BOOKS, PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Mathew Carey, No. 118, Market Street, 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.] Extratu from the Critical Review, April 1793, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural; and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte: by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity; or the regularity of her former conduct, is en- ticed 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 incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pun- ishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. 2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 3/4 cents. 3.

"The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves 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 considerable action, whoever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican. They love liberty as En- glish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so 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

The truly just and federal sentiments which the following charges contain render them worthy of republication—it is not recollected that they have been published in the papers of this city.
A CHARGE delivered by Judge ANDERSON, to the Grand Jury of the district of Hamilton, in the Territory South of Ohio, at October term, 1794. [Published at their request.]
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
THE principles upon which the citizens of the United States entered into social compact, for the preservation of their lives, their liberties, and their fortunes, are equally obligatory upon every citizen in the Union. Those principles comprehend all the duties required in a free and well regulated government; amongst those duties a due obedience to the laws is considered the greatest—for our laws are founded upon our constitution, which guarantees the rights and privileges of every citizen. Hence it follows, that he who deliberately opposes the laws, laps the very foundation of government. In all republican governments the authority of the laws is derived from the people; which renders it more immediately the duty of all good citizens, not only to observe the laws themselves, but as far as their influence may extend, compel observance of them in others; for the transgression of the law by any one or more citizens, is a crime against every member of society, for whose benefit the laws are made.
All republican governments are formed for the happiness of the people—and if the citizens of the United States are not as happy under their present form of government, as falls to the lot of mortals, the fault must be in themselves, and not in government: for it is universally admitted, that the present form of government within the United States, is as nearly perfect as could be formed by human wisdom—it is the admiration of the world. But perfect as it is, it will require a strict and steady adherence to its first principles, to render it permanent; and a due obedience to its laws to render it respectable. The consequence, and I may add the dignity of government, depends upon the support of its constitution and its laws. If either are infringed with impunity, the government soon grows contemptible, and the citizens become disorderly. Hence it is indispensably necessary that every crime against the constitution and the laws should be punished in an exemplary manner; and it is through you alone, gentlemen, that the law can be made effectually to operate against those who either wantonly or wickedly transgress its precepts.
In a republican government the citizens generally expect more indulgence than is consistent with its principles; but every citizen ought to know, that on entering into society, we are necessitated to submit to some restraints, to forego some natural rights, in order to secure certain privileges and benefits, on which depends all our happiness: For there could not be a more ineligible situation, than that every man's will should be his rule of action, or that the will of the minority should be submitted to by the majority; for this would be subversive of the principles of our government, and radically destroy its very existence. If then, gentlemen, we mean to live in social compact—if we mean to support our constitution and preserve our mutual happiness, we must not only submit to the laws ourselves, but we must use our utmost endeavours to support them. If we do not, we may go on from small indulgences to greater, until by habit, the citizens acquire, as they conceive, a right to act independent of law and government, and at length set them both at defiance. Confidence in the general government—an adherence to the principles of the constitution—and a due observance of its laws, are the true characteristics of a good citizen.
Having pointed out these duties, which I consider incumbent upon every citizen, I will call your attention more immediately to consider the local situation and happiness of this country.—One great source of inquietude; and which has very much affected the citizens of this Territory, is our peculiar situation with respect to the Indian nations. That some of those nations are faithless, is a truth well known. But that there are treaties existing between them and the United States is also known—That those treaties have been infringed on the part of the Indians, cannot be denied: But the United States have nevertheless from necessary motives of policy, considered those treaties, as obligatory on their part; and upon the principles of
our constitution, which vests Congress, with a right of making peace and war, we are bound as good citizens to act in conformity with their determination.
From the observation which I have had an opportunity of making, upon the conduct and disposition of the citizens of this government, I feel confident, that it is almost every man's wish to preserve peace and order therein—and I think you will agree with me, when I pronounce, that no consideration whatever, but that of self-preservation, can possibly justify any infringement of, or deviation from the law.
The late punishment of the Creek Indian, for the murder of Ish, must shew the determination of government, when the guilty can be found: Then let me most earnestly advise you, not to be your own avengers (except in cases of personal safety) but rest your hope on the due administration of the laws; such a line of conduct, will insure to the people of this Territory, the affection of the general government, and induce her to extend with more ample hand, her kind protection to her suffering frontier citizens.
To observe this line of conduct we have other strong inducements; the upper Cherokees are now our friends—And permit me to ask you, Is it not our interest, our duty, to preserve and cultivate that friendship? They are a barrier between us and the hostile Creeks, and if managed with good policy, prudence and discretion, may long remain so: But should any citizen be so hardy, as to over leap the bounds of duty, and in defiance of the laws, unwarrantably attack the friendly Cherokees, this Territory will not only be involved in a war with them, but the whole frontier will be again exposed to the wanton depredations of the perfidious and barbarous Creeks.
Upon ourselves, it now depends, whether to choose peace or war; I am authorised to say, that even John Watts (who has hitherto considered himself secure from attacks) has sent in peace talks; the probability, therefore, is, that a peace may now take place, if the prudence of our own citizens will afford Watts an opportunity of availing himself of his present pacific disposition: And it is what we ought earnestly to desire—for peace with the Indians will secure the settlement and happiness of this country; and to your own experience I appeal, whether war will not destroy it. In full confidence, that you will by precept and example endeavour to preserve good order in the government, I commend you to your duty, and the author of all our earthly happiness.
To the Honourable the Judges of the Territory of the United States of America south of the river Ohio.
Hamilton District, Oct. 22, 1794.
THE Grand Jurors for the District of Hamilton request, that for the good of the community, the address delivered by his Honor, Judge Campbell, on dismissing the Jury, be inserted in the Knoxville Gazette.
JOHN M'NABB, Foreman.
THE ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
AFTER a long session, we have finished the business which came before us, permit me to assure you, that your duty has been performed with faithfulness and great punctuality.
You now see, Gentlemen, that the Federal Government extends her influence to the remotest corners of her Territories; and be assured she will always be strictly punctual in the execution of her laws.
In the Western Counties of Pennsylvania, an opposition arose to some of the laws of the Federal Government, particularly to the excise. What is likely to be the consequence of the opposition? Ruin and disgrace await the leaders—submission, shame, and confusion must be the lot of the whole party.—Have we not sworn to support the Constitution of the United States? Is the obligation of an oath of no avail? Let the people here take warning from the error of their neighbours. Beware that you do not stumble on the same rock.
The excise is now extended to this Territory; and I am extremely happy to find there is no murmuring on the occasion. Why should there be any discontent? Are not those laws always reckoned good, which tax superfluities and luxuries? But take it on a larger scale, and you will find the excise will be of real service to the good distillers. It will discourage only those who cannot carry on the business with effect; and you know quacks in any profession are a great evil. You all agree that without funds, government cannot be
supported. Taxes, then, are necessary; and sure I am, those on luxuries are least exceptionable.
Some people oppose the execution of the laws without having any rational cause for doing so, and lead astray the unthinking multitude, before they are aware of the evil or the danger. You, gentlemen, have heard the laws explained; you have seen the guilty brought to punishment under the authority of those laws, and, doubtless, you find them very salutary to this country. Indeed, unless the laws are faithfully observed government cannot long exist. General laws, as has often been observed by civilians, may sometimes bear hard on local interest; but it is a maxim in government, that the minority must accede to the voice of the majority.—Good citizens will not be always influenced by selfish views; they will take into consideration the good of the whole community. Be not suspicious that your rights or privileges will be infringed. You have the united wisdom of Congress to consult your interests; you have also the wisdom of the President; and events have discovered that a wiser and more upright man than the President of the United States of America, never presided over any government.—The excise law was sanctioned by a great majority in Congress. The President, who guards your interests as a father does that of his children, approved of that law; and you will doubtless, then, submit to it with a willing mind, notwithstanding the opposition it has met with from some ill informed people in our sister states.
You lament the situation of this country with respect to Indian affairs; particularly Mero district, which is continually infested by marauding parties of savages. Let me tell you better times are fast approaching. The armies of the United States, and the particular detachments from this Territory, have been terribly successful against the Indians this summer. You have been well supported by government in your defensive operations. If that will not prove effectual to secure the lives and properties of the citizens, I am sure offensive measures will soon be adopted by the national government.
Let me recal another circumstance to your attention. The Cherokees are becoming very much divided among themselves; some of them continue enemies; some of them are warm friends. Let not individuals frustrate the operations of government on this important business.
Permit me, gentlemen, before I discharge you, to recommend to your particular attention, the constitution of the United States; read it by day, read it by night; it is the supreme law of the land—it is the guardian of your liberties. When you entered into the solemn compact by your representatives in convention, which was again recognized by the people, you solemnly engaged to support the constitution and all constitutional laws. Can you recede from this engagement individually? No.—You may retract your obligations, by withdrawing yourselves out of the limits of the United States; but when within her jurisdiction, you must submit to her laws.
If you are ever ruined in this happy country it will be thro' the folly and perverseness of some designing and wicked men, who may lead you to oppose the laws from some sinister views. What more shall I say to you gentlemen? Indeed to you I would not have said so much: for you are already acquainted with the force of my observations: but I speak to the people at large, to the uninformed, and to the disorderly.
You have got a character of orderly citizens; keep it; a character is as necessary to a people as to an individual. Let me repeat, the character of a people is as delicate as the character of a lady; if it is once lost, it is hard to recover again.
From the Virginia Gazette.
MARCELLUS, No. IV.
A just review, then, of our situation, must teach the impossibility of maintaining our present independence, and the established order of our country, without some alliance in Europe or America. A combination with three southern states would rather diminish than add to our strength and safety. For those states would more frequently need our assistance, than be able to furnish us with succour.—Whether, therefore, standing single or combined with the three southern states, our happiness, and safety require, that we should have either in Europe or America, alliances adequate to their defence. If we resort to Europe, there are but two nations to which we can apply—France and Great Britain; and the power of either is so great compared to ours, that an intimate political connection with either could not fail to render us completely
dependent on it. But this, tho' a degrading circumstance, might not be the worst evil that might happen to us from such a connection. It deserves to be considered whether the form of government in either country is adapted to our ideas and practice. In Great Britain an hereditary monarchy and aristocracy is hostile to all our ideas of local order. In France ideas of government prevail which would by no means suit our present circumstances and practice. From too intimate and close a connection with Great Britain, monarchy and aristocracy might possibly be introduced amongst us to the subversion of our present happy republican constitution and laws. From too intimate and close an union with France, the doctrines of Liberty and Equality might receive such an extension amongst us, as to render this and the southern states of America, for ages, the scene of that horrid anarchy, devastation and massacre, which have of late destroyed some of the most flourishing colonies in the French West Indies. And from the neighborhood of these colonies to us, and the similitude of our situation to theirs, let us act with all the prudence and caution in our power; it may not now be possible to ward off completely the calamities, which have overwhelmed those devoted islands. In America, we have refined on the old systems of republican government by extending the principle of representation, and confining the legislative as well as the executive powers, to officers chosen periodically by the free suffrages of the people, and in a manner to secure the most complete responsibility. Nothing like privileged orders exist amongst us; and we have wisely avoided leaving any foundation on which they can be erected. Our experiments in government have hitherto had the most unexampled success; and the people of America present to the eyes of mankind a spectacle of happiness and prosperity which the world never before beheld; and what is most honorable, we owe it to ourselves, and not to the advice or imitation of foreign governments.
As soon as we enter into any close political connection with any foreign nation, superior in power, and dissimilar in all the circumstances of government, laws, manners and customs, we undoubtedly, hazard the safety and purity of our own constitutions—constitutions too, which the happiest experience has taught us to be adequate to all the essential objects of society. We not only hazard our present free and just government, the most precious boon ever given by the God of nations to any people; but we hazard all the expences and misfortunes incident to European quarrels, from which we should keep ourselves as detached, as we are widely separated by nature.
I have stated that Virginia cannot exist as an independent nation, either by itself or combined with the three southern states.—To what has been offered nothing need be added to demonstrate this position; and nothing also need be added to prove the impropriety of any close political connection with any of the great powers of Europe, particularly France and Great Britain. With whom then ought we to have that alliance and union so necessary to the maintenance of our independence and prosperity. This we have already discovered and are daily experiencing the greatest benefits from the discovery. Our natural allies are the northern and eastern states. By cultivating this union, we have strength to resist foreign attacks and to quell domestic tumults. From this connection we have no reason to apprehend dangerous innovations in our government, by the introduction of monarchic and aristocratic principles on the one hand; or the other, such an extension of Liberty and Equality as would overturn property annihilate industry, destroy morals, and subvert all the safety of society. Virginia then has every motive to keep itself detached from any political connection in Europe, and to cultivate the union which now exists with the northern and eastern states particularly the last, who have realized the republican principle more perfectly than any people who have gone before them. I know a prejudice exists in the minds of some of my countrymen against our eastern brethren. I know they have been stigmatized with the odious name Aristocrat. But facts prove that such an imputation, must be the effect of the strongest ignorance, the most infatuated prejudice, or the most unprincipled disregard to truth. No political maxim is more true than that it is necessary to the maintenance of a free government, that the people should be well informed. Let us go into that part of the United States distinguished by the name of New-England, and when did there exist a people by whom so much care was taken to inform the society; particularly in Connecticut and Massachusetts. There are schools spread over the country, and teachers provided at the public expence; and all the citizens are obliged to send their children to these schools for instruction. The rich and the poor are mingled in one undistinguished mass and nothing like distinction is permitted or countenanced. There the manners of the people proscribe every thing like solicitation for public offices, and the most effectual way which a person can take to prevent his election, is to ask for a vote or to offer himself a candidate. There property is so equally divided, that few are very rich and fewer very poor; but every person possesses enough with industry to be independent. There nothing like personal slavery exists. In fine their morality has grown into an universal habit, and the meek and holy duties prescribed by the Christian religion, are faithfully and piously observed. Is there any thing like aristocracy in this description? Can any person seriously think, that from our connection
with this people, we shall imitate monarchic and aristocratic principles? Ought we not rather to regard it as the nursery of the purest republican virtues, and cherishing our present liberties and happiness?

STATE PAPER
LETTER.
From the Magistrates of Geneva to the Magistrates of Frankfort.
A rumour has been spread through out our city, which gives much uneasiness to our fellow citizens, and in particular to the merchants who frequent the fairs of Frankfort: it is, that they are henceforth to be excluded from them, in such a manner, that they shall not enjoy, as heretofore, the liberty of making purchases.
We wish to persuade ourselves, that this report is totally destitute of foundation; we cannot, indeed, guess what motives could have determined your Lordships to adopt a measure against the Genevese, which you have never enforced but against the individuals of a nation with whom you may happen to be at war, or those persons whose proceedings are likely to be repugnant to justice and public order.
If the city of Geneva cannot quote in its own favour the services rendered to the city of Frankfort, it may at least truly affirm that it has never done any thing which could be considered by your Lordships an act of hostility.
The effects of the commotions which have lately taken place among us, have been entirely confined to the walls of our city; they are not of a nature to alter our external connections, and still less our political ones.
Geneva is still a free and independent city, whose revolutions are in nowise affected by any foreign power. The object of the revolution, which has lately taken place, was never, as has been pretended, to bring it under the dominion of the French, but to execute justice on the internal enemies of our independence and our constitution.
The Government, such as it was constituted during the last spring, by our Sovereign Assembly, and such as it was recognized by our ancient and faithful Allies, the worthy Cantons of Zurich and Berne, has been preserved within the ordinary boundaries.
The extraordinary measures which have been adopted for some weeks past, are temporary measures of safety, and will cease so soon as the ordinary arrangements for precluding future commotions shall have been solemnly agreed upon.
There does not therefore exist any thing among us, which can determine your Lordships either to break, or suspend the commercial connections between our two cities, which cannot but contribute to their mutual prosperity.
The protection with which your Lordships have constantly honoured those of our fellow citizens, who frequent the City of Frankfort, and for which we beseech you to receive our sincere thanks, affords us room to hope that you will give a favourable reception to the present letter; and that you will continue your beneficence, as well in regard to our city, as to those of our fellow citizens, whose affairs may induce them to repair at Frankfort.
We beg your Lordships to be persuaded, that we shall not omit any occasion, to give the most formal testimonies of our devotion and affection.

The increasing prosperity of this State must afford pleasure to all the friends of human happiness. In the year 1781, the rateable property of the whole state amounted to but one hundred and forty-nine thousand five hundred and forty-two pounds seventeen shillings and six pence. At the return made to the general assembly this fall, the grand bill was four hundred and eighteen thousand seven hundred and forty-one pounds thirteen shillings nearly four times the value of the rateable property twelve years ago. The happy effect of industry, economy, and good government.

PORTLAND, Dec. 6.
Captain Enoch Preble, in the ship Commerce, from Halifax, belonging to this port, arrived here on the 11th inst. The evening before he arrived, he spoke with the Schooner Olive Branch, George Taylor, from the West-Indies. Capt. T. informed that the English had left Martinico, and that the whole Island was in possession of the French.
On Friday last arrived here the Schooner Three Friends, Capt. George Norton, in 28 days from Martinico, but last from St. Bartholomews, in 23 days. The 4th inst. Captain Norton spoke with the ship Hope of New-Bedford, Captain Boyd, in 36 days from London—the 5th, he spoke the brig Delight of Portland, from St. Thomas, 18 days out. Capt. Norton left at St. Bartholomews, the Schooner Sally, Capt. Pote, belonging to Falmouth—Capt. Boyd informed, that when he left London, accounts had been received from the continent, that the French had been more and more successful; and that the general belief was that they were then in Holland.
By Capt. Norton came passenger Capt. Jeremiah Paul, who failed from Kennebec the 10th day of Oct. last in the brig Minerva, belonging to that port. In lat. 36. 40. and long. 63. West, five days after he failed, he met with a gale of wind, which upset the vessel, and every soul on board was lost, except the Capt. who providentially saved himself by getting upon the vessel's bottom, where he remained three days and two nights without any sustenance, till taken off by Capt. Samuel Gooch, of the brig Dolphin, belonging to Wells, who put him on board Capt. Norton.
BOSTON, Dec. 10.
Capt. Boyd, in the ship Hope, arrived at Biddeford, on Monday last, in 40 days from London, brings accounts of the ENTIRE CAPTURE OF HOLLAND by the French. Our informant saw a London paper on board, containing the account; but could not obtain the consent of the Captain to bring it with him.
SALEM, Dec. 9.
Capt. John Foster, who arrived on Sunday 26 days from Fort-Royal, Martinico reports that the day he cleared out he heard a fleet had been seen between Martinico and Dominico; that when he went to the custom-house, he heard the officers speaking of it; afterwards, when he was going to the fort, to shew his passport, a merchant informed him a fleet had been seen, that orders had been given for baking a large quantity of bread, and he advised Capt. Foster to get under sail immediately, as he expected an embargo would be laid. Capt. Foster did not see the fleet.
NEW-YORK Dec. 14.
The same gentleman who some time ago sent from Scotland to Dr. Mitchell the book, part of whose paper was bleached by the oxygenated muriatic acid, according to the new process; has lately sent him a cutt of Linnen-yarn spun upon a hand-mill of thirty-two spindles; that is a machine that spins thirty-two linnen threads at once and goes by hand; which is quite a new discovery by one Henry of Kirkcaldie. The following extract from a letter received very lately by Dr. Mitchell from Edinburgh contains an account of two important inventions, "Mills for combing wool by water are erecting fast in England.—Mills to go by water for spinning flax into Linnen-yarn are erected at Aberdeen, Forfar, Montrose, Leven, Kinghorn, Dumferline, &c. in Scotland, and several more are getting up;—Several have also been erected in the North of England; I don't know of any in Ireland yet:—All the yarn they spin is coarse. When the Cotton-mills were first erected in England, they spun coarse Cotton-yarn only, and gradually came on to spin finer and finer.—I am glad to see your new taxes; they will certainly make America more industrious. The highest taxed nations
are the British and Dutch; and the most industrious too."

WARREN, (R. I.) Dec. 6.
GENEVA was formerly called a free republic. It was the seat of science, and the retreat of the literati of France, the Voltaires and Rousseaus, when persecuted by the doctors of the Sorbonne, for the freedom of their writings. The populace have now found out that the government is aristocratical and tyrannical. This may be so; but what shall we say of revolutionists, who openly avow the doctrine of leveling the aristocracy of manners, of riches, and of talents? No good man can hear such doctrine without dreading revolutions.
"The weight of three Swine fattened in Dighton, are as follows: one 541 and an half, one 461, and the other 287 pounds—seventeen and an half months old, and of the China breed; the latter produced five pigs, the weight of each 120lb. at five and an half months old. The weight of the whole 1889 1-2 pounds."
"On inquiry into the mode by which so much pork was produced from so few hogs in so short a time, the answer is: that the swine mentioned have been always penned, and have never been permitted to go from their pen, except in the heat of the season to a river to cool themselves: and that they have been always so filled as to be ever easy and at rest."
"Farmers, remember, and you will save nearly one half the expense in making your pork; as well as much trouble and injury by your swine running at large. Only begin in this way by one half the swine you usually keep, and experience will inform you."

MR. FENNO,
A writer in a morning paper asks, "Would it injure your interest to give us, from time to time, some little account of these improvements, that we may know what is doing among ourselves, as well as among the contending powers of Europe?"—For an answer to this enquiry, I refer to the papers—Sir, the affairs of Europe are beyond all controversy, of infinitely greater importance [to printers at least] than the concerns of the United States.
Let any friend to the honor of the American character, to the Government, to the policy—the laws, the finances, the population, the Union, the Commerce, the improvements in Roads, Canals, & Bridges of this country, come forward with his statements, opinions and facts on all, or any of these points, and if, so long as a printed European rumor, can be had to insert in our Gazette, he shall find a corner for any of his lucubrations, even in our largest papers, then he may answer the above enquiry in the negative.

Three or four accidents, by drowning, scalding &c. in New-York, have found their way into the papers of this City—this is very well—To balance accounts please to inform the public—That a child was run over by a loaded dray in Market-street last Monday, and so bruised as to be almost lifeless when taken up. That another child not many days since, being left alone in a room, caught its cloaths on fire, by which it was so burnt that it died—Also that a man last week lost his life by firing a pistol into his ear.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, December 15.
Several petitions were read, and referred to the committee of claims.
The house went into committee of the whole, Mr. Cobb in the chair, on the report of a special committee, on the petition of Taylor and Hervey, of Virginia, for a remission of duties on certain goods consumed by fire. The committee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again: but leave was refused, and the committee of the whole discharged.
Mr. New, of the committee on enrolled bills, reported the loan bill, and the bill for the relief of the estate of
the late Edward Blanchard, and they were signed by the Speaker.
On motion, Messrs. Fitzsimons, Watts, Sherburne, Lyman and New, were appointed a committee to enquire and report respecting the number of clerks in the several public departments.
On motion of Mr. Smith, (S.C.) a committee was appointed to examine and report on the policy of remitting duties in cases of loss by fire, &c. by a general law.
Mr. Coit, from the committee appointed for that purpose, reported a resolution, giving the States a concurrent jurisdiction with the United States, on lands ceded, for light-houses, beacons, &c.—ordered to lie on the table.
A message was received from the President of the United States, with certain private communications.
The House took up the report of the committee to whom was referred that part of the President's speech which relates to the policy of indemnifying the sufferers by the depredations of the insurgents in the western counties of Pennsylvania, and after some debate, in which Messrs. Swift, Murray, Dexter, Madison, Carnes, and Hartley took a principal part, the Speaker mentioned to the House, that the secret communications from the President of the United States were on the table; the reading of which would probably take up the remainder of the day till the time of adjournment; and suggested the propriety of suspending the debate for that purpose, upon which, the gallery was cleared.

Philadelphia Society for the Information & Assistance of Persons emigrating from Foreign Countries."
WHEREAS, from the various instances of ill usage, which Emigrants to this country have suffered, from the masters of vessels, in which they have taken passage, their lives have been greatly endangered, their health much injured, and their happiness and usefulness, for a time, totally destroyed.
Resolved unanimously, That the members of this Society feel themselves called upon as men, and as citizens, to exert every legal endeavour, to prevent the repetition of such disgraceful human nature, and their country—and as the laws of this state are fully competent to the complete redress of every evil of the sort, we hereby publicly request all masters of vessels, and others, bringing passengers to the port of Philadelphia, to treat such passengers with suitable kindness and attention; and any emigrants, who have felt themselves aggrieved, are invited to lay their respective complaints before the committee, when every assistance to obtain justice will be afforded them, within the ability of the Society to grant.
Resolved unanimously, That the committee of Conference and Correspondence be directed to pay particular attention to the cases of those emigrants, who appear to have well founded complaints against the conduct of their captains, and to leave no exertions untried, to bring such offenders to justice.
Resolved unanimously, That the members of this Society disclaim all countenance of frivolous or malicious accusations—at while we deplore the necessity which calls for this interference, we acknowledge with the greatest pleasure, that there are numerous examples of a different nature; and we shall be ready at all times to distinguish by a most marked approbation, those masters of vessels, whose uniform humanity and tenderness to their passengers shall be found to deserve it.

May they reflect on it with at- tention, and learn by the disastrous exam- ple of the most democratical state that ex- ists on the continent of Europe, the ex- treme danger of foreign influence; and a- bove all, how rapid and inevitable it is to transgress the feeble interval which sepa- rates the abuse of liberty from its ruin!"

From the Virginia Caxette.
IT is with both pleasure and indigna- tion I view the artifice of the aristocra- tic and paper parties levelled against our worthy representative William B. Giles, whose seat in Congress they consider as a check to their base purposes. In or- der the more to draw your affections and confidence from him, they have (avail- ing themselves of the popularity of our beloved President) rally put in cir- culation a report, that Mr. Giles has threatened to impeach him. This re- port, like most other malicious fallhoods, I might venture to affirm to be without foundation, many of Mr. Giles's friends having endeavoured to trace it to its origin, but no author thereto can be found,—Fellow Citizens, admitting it to be a fact, let us enquire wherein would consist the criminality. To you look on the President as mortal or im- mortal? If the latter, there is an end to all argument, for one bad as well be- any other way employed as to attempt to reason against a thing so absurd; but if the former, is he not capable of erring—is he not amenable to the laws and constitution of our country; if he acts derogatory thereto, and in such a man- ner as to endanger the liberties and hap- piness of the people? Where is our re- medy?
Does not the Constitution contem- plate him as being impeachable? Has it not erected a tribunal before which he shall be impeached and tried for mal- conduct? And lastly, if he has acted in such a manner as to subject him to impeachment (which I would by no means be understood to insinuate) whole business would it be to bring forward an impeachment? If he was actually so impeached, and on examination it was found to be on frivolous or malicious pretence, then and not till then, would the impeacher be entitled to your cen- sure.
Fellow-Citizens, I look into this arti- fice—its object is to make you discard a faithful servant, a firm and vigilant sentinel, who tenderly regards your hap- piness. May your minds ever be so enlightened as to discover truth from fallhood, your real from imaginary in- terests—and may the base designs of aristocrats and bought-up paper-men, be ever frustrated, is the sincere prayer of PHILO-GILES.
L A W S OF THE UNITED STATES. Third Congress of the United States: AT THE SECOND SESSION:
Begun and held at the city of Philadel- phia, in the state of Pennsylvania, on Monday, the third of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.
An Act to amend and explain the twenty-se- cond section of "the Act establishing the Judicial Courts of the United States."
WHEREAS by the twenty-second sec- tion of the act entitled, "An act to es- tablish the Judicial Courts of the United States," it is provided that, "Every Justice or Judge signing a Citation on any Writ of Error, shall take good and suf- ficient security that the Plaintiff in error, shall prosecute his writ to effect, and an- swer all damages and costs, if he fail to make his plea good." And whereas doubts have arisen as to the extent of the security to be required in certain cases:—
Be it enacted and declared by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress As- sembled, That the security to be required and taken on the signing of a citation on any writ of error, which shall not be a superfluous and stay execution, shall be only to such an amount, as in the opinion of the Justice or Judge taking the same, shall be sufficient to answer all such costs as, upon an affirmance of the judgment or decree, may be adjudged or decreed to the respondent in error.

TO THE PUBLIC. THAT Shakspeare has followed nature with such truth and correctness, as to ren- der his Works the delight of all nations, however differing in customs and manners from his own, is a fact which more than centuries of universal approbation have sufficiently established—The debt unpaid by the careless and unenlightened co-tempo- raries of this Illustrious Man has been left to posterity to discharge, and in pro- portion to the progress of taste and litera- ture, the gratitude of mankind has endeav- oured to acknowledge the obligation. England has exhibited her favourite Au- thors with splendor, and it is hoped that America that seat of true liberty, will not be backward in encouraging this first great attempt to do merited justice to the author of this Dramatic Work. The selection therefore, of this incom- parable Production for an ELEGANT AMERI- CAN EDITION, requiring no justification, it only remains for the Publishers to add a few observations on the claim which such under- takings have to patronage in America— country, which for liberty none can equal and should necessarily be the nurse and pa- tron of the Arts. And tho' to rival the Eastern country, may seem hopeless in us— yet it is surely a laudable endeavour to ex- cite that encouragement here, which should be always offered to improvement and ex- cellence. Indeed the zeal which has ap- peared in America, since the permanent es- tablishment of the present happy constitu- tion, for patronizing the arts, which it has produced and rewarded a multitude of works which immortalize the artist, has also exalted the character of the nation, and given dignity to the people whose patriot- ism and munificence have promoted their discovery of perfection. America is not insensible to the value of character, and will assume her rank among nations as an encourager of the arts. It would therefore be an impeachment of her understanding and patriotism, if a doubt were entertained of her possessing a portion of that spirit which so elevates the eastern world, a spirit which considered in a national point of view, is one of the most pra- worth in the catalogue of public virtues: as it contributes to the best interests of so- ciety, by promoting industry, cherishing genius, multiplying the rational enjoyments of life, and exciting a general taste for the beautiful and the excellent. In the hope then that the humble effort here proposed may interest this spirit, and have some claim to general encourage- ment, it has been undertaken. The attention which shall be paid to the correctness and beauty of the PRINTING, will evince the desire of the publishers to present their country with an edition worthy of the inimitable Shakspeare. The Publishers assure the Patrons of this undertaking, they will discharge their en- gagement with strict probity and honor, and therefore hope they may justly claim public confidence and support. Subscriptions will be received at Ste- phens's Book-Store, No. 57, South Second- street, and at the principal Booksellers in the United States—also, at the Publishers No. 75. Dock street, and at the Philadelphia Coffee-House. Dec. 10. eod 2w 2aw tf

William W. Woodward,  PRINTER, HAS removed his Printing-Office from No. 41, Chestnut Street, to Franklin's Head, No. 36, four doors from the corner of Second-street, South side, nearly oppo- site; where the Printing Business is carried on as usual; his whole attention being confined to that occupation. Orders from any part of this State, or the continent, will be executed, and authors may rely on having any work they may see fit to pub- lish, correctly printed, either in French or English. The LEVEL of EUROPE and NORTH AMERICA, with a COPIOUS PRICE CURRENT, is printed for the Ed- itor, Peter Egron, L. L. D. at the above mentioned office, in French and English; which publication has received the patron- age of some of the most distinguished char- acters in America, and whose names, in a few days, will be published, and accompa- ny the two first numbers to the subscribers. N. B. Blanks, Circular Letters, Checks, Cards, Handbills, &c. &c. continue to be executed with the usual dispatch. Nov. 18 eod 9w.
The Editor of the Level of Europe and North America, ever anxious to communicate to Europeans, who may be desirous of letting in this Continent, where- ever may tend to inform them of the ad- vantages they may find here, whether in agriculture or in commerce, has the honor to acquaint the public, that he has under- taken the translation of a work just publish- ed under the title of A View of the United  States of America . This translation will be executed with the permission of the Author Tench Coxe, Esq. Commissioner of the Revenues of the United States. P. Egron, L. L. D. Nov. 20 2aw3w
Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Sub- scription by paying Six Months in Ad- vance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delin- quent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may re- spectively be indebted—the funds are indi- vidually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.
To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION is opened for Printing the  Theological Writings OF  Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient number of persons takes place, a meeting will be advertised to com- pider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was inserted by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doc- trines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been en- tertained respecting the inestimable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead the re- of, invidious calumnies and gross false re- ports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will se- riously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, the being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
