful prospect of seeing all the arts of undue influence and corruption supplant the purity which formerly reigned, on this interesting occasion. A man who, through your carelessness and inattention, thinks he has acquired some right to public favor, and who dares now to offer himself as your representative, was the first to move forward in this new style; and yet you permit him to flatter himself with the hope of receiving your support in his unwarrantable pretensions—It is high time that you should rouse from your lethargy and support the important rights of election with becoming dignity.
As the mind of the public seems to have selected two persons, one of which is to represent us in Congress, I think you have a fair right to canvass their respective claims, and to fix your choice by the opinion which you may form of their private as well public merits and qualifications.
The person who has represented us in Congress for several years can never be impeached on the score of talents—His judgment is sound and has the aid of experience—His conduct and opinions are uniform—His services in promoting the resolution were not inconsiderable, and his attachment to our present constitution is inflexible—What more do you require in a man to excite your respect and to encourage you to serve yourselves by keeping him as long as he will serve you in a post where he can do it so essentially?
What can you say in favor of his antagonist? 'Tis true his enemies must allow he possesses talents; but here his very friends are at their ne plus ultra . Does he possess a sound judgment, or are his conduct and opinions uniform? I hope your conduct towards him will convince even himself that his judgment is none of the best; and as to his steadiness you must all know that his inconsistency is proverbial—If he has in any respect been uniform, it has been in his attachment to money, and his perseverance in getting it, and I believe it may be added, that in the disposal of it, he has never been known to stray into an act of indiscriminate liberality.—What were his public services in the revolution? The knowledge of them are I fancy, pretty much confined to himself 'Tis true you have heard him vapour about the men of '76, and probably he may have a few scars obtained in that glorious year!—Is he known by his attachment to the present constitution? He was not known at all as a public character 'till he headed with its enemies and became their tool.
In this hasty sketch I have endeavored to trace the outlines of the two characters, on whom you seem to have fixed as candidates for the representation in Congress; it remains with yourselves to take measures for supporting your own dignity, and suppressing the ill-timed vanity of impudent pretenders.

KINGSTON. Jan. August 9.
His Majesty's ships Intrepid, Capt. Carpenter, of 64 guns, and Chichester of 44 guns Captain Fancourt, arrived on Sunday afternoon at Port Royal from Martinique which they left the 24th ult. when Guadalupe was closely blocked up by the British fleet, commanded by Admiral Thompson.
On the coast of St. Domingo the above mentioned ships fell in with the French sloop of war La Syrene, an

the brig Fame, of Cork, bound to this port, which had captured about two hours before: both vessels were chased on shore, and the brig being immovable was burnt, but the La Syrene was got off, and brought into port. She had lately come out of Aux-Cayes mounted 16 guns and had 120 men.
In contradiction to the reports which have been lately circulated respecting the hazardous situation of our posts at St. Marc's we can affirm on unquestionable authority, that they are founded in falsehood; no part of St. Domingo being more secure, or the inhabitants of all descriptions better satisfied with the British government.
A letter from Port-au-Prince of July 29 intimates, that Brigadier General Wayte was at that time so ill, that no person on business was permitted to see him. Col. Lylaught, 22d regiment is dead. Died at St. Jago de la Vega Mr. —, Cunniffe,
From the American Daily Advertiser of this morning.
The ship Hercules of New York from Halifax, was spoke on Tuesday last, by one of the Delaware Pilots about five leagues to the northward of Cape May. The Hercules was one of the Condorcet's convoy, and captured by the British squadron. The Captain delivered the newspaper, from which we have made the following extracts, to our informant, and told him that all the captured vessels having two or three were released.
HALIFAX, Sept. 20.
On Sunday last arrived at Liverpool, the brig George and Tracey, from Bermuda, after having been captured in lat. 37, by a privateer from Norfolk in Virginia, commanded by a Captain Paris. This privateer had also taken a Schooner from New Providence, bound to this place—a brig from Jamaica bound to Dublin—a Schooner from Antigua, bound to the Island of St. John; and an American brig commanded by one Smith from London to Baltimore. Smith entered himself a volunteer on board the privateer, and was stationed at one of the guns. The privateer being accommodated with so large a number of prisoners, gave them the brig George and Tracey, in which they proceeded to Liverpool, and the privateer steered to the southward.
Wednesday arrived the Schooner Queen Captain Pryor, in twenty days from St. Vincent's. Captain Pryor informs, that our troops still remain on the defensive at Guadeloupe. It was reported that the French had attacked our lines at Guadeloupe, and had been repulsed with considerable loss.
The 10th of Aug. his Majesty's ship Rebeck sailed from Martinique, with a small reinforcement of soldiers and sailors for Guadeloupe. No reinforcements had been received from Europe by either the British or French. About nineteen days since, as Captain Pryor was within fifteen leagues of Guadeloupe he heard a violent cannonading.
Tuesday arrived the brig Peggy, from Greenock, in seven weeks passage, and brings papers to the 26 ult.
Wednesday failed his Majesty's Packet Westmoreland with the Mail for Falmouth.
Thursday arrived from a cruise, his Majesty's ship Blanche, Captain Faulkner.
PHILADELPHIA,
OCTOBER 11.
The ship Hope arrived yesterday morning at New-York from London, which place she left the 23d August—by this arrival, letters were received in this city, dated the 20th August; from one of which we are enabled to lay before our readers the following.
Important Intelligence:
Extrait of a letter from an American Gentleman of information in London, dated the 20th of August, 1794, to his friend in this city.
Another great change in men has taken place in Paris:—Robespierre and his friends have fallen on the same scaffold to which they had led so many others: A change of measures was expected by people here, but none takes place—the people and the armies seem not to lose their confidence in the Convention, bad as many think them, and no disturbance that we hear as yet, has taken place in any quarter.
The armies of the Allies are in every place unsuccessful: within a few days Treves is taken by the French, after defeating the army of Austrians, who protected it—this lays open the Rhine,
and will oblige the Prince de Cobourg to fall back from Muehlricht, in which case that place is the next to fall, and Holland will be exposed.
Poland although not in a fair way to succeed for themselves, have operated a most important diversion for the French. The Fleets of the Baltic begin now to excite some speculation.
The Hope we are informed failed in company with the ship George Barclay bound to this port, full of passengers.
MORDECAI LEWIS, Esq. is chosen President of the INSURANCE COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
M. LEVY, Esq. declines serving as a member of the Assembly for Philadelphia.
Extrait of a letter from London, Aug. 2.
"We are happy to say there is no apprehension of a misunderstanding between the two countries.—Mr. JAY seems to have met with a favorable reception—The very conversation of requesting British debts is very impolitic, as it tends to lessen British confidence in giving commercial credit; as many of our Merchants will begin to think their commissions unequal to the risk, when their property and establishment in life will depend on the arbitrary will of a few coffee-house politicians, entering into such violent resolutions, when they think our government has given offence, intentionally, or not so, according to their interpretation."
Extrait of a letter from an Officer in the first regim. of Philadelphia Militia, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Carlisle, October 4, 1794.
"The extensive country that surrounds this borough, are canvassed over with our numerous tents. We have at present, (if I may presume to judge from the extent of ground occupied) about three thousand men in the field; and fresh companies are daily arriving. Our troops appear both healthy and gallant, and are armed and accoutred to the best advantage."
The army was this day reviewed by the President of the United States, accompanied by near a dozen general Officers. The scene was splendid and engaging. When the Sun occasionally broke through the fleecy and obstructing clouds, the field in one part glittered with a forest of muskets, and death-pointed bayonets, while in another part streams of lightning flashed from the drawn blades of the gorgeous Cavalry.
Amidst all this reflected blaze of arms, the MAN OF THE PEOPLE, with a mean intrepid as that of Hector, yet graceful as that of Paris, moved slowly onward with his attending Officers, nor once turned his Eagle Eye from the dazzling effulgence of the steel clad band.
As the Heroic Sage advanced on his Light Moving field along the line which was mute with admiration, and respect, our standards involuntarily bowed their heads, while their flags chanted to the passing gale, in unison with the Trumpets clangor, and the wild music of the martial field—the scene was augustly picturesque and inspiring. My imagination caught fire, and I thought myself a second Homer, born to sing the Praises of the American Patriot and Hero. Thus transported, I beheld as he retired fifteen blazing Suns, encircle his elevated brows: In the Centre sat Justice, with her sword and balance giving place to meek Eyed mercy with extended arms."
"The disaffection in Cumberland County, is beyond your conception. Three Insurgents have already suffered death, and three hundred more at least must share their fate."
Terror is beginning to spread among them, because they discover a determined spirit in the government, and a zeal for its support, in the troops which have already taken the field.
We must advance to the base of the towering Allegheny, and the line of march will be taken up about the 10th Inst. I fear the honour we shall gain will be too small, because the enemy cannot pretend to make any serious opposition. Those which fall in my way, I am determined to make compost of, to fertilize the barren soil from whence the Demon Whiskey, born of Rye, first reared his giddy head.
Block houses are said to be erected by the poor deluded wild men of the west, but the report I believe is groundless; if not, our Artillery will soon scatter them and their unarmed defenders, to all the winds of Heaven."
My next I hope shall be more worthy your attention.
MR. FENNO.
I have to complain of the partiality of the public prints, and to ask why so much noise is made because my friend,
(the little member) denounced both the Insurgents and the Excise in one, and the same publication. I say this not in blowing hot and cold in the same breath, as has been maliciously stated, but it was a fair and masterly electioneering stroke, to keep in with all parties:—Then why this harping always on the same string, while no public notice is taken of the strange appeal from Congress, to the State Assembly, signed by the Speaker of Congress, who is also a candidate, and therefore as fair game as the other gentleman.
A CITIZEN.
Accounts from the army at Carlisle from good authority, inform that our friends enjoy in general a remarkable degree of health—some slight indispositions from colds affect only a few—that every man in McPherson's blues is well; that the army prefers the cold weather, to the warm intervals we have had, that they are somewhat impatient to finish the business, & that it is expected the greater part will have to march to Pittsburgh.

BALTIMORE, October 8,
Extrait of a letter from Philadelphia dated the 6th inst.
"The Philadelphians, I think are acting the same part that your fellow citizens did last year. In spite of the most convincing facts they will maintain that there is no infectious fever here; and were it not for the kind interposition of providence in sending very cool weather I should have no doubt of the fever raging as much as last year. To carry on this deception, they have stopped the intercourse with Baltimore."
The committee of health report the following list of burials in the different places of interment of Baltimore town and its vicinity, for the last 24 hours, viz.

From the CONTINEL. A NEW CHAPTER—POLITICAL.
1. THIS is the Book of the generation and down-fall of Jacobinism:—
2. Brissot begat the Jacobin clubs of Paris—The Jacobin Clubs of Paris, begat Genet, and his French Brethren:
3. Genet begat the Democratic Societies in America: The Democratic Societies begat the Pittsburgh Rebellion and its consequences:
4. The Pittsburgh Rebellion begat an armament of Fifteen Thousand men:
5. The Armament of 15,000 men, will begat an expense of near Two Millions of dollars; of which all the people of the United States must bear a proportion:
6. The expense will begat an attention in the people, to its rise and origin: and,
7. That attention will begat the detection and downfall of Jacobinism, and its Clubs:
8. So all the generations, from Brissot to the downfall of Jacobinism, are eight generations.
This ends the first Political Chapter.
Mr. Fenno.
Mr. Brown's paper of last evening, contains the following paragraph:
"In all the squabbles and massacres of the Convention, the army, the city of Paris, and a very great majority of the rest of the people, have invariably stood by the successful party. This uniform adherence, and unanimity, afford a strong presumption, that many of these executions which appear so shocking, have been grounded on substantial justice."
Now an adversary to the successful party affords any proof or presumption that any of those executions which really are shocking, having been grounded on substantial justice is incomprehensible. That many of the victims of party fury have merited death is doubtless true—but that the approbation or acquiescence of the people in the indiscriminate massacres of parties of opposite parties, is founded in any principle whatever but that of terror, cannot be true.
The principle here laid down will justify perpetual executions, and in a more extensive sense than Pope ever meant when that whatever is, is right."

ALBANY, Oct. 6.
On the night of Saturday the 27th ult. the store occupied by Nathaniel Tolman, in Renfelaer-ville, and the house of Jonathan Hayton, adjoining, were consumed by fire.
Mr. Tolman being absent, Mr. Hayton was awakened by the noise of the flames, between the hours of 11 and 12 and on running out, discovered the inside of the store to be in a flame, and from the wind blowing strong from the west, rapidly advancing to his house; he immediately, with the assistance of his wife, carried out their children, and considerable part of their furniture, and before any aid could be had from the neighborhood, the rest was consumed.
In the store were a considerable quantity of goods; which, together with the store—books, notes, receipts, &c. were all consumed. As there has been no fire in the store for six months past, it is supposed that some malicious, designing person has broke in and set fire to the store.
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania have appointed the EXAMINATION of the Senior Class to be held on Monday the 20th of October instant, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon; & that degrees be conferred on such as shall be approved of, on Thursday, the 23d of the same month.

FROM realm to realm, with cross or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeon's dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank; To caves besrew'd with many a mould'ring bones, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And murmur'ing demons hate him, and admire.

Select Stories,
For the instruction and amusement of
Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools.
From the French of M. Berquin.
Extract from the Preface.
"To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of what is vulgar or puerile; a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing child ex, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem."
"Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative; or the animated points of conversation; whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature."
"Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (whichever such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author."
At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following

Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only, on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, navigable to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah. It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well watered meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every ten miles square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to
George Eddy.
