To be Sold, A VALUABLE Tract of Land, BEING that part of the city of New Brunswick that lies in the county of Som- erset and State of New Jersey. It contains upwards of 600 acres of very valuable land and is bounded on the south by the public road that leads from New York to Phila- delphia for near two miles, on the east by the river Raritan for near a mile, and lays in a triangular form. Building Lots on se- veral streets in this part of the town fell from five to ten dollars and two thirds a foot front, and the extension of Albany Street, which the situation admits of for a least half a mile, will open a new source for very pleasant and commodious situation for dwelling houses. A considerable space along the river is well calculated for build- ing horse-shoes and wharves, and affords a seat for a Grist Mill on the bank of the river, which may be supplied with water from the Mile-Run by a Subterraneous pas- sage already dug, where vessels of 300 bar- rels already may conveniently load and un- load. There are now on the premises a good Farm House and two large Barns, a commodious new Dwelling House two stories high, 42 by 32 feet square, intended and well calculated for a store, with very good cellars under the whole, and a kitchen 30 by 20 feet square, a new wharf of 80 feet length, and a well built store house 10 by 26 feet square and three stories high, and a quarry building stone on the prem- ises. New Brunswick, one of the most flourish- ing places in New Jersey, lying at the head of the navigation of the river Raritan, is the magazine for the reception of the pro- duce of a very extensive and fertile coun- try, and is well situated for vending every kind of imported merchandise for supply- ing the country. The easy transportation from thence to New York by water, its si- tuation on the p. road through the states, and its vicinity to Perth Amboy, one of the best harbors in the states, render it an object worthy the attention of persons who have the means and know how to improve a situation so well calculated for commerce or manufacture. The premises will be shown by John Par- ker or James Cole, at New Brunswick, and the terms and conditions of sale, made known by James Parker, Of Perth Amboy. Jan. 19

Pennsylvania Hospital 1st Month 26th 1795. The managers, being informed, that many of their Fellow-citizens entertain an erroneous opinion, that the tax con- commonly called the Hospital tax, which they have lately paid, is for the use of this house; think it a duty they owe the con- tributors to inform the public, that this institution receives no benefit therefrom, the said tax being laid for the sole purpose of erecting a building to accommodate persons with infectious diseases which is not to be within the limits of Philadelphia. The principal dependance of the contri- butors to the Pennsylvania Hospital is on the legacies and voluntary contributions of their charitable and humane Fellow-Cit- izens, throughout the City and State. Many of these whose minds have been impressed with the necessity there is of supporting this useful and valuable insti- tution, have enabled the managers to maintain the house, at a great expense, upwards of forty years, by the valuable gifts and bequests, they have added at va- rious times to the capital stock. Relying still with a firm confidence on the well known benevolence of the chari- table citizens of Pennsylvania, they com- mend the institution to their further no- tice, and as the funds are far short of being adequate to the heavy expenses of the house, the managers do not expect to for- feit their assistance in vain. Published, by order of board of man- agers. SAMUEL COATES Sec'ty. The managers request that the Printers of the English and German newspapers, will insert the above, to encourage the de- sign of the contributors, in founding and supporting the Pennsylvania Hospital.

From the American Daily Advertiser.
To Mr. BENJAMIN W. MORRIS, and Mr. CHARLES ROBERTSON.
Gentlemen,
IN the exordium of your address to the public, on the subject of American porter, you justly observe, "that the practice of bringing private concerns into public view is (1) in general very exceptionable, but there are (2) cases sometimes arising amongst individuals, which are of eventual importance to the community at large." Do you really think, that the present controversy is of such great importance to the community at large as to interest their attention? And respectable, as you doubtless, are, do you think, as you hope, you will stand excus'd, by your fellow-citizens, for directing their attention to a respectable character, who for years has continued to rise in their esteem, and who, at the present moment is distinguished by an eminent mark of their approbation and confidence? Whatever may be your thoughts, mine are, you will stand condemn'd, and the purity of your intentions suspected, when they are inform'd of the leading circumstances which gave rise to your address, for: part of which I think it my duty to lay before the public.
The copy of the agreement which you have published in your elaborate address, does not exist, because, the objectionable part of it is relinquished, by Mr. Hare, as stated in the second article of a protest published against you,—and this you know,—but this agreement which has been the occasion of this mighty battle, has in very few instances been executed, Mr. Hare never required it to be executed, only when he had reason to suppose the party where giving larger orders than they could vend, in which case he would have sustained a loss, by retrieving the porter for them; and as to the penalty of which you so heavily complain, had Mr. Hare prosecuted; every sensible man must know, it would only have covered the damage he might have sustained. The last season, he did not even request a single individual to sign any agreement, yet he reserved a quantity of porter, in proportion to their respective orders, according to the general plan he had adopted, and he on his part as rigidly honourably adhered to it, as if the agreement had been signed; but I know many of the bottlers in violation of their verbal agreements, did mix the porter bought of him, with other porter.
You are candid enough to admit "that every manufacturer has a right to prescribe rules for conducting his own business," if you admit this, with what propriety do you presume to prescribe rules to Mr. Hare?—You do it; have you not signed yourselves, and prevailed on many others, to sign a paper, which binds them, by the test of honour, not to engage a specific quantity of Porter with any brewer, who bottles himself?—If you have done this, as you know you have, you have ATTEMPTED TO PRESCRIBE RULES to the manufacturer.
You say "it is not reasonable we should be confined to one man's porter, and though it may be just merchantable and within the letter of our articles, yet it may be greatly inferior in flavor and quality to the porter in other vaults." This passage will call in question the disinterestedness of your intentions.
(3) The public will "Hate the man who builds his name, On ruin of another's fame." I believe there has never been any Brewer in America, who has been exclusively engaged in brewing Porter, excepting Mr. Robert Hare.—Mr. Pope has observed
"One science only will one genius fit, So vast is Art, so narrow human wit." If this be just, the probability then is, that as Mr. Hare brews only Porter, to which he was regularly brought up, and which has engrossed his whole attention for many years, the porter in his vaults will be superior, rather than inferior to the porter in the vaults of other brewers, whose attentions are divided between the brewing of porter and beer. This fact is now to be tried before the tribunal of the public.
The latter part of your address, informs us what you are told, and what you will not be displeased with and that you will cheerfully return to deal with Mr. Hare, whenever he shall be disposed to open his vaults to you; I have reason to believe gentlemen, you have not applied to him to open his vaults to you, but perhaps, you have been told he will not, it would be more candid in you to assert, than to insinuate. Pardon me gentlemen, in this address to you, I only acquit myself of a promise I made you, and it will be your own faults if the public is any further pef-
tered with an alteration between individuals.
W. HENSHAW. Philadelphia, Feb. 7, 1795.
(1) is for are. (2) Mark the emphasis. (3) Mr. Morris's brother has this season commenced the Brewing of Porter, on a more extensive plan than he has been used - it may be presumed in consequence of the present alteration.

For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. FENNO,
A settled course of manners long established in a country, so as to become in the best company, a test of decency and good breeding, is a great security for good conduct in Society. A stranger in travelling through the United States, if he is their friend, will feel some occasion to regret that they have less of this advantage to secure their good conduct than most other countries in the same state of civilization. They are yet in their revolutionary state on that subject. Every reputable stranger of a good share of wealth and address, introduces a little revolution in the manners of the society where he establishes himself. They who are not fond of being often in a revolutionary state, would do well to enquire in the first instance, whether he is a man of a family; if he is not, there may be some reason to fear, that, like some politicians, he is for introducing the revolutionary state, to get rid of some established order, which opposes the indulgence of his own licentiousness. This enquiry will be more interesting to those who have families, in whose prosperity they feel their pride and their happiness deeply concerned. Licentiousness of conversation always accompanies, and very commonly introduces licentiousness of conduct. Let a child, particularly let a daughter be brought up in a family, or in a small society, where much licentiousness of conversation is indulged, and her mind will not long have very strong sentiments of virtue or modesty: What a wife—what a mother must she be, who has very feeble, or no sentiments of virtue or modesty! This reflection is frequently important to ladies and their friends;—there is no danger of their carrying it to an extreme, it is impossible. An affectation of virtue and modesty, where it does not exist, may be disgusting, the reality never is. They who cultivate them to the most refined perfection, find every step of the progress, attended with increasing respect and success. A lady never disregards them for a moment; even in her most intimate society, without real injury to herself. They are the ornament of all her other good qualities, and are the diamond of her embellishments; good sense, wit, beauty, good humor, without these lose half their lustre.
Any person who is impressed with the justice of these observations, and whose pride leads them to suppose that they have any influence at all over others, would do well at once, to establish it as a maxim for themselves, that they will always pay respect to the subject of these observations, in their own families, and in the societies which they most frequent, and that they will, as far as possible, frown out of countenance, all intruders who dare attempt to disgrace them; this is the only way of legislating on the manners of society.
SOPHRONIA
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, February 6.
At a large and respectable meeting of the Tammany Society or Columbian Order, held in Tammany Hall on Monday Evening the 2d February 1795.
The following Resolution and Preamble were regularly moved, and after due consideration were adopted:
WHEREAS in consequence of a Resolution of the Tammany Society, passed at their meeting on the 19th Jan. last, there has been published a Political Address to the Citizens of the United States signed by the Grand Sachem and countersigned by the Secretary.
And whereas this Society acknowledges neither political principles for its establishment, nor political objects for its pursuit, but is founded on the broad basis of natural rights, and is solely designed to "Connect American Brethren in the indissoluble bonds of Patriotic Friendship."
And whereas, if it be not strictly against the Tammany Constitution, it at least militates against the spirit and tenor of that Constitution for this society to intermeddle in political questions either by their actions, or the publication of their sentiments as a society, and tends directly to defeat its object, by interrupting Harmony, and destroying Friendship.
And whereas the meeting before mentioned, considering the importance of its object was very thinly attended,
(owing to the total neglect of any public notification respecting the business depending,) and still notwithstanding the objections of a respectable minority order'd the address to be immediately published, without waiting for the decision of a full meeting, which might easily have been called.
And whereas the authors of the address among many other objectionable things decidedly approved of the Denunciation of the President of the United States against self created societies,—thereby not only condemning this society, and routing against it the resentment of all other self created societies; But also becoming a party against the House of Representatives in Congress, the best friends and firmest supporters of the rights of the People.
And whereas the address in question conceived in a hurry so mysterious, and uttered in the world with a precipitation so unprecedented, cannot in reason, and does not in fact express the candid opinion and deliberate sentiments of this Society, and is therefore condemn'd as officious, inconsiderate, impolitic and unconstitutional.
Be it therefore Resolved, as the sense of this Society, that the Address to the People of the United States, under the name of the Tammany Society, published on Wednesday the 21st January 1795, does not express the candid opinion and deliberate sentiments of the Columbian Order.
On motion ordered, That the preceding Resolution and Preamble, adopted by the Society at two successive meetings, (viz. on the 26th January last, and also at the present meeting) be signed by the President, Sachem and Secretary for the Evening and published, and that the Printers who published the late Address be requested to insert the same in their Papers.
By order of the Society. COERTLAND VAN BEUREN, Grand Sachem, pro. tem.
Attest, JOHN S. SEARS, Secretary pro. tem.
•Public Constitution.
The Printers throughout the United States who have published the late address are requested to give the above a place in their papers.
YORK, [Penn.] February 4.
Mr. EDDIE,
Democratic and similar societies for the purpose of watching a government like ours, when I first heard of them, reminded me of the celebrated miler who weigh'd his money before a looking glass, (a man who meant to write elegantly would have said mirror) that he might the more readily detect himself in an involuntary habit he had of stealing from his own bank. This queer method of watching really looks too much like watching ourselves. While the People, (as at present) continue to weigh out to themselves the Treasures of Government, I, as one of them, shall not be very apprehensive of felonies upon the Bank of National Liberty, or (what is a much better Bank in my opinion) the Bank of National Felicity. After what has lately passed in this Country, it was hoped that at least silence on the part of these societies, as a proof of repentance, would have been offered to an injured public, and as a small atonement for the 1200,000 Dollar Bill of Tom the Tinker, (that expensive fellow).
But in place of this, by their silence during the late expedition, and their late croaking, they have imitated the musicians of the Pen. Mnn is the word while danger approaches—a moment's illness—the master knocks his pitch pipe of discord and the notes of the Piccadilly School are prolonged upon the ear until the very sparon begin to tune their little mouths to matters—Witness the pitch pipe notes of Bobby Mickle & Co. and the dying reverberations of the Washington Society. You will perceive, Mr. Eddie, by the plainness of my style, that I write to the comprehension of even the lowest grade of these inordinate law givers—But
in truth I have another reason for steering clear of the sublime—I wish to write below the notice of that Snag Dragon, Bache; for, as your papers some times get to the city, if my language should rise as high as his view, he would certainly fall foul of me, and, as I am told he is a pithless man, he would play H L with my Misler and looking glass, howlings, croaking, &c. Why, for a little bit of innocent poetry, which I sent you yesterday, he threatened me with a Poet Laureateship—I have taken care, however, to write this in prose, but even then the man may make, for aught I know, a Democrat, or even a Corresponding Member of mine. I have, some how or other, an unaccountable dread of a man with three names. I early in life fainted at
the recital of a Polish title, (good age I am no Author) and I tell you conviction sits at reading the titles of the Spanish Ambassador, who signed the treaty of peace, being seventy-two in number, and taking up sixteen lines. Some late things I have seen in this way have agitated me; as an instance, when I saw M. A. P. S. my fears which had overpowered me, made me out Member of the American Philosophical Society, until a friend of mine convinced me that it was only annexed to the names of such persons as Mr. Howell had employed to sell his Mss; this revived me, in some measure, but my fears prevented me from giving Mr. Bache the pitch-pipe, with a suitable device among the musicians of the Poet. I started at B. F. B. particularly at F. which I had heard flood for the filing of a diamond of the first water, found in New-England. The wag, my friend, cried shame; nobody who knows it from a Bull's foot, will be afraid of it. All would not do. He then advised me, if I was under any apprehensions from the printer, to dedicate my piece to Citizen Genet; but I abhor inuendo a political corpse, as much as I do a natural one, so I have determined to abandon my conceit about the pitch pipe, though I thought it a middling good one. To return, are we never to be done with Dowie Redlick's abjurations, with Democratic vindications—it sets not; for the other day, at Lancaster, a scintillation of the Coal-Heads appeared, with a Constitution forsooth. "To laugh, is want of goodness and of grace;" "And to be grave, exceeds all power of face."
The paper in which their Constitution appeared, was much blotted, so that I could not clearly make out the names, but two of them struck me with surprise; as President, I saw one High one Miers, as Treasurer. I have not been at Lancaster for some time, but recollected two unfortunate Jews there, who are ideots, whose names were Moe and Miers; I concluded, that in the age of illumination they had not only became enlightened themselves, but capable of throwing light on the subject of government. I was the more convinced of their being officers in that society, by hearing that a principal part of their debates, in framing their Constitution, arose upon the clause which fixes the time of meeting for the first Saturday in each month; for I heard that this point was lengthily debated between the Christians and the Jews. The Jews alleged, that as Saturday was their Sabbath, this was invidious, urged to exclude them from the society, with which they wished most cordially to co-fraternize. The Christians said, that altho' this was a cause which was broad enough to admit all religion, and even irreligion itself, yet it behoved the society to calculate duly upon an increase of numbers; and, although Sunday would exclude a few Israelites, yet as Saturday afternoon was considered (all the world over, was their expression) as a holiday, it would be the most convenient day for Journeymen and Apprentices, from whom, as an inducement (a modern word, much liked I'm told) they had most to hope. Upon this argument, the Christians, being the majority, succeeded, and Saturday was fixed for the Political Sabbath of the society. As, perhaps, I may say much more fully in my comment on this society, I will not touch on their Prologue, their Farce, (I mean their Constitution) or their Epilogue, but letting down the curtain as to what I would, upon principle, call Congress, I leave the Society, and if that society, and our Executive Officers, to be beset with Dissertors and Reviewers, in the shape of societies, and bring forward a plan much more effective, under which we may all find employment as Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers, Corresponding Committee Men, &c. My plan is entitled, A plan to subject every body, corporate or not, to a daily nightly watch.
For example: Let there be societies in each State; a great number take care that government don't send us all to Botany Bay; some to see that the Population Society don't increase too warmly, the doctrine of reproduction, so burthensome to the poorer class. A few to watch, lest the Philosophical Societies should turn the moon into cheese; plenty of them chiefly concerned with Virginians to overlook the Abolition Society, &c. But this is hint enough at present; in the mean time, don't let my pieces get into Mr. Kennedy's whatever else you may do, for I will then most assuredly mail me. You may even hint, to any Printer, you may send it too, that I could have written it better, but from the continual error of B. F. B. TALLICH

CONTINUATION OF THE Late Foreign Advices NATIONAL CONVENTION, 6 Frimaire, Nov. 26.
A member of the committee of public safety proposed a series of articles for the relief of the widows and orphans of the defenders of their country. Cambon—"I ask if the Convention means that the sum they voted should be paid? Notwithstanding the order that reigns in the finance, some of our colleagues, who make almost public professions of royalism, have dared to say that we ought to resort to the system of Louis XIV. that when that tyrant was maintaining a war against the combined powers, he expended only about 240 millions a year, while our expenses for the present year amount to 2000 millions. They would thus make the people believe that the Convention embezzles the public money. I know that they are aiming at a new 31st of May; I know not that Dufourny, the author of the 2d of September; Dufourny, who is always with the accused deputation from Paris which I have denounced, and which is threatening itself, sees only a new 31st of May. I know that bills of proscriptions are already formed, in which the names of several members of the Convention are included. You are pleased to countenance certain motions by your applause. That is not enough; if I am guilty, let my head fall; but you must not tolerate insinuated suspicions against those who have served their country."
A member observed that this fall of Cambon's had nothing to do with the decrees proposed. There could be no doubt that the treasury must pay as often as the Convention ordered it to do so.—The decrees were then passed.
On a report from the committee of general safety, a decree was passed for releasing the eleven administrators of the district of Sedan imprisoned in August, 1792, for obeying the orders of La Fayette.  Joubert in the name of the committee of public safety proposed the following decree which was adopted:   1. All the corn and merchandise of the first necessity imported from abroad, shall be at the free disposition of the proprietors, and subject to no requisition.  II. On the arrival of such corn and merchandise, in the ports of France, or in the communes to which they are destined, when this arrival is by the land frontier, notice shall be given to the municipality of their quantity and quality.  III. A certified copy of this notice shall be given by the municipality to the person who gives the notice. 
7 Frimaire, Nov. 27. Cambon in the name of the committee of finance, made a report, in which he detailed the frauds committed in the assessment, the collection and the administration of the revolutionary taxes. He concluded with proposing a decree for calling to a rigorous account all persons concerned or employed in assessing or collecting such taxes.—Ordered to be printed.
The section of the observatory congratulated the convention on the shutting up of the Jacobin club, and prayed for speedy punishment on the revolutionary committee of that section, the members of which had adhered to Robespierre when in actual rebellion.—Referred to the committee of general safety.
A petition from the citizens of Antwerp detained as hostages, and praying to be released, was referred to the same committee.  On a report from the committee of commerce, a decree was passed for encouraging a manufacture of fine muslin established by citizen Barneville and allowing him an advance of 2000 livres.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, January, 30.
The house went upon the report of the select committee on the petition of Thomas Patten and others. They agreed to the report.  The following resolution was then moved:  Resolved, That such persons as have entered and agreeable to the laws of North Carolina in the territory ceded by that state to the United States, and on the Indian side of the line established by the treaty of Holston, ought to be reimbursed by the United States, the amount of the purchase-money actually paid for the same, and the necessary expense of locating and surveying, where the survey has been made; such persons first relinquishing their right thereto to the United States.
The yeas and nays were called for on this resolution.  Mr. Dayton would cheerfully vote, that the people who were sufferers should be reimbursed, by the state of North Carolina; not by the United States. The resolution was negatived by a great majority.
Mr. W. Smith called up a question which he had laid on the table yesterday, when the house was rising. The substance of it was to solicit the interference of the executive to get the Indian right extinguished.
Mr. Swift thought that the house were bound in justice to do something for the sufferers. The resolution was unanimously referred to a Committee of claims.  The rest of this day was taken up with the report of a select Committee on the petition of Gilbert Demch, praying relief for some depreciated certificates. On this matter, the house went into a Committee of the whole.
A great number of papers were read relative to this business, which was succeeded by a long debate, in which it was repeatedly observed, that gentlemen wandered entirely from the subject before the Committee. In speaking of the frauds committed in the management of the late war, Mr. Gillespie said that 600 dollars had been charged for two cart wheels.—Mr. Wadsworth said, that he could have furnished a horse for that cart. The story was pretty well known and referred to Virginia. He had a partiality for his native state (Connecticut) but he could never see that in this way, any one-state was more virtuous than another.
The Committee refused the prayer of the petition, and their report was agreed to by the house.  The Speaker informed the members that he had just received important and confidential communications. The galleries were accordingly cleared at half past two o'clock.
TUESDAY, 3d February. The House went into a committee of the whole on the military establishment of the United States, Mr. Gooch in the chair.
The resolution proposed by Mr. Dayton was taken up, and Mr. Giles proposed, as an amendment, to strike out the word "three" from the resolution, which would then read "years." Mr. Giles introduced his amendment with some remarks delivered in rather a low tone of voice.
Mr. Smith had often been surprised at the way in which the constitution was introduced into every subject. He never felt that surprise more sensibly than he did now. The member who had spoke last had discovered that the raising of any army for the term of three years was disagreeable to the constitution. He could not comprehend what Mr. Giles would be at. He was against a standing army.—He was against a militia. Mr. Smith asked if we are never to learn wisdom in military matters? When General Howe, with thirty thousand men, landed at Long Island, the Americans raised a body of flying camp men, who were to serve only for six months. The consequence was that a great number of valuable citizens were just long enough in the service to be disgusted with it, but not long enough to learn the military exercise, or military feelings. This short enlistment had a very bad effect. The same practice had been continued since that time, and had always produced mischief. Can there be any bad consequences of enlisting these men for three years? Whenever a gentleman is at a loss for an argument, the constitution is brought forward. The result would be, than when it was useful to do so, the reference will be laughed at. There had been six months men in the army of St. Clair, whose time was out, and who had left him just before the defeat. Men had been enlisted on so short a date, that their term was expired before they could be marched to the camp.
Mr. Giles. The remarks of the gentleman last up, are of so extraordinary a nature as to demand a reply. Mr. Giles had not pointed out any obligation on the House by the constitution to reject the term of three years. He never had been against a militia. (Mr. S. Smith here said that the gentleman had said that he was against any military force.) Mr. Giles denied the accuracy of his several quotations. He was a friend to a militia. He cleaved to a militia. How it came to be imagined that he would be against it, he was at a loss to conceive. There was a privilege in that House which Mr. Giles would never give up to any man, and that was the privilege of speaking his opinion. He thought two years a long enough term.—He should vote for it. If the men were wanted after that for a longer term, they could then be continued.
Mr. S. Smith said that if the gentleman had not been referring to the constitution, why was it taken into his speech? The words of Mr. Giles that Mr. S. Smith quoted, he had taken down while that gentleman was speaking.—"It is very well known that I have always been against the use of any military force." He had considered them as extraordinary at this time, and was glad to hear the gentleman correct them.  Mr. Hartley was for the longest term. It was a hard thing to call out the militia from their work. The supporting of the army would be the shortest way to finish the war.  The amendment was negatived by the committee.  The question on the resolution itself was next called for.
Mr. Findley. It was with some reluctance that he rose on this question. He knew that on former occasions his support to the measures for encensing and continuing the western army was supposed to have been influenced by the situation of the western counties of Pennsylvania. He hoped that when it was considered that the head-quarters of the army was near 600 miles below Pittsburgh, and that this was the nearest post, and when it was also considered, that the Indians of the Sandusky, who harassed the frontiers of Pennsylvania and Virginia, had not been made an object of offensive operations, he hoped it would be believed that he was not influenced in his opinion on this question by his local situation. He went into a retro-spect. The first offensive operation (General Harmar's expedition) was evidently undertaken without a competent knowledge of the strength and temper of the Indians, or of the influence by which they were supported; consequently it encensed the war. The expedition of General St. Clair was also provided for on the same mistaken policy: it was likewise unfortunate, and the Indians became more formidable by greater combinations. These inadequate provisions for the Indian war cost much money, and protracted the war. These losses can be reimbursed, but the abundant loss of blood cannot be recovered or compensated; and these losses are justly chargeable to the want of competent force and short enlistments. When the present army was directed to be organized, the number of troops as prescribed by the law, and the time of service were competent, but the encouragement was inadequate.
Mr. Findley saw the consequences of this defect at the time, and endeavoured to have the wages raised, but though the House of Representatives had voted to encense the encouragement to the army at different times, it failed in the Senate. The consequence was, that the number prescribed by law was never completed. But though we had no more troops than the gentlemen have mentioned, that circumstance does not prove that the force was adequate. The reverse is rendered evident by undeniable facts. It is a fact that the defence of the frontiers could not be combined with offensive operations as was originally intended; nor was the army fit to carry on the limited operations without a very expensive aid of the militia. This aid was not only necessary to assist in the most advanced and important operations, but even to guard the escorts of provisions. The attack made upon Major Adair with mounted volunteers, which was attended with the loss of lives, and of horses and stores, cannot be forgot. The attack of the escort with wagons and stores on the road, and the loss of several brave officers and privates, and also the more formidable attack upon an advanced post, when, though the post was supported, the cattle and stores were taken to a great amount and the lives of many of our citizens lost, were all chargeable to the more chargeable to the smallness of our force. But it is said that our future prospects have changed the situation of our affairs so much as to render a smaller force competent to the object. What is this change? Gen. Wayne has gained one victory, but is this a conquest? or has it obtained peace? No. It is far otherwise. The Indians do not sue for peace, notwithstanding all our pacific endeavours to induce them to it, and emmissaries, rendered active by their personal prejudices against us, even if they had no superior inducement, are as active in irritating the Indians as ever. The prospect of a treaty seemed to be considered as an essential change of situation; but supposing the reports of this to be well founded, it certainly was not yet confirmed on our part. We did not even know the terms, but from what appeared, the relinquishment of the posts was to be suspended for a considerable time & for the accomplishment of this we had only a promise in the treaty, and we had this before; however, he hoped it is a desirable object would be accomplished, but he could not extend his hopes beyond his confidence, and he acknowledged that his confidence was not perfect, but did not choose to explain his reasons: he thought it was not necessary. Pretences we knew could easily be found to evade the fulfilment of a treaty. He said that many arguments might be adduced to prove the propriety of completing the army, which it was not convenient to explain. Certainly it will not be pretended that the south western territory, or even Georgia, do not stand in need of more efficient assistance, or that these states would not have been better protected if the army had been completed. He apprehended that the conduct and temper of the southern Indians did not justify us in lessening our force. He hoped
that further offensive operations against the western Indians might not be necessary, but he thought that depended on possessing a sufficient force either for the defence of the posts, or offensive operations as occasion might require.

The late SECRETARY of the TREASURY.
IF he is a Patriot who makes a blade of grain grow, where none grew before: The appellation is surely merited by the man who unfolds the latent resources of a nation, and turns them to the best account—whose plans & their progressive success, clear the political Horizon of his Country, till the full splendor of public prosperity illuminates the countenances of a happy people!
"Nations bear record, when he took the shattered credit of the United States in hand, and scanned the wide confusion—he laid the ruins before him, fit objects for his mighty mind—he arranged them, he restored them, he cemented them;" and "order sprang out of confusion." He surveyed his work: Truth and public confidence, its foundation; honor, justice, and faith, its impassable barriers; faction and discord retire in despair; peace, freedom, and order, are "the order of the day"—Retiring from public life, say, Does he not deserve well of his Country?
From a Correspondent.
The advocates of clubs, that is to say the members of the clubs, for they have no other advocates, pretend to be engaged to collect and spread truth and information. Yet if they assert lies of the government, and are convicted of it, they cry out against the witnesses that confound them as aristocrats, enemies of liberty, &c. Further, they defend their institutions on certain specious & hollow grounds—Germanic coolly and regularly attacks their strong holds, and turns them out.—Then they exclaim in their ordinary strain of abuse. These are facts and the commentary upon them is short. They deal in falsehood, and labor to spread misinformation. They shrink from fair discussion, because they cannot bear the light.
But if some men reject all speculative arguments and place their trust in experience alone, let them look at France and see what clubs have done there, and what the people in self-defence have been forced to do with them. There the question of clubs, happily for France, is a settled one.
Admitting that plots and conspiracies will be formed against a republican government, what will be the instrument for plotters to work with? Answer, Fashion. It is as good as an army, and will enlist to serve, no luck no wages, which soldiers will not do. It can take smooth plausible names which an army cannot. It uses invisible or more properly poisoned weapons forbidden to regular troops by the laws of honour as well as of war. In a word, the attack on liberty must from the nature of things be made thro' the help of some popular and artful faction! Those are much deceived who make it a rule to lean towards the declaimers against government, as if their power was in every event harmless. The false friends of liberty are more to be dreaded than open enemies.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 7. Copy of a letter from his Excellency General Williamson, Governor and Commander in Chief of St. Domingo. King's House, Jamaica, Nov. 30, 1794.
"SIR, His Majesty having been graciously pleased to appoint me Governor and Commander in Chief of St. Domingo, I think it expedient to make no more appointments, civil or military, until my arrival there; you will therefore please to preserve all such petitions and applications as are delivered to you for my consideration, until my arrival in St. Domingo. For the present I shall do no more than provide for the military service, and the relief of such as are in distress. "I will do every thing in my power to such as continue their exertion towards suppressing the spirit of anarchy
which rages in St. Domingo, and restoring good order and tranquility there; but this is to be done in St. Domingo only.
I have the honour to be Your most obedient servant, ADAM WILLIAMSON. The Marquis de Cadusch, Agent for the affairs of St. Domingo.

For the Gazette of the United States. A CAUTION TO OUR PARTY.
ALTHO' zeal, in a good cause, is ever to be recommended; and altho' it has been a pre-determination, of long standing, to abuse every thing done by Mr. Jay, would it not be advisable to reserve part of our fire, till we know, in reality, whether a Treaty is concluded or not? At present there is a rumor only of the fact, which if not founded, the two late discharges in the Aurora may prove to be a mere wale of ammunition, and excite only the derision of our enemies.
A TRUE JACOBIN. LONDON, December 15.
The mail due this morning has not yet arrived. That due on Friday came to hand early yesterday morning: Mr. Mason arrived at the same time with dispatches from the army, and Mr. Fabriani from Brunswick, with an account of the marriage by proxy, of his royal highness the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Caroline of Brunswick, which took place on the 3d inst.
Lord Malmesbury was the representative of the Prince on this occasion. At noon on that day, his lordship made his grand entrée at the court of Brunswick. He was conducted thither in a very superb state coach, drawn by six white horses; eight servants in splendid liveries preceding it.
Lord Malmesbury was first introduced to the Duke of Brunswick; then to the Duchess, and afterwards to the Princess, who was publicly betrothed to the Prince of Wales. In the evening there was a grand gala, when her royal highness received the compliments of the nobility on the occasion. An hour previous to the above ceremony, major Hessel arrived at Brunswick, with a portrait of the Prince of Wales, which Lord Malmesbury presented to the Princess. The Princess will not set out from Brunswick till commodore Payne's squadron shall have reached Stad. Extract of a letter, dated Paris, 15 Oct. 1794.

Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]  Extracts from the Critical Reviews, 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, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- titled from her goodness, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage is consummated, but the husband is a monster, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the in- fidelity of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and af- fected—the descriptions natural, and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for an error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.”

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE The authors have presumed to give to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find it not only every circumstantial represented, but every conjectural action, whenever it was the authors of actions, mark- ed in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are not easy to nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lishmen, and excrete every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of being this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the credules of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation will fail to receive.

There is on the above tract of Land a dwelling house thirty by twenty, with three rooms on the first floor, and two above, with five places, a kitchen with a brick chimney, stables, corn house, meat house, and other out-hou- ses; also a good framed store house by twenty- four, and a granary, both perfectly new, and agreeably situated on the Creek, com- manding a fine view of the river Potomac, and one of the best fisheries either on the ri- ver or creek. This creek is navigable for vessels of several tons, and abounds with wild fowl of every kind, particularly ducks. The land is fertile and well adapted to the culture of corn, rye, and tobacco. There is also on it a quantity of timber of superior quality, either for ship or house building, & contiguous to the water, from whence it could be rafted to Alexandria, or to the City of Washington, and is not more than fifty miles distant from either place. The growth is chiefly red and white oak, locust, walnut, hickory, cedar and poplars of an extraordi- nary size. There are also a couple of small meadows now in timothy, and several other fields, which may be put in at a small expense. The banks consist chiefly of shell- marl of the best quality, which affords a val- uable and inexhaustible fund of manure.
Likewise another valuable Tract, lying in Potomac river in King George county near- ly opposite to Port Tobacco in Maryland, containing about four hundred acres; one hundred of it is heavily timbered with white oak proper for house or ship building; about fifty acres of marsh, and the whole of the land perfectly level, and well adapted to farming, being of a stiff quality, and excel- lent for holding manure. It bounds on the ri- ver about three quarters of a mile, has a most admirable herring and rock fishery, and for wild fowl is perhaps equal to any on the Continent.
It is well situated for a Ferry, being at a narrow part of the river, and is not more than three or five miles from the City of Wash- ington by land.
We will likewise sell a valuable Tract of Land, lying partly in King George and part- ly in Stafford county, containing five hun- dred acres; this tract is about one mile from Potomac Creek, it is well timbered and watered, the soil is of an excellent quality.
For a further account apply to Mr. Charles Stuart Waugh, at Dr. Benjamin Duffield's fourth Front street, No. 303, or to the Sub- scribers, living on the premises, King George county, Virginia.

Inland Navigation. In the Press and speedily will be published by  Zachariah Poulson, jun. No. 80, Chesnut Street,
AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE Rise, progress, and present state OF THE Canal Navigation in Penn- sylvania.
With an Appendix, containing Abstract of the Acts of the Legislature since the year 1792, and their Grants of Money for im- proving Roads and Navigable Waters throughout the state—which is an- nexed.
“An Explanatory Map.”
Published by Direction of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill and Susque- hanna, and the Delaware and Schuylkill Navigation Companies.
“Here smooth CANALS, across th' extend- ed plain
Stretch their long arms to join the distant main.”
The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke Scoop the hard bottom of the solid rock; Refrile's through the it's opposing clay, With the dy patience, work their gradual way.”
Compel the Genius of th' unwilling flood Through the brown horrors of the aged wood;
Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour,
And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor.
“The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees
The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees;
And views the alter'd landscape with sur- prise
And doubts the magic scenes that round him lie.”
Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their waving wings, the flying vessels spread Now meeting streams, in artful maze, guide While each, unmingle'd, pours a separate tide.”
Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves be- low.
The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!
