Philadelphia, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1796. THE Officers of the militia of the city and liberties of Philadelphia are requested to meet at the Statehouse on Monday next, the 4th July, at 11 o'clock precisely, to proceed from thence to pay their compliments to the President of the United States, and to the Governor of the State, on the anniversary of American Independence. JOSIAH HARMAR, Adjutant General. Philadelphia, June 30th, 1796.
Philadelphia, June 29th, 1796. SIR, Agreeably to your request, we have this day visited the ship Eliza, capt. Biffon, from Kingston, Jamaica; and after a careful examination find the capt. and people on board all in perfect health, nor have we reason to suspect any of the people, or any thing on board, to be affected with contagion. The capt. reports that he sailed from Norfolk for the West-Indies in February last, and left Kingston on the 29th of May, and declares that there was not any sickness on board his vessel, either in his passage out, during his stay in the West-Indies, or on his passage home. On examining the leaky state of the ship, in which capt. Samuel Young, Harbour master of the Port obligingly assisted, we found that, while lying at the wharf, she made eighteen inches water every half hour—From which consideration, and other appearances, we with capt. Young, were of opinion, that the leaky state of the vessel required every proper and consistent dispatch, for the preservation of the cargo, which is principally sugar and coffee. We are, Sir, Your very obedient humble servants, SAMUEL DUFFIELD, Consulting Physician, WILLIAM ALLEN, Health Officer of the Port of Philadelphia. Governor MIFFLIN.
CLEANINGS From late Hamburg papers. Translated for the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
PARIS, April 10. In the sitting of the 4th the Council of 500 continued the discussion respecting the relations of emigrants: when, after considerable debate, the following decree, on motion of Audouin, was passed: "The fathers and mothers of emigrants, whose property is under sequestration, are to be exonerated from the sequestration, if they will consent to an equal division with the Representatives. With such as do not choose to divide, the sequestration is to remain in force, and to take place again, where it was taken off."
L'INSTITUT NATIONALE. Last Monday in the afternoon, The National Institution celebrated its first sitting, at the Louvre, in the saloon of antiquities, which was prepared for the occasion, and decorated with the busts of the great men of the century last past. The five members of the Directory joined at 4 o'clock, attended by all the ministers and ambassadors. The saloon was crowded with amateurs of both sexes, the members of the institution observing no distinction of rank. The sitting being opened, citizen LETOURNEUR , President of the Directory, delivered a speech, replete with knowledge and ingenuity, and breathing principles of comfort for the arts and sciences. Several members then read treatises. FOURCROY read a treatise on the late invention of Gunpowder, of which essays were made at Etienne, that almost deprived the great chemist, LAVOISIER , of his life. He avoided mentioning his name, and that transaction in general, yet the subject necessarily called to mind the name of the renowned chemist, who demanded only 14 days respite of Robespierre's bloody tribunal, in order to accomplish that invention, of so great moment for his country. LACÉPÈDE read an eulogy on the mechanic, VAN DERMONDE , lately deceased. FRONT stated the result of the Census in France; by which the population of France in the old departments, appears to amount to 25,000,000 inhabitants. The surface of the territory, to contain, by survey, 37,000 square miles, allowing 25 miles for one degree. By this calculation there are 2 1/2 acres arable land, to 4 acres, taking the whole of the ground. LEDBRON read a historical panegyric on the late abbé RATNAL . Bishop GREGOIRE read a homily, full of enthusiasm, on the reciprocal relations of liberty and the arts.
The sitting was terminated by very interesting chemical experiments, on the nature of the bi-stus , occasioned by violent action, where citizen Fourcroy proved, that men are masters of the arsenal of thunder; being enabled by their discoveries to blow up the sphere which they inhabit, and to set the world on fire. The sitting lasted four hours, in presence of an immense audience. The Guano, which were posted in every quarter, were the sole objects of sur- prize.
We are happy to hear that a Subscription has been set on foot at New-York, for the relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fire at Charleston—and from the character for benevolence and philanthropy which the citizens of Philadelphia have established for themselves, by their generous and laudable conduct on numerous other occasions, not a doubt can be entertained of the worthy example of our New-York brethren being followed by a respectable subscription here. "Teach me to feel another's woe— To Misery's moaning cries to yield relief."
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated June 29. "Superfine Flour can be purchased here at 9 dollars for cash—and Richmond fine has been off-
ered for 7 1/2. This last is of a bad quality. It is said there are two hundred thousand bushels of wheat unsold on the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. It was yesterday for 15 3/4 per bushel, at 60 days."
The following sweet and tender lines are from the pen of Dr. PERCE, Bishop of Down. The classical taste of this learned Divine is given a grace even to pastoral images, which among a herd of versmen are either disgustingly trite or grossly simple.
O Nancy, wilt thou go with me, Nor figh to leave the humbler town: Can silent glens have charms for thee, The lowly cot and rustic gown? No longer deck'd in silken sheen, No longer deck'd with jewels rare, Say, canst thou quit each courtly scene, Where thou wert fairest of the fair?
O Nancy! when thou'rt far away, Wilt thou not cast a wish behind? Say, canst thou face the parching ray, Nor shrink before the wintry wind? O can that soft and gentle mien Extr me of harshness learn to bear, Nor, sad, regret each courtly scene, Where thou wert fairest of the fair?
O Nancy! canst thou love so true, Through perils keen with me to go, Or when thy fain mishap shall rue, To share with him the pain of woe? Say, should'st thou suffer pain or loss, Wilt thou assume the nurse's care, Nor, wistful, those gay scenes recall Where thou wert fairest of the fair?
A Correspondent says the début of Mr. Fox, who last evening played Montgomery , in The Carmelite, more than justified the partial anticipations of the friends of that young gentleman. He is a valuable acquisition to the Company of the New Theatre; and by the specimen he has given of his abilities, does honor to the taste and judgment of the Managers, in their engagement. Sensibility and animation are essential requisites to form an actor on the line of nature—These Mr. Fox appears to possess; and with the aid of a decent confidence and an enlightened judgment, they may advance their possessor to a degree of celebrity which has not been exceeded on the American Boards. First impressions are important.—Hints are suggested in conversation which may be attended to with advantage. We wave any criticisms. The burst of applause, which real merit excited, will not, we trust, overpower the small voice of friendly remark.
COMMUNICATION. The greatest preparations are made and making in the Union to celebrate the Anniversary of Independence. During the war many who now are enemies of the Constitution and abuse the administration, then abused the authors of the glorious declaration. They then said that our union would prove a "rope of sand," that we should be divided by the bauble of independence on Great Britain, and curse the men who led us to our oafed emancipation from her yoke. Those persons and those who work for them must be very bitter enemies to the United States. They have been prophesying evil concerning us for more than 7 years, and tho' events have proved them to be lying prophets, and heaven has saved us from their machinations, tho' the people have said that they are happy and free, and have gratefully acknowledged the favors of Heaven in carrying them triumphantly through the Revolution and giving them a constitution to preserve the blessings which their swords acquired. Tho' the people throughout the union never varied in their attachment to and veneration of the illustrious men who are at the head of their affairs: Yet we find that same inveterate junto , and the tools they have trained, pursuing their old habits—abusing the revolution, abusing our independence, abusing the men who with halter about their necks, led us through war, to peace, liberty and safety. "Washington (say they) has triumphed over the constitution of his country." America has returned to the perfidious embraces of Britain."
The text of scripture, so aptly applied by the celebrated Dr. MAYHEW, of Boston, in his controversy with the Bishop of London, is pertinent to the present occasion. What, said the Doctor, Will they never cease to persecute us till we arrive "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."

HALLOWELL, (Me.) June 17. We are informed, that an attempt was made last week to take the life of Mr. Samuel Goodwin, of Dresden, by a negro man from Waldoborough—It appears that the negro was sometime since confined in gaol, and put in irons by the said Goodwin; and in order to be revenged where he would murder him: To accomplish which, he loaded a gun with two balls and went to Mr. Goodwin's whom he saw standing at his door, upon which he immediately levelled his pie at Mr. Goodwin's breast and fired; but providentially missed his aim, by Mr. Goodwin's striking the gun at the very instant the fellow fired.—The balls passed between the legs of Mr. Goodwin through an entry into one of his rooms, and no other material damage. The negro was immediately apprehended and committed to Wiscasset gaol. WALPLE (N.H.) June 21. THE SEASON.
During the last month of May, the showers of April continued, and, until within a few days the anxious husbandman dreaded, lest excess of moisture should smother his hopes. But the harvest will yet prove bountiful and plentiful, and clear skies and a warm aperture will cause the green corn to rise luxuriant. Happy farmers! The efforts of your virtuous and Federal representatives having secured to us the sweets of peace, you may now bask secure under the shade of your ancient elms, and gayly behold the yellow sheaves of plenty gathering around you.
By the obliging attention of Jeremiah Smith, Esq. representative of this district, the Editor some time since, received a copy of Mr. Ames' speech, it is regretted that the arrangements of the Museum a such that it was impossible to exhibit in one pamphlet the whole of this masterly harangue. The Editor careful of the symmetry of Mr. Ames' discourse, was averse to publish it broken and disjointed. But if the opinion of a young man can add anything to the high and deserved reputation of him, who, in spite of disease, could "charm the of adder" of opposition, the effort should remain monument of American oratory, and rank with the classical composition of Pitt, Burke, and Grenville. It is the duty of the critics and the man of taste to arrange this speech on a front shelf: It is the duty of the Federalist to pray that worth like Mr. Ames', should not be wasted by horrid heat, but that his life, like his sentences, should be round and complete.
From the Hudson Gazette.
MR. STODDARD, I have read in your last paper, a letter from a gentleman at Paris to his friend in Hudson, and I trust that this precious morsel will engage the attention of all those who value the substance more than the sound of American Independence.
The act of writing a silly or mean spirited letter would excite pity, but the publication of it deserves something worse. It seems the treaty with Great Britain has offended the French republic; and what then? It seems also the name of American is become hated in France on account of this treaty, and our letter writer is panic struck with the apprehension of French resentment against us. This is not the first instance, nor the hundredth, in which we have heard the same pitiful story. The threats of French vengeance have kept peace with the admonitions to American gratitude; gratitude to the French republic for aids afforded us by the French king. Thus between our gratitude for past favors, and threats of impending vengeance, the sovereignty and independence of our country are to be laid prostrate. We hear much of the spirit of seventy six, and we hear most of it from those, who either never possessed it, or who have shamefully apostatized from it. That spirit in its genuine purity, is upon record—it is recorded in the memorable declaration on the fourth of July 1796. What would the illustrious patriots have said, if they could have supposed that the Americans would have become so peregénate as to wish to sacrifice the independence of their own country to "a love-fick fondness" for another, and to intimidate their government from measures advantageous to the public, lest they should give umbrage to a foreign power? Let this noble instrument give the answer to this question "from hence forth, we will consider G. Britain, like all other nations, enemies in war; in peace friends." It was heretofore a practice of French nurses and mothers, instead of hobgoblins to frighten the children with the name of Marlborough, and our warlike patriots seem to think, that they can frighten the American people with the threats of French vengeance. This letter writer however will find, that the people of this country have not so far debased themselves, as to commit their government, to men of such a dastardly spirit. He will find that our government knows how to assert its rights, and he will know, what his Hudson correspondent already knows, that this government has the firm and unequivocal support of the American people.
Whether these two learned correspondents understand this treaty and condemn it from a conviction, that it is a bad one, I submit to the reader; but surely those who pretend to regard the voice of the people, or to respect governments originating from the will of the people, should cease to clamor about the treaty. It has been made, deliberately discussed, and finally ratified by the constituted authorities. It has had to encounter passion and prejudice, and it has surmounted every obstacle and after full and deliberate discussion, it has been approved by the great body of the American people.—Surely now it ought to rest in peace, after such a manifestation of the public will, as has been made by the numerous petitions to Congress, and by the

events of the last election, it would be but decent that individuals should submit, if not to the voice of reason at least to the imperious authority of the people.
The reader who recollects that the treaty with Great Britain was signed so long time ago as the mark the accuracy of this letter writing citizen, when he speaks of it, as lately negotiated. He will wonder not, that the French people, after all the noise this treaty has made, for so long a time, should only have found out in March last, that it was so inious, but there is a key to all this; the French government and people saw nothing wrong in this treaty, until its pernicious effects were pointed out by certain American patriots, certain political opies, who having predicted the vengeance of France, have not ceased to labor, for the accomplishment of their own predictions. This is at present tender ground, and I refer the reader to a letter from an American citizen in Paris, dated the 14th Feb. 1796, and which I request you, Mr. Stodd, to republish. But the letter writer accounts the French forbearance by this remarkable expression, "had the treaty taken place under any other administration but the present one, it would have been dangerous for Americans to be in France. What Mr. Letter Writer, have the French administration, which controls the general will one people? has this administration such coercive power as to be able to keep within bounds what to seem to be a just indignation of the French citizens? Can it be that you are happy under such an administration? If you do not take heed to your conduct, your friends here may draw a useful lesson from that of your letter, and know how to estimate blessings of an energetic government which has rescued from the guillotine many American citizens at Paris, yourself one of them. It is to be hoped that when you return to your own country you will bring with you that spirit of obedience to government, which you have seen displayed by citizens of Paris, notwithstanding their general ed to Americans."
But this letter writer lugs in the word aristocrat , and which indeed is the watch word of the day. He tells us there are aristocrats in Hudson, and this leads us to conclude there are two parties here. The truth is that some years after the establishment of that city and during the mayoralty the late excellent and amiable Jer. Jenkins, parties were unknown at Hudson. All was union and harmony. In the year 1788 the city of Hudson in election of members for the convention, to draft the federal constitution was nearly unanimous. The year 1789 at the election of representatives to Congress, they were perfectly unanimous, of late years we have heard of parties in the city of Hudson. If, as the letter intimates, one of these parties is composed of aristocrats, the question is to whom of them this appellation is due? Now, Mr. Stodd, I have always understood, that one character is, if not the very definition of aristocracy, the attempt of the Few to controul the Many. Ocul capis, ille facit.
An Unfrenchified American. P.S. As the paragraph about citizen Barcey does not seem to have any relation to the treaty, I shall not say anything about it, except that this gallant citizen's proportion of the prize money is an excellent comment upon the doctrine of equality. * See a late No. of this Gazette.
NEWARK, June 29.
Nineteenth Anniversary
At a meeting of the citizens of this town, to receive the report of the committee appointed for the purpose, the following arrangements were adopted, for celebrating the Nineteenth Anniversary of American Independence, on Monday the 4th of July next.
The bells of the town to be rung at day break and sunset—and the flag of the United States to be displayed at the flag staff.
The citizens of all descriptions, and the public teachers with their scholars, together with such of the uniform companies as may incline to parade, are requested to assemble at 10 o'clock in the morning on the common in front of the Episcopal Church. It is recommended, that the citizens arrange themselves by professions or trades, and that each profession or trade be preceded by one person, of each order, elected for the purpose, bearing some emblem of their profession or art—the different professions and trades, to form the procession in alphabetical order, and to proceed to the Presbyterian Church as follows:
 A citizen bearing the Cap of Liberty.  Detachment of Militia.  The Orator of the day and a citizen with the Declaration of Independence.  The public teachers with their scholars.  The civil magistrates and clergy.  The respective professions and trades.  Citizens not associated with the professions and trades.  Detachment of Militia.  The service in Church to be opened by a prayer followed by an hymn.  The Declaration of Independence read.  An Anthem.  The Oration.  An Hymn or Anthem.  The Service to be concluded with Prayer.  After which the procession to return in the same order to the common and there to be dismissed.  As the citizens of this flourishing town, have become too numerous to assemble with any convenience or comfort, to dine in one body, it was judged expedient to leave a public dinner out of the general plan of amusements, on the presumption, that the respective classes of citizens would take their own measures for evincing their gratitude to the beneficent Parent of Nature, for the unparalleled blessings we enjoy, in such manner as to them may appear most eligible. Such as choose to associate in different circles for festive purposes, may interchange congratulatory deputations to diffuse the general joy. Mr. John G. Macwhorter was chosen Orator.
Capt. Jabez Parkhurst of the Declaration of Independence, And Major Samuel Hayes to bear the Cap of Liberty. Major Beach, Col. Camp, and Mr. John Pinedard, were appointed to act as Committee of arrangements. N. B. The series of the Church are to be reserved for the use of the citizens forming the procession.
Medical Society of Connecticut.
At the adjourned Convention of the Medical Society of the State of Connecticut, held at Hartford on the 17th day of May, 1796.
Resolved, That the thanks of this society be given, by the Secretary, to Doctor Felix Pascalis Ouvier, D. D. and M. D. of Philadelphia, for his ingenious answer to the first prize question, on the "chemical properties of the effluvia or contagion of the epidemic that raged in New-York in the autumn of 1795, its operation on the human body, and its difference, from the usual autumnal fevers of this country."
Resolved, That the thanks of this Society be given by their Secretary, to Doctor Samuel E. Lee, of New-London, for his answer to their prize question, "What is the best method for preventing the common suppurating quinsy (Cynche Toxillaris of Dr. Cullen) after the inflammatory State is fully formed, from terminating in maturation and discharge."
Resolved, That the thanks of the Society be given to Dr. Lewis Collins, of Hethorn, for his answer to their prize question, on "What is the most eligible mode of increasing and propagating medical knowledge in the State of Connecticut." and also, to Dr. Gideon Shephard, of New-Town, for his answer to the same question;—those two pieces being approved as the two best on the question.
Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to return the Society's thanks to their President Eneas Manson, M. D. for his eulogium in memory of the late President Leverett Hubbard, M. D. and that he request a copy to be lodged on file.
Resolved, That the petition preferred to the assembly last fall be withdrawn.
Resolved, That the Treasurer of the Society be directed to commence prosecutions against all the examining committees, who shall not make legal returns of the money received, by the next annual meeting.
Voted, That the following prize questions be continued for discussion, viz:
 1st. What are the causes, symptoms and varieties of Phthisis Pulmonaris, and the best method of preventing and curing the same?  2d. What are the causes, symptoms and varieties, and best method and cure of Dysentery? 
Voted, It having been represented to the Society, that one of their members had gleaned up from the miserable remains of animal magnetism, a practice consisting of stroking with pointed metallic instruments the pained parts of human bodies, giving it that such strokings will radically cure the most obstinate pains to which our frame is incident, using false reports to be propagated of the effects of such strokings, especially where they have been performed on some public occasions, and on men of distinction; also that an excursion has been made abroad, and a patent obtained from under the authority of the United States, to aid such delusive quackery; that under such auspices as membership of this society and the patent abovementioned, the delusion progressing to the southward, which may occasion disgrace to the Society and mischief abroad; wherefore this society announce to the public, that they consider all such practices as barefaced imposition, disgraceful to the faculty, and delusive to the ignorant and they therefore direct their Secretary to cite a member of this society practicing as above before them, at their next meeting, to answer for his conduct, and render reasons why he should not be expelled from the Society for such disgraceful practices.
Dr. James Clark resigned his office of Secretary to the Society and Dr. Daniel Sheldon was elected to the office.
Resolved, that the thanks of the Society be returned to Dr. James Clark, for his faithful services to the Society in capacity of Secretary, and that he receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
Voted, that the next convention be held at the city of Hartford, on the Tuesday after the 2d Thursday of May next.

Three hundred of the people belonging to his majesty's ship Salisbury, wrecked on the Isle-Vache, have, we understand, fallen into the hands of Republican cruizers, who have landed them at Aux-Cayes.
Capt. Richardson, of the Niger, failed from Spithead on the 14th April, in company with upwards of 300 vessels, composing three convoys, one for the Mediterranean, another for the East-Indies, and few ships and five or six transports for the Windward Islands; those for that quarter were conveyed by admiral Pole, in the Carnatic of 64 guns, a frigate, two sloops, and a bomb ketch, which after seeing the merchantmen, &c. safe to Barbadoes, are to proceed to this station. Capt. Richardson parted company with them, off the Western Islands, on the 24th of the same month, his vessel being the only one bound for this Island.
A letter has been received by his honor the Councillor from Rear Admiral Parker, dated off Cape Francois, 28th May, stating the force of the enemy arrived there, to consist of two sail of the line, five frigates, and two corvettes. He adds, that he will continue with his squadron off that port to prevent their getting out, until he shall think the convoy far enough advanced to the northward to be out of danger.
Off Cow-Bay, about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, the Marquisin fell in with the Schooner Barbara, Capt.

I have also the pleasure to acquaint you, that we are in quiet possession of Demerara.
Tuesday arrived the American ship Diana, Coffin, from London, Madeira, Antigua, and St. Thomas's. Passenger John Perry, Esq.
SAVANNAH, June 9.
Died last Thursday noon in the city, David Montagu, Esq. aged 80 years, upwards of 40 of which he lived in Savannah. He had been speaker of our house of assembly, a judge of the court of confidence and the magistrates court, naval officer of the port, vice consul of the French nation, secretary to most of the societies in this town, and notary public, which he executed literally to the last hour of his life—after having wrote and given certificates of citizenship to some seamen he lay down, and died in an instant, without pain or a groan. His age added to the ages of the six predecessors at his funeral, all of whom are old Georgians, amounts to 487 years.—Mr. Montagu was born in England of French parentage; he never used spectacles of any kind in his life; his father and mother lived to be about the same age with himself, and the old lady's life was shorted at last by the cruel treatment she received upon Sapelo Island from some plunderers during our late revolution.

WASHINGTON, President of the United States. Deposited among the Rolls, in the office of the department of State. TIMOTHY PICKERING, Secretary of State.
BASLE, April 12.
M. Barthelémy, the French minister, has delivered to our Senate the following declaration of the executive directory, dated Paris, the 6th Germinal;—"The executive directory is credibly informed, that last year a plan was formed to attack the French frontiers by marching the corps of emigrants, commanded by the prince of Condé, first into the Frickthal, and from thence through the territory from Basle, against the department of the Upper Rhine, the Mont-Terrible, Doubs and Jura: that this plan, so far from being laid aside, is again resumed; and that preparations are actually making to carry it into effect. This plan is supported by several inhabitants of Switzerland, who employ all their interest and influence to facilitate its execution. The known sentiments of several magistrates of Basle, and other inhabitants of note, are by no means qualified to appease the solicitude of the directory on this head, it being notorious that they treat with as much ill nature the friends of the French republic, as they shew predilection for whatever concerns the imperial armies, and the interest of the emperor. Thus it must be supposed that if, in the execution of that plan, the enemy violated the territory of the canton of Basle, the magistrates who composed the government of this city, would endeavour by pleading the impossibility of resistance, ward off the consequences of the violated neutrality of the canton; of course, there does not exist at present sufficient security that its neutrality will be respected. Under these circumstances, the directory finds itself obliged to declare to the magistrates of the city and canton of Basle, that unless they adopt vigorous, sufficient, and unsuspicious measures for the defence of their own territory, and the maintenance of the respect due to their neutrality, it is resolved to take every step that shall be requisite for the protection of the frontier departments against every kind of insult; and the directory renders them answerable for all the unhappy consequences that may result from the military operations which circumstances may require."
FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
