NATIONAL CONVENTION.   11 Pluviôse, 1792. Feb. 29.    The Members of the General Administration of East Flanders, sitting at Ghent, to the National Convention.    "Legislators, amid the united voices that express the general satisfaction produced by your inviolable attachment to the principles of liberty, equality, justice, and probity, the Administrators of East Flanders present the homage of their attachment, and express their eagerness to be effected the incorporation of this interesting part of Belgium with the French Republic. Yes, Legislators, the inhabitants of this fine country are worthy of being French citizens. The love of liberty, that sacred fire which burns in your hearts, burns also in theirs. Frank in their character, energetic in their sentiments, they daily express their joy at the recital of their new triumphs, which in the most rigorous season, produced to France the conquest of Holland. A great number of their countrymen have long since given other proofs of their attachment to the Republic. In your armies they have shed their blood for liberty, because they have felt its worth and abhorred every species of tyranny. They declare, that by releasing them from despotism you have restored to them their country, which they will cherish for ever: and that they feel in their hearts the principles and laws you have proclaimed. They would be at the height of their wishes if these salutary laws, were executed in Belgium. Can you, Legislators, refuse them the advantage of participating, in the war, and the prosperity of the French?"—Honorable mention and insertion in the bulletin.    1 Ventôse, Feb. 19.    Letter from the Representative of the People with the armies of the North, and Sambre and Meuse.    21 Ventôse, Feb. 25.    "Citizen colleagues—the central Administrators of Belgium request us to transmit to you an address, in which they express, in the most formal and precise terms, their wish for a speedy incorporation of their country with the French Republic. In doing this, they observe, that they are only the organs of a majority of the people, who are eager to bear the name of Frenchmen, and to be associated in the glory of which that name calls up the idea. We received at the same time, an address to the same effect from the commune of Mons. All the communes of Belgium express the same eagerness on this head; they all ardently desire that you would put an end to the state of uncertainty, in which their civil and political existence has fluctuated, since you for the second time refused them from the yoke of tyranny. We invite you to consider in your wisdom their demand, and to pronounce an union, which we have promised, in your name, and of which we think them worthy to receive the benefit. Health and fraternity."    PERES.    HAUSMANN.    The Members of the central Administration of Belgium, to the National Convention.    "Legislators, called by the authority of your colleagues, under the circumstances of difficulty to the important and delicate functions of the administration of Belgium, we were to keep two points in view; the glory, the prosperity of the Republic, and happiness of the inhabitants of the provinces. Such were the views of the Belgians who sat among us, such the views of the French who share out labours. Public confidence reposes upon us, and it shall not be deceived. The sound and enlightened part of the people of Belgium, have long aspired to a real incorporation with the French Republic. They have demanded it more than once, and the reception you gave their demand two years ago, nourished, the hope of their seeing the happy day in which they might say with enthusiasm "We are Frenchmen." Your colleagues by their proclamations, have already given to merited contempt, divers agents, whose self-sufficiency and conduct formed so singular a contrast to Republican manners. These proclamations tend to assure to the Belgians subsistence, and whatever is necessary for the preservation of their trade and manufactures. They have put a stop, in a great measure, to the evil of requisitions, and removed the impediments to commerce.    "Hasten, legislators, to complete our regeneration—Belgium has suffered enough. Too long has it vegetated with half its liberty; it is time that it should recover the whole, and resume its ancient station among the Gauls. Pronounce the union, and you will destroy the ramifications of libertine factions; you will silence the calumniators who insinuate to an honest and industrious people, that sacrifices have been required of them only to replunge them into slavery; you will defeat the hopes of those who for the reign of virtue, of justice, and the laws, would substitute a justly abhorred system of terror.    If the Belgians have sometimes suffered themselves to be misled by hypocrites, they are not less deserving of your esteem on that account, for what people are there whose energy has not been paralyzed at some time or another, by ambitious men or pretended patriots? to you legislators, it was reserved to lay the unperishable foundations of a republic, in which the love of principles will be the sole guide of the citizens. Recollect, however, that the Belgians, destitute of all means, and strong only in their courage, chased away their despot while France was still groaning under hers. While Batavia was receiving chains in an ambitious woman,    did not Belgium, in 1787, give the first signal of the glorious revolution which you have accomplished? did not Belgium, in 1787, give the first commotion to the conductor, whose parts electrified twenty-five millions of men, who enjoy liberty? did not 30 battalions of Belgians and Liegeois, share the perils of the republic? No, legislators, you will not suffer this people to be any longer an object of traffic, for the tyrants of London, of Vienna, and Berlin. The French people will not make slaves. That generous people which merits the admiration of the universe, is formed to love the Belgians, and to fraternize with them. Why delay proclaiming this union? It is then that the people of these countries will see their wounds begin to heal; and that their numerous sacrifices will seem light, because they will be sure of reaping the benefit by them. Hasten then, legislators, when our inhabitants shall go to learn of your Areopagus hatred of tyrants and love of virtue; when our youth trained up in republican principles, will early accustom themselves to fight in defence of liberty and equality. The wish of honest men is to see our destinies united to those of France. This is our dearest hope, the only safety of Belgium. Vive la Convention! Vive la Republique! "    Done at Brussels, in the sitting of the 23d Pluviôse.    (Feb. 11) third Republican year. Honourable mention and insertion in the bulletin.    From the New-York Evening Post.    SPECTATOR.    There is a history in all men's lives, Figuring the nature of the times deceas'd The subtle observer's, a man may prophefy With a near aim of the main chance of things As yet not come to life. HENRY IV.    WHAT MIGHTY CONSEQUENCES ARE THE RESULT OF SMALL THINGS.    A LUDICROUS, though not unfrequent circumstance, which happened a few days ago, within the scope of my personal observation, gave rise to the following reflections. But first let me relate the circumstance. Two children whose parents lived contiguous to each other, were playing in the street. Happening to disagree about a ball, a marble, or some other such trivial thing, a contest ensued; for some time it was maintained with equal virulence, entirely unobserved by any of the connections of either: but as might be expected, that was not long the case; a few minutes saw a troop of under domestics of both sexes, and different colours, assembled to witness the contest. None failed to charge his neighbour's child with being the aggressor. Every one was sure that their own was too good and gentle, to enter into a quarrel without a provocation: In short, all being persons of too nice honour, to enter into wordy argument, a speedy and promiscuous trial of blows, was the unavoidable consequence; and now the argument becoming so serious, as to arrest the entire attention of each individual in both families, a short space of time, witnessed them assembled in confused groups, before their respective doors; and whilst the heads of each were diligently enquiring, concerning the merits or demerits of this ludicrous case, the female part of both were at least equally ingenious, in their too well established talent of loquacity; and as both were quite certain of the innocence of their respective members, they withdrew, not without considerable threats of vengeance, if any further disagreement should take place, and fowing, in bitter epithets, the seeds of animosity.    This though in miniature, I conceive to be a just emblem of a very important feature, in the history of mankind. If we take it into a view, either as it respects the defects or virtues of the human race, it holds equally good. Vice seldom plunges into the depths of guilt at once; it commonly commences with precaution; and actuated by success, in a gradual increasing system of depredation, till finally overpowered by its own engines, it falls an un-pitied victim, in the ruins of that fabric it had raised by extortion. Virtue also, judged by a similar criterion. A man seldom, (I may say never) becomes acquainted with her intrinsic value at once; the light dawns upon him gradually, and in proportion as its beams increase the reflected splendors striking upon him with a progressive motion, he becomes more and more enamored of its charms; till at last being quite initiated in her rules, he moves steadily in the same path; and as she becomes second nature, he seldom imbibes the baneful juices of corruption, sensible that he would justly incur, the most opprobrious censure, were he to deviate from the course he had chosen.    Finally, in whatever point of view we consider it, it is more or less connected with the history of mankind. Ask we, how a powerful conspiracy rose in Rome, which made the very foundations of that puissant republic to totter? I answer from an insignificant number of slaves.    From what cause proceeded that obstinate contest, between the two most powerful nations, existing in those ages, the Republics of Rome and Carthage, and which eventually ended with the destruction of the latter? I answer, it originated from a paltry disagreement, respecting the possession of an insignificant island, which nature had unfortunately placed between them; an eternal bone of contention, and the occasion of the premature death of innocent thousands! What caused the death of Imperial Caesar? I answer, because Cæsar, conceiving Cæsar was more powerful, or fortunate than himself, by putting daggers in the hands of a few misled desperadoes, accomplished that which combined thousands    had attempted in vain! With respect to more important revolutions, its operations are not dissimilar. A single remnant, by a single inadvertency, caused a ten years war, which ended with the destruction of a whole people! The hand of a single fanatical, struck a dagger to the heart, and freed the island of Syracuse, from the depredations of a notorious tyrant! The astonished exertions of a single individual, freed Great Britain from the yoke of an almost absolute monarchy! And although the regal system has since been revived in that kingdom, it was not till the constitution had been entirely altered and modified. It is true, the revolution in France originated in a long series of tyranny and oppression. But at the same time it should be remembered, that the sole circumstance of calling together a few individuals, from the different extremities of that extensive and populous country, not only overturned, more completely than was intended, the former established system; but also opened a channel to that vast field of argument and uncertainty, in the most inextricable labyrinth which that nation is now so deeply enveloped. What may be its final result, it would be considered as a presumption even to conjecture; but we may safely aver, that the language of a celebrated Dramatic poet, is completely applicable to their present situation.    Confusion and disorder seize the world; To spoil all trust and converse among men, 'Twixt families engender endless feuds; In countries needless fears, in cities factions In states rebellion, and in churches schism! Till all things move against the course of nature; Till forms dissolv'd, the chain of causes broken, And the original of Being lost. M.    From the Columbian Centinel.    Mr. RUSSELL.    I was not a little surprised at seeing the following observation of Citizen Fauchet, in a speech which he made at a civic festival at Philadelphia: it appears to me to be evidently evincive of a disposition to meddle in the affairs of the United States, and to prejudice our citizens against the treaty lately reported by Mr. Jay. The sentiment is as follows:    "The alliances among free people resemble the friendship which exists among virtuous men, in which they do not suffer the wicked to partake:—May free people then never receive into the number of their allies, despots who declare and wage war on those nations that struggle to break their fetters."    As the cloven foot of this sentiment is visible, notwithstanding the amiable covering which it wears, I should wish to enquire of my fellow citizens, what they think would be the conduct of the French National Convention should Mr. Monroe tell them, during their present negotiations with the kings of Prussia and Spain, or their late one with the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and with the Turkish Sultan, "That a free people ought not to receive such despots among the number of their allies?" Would that body submit to be thus lessened by a Foreign Minister! Would they not direct the Committee of Public Safety to procure his immediate recall? That they would do the latter is highly probable! The United States is a republic, as well as France, and is entitled to equal national respect.    But, Mr. Printer, does Mr. Fauchet remember, that the instrument which makes the French and Americans allies was made with one whom he will call a despot, Louis XVI. and that his insinuation is an imputation on the United States, for having made that alliance? If he does, the citizens of the United States can feel themselves under very small obligations to him for his observation. If the French minister will take the pains to read the debates in the French National Convention; or will advert to the liberal policy of the influential men of his nation, he must soon be convinced of the impropriety of his insinuation: But, if he should be found attempting to interfere with the government of this country, a doubt cannot be entertained of his being recalled; and that "The President of the United States," to avenge the insult offered to the majesty of the people, will apply therefor.    We wish not to notice the effervescence of a convivial moment; but the sentiment expressed by the French minister having been echoed and re-echoed by persons who have long laboured under suspicion of being the hired agents of foreign powers, to propagate principles hostile to the Peace of the United States, it becomes the duty of those who respect themselves, as Americans, to check them in their progress, or to point the index to their foofs.    THE VOICE OF THOUSANDS.    From the Columbian Centinel.    Mr. RUSSELL.    LAST Wednesday the Middlesex Medical Society, held their semi-annual meeting at Concord, when a public discourse was delivered in the meeting-house, by Dr. Waterhouse, Professor of Medicine in the University of Cambridge. An analysis of this discourse, will doubtless be    agreeable to the readers of the Centinel, as it gained great applause by combining solid learning with agreeable entertainment.    It was an illustration of a sentence in the Doctor's former discourse before the same body, viz. "that the classical poets had represented Apollo , not only as the primary God of physic , but of musick also; that they likened the human body to a delicate musical instrument, easily disordered; hence they united the art of musick , and medicine in the person of Apollo ; because they conceived, that the office of a physician was to tune this complicated organ, the human body, to make every part act in concert, and to preserve the whole in harmony."    The Doctor gave, first, a cursory description of the human body, beginning with a fibre, which he called ultimatum or ne plus ultra of the anatomist. And after describing the nervous , and sanguineous systems, he displayed on the co-operation or conspiration of the various parts, forming an harmonious whole. Such a state was perfect health , or in the language of the ancients, the delicate musical instrument in exact tune. A disease was said to be a discord, from a defect, or excess of the conspiring actions of a part, or the whole of the machine, especially of those delicate strings derived from the brain, called the nerves; and death was when these "silver cords were broken."    The animating principle or vitality , which gave it breath, and sat the whole in motion, was then described. And here the Doctor observed the comparison failed, for that the most perfect machine ever constructed by human ingenuity, was totally destitute of any provision against that waste and wear , the consequence of its continued motion: whereas, an animal was endowed with a principle of reparation and self-preservation , and that these two important resources of supply and renovation possessed by animal life, constituted that effort towards a perpetuity of existence, which so peculiarly characterizes the works of the Supreme Creator, in contradistinction to those of man. The resisting and preserving principles were next illustrated, to show that an animal was not a mere machine that received and suffered injuries without resistance, but possessed a principle, which being roused and rendered uneasy from a sense of pain, bent the whole force of that influence to repel the attacks of the enemy; and that this was what Cullen called the vires medicatrix naturæ , or the healing power of nature.    The Doctor described the centinels which are placed to guard the life of man from destruction, should his reason be insufficient. These he said were hunger , thirst , and pain , and that they were under the immediate command of instinct , and that on their warnings depended the safety of our bodies. He observed, however, that a prudent physician must not remain an idle spectator of nature's efforts in attempting her own cure; but must exercise his judgment in restraining them when too violent, and exciting them when too languid. All these operations constitute what is called the animal economy , and which is as perfect in the brutal Hottentot, as in the brightest genius of the human race; but that over and above all this, there was found something in man of quite a different nature from those instinctive operations, viz. a power of thinking, comparing, and representing, past, present, and to come, that this soul , or immaterial thinking part of man was connected with the material or corporal part of him especially with the nervous system , inasmuch that the harmony was often broken by the body operating on the mind, and the mind on the body again. After exhibiting the system in perfect tune , he next described it out of tune , when there was no visible alteration of its structure, as in nervous disorders . The description of that tumultuous crowd of distressing and puzzling symptoms, partly real and chiefly imaginary, which torment the patient, and perplex the physician, was depicted in a manner novel and entertaining, and sufficiently showed, that it was a dreadful thing to be out of tune, whether it arose from luxurious effeminacy, eastwinds , whim, actual disease, or all together, and how much judgment and delicacy were requisite on the part of the physician to adjust its jarring chords.    The sympathies between the minds of different persons, were next spoken of. From this source, it was said, flowed compassion for the distress of others, and to this head was referred the effects of encouragement or discouragement, whether in individuals or societies, and which was particularly applied to the Middlesex Medical Association. The speaker concluded with saying, "we court the countenance of the good and virtuous, not to assist us to make fortunes on the diseases and distress of our neighbours; but to render the practice of physic more simple and more intelligible—to banish quackery and imposture, to encourage the properly educated, honest physician, who shall be able to preserve to us, that greatest of all blessings—A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY."    Boston, May 6, 1795.    The curious in the fine arts, have an opportunity to indulge themselves, by viewing a complete Miniature in glass , of a French frigate of 36 guns, in which every part and proportion is observed with the nicest accuracy; while the philosopher who views it, will contemplate with satisfaction, that " clangore tubarum " have not impeded the progress of the arts in a Republic, the most conspicuous on the Theatre of the world.    From the Federal Gazette. NEW SONG.    THE GENTLEMAN PARSON.    SINCE bards are all willing, pray why may not I? Tho' but a poor rhymester, for once I will try. The life, that I chuse, would be pleasant to scarce one, Yet the life, that I chuse, is the life of a parson. Fift on me, kind heaven, a fortune be-flow, Too high for contempt and for envy too low, On which I with prudence may hope to subsist, Should I be for my damnable doctrine dismissed. In a rich farming village, where P—s shall plead, And D—r feel pulles, give physic, and bleed, Where A—t the youths and the children shall teach, There may I be called and there settled to preach. Not damning a man for a different opinion, I'd mix with the calvinist, baptist, armian, Treat each like a man, like a christian and brother, Preach love to our Maker, ourselves and each other. On a snug little farm, I'd provide me a seat, With buildings all simple, substantial and neat; Some sheep and some cattle my pastures to graze, And a middle-prized poney, to draw my new chaise. When I find it no longer "good being alone," May a mild rural nymph "become house of my bone;" Not sized, like a puppet, on fashion's stiff wires, But who can be gentle, when occasion requires: Whose wealth is not money, whose beauty's not paint; Not an in-dol romp, nor a four-hearted faint; Whose religion's not heat, and her virtue not coldness, Nor her modesty fear, nor her wit manly boldness. Thus settled, with care I'd apportion my time To my sermons, my garden, my wife, and my rhyme, To teach the untaught, and to better the bad, To laugh with the merry, and weep with the sad. At the feast, where religion might be a spectator, Where friendship presided, and mirth was a waiter, I'd fear not to join with the good-humored clan, And prove that a parson may still be a man. Thus blest, may my life be slid smoothly away, And I still grow more grave, as my hair grows more grey; With age may the hope of the christian increase, And threw life's descent with the blossoms of peace. And when we leave this world, as leave it we must, With rapture meet death, and sink into the dust, With a tear in each eye may the parish all say, "They were a kind pair, and did good in their day."    SANTEE CANAL.    Colonel SENEFF has completed his view and plan of the projected Canal between Santee and Cooper rivers, and on the 27th inst. laid it before the directors, who were highly pleased therewith. From this, accompanied with his explanation, it appeared—      That the canal from the Santee river to the Bason, which is a distance of half a mile, will be completed in four weeks with the hands employed at the spot.  1-2    That from the bason the canal is already completed.  2 1-2    From thence there are cut down to the level of the surface of the canal,  2    From thence there remains to be cut down to the level three feet deep,  1-4    From thence to a lock, thro' land that lies level to the surface of the canal,  2 1-4    From thence to a fall and another lock,  1-2    From thence on a level to Mr. Rene Ravenell's, near the public road, and where there is to be a landing place for the neighborhood,  4 1-2    From thence to another lock between Daniell Ravenell and Stephen Mazyck, Esq.  1    From thence to the bason at Mr. Simpson's,  3 1-4    From thence to Stoney landing, which is a distance of four miles, will be completed in three    

four weeks, with the hands now there employed, 4 Total, 21  From the whole of which statement it appears, that the distance of seven miles will be completed in four weeks; and the remaining fourteen miles are likely to be attended with so little difficulty, and so much is already done in various parts thereof, that Colonel Seuf, as undertaker of the work, has assured the directors, that, with his present force, he will be able to complete a mile every month from and after the 1st day of June, 1795. The public may therefore indulge the well-founded hope, that the whole will be finished so early in the summer of 1796, as to give an opportunity of bringing the crop that year through the canal to market.  The plan of the work is left with Mr. Davis, the Secretary of the company, for inspection of the Stockholders.  Published by order of the board of directors of the Saitee canal company.

By this Day's Mail.  NEW-YORK, May 13. Yesterday afternoon 24 brass cannon, lately from the foundry at Springfield, were paraded on the battery for the purpose of being proved—On their being discharged, 13 unfortunately burst.—Tho' a great number of spectators were present, none, as we have learned, received any injury, which indeed is a miracle—for the pieces of metal flew in every direction, several of them falling through the roofs of houses in various parts of the city.—It is evident from the appearance of the metal of which these pieces are composed that it is likely to burst with the force of even a faint charge of powder, it being apparently very much adulterated with a brittle and a porous substance, somewhat like pig-iron. Many censures are uttered against the founder—but whether just or not, we shall not pretend to say, as the circumstance of itself is sufficiently important to induce an investigation, and which, no doubt, will be laid before the public by those who are concerned in providing for the arsenal.  Yesterday the following gentlemen were elected directors of the Bank of New York: Gulian Verplanck, Joshua Waddington, William Seton, Samuel Franklin, Charles Smith, Comfort Sands, John McVickar, Nich. Gouverneur, Richard Varick, Daniel McCormick, Herman Le Roy, John H. Thompson, Moses Rogers.  Extract of a letter from a young gentleman in Brest, to his father in this city, dated 13th March, 1795. "Since the fall of Robespierre, their government is mild; nothing but murder is punished with death. Imprisonment and hard labor are the principal punishments inflicted now." "Captain Bompard has been tried for breaking the French line, and is broke. I herewith send you a Price-Current."  PRICE CURRENT of American Produce at Brest, 13th March, 1795.   Dollars. Cents.  Beef per barrel, 19 50  Pork per ditto, 25 00  Flour per ditto, 16 00  Candles per lb. 26  Butter per lb. 26   Pot-As and Tobacco, I cannot exactly tell the price, but both articles are high.  Leather per lb. 28.  Shoes, about the price they were in New-York before we failed.  All the above articles if you sell to government, (which is the only way you can dispose of a cargo at this port at present) you must take in exchange prize goods of different kinds, which they value at a very high rate. Brandy at 1 1-2 dollar per gallon, or assignats at par, which are currently passing five livres for one, in silver or gold.  Soap is at present the best article that can be sent to Brest, it will sell at 50 cents per lb. in silver or gold.  ARRIVED at this PORT.   Days.  Ship Hope, Hayley London 52  Sloop Endeavour, Hubble Boston  Sally, Hall New Providence.   Capt. Henry, of the brig Diana, from Gonive, has very obligingly communicated to the Printer of the Diary the following particulars of the engagements before St. Marc's:—  On the 11th of April, news arrived at Gonive of an attack having been made on St. Marc's by a detachment of Mulattoes and Blacks, being part of
the army commanded by Gen. Toussan. The engagement began on that day at 4 P. M. and continued until 10 the next morning, during the night a detachment of the British force, by a circuitous route got in the rear of the Republicans, and attacked them—the army of Toussan, supposing it to be a reinforcement from Port au Prince, did not perceive their deception, until the British got considerable advantage, at this time Toussan, was encamped on a fortified eminence which commanded the Hill of Bellair, on which the principal fort of the British was built, and perceiving the loss his troops were likely to sustain if he defended an attack on the British, took their drums, and several colors, and repulsed them with considerable loss.  The succeeding day Toussan made an attack on the Port of Bellair, and carried it; but not having left a sufficient force in his principal fortification, it was stormed and took possession of by the British on the same evening: he was then obliged to abandon the Port of Bellair, after having spiked up the guns.  After losing those advantageous positions, the principal part of his troops deserted him, and notwithstanding every effort to collect them together, he did not succeed, and was obliged to retreat with the remainder of his army, by which means the British were left in full possession of St. Marc's, and the forts adjacent.  During the engagements, immense loss in killed and wounded was sustained by Toussan's army, Capt. Henry could not learn the number, as those who came in after the action were unwilling to communicate any thing respecting them.  On the 11th April, about 400 troops (mulattoes and blacks) arrived at Gonive, to defend the town from an attack which was hourly expected, three British frigates with troops having been ordered round from Port au Prince for that purpose.  In consequence of the above engagements, an embargo was laid at Gonive on the second of April, and taken off on the 20th, at which time Capt. Henry failed.  Capt. Henry failed in company with the sloop Peterborough Packet, Capt. Deshong bound for this port, and parted company with him on the 27th ult. being then in lat. 23, long. 72.  Capt. Henry on his passage spoke the following vessels.  On the 30th April in lat. 27, long. 73, the sloop Gen. Green, Captain Stanton from Africa, bound to Savannah with 90 slaves on board, out 40 days all well.  On the 2d May, in lat. 30, long. 74, a brig from Kingston, (Jam.) bound to Newburyport, out 13 days; the Capt. of which informed him, that 40 sail of vessels had arrived at Kingston; which was part of the fleet of 700 sail, destined for the relief of the West-India Islands.  On the application of the Editor of this paper to Captain Morrel of the brig Chatham from Guadalupe, he has obligingly communicated the following, respecting the situation of that country.  Capt. Morrel failed from Guadalupe on the 25th April, a few days previous to which, a requisition for all the young men from the age of 15 to 30 was made, and from the force collecting, it was supposed they intended making a descent on Martinique.  Capt. Morrel mentions that the fortifications in the island of Guadalupe were in the most complete state of defence, were all garrisoned, and the troops in high health and spirits.  A few days previous to the sailing of Capt. M. a guillotine was made at Basse-terre, and sent over to St. Lucia by a French frigate.  Capt. Morrel also informs us that the greatest part of the fleet from England had gone to leeward, and that the British force in the windward islands were but little augmented since their arrival.  NEW-LONDON, May 7. Extract of a letter from a merchant at Calcutta, Bengal, to a gentleman in this city, dated Nov. 1/4, 1794.  "The commerce of this country has been much affected by French cruizers which three stout British frigates could have completely prevented, but which consideration the British ministry did not appear to be aware of until lately, when a respectable marine force arrived at Madras, sufficient in itself to protect the future trade of India; and also to be equal (with the aid of a few thousand troops) to disposess the French of the remnant of territory they now hold in these seas: The inhabitants of the island of Bourbon will receive the British flag with open arms, and even at the Mauritius they have become so completely tired of the oppression of their present rulers, as anxiously to wish for a change, in which I presume they will soon be gratified, as in the course of a few months it is conjectured a considerable force will go against both places from this and Madras."  Died at New-Haven, Rev. Dr. Stiles, President of Yale College.  LEXINGTON, April 14. About two weeks ago, some of the spies who are stationed at Point Pleasant, were out on a scout; one of them had got a little in advance of the rest, saw an Indian
fire at and killed him, then ran up to scalp him, and while in the act of scalping, discovered he was nearly surrounded by about 30 Indians. His own party hearing the report of a gun rushed forward, but on discovering they were likely to be overpowered by numbers, retreated precipitately; and were followed by their companion, who made his escape, without receiving any injury, altho' a number of guns were fired at him.  The whole of the spies being eight in number, got safe to the station, after being pursued a considerable distance by the Indians.  A few days since, a party of men belonging to Massie's station, who were out hunting, fell in with an Indian camp, in which they found a quantity of skins and furs, and brought them to the station. The following night, a horse was stolen by the Indians, and next morning a large party went in pursuit of them, but returned without being able to overtake the savages.  From the Knoxville Gazette.  MR. KOULSTONE, It is the request of the Grand Jury of the district of Hamilton, that you publish the presentment of grievances herewith sent, in the next number of the Knoxville Gazette; and that you forward one copy of that number to the Secretaries of the War and Treasury departments.  I am, Sir, your's, &c. JAMES WHITE, Foreman.  Territory South of Ohio. Hamilton District, Superior Court of Law, April Term, 1795.  WE, the Grand Jurors for the district of Hamilton, and Territory of the United States of America, South of the river Ohio, do present as grievances:  First. That the executive officers of the general government have withheld the pay of the militia, who in 1793, followed the trail of the army of Creeks and Cherokees, consisting of upwards of one thousand warriors, who had killed Alexander Cavit and family, &c. within eight miles of Knoxville, into their towns, under the pretence that such pursuit, although authorised by the person exercising the office of governor, was an offensive operation .  Second. That taxation should be extended to this country, without representation in the federal legislature, as in the case of the excise on ardent spirits. Declaring, however, the law imposing an excise upon ardent spirits politically wise and just, as to such parts of the United States as are represented in the federal legislature.*  Third. That as ample protection has not been afforded to the inhabitants of this territory, as to the inhabitants of states having representation in Congress, viz. the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia, North-Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, when our sufferings unprovoked, and without cause, at the hands of the Cherokees and Creeks, have been in a ten fold degree to the whole of those states.  Fourth. That a delay or neglect has taken place in paying those militia, for the withholding whereof the executive officers of the general government are without pretext, while the mounted infantry of Kentucky have been paid in advance, at the commencement of service, and the militia of all other descriptions, belonging to the state have received compensation immediately after.

Sevier's brigade, in service in the year 1793, which did not pursue the Creeks and Cherokees, meaning those Creeks and Cherokees who murdered Cavit's family; and the pay of the militia for the year 1794, except those who destroyed Nickajack and the Running Water, and deposited the same in the hands of the Agent of the Departments of War.  NORFOLK, May 9. From the Herald.  Thursday arrived here the sloop Betsey Capt. Foller, from St. Eustatia. Captain F. informs, that on the 5th April, a second flag of truce arrived at St. Eustatia from Guadalupe to demand the island, which was immediately complied with. All the English vessels in the harbour cut or slipped their cables and put to sea; that the Fort fired at several of them, but they all escaped; the flag of truce immediately set off for St. Martins to obtain troops to keep possession of the island. Capt. Foller was ashore at the time of its surrender, and says that all the merchants and people of property had gone off to St. Thomas's.  Same day arrived the brig Lively, Capt. Galt, from Antigua, in 19 days. By this vessel we learn that a thousand troops, which came in the English fleet, had gone
to Grenada, and a thousand to St. Vincent and St. Lucie.  The Schooner Little Torn, Livingston, was to sail for this port about the 24th of April.  The brig Carey, Waller, to sail at the same time.  The Schooner Thomas Jefferson, Capt. Couff, failed at the same time to leeward for a market.  The brig William Pennock failed at the same time for St. Croix.  British Consul's Office, Norfolk, 8th May, 1795.  Mr. Willet, I request you will insert the following for the information of the public.  Your's, &c. J. HAMILTON.  [Here follows the article which we published on the 9th inst.]  Norfolk, May 6, 1795.  SIR, THE Executive of this State having revoked their instructions given to me, to require the departure of the vessels of war of the belligerent nations, and of their receiving any aid, assistance or comfort from any inhabitants of this Commonwealth—I hereby notify the same to you, and am instructed to notify to the Commanders of any fleet, squadron or vessel of any belligerent nation, who shall clearly and unequivocally use the rivers, or other waters of Virginia, as a station, in order to carry on hostile expeditions from thence—that the President deems such conduct to be contrary to the rights of neutrality, and that a demand of retribution will be urged upon their Government, for prizes which may be made in consequence thereof.  I am your obedient servant, THOMAS NEWTON. John Hamilton, Esq.  PORT OF NORFOLK. ENTRIES.   Brig Lively, Galt, Antigua.  Schooner Sally, Leffingwell, Jamaica.  Sloop Betsey, Foller, Martinique.   BOSTON, May 9. REVISION OF CONSTITUTION. Alterations of forms of government in Europe, have been almost invariably attended by convulsion and bloodshed. It was reserved for America to exhibit to the world an example of a people meeting together peaceably to digest their Constitutions, and orderly to alter, or abolish them—An instance of this was given in this Commonwealth on Wednesday last when the citizens thereof, assembled to discuss the question, whether a revision of their constitution was necessary or expedient? In this town, the question was amply discussed at Faneuil Hall; and all parties at first seemed agreed, that such was the perfection of the system, and such the happiness enjoyed under it, that a revision was not necessary: But as the Constitution pointed out only one period (the present) for the discussion of its revision, fears were apprehended of the consequences which would arise were it left without a period to which the people could look forward, as a time when their right to discuss the question though always inherent, would be called into actual operation. To effect this, without a revision of the constitution, various expedients were proposed none of which appeared to meet the general approbation, and on the question of revision, the numbers were,   For the Revision 78  Against it 49   It should be remarked here, as it frequently was in the Hall, that the thinness of the meeting was a strong argument, that our fellow citizens did not with the alteration of the principles of the constitution.  May 11.  The town of Charleston have voted a revision.  In Newburyport, 10 for, and 42 against a revision.  The inhabitants of Haverhill were unanimous against a revision.  At Bradford about 50 assembled, one only for a revision.  From the towns within the reach of our information, it is not probable that two thirds of the people will be in favor of a revision of the Constitution.  BROOKFIELD, May 6. A nest of counterfeiters have been lately discovered in Ware, Greenwich, &c. four of whom, viz. David Amour, Ebenezer Young, Thomas Blackner and Oliver Newton, were convicted at the Supreme court held last week in Northampton. Blackner was on Monday introduced to the post, and saluted with twenty stripes—Young, passed yesterday thro' this town under an escort, on his way to the castle, where he has received an appointment for three years. It is said they have been concerned in this infamous business for several years.  PORT OF PHILADELPHIA. ARRIVED.

PROPOSALS
Will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue , For Building a LIGHT HOUSE ,
On Sequin Island, near the mouth of Kennebec river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dimensions and Description.
The form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth; and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart fine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base, where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden building from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be canted with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, bedded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or flanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These flanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the posts to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the south-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel; thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be 4 pair of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete.
Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof, to be twenty six feet or thereabout in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practicable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eighteen inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House to be seven feet and one half in clear. The roof to have an eight-gutter pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet join'd to the ends of the Kitchen and sitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys is to be between the Kitchen and sitting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each sash is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and hinges. The doors are to be hung and furnished completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the House are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well painted, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.
An oil vault is to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear, arched over and covered with earth or sand over which a shed is to be built—It is to be furnished with nine strong cedar cisterns, with covers, each capable of containing two hundred gallons. The entrance to the vault is to be secured by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket and rope completely. The builder is to procure and
pay, for all materials, labor, workmanship, provisions and other objects of cost charge or expense for a sum to be proposed and agreed upon, and to execute the before described work, and every part thereof in a good and workmanlike manner.
Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made. April 17. t&fif.

1. Charlotte, a tale of truth,
By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artfully and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is no, we think, properly distribut'd."
2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols. 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the State of Virginia—by Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brillon. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
"The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every cenurable action, whether were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which to noble a cause is endangered and disgraced."
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
"We have certainly derived much pleasure and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind."

The American Museum is not only eminently calculated to disseminate political and other valuable information, but it has been uniformly conducted with tact, attention, & propriety.
