P. S. As he shortly intends returning to France, he invites such Ladies and Gentlemen as may be desirous of having their Portraits drawn, to take advantage of the present time.
Tuition of the French Tongue,
IN AN APPROVED MANNER.
P. L. PORTIER.
AFTER examining the French pronunciation, with regard to the letters made use of to express it, and the difficulties which necessarily occur in its being soon acquired by foreigners who apply themselves to the study of the French tongue; difficulties arising—1st. From the different ways in which the same sound is represented—2d. From the usual way of expressing different sounds—3d. And from the want of means fit to convey to the mind those sounds with simplicity and clearness.
Convinced that to remove these difficulties, or at least to lessen them, is an attempt worthy the attention of those who are desirous to learn the French language. P. L. Portier, most respectfully offers his services to the enlightened public of this city, in order to teach the French tongue, especially the reading of it, by a method yet unpractised any where.
This method, simple in itself, is to convey to the mind, by means of particular characters, every kind of sounds, and words, without any regard to the letters used to compose them.
Each character will express one syllable, representing to the mind the only French sound proper for it; these characters are so easy to form, and so recollectable, that the meanest conception may thoroughly understand them in less than a month.
As soon as the scholar is acquainted with these characters, he cannot be at a loss in the reading of any French words, because he will find in the table of characters, and observations thereon, the right way of pronouncing every proper word.
Another advantage deriving from this method, is to enable the learner to adapt these characters to his own tongue; which he may find very convenient, either to write private notes, or even correspond with any one having a knowledge of them.
The intention of the author is to keep an Evening School from 7 to 9, and to attend at the houses of those Ladies and Gentlemen who may be pleased to honour him with their commands. He will teach every day, Sundays excepted, one hour by lesson, during which, he will do his utmost to deserve their favours.
He may presume to assure his patrons, that the greatest punctuality shall be observed in his hours of attendance, and that neither care nor pains shall be wanting for their improvement in reading, writing and speaking the French language. Apply to No. 181, fourth Front Street, between Spruce and Pine-Street. November 17. codiv.

FROM THE ARGUS.
THE DEFENCE—No. XXV.
IT will be useful as it will simplify the examination of the commercial articles of the Treaty, to bear in mind and preserve the division, that we find established by the 12th, 13th, and the 14th and 15th articles; each respects a particular branch or portion of the trade between the two countries, the regulations whereof differ from, and are severally independent of each other—Thus one is relative to the West-Indies—another to the East-Indies—and the third distinct from both the former respects our trade with the British dominions in Europe.
That Great Britain will consent to place our trade with her West-Indies colonies upon an equally advantageous footing with her own is improbable. This would be doing what no one of the great colonizing nations has done, or is likely to do—it would be to relinquish the principal ends of the establishment, and defence of her colonies, it would be equivalent to making her islands in the West-Indies the common property of Great Britain and America for all commercial and profitable purposes; and exclusively her own in the burthen of support and defence.
The Senate have, however, and I think wisely, considered the terms and conditions, on which it is agreed by the XIth article that we should participate in the trade to the British West-Indies, as less liberal than we may with reason expect—The exclusion of all vessels above the burthen of seventy tons, would diminish the benefit and value of this trade; and tho' we cannot calculate upon obtaining by future negotiation a total removal of a limitation that is, is not altogether impossible that a larger may be procured.
Those who are conversant with our present intercourse in the West-Indies can best determine whether any vessel under seventy tons burthen are not at all time profitably employed in that trade; if it be true, that previous to our war with Great Britain, vessels of this burthen were employed, as well in the south as in the north.
The disadvantageous, is not the result of the XIth article; the restraints on the exportation of a portion of our trade, which depend on the Treaty, and are independent of the Treaty, form a more decisive reason against the article than any thing else that it contains.
The case of the restraints is found in that commercial jealousy and spirit of monopoly, which have so long reigned over the trade of the colonies—Under our Treaty with France and the French colonies, it has been shown that we could not procure from the French islands sugar, coffee, cocoa, cotton, or any of their other productions, molasses and rum excepted—Great Britain has been it to be compatible with her interest to admit us to share more extensively in the productions of her islands; but she has desired to place limitations on this intercourse. To have left it to her own discretion and to have entitled us not only to supply ourselves by means of our own navigation, but to have made it an instrument of the supply of other nations with her West-India productions would have been a most decisive reason against the article.
When we reflect upon the established maxims of the colony system, and moreover when we consider, that an entire freedom of trade with the British West-Indies might at times materially raise the price of West-India productions on the British consumers, the supply of whom is essentially a monopoly in the hands of the British Planters, we shall be the less inclined to believe that Great Britain will yield an unrestrained commerce with her West-India possessions to any nation whatever.
But if this was the object of the restraints, it may be asked why it was not confined to such enumerated articles as were of the growth or production of her own islands, instead of being so extended as to comprehend molasses, sugar, coffee, cocoa, and cotton including even the cotton of the growth of our own country? It is very possible that the circumstances of our native cotton's becoming an object of export to foreign markets might induce our negotiator. This would be the case, if it were not that it has not been a subject of export rather in the manner of experiment than otherwise, and as moreover, from the difficulty of separating the seeds from the cotton, we have been hardly able hitherto to cotton among our exports. Its cultivation lately have become an object of attention in Georgia and South-Carolina; but however it cannot yet be considered as a staple commodity—But from the recent ingenious and simple machine for separating cotton; it is hoped that the cultivation may be extended, so that not only our own domestic manufactures may be relieved from a dependence on foreign supply, but the catalogue of our valuable exports enriched by the addition of this inestimable production.
In answer to the question that has been stated, it may be further observed that these enumerated articles, though the productions of different territories, being so much alike as not easily to be distinguished, it is probable that the difficulty in discriminating the productions of the British islands from those of a different growth was supposed to be so great, that an apprehension was entertained that the prohibition to re-export the former would be easily evaded and illusory, while the latter remained free.
This apprehension however, it is believed, was carried too far, as on a minute examination of the subject it will be found, that our laws relative to drawback, with a few analogous provisions in addition, can be made sufficiently to discriminate and identify on re-exportation all such articles of the growth of the British islands as may be within our country, and that they will afford the same security for a faithful and exact execution of the prohibition to re-export such articles, as that on which our own government relies against frauds upon the revenue. The application of these laws, with the requisite additions and sanctions, may be secured by a precise stipulation for that purpose in the Treaty,
in such manner as would afford an adequate guard against material evasions.
But though the conduct of the Senate in withholding their assent to this article is conceived to have been upon the whole well judged and wise, yet there were not wanting reasons of real weight to induce our negotiator to agree to it as it stands.
The inviolability of the principles of the navigation act had become a kind of axiom incorporated in the habits of thinking of the British government and nation—Precedent, it is known, has great influence as well upon the councils as upon the popular opinions of nations!—and there is perhaps no country in which it has greater force than that of Great Britain—The precedent of a serious and unequivocal innovation upon the system of the navigation act, dissolved as it were the spell, by which the public prejudices had been chained to it. It took away a mighty argument derived from the past inflexibility of the system and laid the foundation for greater inroads upon opinion for further and greater innovations in practice. It served to strip the question of every thing that was artificial and to bring it to the simple test of real national interest, to be decided by that best of all arbiters, experience.
It may upon this ground be strongly argued that the precedent of the privilege gained was of more importance than its immediate extent—an argument certainly of real weight and which is sufficient to incline candid men to view the motives that governed our negotiator in this particular, with favor, and the opinion to which he yielded with respect. It is perhaps not unimportant, by way of precedent that the article tho' not established, is found in the treaty.
Though the 12th article so far as respects the terms and conditions of the trade to the British Islands forms no part of the treaty, having been excepted, and made the subject of further negotiation, it may nevertheless be useful to take notice of some of the many ill-founded objections that have been made against it; of this character is that which asserts that the catalogue of articles permitted to be carried by us to the British Islands may be abridged at the pleasure of Great Britain, and so the trade may be annihilated.
The article stipulates that we may carry to any of his Majesty's Islands and Ports in the West-Indies from the United States in American vessels not exceeding seventy tons, any goods or merchandise "being of the growth manufacture or production of the said states, which it is or may be lawful to carry to the said Islands from the said States in British Vessels," not all such articles as it is and may be lawful to carry but in the disjunctive, all such as it is or may be lawful to carry in other words, all such articles as it is now lawful to carry, together with such others as hereafter it may be lawful to carry: the catalogue may be enlarged but cannot be diminished. It may also be remarked incidentally that this objection sounds ill in the mouths of those who maintain the essentiality of the supplies of this Country, under all possible circumstances, to the British West-Indies; for if this position be true there never can be a reasonable ground of apprehension of too little latitude in the exportation in British Vessels, which is to be the standard for the exportation in ours.

Mr. Printer,
A traveller, whose progress was this day arrested, by beholding an elegant edifice for public worship, surrounded by a throng of people, takes the liberty, through the channel of your useful and entertaining paper, to remark—That he sees the fullest evidences of a prosperous country through which he is passing. He could not forbear astonishment at the amazing contract between the grumblings of those whom he had heard complaining of the oppressive government of the land, and the flourishing state of it—the earth groaning under the burden of its increase—the people appearing to enjoy themselves with high glee—farms under good cultivation—old houses repairing and new ones erecting—churches building, with a degree of magnificence not to be expected to remote from great commercial cities. Under these impressions, you may be assured that I entered heartily into the spirit of the vast congregation, which was assembled for the dedication of the new church erected on your plain. As the scene was somewhat novel to me it was highly entertaining. I do not therefore regret my detention, nor was I willing to decline my head to rest till I had given you the above sentiments, for in the morning I must early go on my way; and with the best wishes for your prosperity, will bid you GOOD NIGHT. VICTOR.

LONDON, Sept. 17.
There seems no doubt but that the French have formed the project of marching along the right banks of the Rhine, and to attack Mentz from the side of Cassel. To effect this purpose, they must dislodge an army of 20,000 Austrians, which has retreated to Rittingen, four miles from Dusseldorf; where they occupy a position covered by woods and ravines, and the roads to which are extremely bad. They must also pass the Lahn, the banks of which are very steep, and which is defended by the gallant General Beaulieu.
On the other hand, General Wurmsfer, is making every disposition for passing the upper Rhine; whither more bodies of French troops are marching to oppose his progress.
Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, the Church of St. Paul, Covent Garden, on the repairs of which near 5000l. have within these few years been expended, was entirely destroyed by fire. The flames broke out in the cupola, owing to the carelessness of some workmen
employed in it, who suffered a pitch pot to boil over.
This beautiful building was thoroughly repaired about six years since, at an expence of a 11000l. It had formerly been insured at the Westminster Fire Office for 10,000l. but the insurance has been out about a year, without being renewed; the loss, therefore, falls on the parish.
From Saturday's London Gazette.
At the court at Weymouth, the 15th of Sept. 1795, Present, the king's most excellent majesty in council. Whereas the countries belonging to the United Provinces have, for some time past, been and still continue, in the possession of the armies of France, and under the immediate influence and direction of the persons who exercise the powers of government in France: And whereas divers injudicious proceedings have lately been had in the said United Provinces, in derogation of the honor of his Majesty's crown, and the just rights of his subjects, the ships of war, fitted out from the said United Provinces, have received orders to take and destroy all British vessels, and some British vessels have been actually so taken:
His majesty, therefore, being determined to take such measures as are necessary for vindicating the honour of his crown, and for procuring reparation and satisfaction, is pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that general reprisals be granted against the ships, goods and subjects of the United Provinces, so far as well his majesty's fleets and ships, as also all other ships and vessels that shall be commissioned by letters of marque, or general reprisal, or otherwise, by his majesty's commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of Great Britain, shall and may lawfully seize all ships, vessels and goods belonging to the United Provinces or their subjects, or others inhabiting within any of the territories of the aforesaid United Provinces, and bring the same to judgment in any of the Courts of Admiralty within his majesty's dominions.
And to that end his majesty's advocate general, with the advocate of the admiralty, are forthwith to prepare a draft of commission, and present the same to his majesty at this board, authorizing the commissioners for executing the office of lord high admiral, or any person or persons by them appointed to issue forth and grant letters of Marque and reprisal to any of his majesty's subjects, or others, whom the said commissioners shall deem fitly qualified in that behalf for the apprehending, seizing and taking the ships, vessels and goods belonging to the United Provinces, and their vassals and subjects, or any inhabiting within the countries, territories, or dominions of the aforesaid United Provinces; and that such powers and clauses be inserted in the said commission as have been usual, and are according to former precedents. And his majesty's said advocate general, with the advocate of the admiralty, are also forthwith to prepare the draught of a commission, and present the same to his majesty at this board, authorizing the said commissioners for executing the office of lord high admiral to will and require the high court of Admiralty of Great Britain and the lieutenant and judge of the court, his surrogate or surrogates, as also the several courts of admiralty within his majesty's dominions, to take cognizance of, and judicially proceed upon all and manner of captures, seizures, prizes and reprisals of all ships and goods that are or shall be taken, and to hear and determine the same; and, according to the course of Admiralty, and the laws of nations, to adjudge and condemn all such ships, vessels and goods as shall belong to the United Provinces, or their vassals and subjects, or to any other inhabiting within any of the countries, territories and dominions of the aforesaid United Provinces, and that such powers and clauses be inserted in the said commission as have been usual, and are according to former precedents.
And they are likewise to prepare, and lay before his Majesty at this board, a draught of such instructions as may be proper, to be sent to the courts of Admiralty in his Majesty's foreign governments & plantations, for their guidance herein; as also another draught of instructions for such ships as shall be commissioned for the purposes aforesaid.
September 22.
On Saturday dispatches were received at the Admiralty Office, from Commodore Sir John B. Warren, dated Quiberon Bay, September 9, and brought to Plymouth by the Artois, Sir Edward Nagel. In these dispatches the Commodore states his having received intelligence from La Vendee, that in consequence of a grand council of war, held at Nantes by the republican generals, all the national guards of the neighbouring communes were directed to assemble in that city, in order to cross the Loire and make a furious attack upon the Vendéans. The national guards having at first declined, and afterwards absolutely refused to participate in a measure merely calculated to cause Frenchmen to massacre each other; the generals put themselves at the head of the troops of the line, lately arrived from the frontiers, reinforced by some requisition men, and this force, consisting of 14 battalions, marched against Charette; who apprised of their intention, advanced to meet them, between Machecoul and Noirmoutier, and attacked and defeated the republican army with such slaughter that scarce four battalions of the conventional troops escaped. The Commodore observes, that altho' he has not yet received any official account of this action, yet he has every reason to believe the above information to be true.
Yesterday government received further dispatches from Sir J. B. Warren, dated the 10th inst. bro't to Plymouth by the Dolphin cutter of 16 guns, which arrived there on Saturday. [The preceding account not being confirmed, is doubtless premature.]
Yesterday Mr. Windham went to the Duke de Bourbon, at Lafabloniere's Hotel, Leicester-fields, to inform him that the necessary arrangements for his departure are now made: and this day the Duke with his suite, set out from London to embark for the coast of France.
By the Paris papers of the 18th and 19th inst. which arrived by express this evening, we learn, that Gen. Jourdan is preparing to pass the Rhine, at the head of 80,000 men, to co-operate with

Kleber, whose army is stated to have consisted of 25,000. The possession of the Isle of Nieuwed is mentioned as affording him a certainty of success. Kleber is said to have continued his march along the banks of the Rhine, after leaving a strong garrison in Dusseldorf, with a view to attack the fortresses of Muhlheim, which serves to cover Coblenz; he will then join General Jourdan, and their united forces are to attack the strong fortresses of Ehrenbreitstein.
General Pichegru, with 150,000, occupied the banks of the Rhine, from Huningen to the spot in which Jourdan's army is now stationed. The two armies are to commence hostilities at all points, unless the Empire consents to the immediate conclusion of a peace.
Letters which have been received at Paris, from Basle, mention, that a cessation of hostilities has been agreed upon between France and the Italian States.

Tuesday, September 15.
Extract of a letter from Lieutenant Pearce of the Marines, to his grace the Duke of Portland, dated Tempie, New Galicia, two hundred leagues to the N. W. of the city of Mexico, April 25, 1795.
I have the honour of acquainting your grace, that, in obedience to your instructions, I proceeded from Monterey to Nootka, in company with Brigadier General Alava, the officer appointed by the court of Spain, for finally terminating the negotiations relative to that port; where, having satisfied myself respecting the state of the country at the time of the arrival of the Spaniards, preparations were immediately made for dismantling the fort which the Spaniards had erected on an island that guarded the mouth of the harbour, and embarking the ordnance. By the morning of the 28th all the artillery were embarked, part on board his Catholic Majesty's sloop of war Active, and part on board the San Carlos guardship. — Brigadier General Alava and myself then met, agreeably to our respective instructions, on the place, where we signed and exchanged the declaration and counter declaration for restoring those lands to his majesty, as agreed upon by the two courts. After which ceremony I ordered the British flag to be hoisted in token of possession, and the general gave directions for the troops to embark.
ROYALISTS OF LA VENDÉE.
ADDRESS
Of the Chiefs of the Army of La Vendée to his Britannic Majesty, brought to England by one of Charette's Aids-de-Camp.
SIRE,
The Royalists of La Vendée are about to lay their sentiments, their wishes, and their hopes, at the feet of the greatest and most generous of sovereigns. For these three years past, we have not ceased to combat for the re-establishment of the throne and of the altar. Whilst France, either the victim or the accomplice of the tyrants, by which she is governed, threatens, since that period, as well with her principles as her arms, all the states leagued against her, a handful of Frenchmen, faithful to their God and their king, brave all dangers, surmount all obstacles, in order to restore happiness to their country and tranquillity to Europe.
Sometimes conquered, and often conquerors, our defeats as well as our victories, have cost the armies of the Convention more than 300,000 men; but unfortunately, such an important diversion, in favor of the combined powers, has hitherto served only to exhaust our means, and to weaken us, instead of procuring us the assistance which we had a right to expect, as well from sound policy, as from the promises of those who were allies of the cause which we defend. At last we learn that the white flag is floating on the coast of Brittany; the Royalists of La Vendée have resumed the arms which they had for a moment been induced to lay down, in consequence of a formal promise that efforts should be speedily made for the re-establishment of Royalty.
Not only deceived in our expectations, but threatened in the persons of our chiefs, some of whom have been basely massacred, others arrested, in violation of treaties, our battalions are again assembled, and several victories have already signalized the new Campaign which we have recently opened. It is thus, then Sire, with those arms in our hands which are destined to combat the enemies of kings, that we present ourselves before your majesty, and that we solicit you to unite your armies to ours, to concur in the re-establishment of our lawful sovereign on the throne of his ancestors. Long, too long, has the blood of England and France been flowing; the two nations feel the necessity of a just and honorable peace; but such a peace can only be procured from a monarchy. Did an opportunity more precious to your majesty's heart ever occur? Did one ever exist more glorious than that which now presents itself, for concurring in the re-establishment of a King upon the throne of France?
Such Sire, are our wishes; such also are our hopes; and your Royal heart is too magnanimous to suffer us to be disappointed in our expectations. Relying on the generous protection of your arms, we will continue to combat your enemies and our own. Acquiring an accession of strength from assistance thus powerful, our soldiers will become, if possible, more powerful than ever. Until the arrival of that happy epoch, we will not cease to address our vows to Heaven for the preservation of your Majesty's life, and for the welfare and prosperity of your subjects. With these sentiments, joined to those of the most profound respect, we beseech your majesty to believe us ever.
Sire, your most obedient and most humble Servants,
The Royalists of La Vendée,

BOSTON, November 11.
Extract of a letter from a citizen of Pennsylvania, to his friend in Massachusetts.
"It will give pleasure to all friends to the peace and prosperity of our country to know that at the late election in Philadelphia, and in the state generally, good men were elected who are friends to the federal government, and true republicans.
"I do not feel apprehensive of danger from the evil designs of those who aim to deceive the people by their great but false professions of patriotism, for I think the revilers of our federal rulers now appear so much like the vile Jacobins in France, who have caused so much misery in that country—that our citizens view them as dangerous; this being the case, our good rulers will receive the firmest support of the people. The abusive and scandalous publications designed to injure the President, and many other patriots, whose eminent services are so well known to the people, will serve to strengthen the government and to increase the public abhorrence of such unprincipled men, whose only aim is to serve themselves.
"You will be convinced when Fauchet's letter shall be made public (if what we can learn about it is true) that its falling into the hands of our government is a circumstance that forms one of the brightest links in that chain of Providential interferences, to which the people of the United States are indebted for their existence, as a free, sovereign, independent Republic."

PARIS, September 11.
The Primary Assemblies of Versailles, as well as those of the districts of that department, have accepted the constitution, but rejected the decree of the 5th Fructidor. They are in no hurry to communicate this intelligence to the Convention, (though it ought to have been made known some time ago) on account of the proximity of the place.
All the walls of the houses have, for some days past, been covered with bills of different colours, white, red, and yellow. Here sticks an appeal to the patriots of 1789, which no patriot of 1795 will give himself the trouble to read; there, advice to the republican troops, which the republican troops will be sure not to follow, unless they wish to pass for Fanatics or Scurrils. In another place, the committee of public safety flatters hungry folks with the hopes of a speedy meal; and further on, the departmental administration kindly invites the Sovereign to repair to the Primary Assemblies, to sign the Minute of his approaching regeneration.
The following curious passage is extracted from a pamphlet lately published at Paris, entitled, — A rapid sketch to fix the opinion of the people to the Primary Assemblies:
"The Orleans faction, led by the metaphysician Syeyes, and the Chancellor Latouche, who is now at Paris, again rears its head: It is supported by a numerous party, composed of certain members of the Convention, and of all those who have purchased national estates, who expect to find a protector in the head of the house of Orleans, having thro' his father, dipped his hands in the blood of Louis 16th, would necessarily suffer all those crimes to which he would be indebted for the throne, to pass unpunished."
September 13.
The sections of this city continue to display the same energy in opposing the decree of the 5th Fructidor, for the re-election of two thirds of the Convention.
Paris is now a great constituted authority, before which even the Convention seems occasionally to humble itself. It must be confessed it is with great regret that it acustoms itself sometimes to drink the bitter cup of truth. Whatever its repugnance may be, the sections appear to be inexorable; a great majority persevere in declaring strenuously against the decree of re-election. This obstinacy is founded on considerations by no means flattering to the deputies.
Several of the Primary Assemblies of this Commune have sent deputies to the camp, who have been received by the troops with open arms. A report was in circulation yesterday morning, that the deputies from the section of Thermes had been
arrested. Fortunately for the peace of the capital and for that of the Convention, the report proved to be false.
"Ever united in sentiment," said the citizens of the arsenal to their armed brethren, "we shall ever pursue the same line of conduct: Are we not children of the same country? We establish laws; you defend them: You repulse our enemies; we deliberate, and repulse our tyrants."
The soldiers answered this address with demonstrations of joy and fraternity; they expressly declared that they would neither use powder nor ball against the Parisians. A great number of the sections have declared themselves permanent, among whom are the sections of Le Pelletier, the Place Vendome, Suburb of the North, the Champs Elysees, &c. &c.
Several of the sections have, this day, appointed commissioners to go and fraternize with the soldiers in the camp near Paris.
Leharpe has been chosen for this purpose by the section of Butte-des-Moulins.
We are assured, that a division of the army has written to the Convention, that it did not mean by its acceptance, to sanction the decree of the 5th Fructidor. It acknowledges, that if the armies, as composed of Frenchmen, are entitled to vote on the contract, according to which they are to live on their return into the bosom of their country, they cannot, as composed of soldiers, take a part in the election of the Legislative Body. We undertake to demonstrate, that this step, if it be true, is conformable to principles, and that the contrary is destructive of all liberty.
[La Republican Française]
Letters from Amiens state, that government has given orders to remove all the deputies confined in the castle of Ham to Paris; and that Abbe Barruel rejected the decree of re-election.
A letter from Nantes, of the 1st inst. That that commune remains in the same dangerous and distressed situation; that the violence of Charlotte, and of the Vendéens and Chouans, is daily increasing; that they have a great number of arms and agents in that commune; and that which in the Western Department has been able to oppose the organization of the forces of revolt, is in the most imminent danger of being subdued by the insurgents.
NEW-YORK, November 17.
Mr. Randolph, ex-Secretary, left Philadelphia the 8th inst. His Defence is said to be in great forwardness. Indeed report says a few copies are already handed about in this city. We do not vouch for the truth of it.—The detected letter of Mr. Fauchet, which criminate him, is in the press, and will probably be tacked on to the defence as an appendix. This is a curious affair—to publish the Defence first and the act of accusation afterwards. (Minerva.)
PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) Nov. 7.
On Saturday last the Circuit Court opened in Exeter, when Judge CUSHING gave an excellent Charge to the Grand Jury; which was answered by them as follows:
SIR,
YOU will permit us unanimously to express the great satisfaction we have felt from the charge you have delivered us at the opening of the Circuit Court. Persuaded that society is necessary for man, that government is necessary for the due regulation of society; and that the government of the United States, which the people have established, is more calculated to produce their happiness, than that of any other country. Persuaded too, that the government has been administered with wisdom and virtue, and that its citizens enjoy an unexampled degree of happiness under it—We will in our situation as Grand Jurors, and private citizens, exert ourselves to maintain it against every attack. If any foes to our peace, and the endeavors of our government to preserve it, exist within this district, we shall be gratified to unite in detecting and bringing them to punishment. If any are so rooted in their discontent as to attempt to subvert the government, because any important acts are undertaken in the highest wisdom and regard to the interests and welfare of our country, and to carry out their views or designs, no exertions of ours will be wanting to defeat them. We mark the prove of all mobs or riotous proceedings, tending to endanger our peace and our situation, to introduce confusion and anarchy, and are happy that this opportunity exists to express our decided sentiments.

16,739 Prizes 33-61 Blanks 50,000 Tickets at 8 dollars 400,000
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entrance on two of the public squares; from these designs, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Royal Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as accruing towards the fund for the University, it being guaranteed to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public when the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the time of suspension indispensable.  February 24, 1795.

Forty Dollars Reward. RAN away from the publisher, living at Mordington Mills, near Fredericks, in Kent county, State of Delaware, on the night of the 27th of June last, a slave negro man named BENN, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, of a yellow complexion, and might pass for a mulatto. The clothes he had on cannot, with exactness, be described, as he made several breaches of honesty, in that way, on his setting out. He is a very great rlover in his dress; has naturally a condemned and surly countenance, also he at times affects a smiling one; his village is thin, with large black whiskers; the whites of his eyes often red: it is not recollected whether he has any particular birth-marks, except on his back, where may be seen (tho' light) the is rs of the stamp, placed by judicial authority, for house-breaking, lock-breaking, stealing, &c. as well before, as since I purchased him. He is possessed of but a small share of reason or sensibility; a great coward, tho' his looks are devilish, and at the same time sneaking. As he took his flight upwards from here, at the commencement of harvest, it is presumed he was persuaded by some of the free negroes in this quarter to make his escape with them—should he not be in Philadelphia, he is probably between here and there. Whoever takes up the said negro Benn, and secures him in any public goal, so that his master may get him again, shall have the above reward; and if bro't home additional charges for reasonable expenses, paid by James Douglass.

Charlotte a tale of truth—by Mrs. Rowson. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this interesting novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.]
EXTRACT from the CRITICAL REVIEW, April 1795, p. 468.
"It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of her friend."
The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."

LOTTERY INTELLIGENCE.
We are informed that the gentleman who drew the $5,000 dollar prize, in the Canal Lottery, was the proprietor of only a single Ticket—This instance of good fortune, shews that it is well to be in Fortune's road; and is the more pleasing, as the owner of the prize is a very worthy, though not a very affluent citizen.
The Scheme of the Canal Lottery is certainly one of the best which has appeared—for, independent of the useful objects to which its proceeds are to be applied, the scheme is so calculated as to continually enhance the value of the Tickets remaining in the wheel; because, while the drawing progresses, the chance of a capital prize growing greater, must increase the value of the undrawn Ticket.
The Prizes drawn to the close of the drawing on last Wednesday Evening, were
  1 of 15,900     2 of 2,000   5 of 1,800   4 of 500   11 of 750   1700 of 12   And there then remained in the wheel   1 of 50,000   1 of 30,000   2 of 10,000   2 of 2,500   6 of 2,000   9 of 1,000   15 of 500   36 of 100   89 of 12   14800 of 
And 5 stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each; by which, and the nature of those 5 stationary prizes, which are to belong to the five last drawn tickets, it will be found, that an undrawn ticket was yesterday morning, worth nearly 11-2 dollars, which, at the beginning, was worth no more than 10 dollars—and so the undrawn tickets must continue to increase in value, as fast as the drawing proceeds. And this circumstance will account for the number of Offices which are opened for the sale of Tickets, as the profits must be daily increasing; and in a few days a Ticket now selling at 11 dollars, will no doubt command 15 dollars, and must continue to get higher as the drawing approximates to the five stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each.
ALL persons indebted
