MR. FENNO, LET it be remembered, that on the eleventh day of September, seventeen hundred and ninety-four, in the nineteenth year of American independence, the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania (I believe) for the first time approved of the conduct of the President of the United States. Now, Mr. Fenno, I am myself a great friend of the President, and always thought that in general his conduct seemed to be marked with the greatest caution and prudence; but, who can now entertain a doubt of the propriety of his conduct when sanctioned by that great luminary of liberty, equality, patriotism, republicanism, democracy, the rights of man, &c. &c. &c. If there ever was such a doubt entertained of the President, let it now be dispelled, as the mist of the morning before the bright beams of the sun. I was almost doubtful whether the quota of militia of this State would be raised in time to co-operate with those from some of the other States, not considering the Democratic Society, like the oracles of old, were to pronounce and determine the propriety or impropriety of the measure. The long expected decision is at last announced; and the decree is MARCH! That this was all the people wanted for, may be easily perceived by the number of volunteers that turn out daily, and the people are becoming fighting mad—Among them what numbers of the members of that glorious body do we see, as bright examples to their fellow-citizens, running ready to break their necks to procure commissions, that they may lead their fellow-soldiers to the field of battle.—And as they have already convinced the world of their good intentions in regard to the political proceedings in the cabinet—when they shall come into the field of honor, their warlike actions will shine forth with ten-fold splendor. A CITIZEN.
N.B. It is to be observed, that those gentlemen of the Society who do not incline to go themselves, not only pay the usual fine and find a substitute, but have it in contemplation (this I do not know whether to believe or not) to raise a regiment at their own expence.
FROM THE MONITOR, Published at Litchfield, (Connecticut.) THE HOPELESS PATIENT. On the Death of a Lady who lately died at Medford near Boston, of a Consumption.
THE Taper's wasting element of fire Lights up Reflection's moralizing muse; And Melancholy's eye, with keen desire, The fading light and gathering vapour views. As spends the Wax, so wastes the Lamp of life, As sinks the Flame, Life ebbs to flow no more!
So sudden Boreas wrecks, in sudden strife, The trembling vessel on the desert shore. As glares the homed when foaming from the chafe, So pants the heart as flares the puffing blast; And as the yielding hare, with palsy'd pace, So weak and wan life verges to the last. As glares the Glow-worm as he wanton flies, In languid whiffs the Taper dies away; So life goes out, and lo the Worldling dies, And rests in slumber till the coming day. As coyly Insects hover round the blaze, Lur'd by the slender Taper's dazzling beams; So Man's decoy'd by fortune's gilded rays, And dies in flutters, wrapt in giddy dreams. As busy buzzing Bees bespread the flower, And rob its vital essence while in bloom; So Death, forever busy, heeds the hour To spoil and kill to feed the hungry tomb. I greet thee, markey Monarch of the shade, Welcome as rest to Pilgrims sad beguild, Or kindly joy that wakes the bridal maid, Or friendly morrels to the breadless child. Thy barbed arrow fills the plaint of woe, As nuptial rites make glad the guileless heart; To me thou're only cruel when so slow, Thou great Magician of the healing art. As gushing waters issu'd from the rock, And still'd the murmurs of the famish'd host; So Death can soft and craggy hearts unlock, And joy the wretch who bears the lonely coals. Farewell, blest Steward of my treasur'd soul, Kinder than tender Shepherd of his flock; Thy moving passion sways without controul, And binds the heart, as reapers bind the flock. As the lone Dove laments her callow brood, Robb'd by the rustic Rifle's ruthless hand; So mourns my Mate, and deems the Spoiler rude, Who when the heart is twin'd, untwinnes the band. Maria, child of Sympathy, adieu! I droop as weeping willows pierc'd with cold: Kind were thy Parents, and as kind were you, Hither to haste to watch the sickly field. That precious Plant which withers at the touch, Is not more yielding than thy feeling heart; Thy tears and sober sadness grieve me much,— Hush thy complaints,—the bour is come to part. Vain world of thorns and thistles, care and pain, Of broils and toils, scenes chequer'd with alloy; Troubled and faithless as the surging main, —I leave thee for a realm of Peace and Joy.
Foreign Intelligence
ALOST, July 7.
Yesterday Earl Moira with his army, arrived at Alost from Dendermonde, as they entered at one end of the town, the enemy entered at the other. The fire began on both sides. Some of the French cavalry having been mistaken for Hessian horse, colonel Doyle, his lordship's adjutant general, approached to rally them, as they seemed in confusion, in consequence of which he received two wounds, one on the head, and the other in the elbow joint of the left arm. The wound in the head is of a slight nature, the other is more serious. Both wounds were given with a sabre; and the action in which the colonel distinguished himself by much valour, continued with obstinacy and activity on both sides. Mr. Vandeleur of the dragoons, has been slightly wounded in the knee. Adjutant general Graham, of the 15th Light horse, in the skirmish was severely wounded: but though the French had incessantly hung upon Lord Moira's rear and harassed it with cannonading the whole way, yet they had not much to boast of in the action. Intelligence having reached the camp near Ache, 500 of the light dragoons were ordered immediately to join his lordship. Earl Moira's army, we are sorry to say, was
rather in want of ammunition, as the men, for the sake of speed, were not encumbered scarcely with any; what they had did not amount to more than 25 rounds a man, which was carried on the guns. The French attacked the Prince of Orange at Waterloo, in front of the Forest of Soignes, and after an obstinate resistance succeeded in turning the flank of his army, which they would have completely destroyed, had not twelve or thirteen battalions, chiefly Dutch, come up at the critical moment to the assistance of that wing. They attacked the victorious part of the French, and by out-flanking them, forced them to retreat in their turn, which enabled the Prince of Orange to retain his position.
Landrecies, Orchies, Marchiennes, &c. are already evacuated, and what else can be expected of Conde, Valenciennes, La Queunois, &c. not reckoning a hundred subordinate, but not inconsiderable places.
BRUSSELS, July 3.
Richard and Chodien, the Commissioners of the French Convention, have issued a proclamation which has been circulated here; inviting the Belgians to be calm and tranquil, and promising security and protection to all the peaceable inhabitants who shall remain at their homes.
July 4.
As the retreat of the grand combined army on the Sambre, under the command of Prince Cobourg and the Prince of Orange, had been resolved upon and ordered by the Emperor, if certain events should take place, the troops are passing day and night thro' this city for Holland and Lotharing.
The headquarters of the grand army were yesterday at Hal, and are expected to be transmitted hither this evening. The heavy artillery has been sent by water to Maastricht.
Not a single person in the service of government is left here. The nobility, the clergy, and the principal citizens are gone. This city, but lately the residence of a Court, and so brilliant, is now depopulated, and the greater part of the houses abandoned and shut up. The Court is literally empty. Every thing moveable has been carried off or sold, even at the palace of Lacken, and nothing remains but the bare walls.
Of the magazines, part was sold, and part distributed gratis among the people. The magazines at Mons were valued at five millions, and belonged chiefly to the Dutch. Part of them was burnt by the Austrians, and the rest fell into the hands of the French.
Seven eighths of the inhabitants of Hainaut are gone.
Landrecy, Queunois and Conde are blockaded by the enemy. Valenciennes alone can make any resistance.
Two battalions of Dutch were taken at Mons; nine squadrons and three battalions besides, are still missing not having appeared at the general rendezvous at Hal yesterday evening.
No description can convey an idea of the confusion that reigns at this moment among the combined troops evacuating the country. With respect to the motives of evacuation, it is easy to see that it is a thing agreed upon between the Austrians and the French. The Dutch exclaim against the Emperor, and the Austrians against the Hanoverians. I shall, however, be able to explain very fully the new line of politics which the Cabinet of Vienna has tho't proper to adopt. I consider it as the sole motive for the evacuation of the Netherlands, which the English and the other allies openly reprobate.
General Beauieu's camp at Ulras has been reinforced by 3,000 Prussians, who are not to remain with him, but to march to join the Earl of Moira.
The volunteers of this city are all under arms. Strong patrols parade the streets day and night to maintain order, & will continue to do so till the arrival of the French, which we look for on Monday next.
Several millions in specie, and the archives, which the states of Brabant wished to secure in Holland, were stopped by Austrians and Dutch at Lillo, and escorted to Nuremberg by four squadrons of Dutch cavalry.
DENDERMONDE, July 5.
Earl Moira's army arrived here on Thursday evening, after fatigued with forced marches. About 200 of the men were drafted off to the hospitals. Yesterday the magazines and the hospitals of the army, commanded by the prince of Saxe Coburg

passed through Louvain, on their happy journey back into Germany. In the disastrous actions on the 18th and 22nd at Tour- nay, the English lost all their artillery, they were under the command of Colonel Cour- grave. The Austrians lost almost as much in the disastrous command by general Otto. In consequence of the calamities of war, the University at Louvain is closed, and the students and professors have joined the general flight.
BREDA, July 6.
Another part of the Hanoverian Hospital is arrived here; and all the camp equipage, artillery, baggage wag- gons, &c. &c. In all above a hundred carriages, and four or five hundred draft horses! They were on their return to Hanover!
ODENARDE, July 3.
On Sunday last, a second action took place between the advanced guards of his royal Highness, and the Carmagnols. His Highness always makes fine dispositions, but in this instance, not with the success which he so well deserves.
The effect was, as to any beneficial consequences, but very little on either side. The loss on both sides, as to carnage, and waste of human life, was considerable. The Hessians lost most.
The Duke's army are in tolerable health, and about six or seven thousand English remain.
The Hessians, Dutch and Austrians, carry their returns up to 13,600 men.
The Carmagnols armies continue en- creasing, and with more madness every hour. One line extending from Ypres,
To Werwick, on the South East; To Menin and Courtray, on the North and North East;
And so continuing on both sides the Lys, to the forks of the river, where the Canal branches off between Wacken and Deynse.
In the late affair at Oudenarde, they turned the position of the allies, flank- ing our army, by a sudden and unex- pected wheel of their van at Harle- bake.
On the Scheldt, from Lille they have another army, hanging on our rear, and harassing very hard upon Renaix!
As to Prince Cobourg and the Prince of Orange, they too, are harassed by a vast army of the Carmagnols, who in- crease every day. A day seldom passes, without some affair or engagement of more or less consequence. The three great actions have been on these dates, June 26, 27, and yesterday July 2. The 25th on the Sambre, the Austrians had some success on one wing. The 27th their loss was considerable. It is said between 3 and 4000 men. And yesterday, the Austrians had another check, the loss is said to be great.
LONDON, July 23.
In the National Convention of France, there are at present sixty-four ci-devant nobles, two of whom are of the Committee of Public Safety.
From the COURIER, a London paper.
MANIFESTO
OF THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF FRANCE AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN. [The following Manifesto was present- ed by Barrere, from the Commi- tee of Public Safety to the National Convention, on the 30th of May.]
"Shall the French Republic be al- ways forced to derive her energy only from events? Too long has the atten- tion of France been concentrated on the conspiracies of Danton and Hebert. It is time that she should know that if the traitors were allowed to carry on their criminal projects with impunity but for a few days, France, surrendered to England and Austria, would be nothing more than a pile of cinders.
"At the period when the conspira- tors first took the veil of patriotism, a system of calumny was adopted at Lon- don—a system that has since been ren- dered permanent. From that period too, projects have been continually formed against the lives of certain mem- bers of the National Convention of France.
"A few days only have elapsed since the journals of the foreign Powers af- firmed; that the poignards of assassins had stabbed all the members of the Com- mittees of Public and General Safety, and that a Revolution had taken place at Paris! A few days only have elapsed since the English newspapers prophesied that Robespierre would soon be no more. Robespierre has escaped the poignards of the Ministers of —; but these Ministers still think, that, at least, he cannot exist under their calum- nies, and that, by asserting that his in- tentions are to make himself the dicta- tor of France, they shall be able to concentrate on his head the combined
detestation of the people of the French Republic.
"In these despicable journals the Republican soldiers are invariably char- acterised as the soldiers of Robespierre — the soldiers of Robespierre , it is said have attacked Menin—the soldiers of Robespierre have evacuated Arlon—the soldiers of Robespierre have advanced towards Furnes.
"We should think that we were guilty of injustice to the power of the people, to the authority of the National Convention, to the unremitted labours of the Committee of Public Safety, to the patriotism of Robespierre, and to the courage of the armies, if we were to condescend to refute such calumnies, which, equally gross and atrocious, are calculated only to amuse the English in their brothels or their taverns. We state them merely to prove the intimate relation that subsists between the calum- niator of Robespierre and that English Agent who has so lately sent a new Corday to Paris.
It is these same English who, in speaking of the French armies, express themselves in the following manner:— That Horde, the Convention, have adopt- ed such a mode of conduct—The Com- mittee of Public Safety has issued such orders, as if no national representation existed, and, as if the power of the French Republic were in the hands of one man.
"The English have invariably at- tempted to mislead the public mind. At the commencement of the revolution they endeavored to produce a belief, that France was contending only for a change of dynasty. In the progress of the revolution they insinuated, that projects had been formed in France to raise a particular person to the dictatorship— These projects were attributed to the Committee of Public Safety, for the purpose of asserting that Robespierre was to be the dictator.
"This phantom, which the English conjured up, has been made to sit before the eyes of republicans, who have pro- ved themselves to be superior to corrup- tion, and whose mighty efforts, second- ed and supported by the invincible courage of the armies, and the gigantic power of the people, must annihilate Great Britain. The English ring in the ears of the people the word Dicta- torship for the purpose of exciting them to rise up and murder their represen- tatives.
"Are we returned to the time of the Brisotine domination when the insidious Louvet scattered his venom against Ro- bespierre? Are we returned to the pe- riod of the conspiracy of that animal, Egalité? Must we again endeavor to preserve the friends of Liberty, and the armies of the Republic from these new snares which England has prepared by dispersing her Journals through the fron- tier departments.
"We have been witnesses to an in- famous expression of uneasiness for the safety of the Deputies, and to a propo- sition for surrounding them with guards, and thereby distinguishing them from the mass of the people. Friends of Li- berty, suspect such insidious propo- sitions. Be assured that the authors of them are not sincerely attached to the Republic. The members of the Com- mittee of Public Safety need no guard; their best, their surest protection is the love of the people, the esteem of every good citizen, and the fortitude of their fellow-deputies.
"Five years of revolutionary experi- ence have taught the people to mistrust the exaggerated representations of men who are the natural foes of liberty.
"They are the— who to make us hated , endeavor to assimilate us to them- selves, and who speak of the troops of a deputy in the same manner as they speak of the troops of William, or of —. They wish to attach to us the character of tyrants, because they are convinced that all France detests tyranny. Yes, ye speculators, ye dealers in treachery and slaves, ye bankers of crimes we de- test tyranny, for we abhor you.—The hatred of Rome against Carthage is re- vived in the hearts of Frenchmen, in the same degree as the Punic Faith is revived in the hearts of —.
"Not content with letting loose as- sassins to massacre us—not content with letting loose calumniators to defame us, you wish to make us die a lingering death, and to starve us by seizing the corn which is destined for our support.
"The favorite system of — is to corrupt the human race, and to ex- terminate one country for the purpose of enslaving another. That system which they best understand, is a system by which murder is organized, and a pro- ject of famine carried with facility into execution.
"What people, not in Europe alone, but in the globe, we would ask, have not been furnished with ample cause of
accusation against these islands? Africa bids them give her back the sons whom they have sent into perpetual slavery.
"Asia demands from them those possessions which they have laid waste.
America points to them, with a re- proachful hand, as the cause of her mi- series.
"Europe owes to them her corrup- tion.
"They do not disgrace their origin. Descended from the Carthaginians who dealt in the flesh of beasts and slaves, they have not disdained the commerce of their forefathers. Cæsar when he landed on their Island, found them a ferocious race, contending with the wolves for the fee simple of the woods. Their subsequent civilization—their ci- vil and naval wars, all bear the stamp and character of their primeval ferocity.
"In Bengal they starved several thou- sands of the human race for the purpose of conquering a small number, and of procuring an inconsiderable extent of territory. This project was executed with that degree of coldness which is the prominent feature of their national character.—They would rather reign the Sovereigns of a Church-yard, than cease to extend their conquests."
ARCHIBALD HAMILTON ROWAN.
From a London Paper.
Our government having requested all the European Courts to apprehend that gentleman, if discovered in their dominions and to deliver him up to the custody of the British agent residing at such a court; advertisements from the different courts to this effect have lately been published in most of the continental papers. The fol- lowing is a literal translation of that pub- lished in the Gazette of Breslau in Silesia:
"The British court having requested the arrestation of Archibald Hamilton Row- an, an Irishman, who escaped from prison at Dublin, all magistrates and courts of justice of this department are ordered to exert the strictest vigilance, in order to discover the above Archibald Hamilton Rowan, in case he should seek for shelter within their jurisdiction, to seize his per- son, take him into safe custody, and give speedy and dutiful information of such arrestation, in obedience to the requisit issued by the Royal cabinet at Berlin of the 2d inst.
"The following is the personal descri- ption of the above Archibald Hamilton Rowan;—He is nearly six feet Dutch measure in height, of corpulent and robust appearance, and strong limbs; his aspect and walk military, of a brown and olive complexion, his eyes brown, as are his eye-brows and hair, which he wears cut short behind, but a little bald above the forehead; he speaks no other living language than English and French, and the latter but imperfectly, and mixed with the former.
Given at Breslau, June 11, 1794. (Signed) Royal Prussian Supreme ad- ministration college."
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
Notwithstanding the low illiberal wri- ter, in your evening paper of Monday, upon the Age of Reason and Thomas Paine, scarcely deserves notice, he shall not pass without some observations from one who is intimately acquainted with that excellent writer, and his works, which will be read and admired when this defamer, will be consigned to con- tempt and oblivion: And I am not a little surprised, that such a jargon of scandal, falsehood, and abuse, against one of our best and most valuable Patriots, should find admittance into an Ameri- can paper.
He says this Pamphlet the Age of Reason, has been thrown on the public as a bastard is laid in the streets, with- out a typographic dad, or mam, to claim the brat, with an intention to justify the title; this is an impudent and a fool- ish falsehood, for Mr. Paine avows the brat and has given his name to it.
Mankind have from the first of time been going on in improvement, and of consequence it is to be supposed, that by the far end of the 18th century, subjects will be more thoroughly discer- ned, and better understood, than they were at the far end of the 17th.
Instead of then proceeding to make his strictures upon the book, he stops to give you the history of its author, which is a mixture of misrepresentation, and falsehood. Mr. Paine was known in England both as a Patriot, and a writer, before he came to America his publica- tion in behalf of the inferior officers of the Revenue, gained him great credit, and many friends, though it cost him his place; it was for that and not for any deficiency in his accounts, for he had none, being only a surveyor, that a vile and corrupt government displaced him, and it was Dr. Franklin himself who was the cause of his coming, to this country. The last ten lines of this paragraph contain an audacious an- untruth, as ever insulted the public, the truth is Mr. Paine published the second
part of the Rights of Man in London, and remained many months after in that city. He was then elected a mem- ber of the National Convention for two places, he chose to represent Calais, and a deputation was sent to Dover, where he embarked publicly at noon day, and the same deputation accompanied him to Paris, where he took his seat.
It is true his fame went before him; it is true he continued his hatred of Kings and tyrants, yet he voted against the death of Louis 16th—but his inti- macy with Brissot who translated and read his speeches, and who has since been executed for conspiracy, and trea- son, was the cause of his arrestation, and of his being confined in the palace of Luxembourg in Paris, and not in the Castle of Luxembourg which I suppose this writer would have us understand; the remainder of this paragraph is too contemptible for notice.
And for the remainder of his piece, with the religion of his fore-fathers, and his church history, the Jews with equal propriety urged the same arguments, at the coming of the Savior, as well as the Catholics at the reformation, and they may continue to be used forever against alterations in church, state, government, or politics. The extract of the letter from Reading bears strong marks of the same pen, and doubtless was wrote by the same hand; he says Mr. Paine's book was wrote to please the reigning party in France, (if so, it was right, the reigning party in France are a very great majority of the people;) and to have his head and get out of prison, this is false; the book was published be- fore he even apprehended an arrest, that it may have been suppressed in England, is very probable and I am convinced a book wrote in favor of Revelation, if it bore the name of Thomas Paine, would be in like manner suppressed.
Upon the whole these dastardly at- tacks upon Mr. Paine's political charac- ter, can do him little harm among a people who remember his exertions in the cause of Liberty, and the good ef- fects they produced, they smell strongly of the Hanoverian rat, and are possibly made by some of the lately imported emissaries, who Mr. Pitt finds it very convenient to distribute annually among us, but who are spies employed not on- ly to watch our motions, but to foment discord in all parts of the union.
TAMANY.
UNITED STATES.
ALBANY, September 8.
Died in London, on the 9th of May last. Mr. SAMUEL G. DORR, formerly of Providence, (R. I.) but late of this city—Mr. Dorr went from this city about two years since, for the purpose of procuring a patent in England, for a machine, which he had invented, for shearing cloth, the ingenuity of which has been highly extolled by all who have ever seen it. It is so contrived, that a boy of 12 years, can do with it, in the same space of time, as much as 30 men, by the common method.—In England, he had procured a patent; exhibited his machine to the principal manufacturers, in whose presence it was tried, and found to answer the most fan- guine expectations: and he had now a fair prospect of realizing the well-earned rewards of his ingenuity—when, sud- denly, the fiat of his maker summoned to the world of spirits, a man, whose loss will be regretted, not only by his more intimate connections in life, but as a son of Columbia , the proof of whose mechanical genius will stand upon re- cord till the latest posterity, she also will feel the loss, and drop a tear to his mem- ory. The situation of Mrs. Dorr, who accompanied him to England, must be truly distressing.
The commissioners appointed to car- ry into operation the law directing for- tifications to be erected on our northern and western frontiers, have fixed on the following places for erecting block- houses and pickets, to wit: on the west- ern frontier:—a block-house at Fort Stanwix, at Onondago salt springs, at Canandagua, at Canawages, on Ge- nefee-river, and at the town of Bath; Pickets at Fort Branton, at Three- river-point, at Genava, at Mud-creek, at the head of Canandagua lake, and at the Painted post, near the Pennsyl- vania line.—On the northern frontier:— a block-house at Skeenborough, at Willbrough, at Peru, at Plattburgh, and at Thurman's patent.
Several of the block-houses and pick- ets, on the western frontier, are already completed, and all of them in great for- wardness. These block-houses are each to be furnished with a piece of cannon, which, with the necessary ammunition, are deposited in the block-house at Fort- Stanwix; as are also 700 complete stand
of arms, for the use of the inhabitants of this frontier. Three hundred stand of arms have been sent into Clinton county for the use of the northern fron- tier.
These, with the accoutrements, which are already deposited with them, are the arms referred to in the Governor's letter.
The ditch and glacis of Fort-Stanwix, are said to be in as good a state of re- pair, as when occupied by the Ameri- can army in the late war.
By a gentleman from Fort-Stanwix, we learn, that by several persons who arrived there in a boat from Niagara, he was informed, that news had been re- ceived at the latter place, from the Mi- amies, stating that General Wayne, with the American army, had began his march into the Indian country—that he had defeated the Indians in a battle near the rapids of the Miamies, and on his arrival at the fort erected by Gov- ernor Simcoe, at the foot of the rapids, he sent a peremptory order to the Bri- tish garrison to evacuate the place in 15 minutes—and that in case of their com- pliance they would be permitted to re- turn to Detroit or Niagara, in peace, but that if they hesitated he would im- mediately storm the fort. The British not thinking it prudent to dispute this matter with the hero of Stony Point, marched off within the time limited.
Two gentlemen who passed through this city on Tuesday last, direct from Niagara, reported, That the day before they left that place, 3 Indian runners arrived from the Miami country, with tidings of the Indians having been de- feated, in an action with Gen. Wayne; and demanding immediate succour from the British; in consequence of which the three companies in that garrison, were ordered to march to the relief of their tawny allies. It is added, the In- dians used threats to the commander at Niagara, telling him, unless he complied with their demands, they would desert the British, and make peace with the United States—Captain Brant was to go with three companies. The militia were called in to keep garrison.
The following letter from his Excel- lency the Governor, to the Major-Gen- eral of the Militia of the Western District, was this morning received, by express— and it gives us great pleasure to be en- abled thus early to communicate the same to our numerous readers—especially those of the western counties, whose interest is so materially concerned—the prompt and de- cided measures which the executive has taken, must in a great measure allay their apprehensions, and inspire them with a confidence of being supported in their claims and assisted with the force of the country, in case they are interrupted in their settle- ments.
Little Britain, Ulster county, 6th September 1794.
Sir,
A circumstance has lately occurred on our western frontier, which renders it ne- cessary that the arms and accoutrements, for which I transmitted to you an order on the 2d ultimo, should, if not already done be immediately drawn and forwarded, especially the proportion of them destined for the militia of the western frontier, and particularly those for the county of On- tario. If the store has been incompetent to furnish accoutrements required, you will please notify me of it, in order that the deficiency may instantly be supplied.
For your more particular information, I enclose you a copy of a protest, delivered by a British lieutenant, at the settlement forming by Judge Williamson, at Great- Sodus. The principle set up in it, and which equally applies to all our settle- ments west of the former line of property, cannot for a moment be tolerated by our government—and if any attempt should be made on the part of the British to carry it into execution, it will be justifiable and necessary on our part to repel force by force. Under this impression, therefore, I ear- nestly request that you will exert every mean in your power to keep the militia of your division in the most perfect readiness for actual service.
I take the liberty of inclosing to your care a letter from the War department, and from myself to Charles Williamson, Esq., on public business; and to request that you will be pleased to forward them by ex- press, should the western post not afford a safe and expeditious conveyance. I will cheerfully pay to your order any expence that may occur in forwarding these dis- patches. I am, with great respect your most obedient servant,
GEO. CLINTON. Major General Gansevoort.
PHILADELPHIA,
SEPTEMBER 17.
Wilson Villa Sail Duck Manufactory Pennsylvania.
As every friend to the encreasing prosperity of this country rejoices in the success of its manufactures. With plea- sure we announce to the public that of the Sail Duck, belonging to the Hon. Judge Wilson on the Wallenpou-

pack falls for weaving and spinning hemp and flax by water; being a method superior to any other for saving manual labor; therefore of the greatest utility to the country. It is worthy remark the manufactory which was begun from the ground in the month of June last is in such forwardness that the spinning and weaving machinery will be at work this fall; although the building is 160 feet long 44 wide, 86 high with a mill race 400 feet in length; it is calculated to weave 9600 pieces of cloth in a year. The water wheels machinery and every thing for the work is to be executed within six months from the commencement. Our correspondent observes, the whole scene had the appearance of enchantment; the spirited exertions which have been made are scarcely to be credited, and the liberal, patriotic Judge Wilson certainly deserves the highest encomiums from his fellow citizens. We understand Mr. Groombridge Portait and Landscape Painter of Philadelphia, has lately visited this beautiful place where he has enriched his collection with many superb views among which, are the Grand and romantic fall of Wallenpaupack. Our correspondent who passed through the town saw one loom compleat and the others in great forwardness; he seems to have no doubt but Mr. Davenport the patentee will have all at work in a few weeks.
Letters from Baltimore by yesterday's mail inform that Gen. Smith had marched from that place with a body of men to suppress an insurrection in the county of Washington. The Insurgents threatened the public stores at Frederick Town.
Monday, at a meeting held at the City-Tavern, of upwards of sixty respectable citizens, associated to form a company of Infantry to march to the westward, Major William Macpherson was elected captain, Peter Baynton, Esq., lieutenant, Mr. Thomas M'Euen, second lieutenant, and Mr. Thomas M. Willing, ensign.
Extract of a letter from Carlisle, Sept. 8. "Mr. Petriken of this place has received a letter from W. Findlay, which expresses his apprehensions that the people over the mountains will not submit to the laws, and that they are stimulated to resist them, by a number of disappointed men, who have been seeking offices under the State, or General Government, and hope to succeed better if they can effect another revolution. I am sorry to perceive something of the same spirit in this county, which may have very serious consequences, if not speedily checked. That old root of bitterness, which the adoption of the Federal Government planted in the hearts of many here, is beginning to sprout up with great vigour."
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 15. We announce, with indefinable pleasure, that the great and mighty Democratic Society of Philadelphia have resolved that they approve of the moderate, prudent and republican conduct of the President and Governor Mifflin, in pursuing a plan of Pacification with the Insurgents. What, the President guilty of one republican act! Is not this a mistake? All we are surprised at, is that after several hundred Democrats have resolved they disapprove of the insurrection, the Insurgents do not, every soul, submit to the laws, and go to work on their farms. We always thought before, that they had influence, and that one resolve of theirs would do more to quell disturbances, than all the law or all the military force in the union.
At the annual Commencement at Rhode-Island College, twenty young gentlemen received the honors of a Bachelor's degree. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on the Hon. John Jay, Chief Justice of the United States, and Dr. Lettson of Great Britain.
At the Commencement at Dartmouth College, the degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on forty five persons, and that of Master of Arts, on twenty seven. The degree of Master of Arts was also conferred on John T. Gilman, Governor of New-Hampshire.
NEW-BRUNSWICK, Sept. 16. Last Thursday a detachment of near two hundred cavalry marched from this place for Trenton, the place of rendezvous under the command of General White, where they are to be joined by the rest of the cavalry ordered from this state—it is just to observe, that both officers and privates made a truly military appearance, and we trust, are fully sensible of the importance and necessity of the expedition, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, several detachments of cavalry and infantry arrived here, part of which have gone on for Trenton.
On Saturday last a party of cavalry, said to be from Philadelphia and going to New-York, passed through this city, and yesterday repassed on their return; we have not been able to learn their business.
VIENNA, June 21. His Imperial Majesty arrived yesterday in perfect health at Schoenbrunn. We learn that our Court is on the point of acceding to the coalition of Russia and Prussia against Poland; that a manifesto against that country is soon to appear, and that our Charge d' Affaires, at Warsaw, M. de Cathe, is to leave that place. The Polish General Mosechiusky, who has resided here for some time, was arrested the day before yesterday.
From the RHINE, June 26. The Prussians have taken possession of Homburgh and Deuxponts. The head-quarters of Field Marshal Moeendorff are at Kaisers-Lautern, and large magazines are establishing in our neighborhood. The head-quarters of Gen. Kalkreuth are at Otweiler, and his advanced posts are near St. Imbert. At the Austrian Army nothing particular has happened for some days past. His Royal Highness the Archduke Joseph passed last Tuesday through Mentz.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
June 26. Guadet, Barbaroux, Salle, Buzot, and Petion.
The following important intelligence relative to the above deputies of the Brissotine party was communicated to the Convention by the committee of general safety:
Guadet, some time ago, was seen near Bec d'Ambes. The information was immediately conveyed to the patriots. It was supposed that he had either retreated to the rocks and fastnesses of St. Emilion, or that he was concealed in his father's house. All the suspected places were surrounded. The search was nearly over, when a volunteer observed some suspicious appearances near the roof of Guadet's house. A more narrow search was then determined on. As the patriots approached the roof, they heard the snapping of a pistol. Arriving at the end of their search, they discovered Guadet and Salle, whom they immediately secured. The snapping of the pistol proceeded from Barbaroux, who, despairing of making his escape, fired a pistol into his mouth, and was found weltering in his blood, and on the point of expiring. Guadet and Salle, being carried before the revolutionary tribunal, were tried, found guilty, and executed. The committee also declared, that well founded hopes were entertained of finding Buzot and Petion. They were suspected to be concealed in the environs of St. Emilion. All the neighboring communes were employed in searching for them.
Saturday, July 5. Voeu, in the name of the Commissaires of Dispatches, presented to the Convention a number of Addresses from different parts of the Republic, congratulating them on the late successes.
Sunday, July 6. Thibaudot made a report in the name of the Committee of Public Instruction, with respect to a new series of Elementary Works, adapted to the different objects of education, and the recompence which ought to be granted to their authors.
On the proposition of Cambon, a decree passed, appointing several regulations with respect to the payments to be made in the National Treasury, by those who had in their hands funds or effects belonging to the countries at war with the Republic.
Jambon St. Andre announced the capture of three ships; two English and one Spanish, laden with wool and Spanish wine which had been carried into Port de la Montagne.
The Department of Marine, informed the Convention, that a subscription had been opened in that department, for the building of a ship of the line for the service of the Republic. Honorable mention and insertion in the Bulletin.
Barrere informed the Convention, that the garrison of Valenciennes, Conde, Queinoi, and Landrecies were very completely surrounded, and that all communication between these garrisons and the grand allied army had been rendered almost impracticable, on account of the well chosen position of the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, between Mons and Brussels.
Statement of the killed on the part of the Coalesced Powers since the capture of Landrecies.
On the 2d Prairial (21st of May) in the first combat near the wood of Bonne Esperance, 15,000 slaves were killed.
On the 5th Prairial, (24th May) in the combat near the Abbey of Obbe, 15,000 slaves.
On the 7th Prairial, (26th May) in the attack of Montigny, 1000.
From the 7th to the 15th Prairial (3d June) when Charleroi was first blocked, 2000 Austrians.
On the 28th Prairial (16th June) in the very bloody engagement on that day, 6000 of their accomplices.
On the 30th Prairial, (18th June) near Harleymont, 200.
On the 7th Messidor, (24th June) 800 bit the dust.
On the 8th Messidor, (26th June) in the celebrated battle of Fleurus—in that battle which will eternally recall to our remembrance the illustrious march of the soldiers of the army of the Moselle, who penetrated the wood of Ardennes, and crossed the rock of the Meuse, to afford an example of discipline to the enemy, and beat the enemy at Charleroi, in concert with the armies of the North and Ardennes; in that battle we have stated the loss of the Allies to be between 8 and 10,000. The Representatives of the people have informed us, that the report of deserters since the battle of the 8th Messidor, estimate the loss of the enemy at 15,000. On this part of the frontiers the number of deserters from the Imperial standard is 600. To this we may add the garrison of Charleroi, which amounted to 3000 slaves, which surrendered at discretion.
Total of the killed, &c. 31,600.
On the side of the sea the defeat is the same, during the short period in which the French have over-run all West Flanders.
Besides these, 6000 were taken, and 67 pieces of cannon, in the battle fought before the capture of Ypres. To this number must be added the amount of the garrison of Ypres, which is 7000 men.
A deputation from the Popular Society of Amiens complained of the conduct of the Representative, Andre Dumont. Dumont rebutted this complaint by reading a letter in which the Members, comprising the present deputation, had congratulated him on his Republican conduct, and had particularly applauded that action which they now condemned.
The Convention ordered the Deputy and the Members of the deputation to go before the Committee of General Safety.
LONDON, July 8.
Letters from Florence mention that the British Minister there, Mr. Wyndham, has fought a duel with the Tuscan Chamberlain Caletti, whom he had accused of being a Jacobin.
The Marquis Cornwallis, arrived on the 28th ult. at Brussels, and set out next day, accompanied by count Metternich, for the head quarters of the Prince of Cobourg, to acquaint him with the result of his conference with the Prussian Field-Marshal Moeendorff, at Kaiserslautern.
General Paoli, by a manifesto dated the 10th of May, has declared war against the Republic of Genoa, in the name of the Corsicans.
Letters from Stockholm, of the 20th ult. state, that Lord Spencer, the British Minister, took his leave of that Court on the 19th ult.
July 10. Lord Cornwallis is expected home in the course of this week.
A very general report prevailed yesterday in the city, that it had been discovered to a positive certainty, that the King of Prussia had some time since made a separate Treaty with the French. We shall attach no opinion of our own to any such rumour, but it gives us pleasure to find, that the 600,000. in specie, sent to Hamburg in two of our frigates, as a payment of the King of Prussia's subsidy, still remains in the strong chest of Mr. John Parish, at Hamburg, to whom it was consigned as our Agent, subject to the future disposal of Marquis Cornwallis.
Earl Howe and the other admirals appeared at Court with gold chains about their necks, which his Majesty invested them with at Portsmouth.
THORN, (in Prussia) July 5.
General Kosciuszko has not yet passed the Vistula, but is still on the right shore of that river, and his camp is at Gura, five leagues from Warsaw. The Prince Royal of Prussia has advanced with his corps to Blonie, four leagues from the same residence. The King of Prussia has left Konieie, and moved near the frontiers of Southern Prussia, where he directs the operations of the right wing of the army, which extends from Lowyicz to the Prince Royal's corps; so that the Prussian forces form a chain, and in a few days will approach nearer to Warsaw. A corps of 10,000 Russians is also at Biala, eight leagues from that city.
In this situation of affairs Kosciuszko we think, will find it difficult to save himself; but we do not think the capture of Warsaw will be followed by a general submission of the Poles; they are too conscious of the justice of their cause, and are determined to support it to the last extremity.
The Supreme National Council has ordered a general arming of the people, and that magazines shall be formed in all the towns, which have not been occupied by the enemy. In fact, the whole Polish nation seem disposed to sacrifice every thing for their country and their independence.
From the EAGLE.
FOR THE RILL.
A SONG.
IN a garden of roses, a sweet blushing bud, One morning, attracted my light; All roses around it, methought, it out-shone, Its tints were transcendent bright. I mark'd it, designing e'er long to return, And place all its sweets in my breast; But a reptile, in ambush, alas! had destroyed This darling, so lately cared'st. Thus blooming and sweet my dear MIRRA appear'd, When destiny forc'd me away; Why heaves that fond bosom? ah! dry up those tears, For short shall be CELADON's stay. I returned on Love's wings and ye powers, I cried, This morn shall make MIRRA my own; I fought her—your pity afford me ye swains For the beautiful charmer was gone. Grim Death who lay lurking and envied my bliss, Had cropt this sweet rose-bud so fair; Its colors were vanished its fragrance was flown, And CELADON—doomed to despair! PASTORELLA.
Pennsylvania Militia.
THE MILITIA, now preparing to assemble at the different places, appointed by the Governor's orders, of the 13th inst. will have to furnish themselves with provisions for their march to the respective places of rendezvous, for which they will be paid the price allowed for the rations by the United States. On their arrival at the said places appointed for assembling, rations will be furnished them.
ARMS ACCOUTREMENTS, TENTS, and CAMP-KETTLES, will be furnished by the United States to the several corps, at the respective places appointed for them to assemble, on their commanding officer's making return of the officers and men composing their corps, as they may arrive, for which purpose the greatest expedition will be used to forward the necessary supplies.
FORAGE will also be provided for the cavalry and officers horses which are entitled to forage, and the same will be paid for at the established price, from the time of their collecting in their respective counties until their arrival at the several places appointed for assembling.
Each complete company will be allowed a four horse waggon to carry their camp equipage; and the same for the field officers of each regiment; which the several commanding officers are requested to engage to serve for the expedition, and they will be paid at the rate of thirty-five shillings per day for each four horse waggon, and driver, furnishing their own subsistence. To accommodate them as far as possible, forage will be laid in at the different places appointed for assembling, and delivered at the prime cost to such as choose to apply for it; and in case the general arrangements should make it necessary to furnish them with forage after they leave Carlisle, an equitable rate will be settled in establishing the price of hire then to be allowed.
As the tents, with their poles, camp-kettles and equipage must in all events be conveyed in the wagons allowed to each corps, it will be necessary to restrict the loading wagons allowed to companies with baggage as much as possible.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.
In the British House of Commons on the 10th July—Mr. Sheridan in a long speech reproached the continuance of the war, in which he charged the Ministry with keeping the object of the war out of sight—with keeping all the negotiations secret—the money paid to the King of Prussia was secret—and it was a secret where the men were which he stipulated to furnish—He adverted to American affairs and concluded with moving for an account of the money paid to the King of Prussia—and of the number of men he had furnished. Mr. Fox and Mr. Gray joined Mr. Sheridan; they were replied to by Mr. Pitt and some others—the scope of his speech shews that the Ministry are determined to prosecute the war—The question on the motion was negatived without a division.
The British Parliament was prorogued to the 19th of August, as appears by Messrs. Strahan's publication of the King's speech.

Should any rations be required at any place or within other districts, not specified in these proposals, the price of the same is to be hereafter agreed on between the United States and the contractor.
The rations to be supplied are to consist of the following articles, viz.
 One pound of bread or flour,  One pound of beef, or 3/4 of a pound of pork,  One quart of salt,  Two quarts of vinegar,  Two pounds of soap,  One pound of candles, 
The rations are to be furnished in such quantities, as that there shall at all times, during the said term, be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at each of the said posts, for the term of at least three months in advance, in good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required.
It is to be understood in each case, that all losses sustained by the depredations of the enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the prices of the articles captured or destroyed, on the depositions of two or more persons of creditable characters, and the certificate of a commissioned officer, ascertaining the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed.
The contract for the above supplies will be made either for one year, or for two years, as may appear eligible. Persons disposed to contract will therefore confine
their offers to one year, as they may form their propositions so as to admit an election of the term of two years.
The offers may comprise all the places which have been specified, or a part of them only.
It is also Desired,
that proposals may be offered for supplying at the two posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh all the rations necessary for the main Army, its detachments and the Gar- risons above mentioned during the said year 1795. The provisions &c. which will be required at Pittsburgh will be those which shall be necessary for the troops at that place and at its posts north, north-west and, in the vicinity, on the west thereof. The provisions which will be required at Fort Washington will be those which shall be required for the remainder of the posts, for the principal detachments and for the main Army. The expense and trouble of safe keeping unpacking and lining the provisions deliverable under this second form of the proposition, will be saved to the Contractors. The exact proportion of the whole supplies, which will be required at each of the two Posts, of Fort Washing- ton and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract.

Twenty Dollars Reward.
MY Saddle Mare was stolen from Wy- Mill, Talbot County, Maryland, on the night of the 30th of August last. She is black, and supposed to be ten or twelve years old, under four teen bands high, com- pact and handsome, branded with the let- ter O, on the left shoulder, a hideous scar on her forehead, a large full eye, the neck crest fallen, a flat buttock, her fore foot turns in, and one of them white; she racks, trots and canters, has good spirits, and goes very plainly. It taken up out of the state, I will give the above reward of twenty dollars and all reasonable char- ges, if within the state and thirty miles from Wy Mill, eight dollars and reason- able charges, and if a shorter distance in proportion, to any person who will deliver her to the Subscriber at the mill.

The TRIAL
OF Maurice Margarot,
Before the High Court of Judiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIONARY PRACTICES.
"Of the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal per- usal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the last views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontrovertibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and deci- sions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unaffrighted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."

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

Could to the youthful docile mind convey Pernicious precepts, tell loose tales, And paint illicit passion in such colours, As might mislead the unsusppecting heart, And misstate the young, unsettle judgment.

C. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sug- gestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he will keep for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of diffusing a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O. to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are nar- rower and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in
