TRIALS
FOR
HIGH TREASON,
Within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By EDMUND HOGAN, Editor of the Pennsylvania State Trials. IT will contain an accurate and comprehensive statement of the charges against the accused, the documents, oral testimony, arguments of counsel on both sides, and final issue.
As every citizen in the United States is more or less concerned in the issue of these trials, it is hoped the Editor will soon be enabled to acquaint the Public that he has been with sufficient encouragement to undertake the publication, which he intends to do as soon as 500 subscribers shall have signed.—With this view—
He offers the following Proposals to the Public.
I. The work shall be printed in octavo, with a good type, on fine paper, in numbers of 64 pages, to be delivered as soon as possible after the trial. II. As no accurate estimate of the length can be made at this time, its size and price cannot now be ascertained; but the price shall be limited to sixpence per sheet of 16 octavo pages, exclusive of binding. III. Subscribers on the delivery of the first number, to pay one dollar, and the remainder when the work shall be completed.
IV. The printers of newspapers in the United States, who shall publish these proposals six times in their April, May and June papers, shall be entitled to a copy for their trouble; and the allowance of a seventh copy will be made to them and all others who may exert themselves in soliciting subscriptions and securing payment. As this is supposed to be a sufficient inducement for printers, stationers, booksellers and schoolmasters, to be at some pains to procure subscriptions, it is hoped that persons will exert themselves by opening subscription papers immediately, and they are requested to be punctual in transmitting the lists before the first of July next; as the names are to be printed as patrons of this work.

The members are also requested to take notice, that the Annual Election for Directors and a Treasurer, Will commence at the same place, on Monday the fourth day of May next, at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Treasurer will attend to receive the Annual Payments.

Extract from the Preface.
Whilst the inhabitants of Europe are distracted by the din of arms, and the principal employment is to contrive the most expeditious means of destroying one another; let the happy citizens of these infant states turn their attention to the useful and elegant arts of peace; let them avail themselves of the discoveries of those ancient nations in the happier years that are past, until we no longer stand in need of their supplies, or remain exposed to the fluctuations of their fortune. March 17

UNITED STATES.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H. March 24. At the opening of the District Court for New-Hampshire, in this town, on Tuesday last, JUDAH PICKERING delivered the following pertinent charge to the Grand Jury.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury.
WE RE man to live in a state of nature, unconnected with other individuals, there would be no occasion for any other laws than the law of nature, and the law of God; neither could any other possibly exist; for a law always supposes some superior; and in a state of nature we are all equal, without any other superior but Him, who is the author of our being.
But when man becomes a member of society, his condition is not more altered, than his obligations multiplied. He must surrender many of his natural, to secure his civil rights; resign his native sovereignty for dependence on society; contribute his part towards the support and defence of the whole; and yield obedience to the will of the community.
The very act of associating implies that the whole should protect all its parts, and that every part should pay obedience to the will of the whole, or in other words; that the community should guard the rights of each individual member, and that each individual member should submit to the laws of the community; without which submission, it would be impossible to extend protection to any.
Notwithstanding the obligations resulting from the social compact, slender indeed would be the cords of government, were mankind not driven by their wants and fears to union; and more brittle than the thread of life, would be the tie of submission, were we left to argument alone for investigating the duty we owe to government. The investigations of reason are gradual, but the decisions of conscience prompt. If justice, benevolence, gratitude, and other private duties, are supported and enforced by the moral sense, it would be strange indeed, were nature deficient, with respect to public duty only. But nature is not deficient in any branch of the human system. Government is no less necessary for society, than society for man; and by the very frame of our nature, we are fitted for government, as well as for society.
The moral sense which binds individuals to be just to each other, binds them equally to submit to the will of the community; and we have a sense of fitness and rectitude in obeying the laws of government, and a sense of wrong, of guilt, and of meriting punishment, when we transgress them. Wherefore we must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but for conscience sake.
Providence has thus kindly fixed two anchors to the political vessel, to keep her steady against the storms of insurrection, and the current of innovation.
The obedience to civil government is the doctrine of revealed, as well as natural religion; yet what shall be the form of government, who shall be its rulers, in what circumstances, and to what degree they shall be obeyed, is the province of human reason, and of human laws to determine?
The Federal Government, consisting of so many sovereign states, so different in extent of territory, wealth, population, manners, habits, laws, and modes of judicial decision, is of a singular and delicate nature, and will ever require the same spirit of patriotism and of virtue, which founded to cement the union. This spirit laid the foundation, and the loss of it destroyed the ancient republics of Greece and Rome.
Those successive mistresses of the world, elated with prosperity, effeminated by luxury, and distracted by intestine broils, were taught too late; that neither Macedonian Phalanx, nor Roman Legions, could save them from the consequences of their own vices, or prevent their falling an easy prey to the rapacity of rude Barbarians.
To escape their catastrophe, we must shun their vices.
The faithful execution of the laws of the united, and individual states, the proper exercise of the mutual checks provided, and a constant recurrence and adherence to the principles on which these states are founded, would, next to habitual virtue, be the best preservative of the federal government. The union of the whole, must ever depend on the balance and movements of the parts.
But the best constitutions and laws are but a dead letter, nay often a grievance, unless the former be religiously adhered to, & the latter, honestly & irrepressibly executed. But such laws can never be so executed, unless the spirit of them, possess those to whom such execution is
committed; and it would be absurd, to expect to find this spirit in the magistrates and the several orders of the national, and individual governments, unless it appear in the body of the people, out of which these magistrates are chosen, and these orders are composed. To perpetuate our liberty, we must preserve our virtue; without which liberty will degenerate into licentiousness, and government into tyranny. In republican governments the people must be virtuous, their officers peace, and their exactors righteousness.
Having glanced at the duty of the citizens of these states in general, let us now advert to yours, in particular.
The objects of your inquiry, are all offences, cognizable under the authority of the United States, committed within this district, or upon the high seas, triable by this Court, where the punishment does not exceed thirty stripes, six months imprisonment, or a fine of one hundred dollars.
Gentlemen,
Impartiality, candor, and fidelity, should mark all your proceedings. You will present none for envy, hatred or malice, nor leave any unrepresented, for love, fear, favor, affection, or hope of reward, but you will present things truly, as they come to your knowledge, according to the best of your understanding. This will be the best directory for the punctual discharge of your duty, and the surest way of obtaining the approbation of your country—of your conscience—& of your final Judge.
Foreign Intelligence.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 20.
We have reason to look for something like the new French system; in some degree we have it already. The magistracy is converted into a municipality, and the great officer of the city, M. Heilias, has been replaced by M. de Vissel, with the title of mayor.—This is the citizen who was but two months ago condemned to six years imprisonment in a house of correction, for having presented, in the name of certain Burghers a request to the Burghomasters. He was conducted from prison to his new honor, and was borne in triumph by the people. The colleagues of M. de Vissel are also invested with popular charges. M. Staphorst, who fled, has been nominated representative of the Dutch people in the Convention. M. Crahenhoff is nominated Commandant of Amsterdam, until the arrival of M. Daendels. These two persons were in the French army.
WARSAW, Jan. 3.
The King intends, on the 7th inst. to set out on his journey to Grodno.
We learn from Peterburgh, that Count Montaign, a French Nobleman, who held the commission of Captain-Lieutenant in the Russian Navy in the Black Sea, has been arrested, and sentenced to have his sword broken over his head on the scaffold; to be stripped of his uniform, and to be sent into Siberia; there to be shut up in a cloister; for having kept up a secret correspondence with the French Convention, and received from that Assembly the promise of a great sum of money, if he would burn the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. The above sentence has been executed, and Montaign, under the necessary escort, sent to Siberia.
PARIS, Jan. 28.
THE memory of the famous Marat begins now to be attacked by the moderate party in France. The bust of that illustrious rascal, as well as that of Charlier formerly the mayor of Lyons, who was guillotined, have been removed from the play-house of Lyons. Some Jacobins complained of such a gross insult to patriotism to the manager of the theatre; he answered as a joke "that those two persons either had emigrated or had forgotten to renew their subscription, so that their boxes were empty."
Our papers speak now with the greatest distress of Marat, formerly the bloody god of Paris. One of them says—"No more is rendered now to those modern Deities than the homage once rendered by the Greeks to the infernal Deities." In speaking of those gods of the last requisition it is said:
"La crainte fut des Dieux, les premier inventeur."
"Fear was the first inventor of Gods."
All the documents relative to the enormities perpetrated by the old commune of Paris, and the old committees are reprinted in the newspapers. Amongst these are specially the famous circular address of the commune of Paris the day after the 2d of September, recommending to the other communes of France to follow the example of Paris, in murdering all the prisoners. That address was written and signed by Marat, and dispatched under the hand of Danton, the then minister of justice. Another paper, not less interesting, dated the 11th Floreal (30th of April)
was a resolution of the committee of general safety, for the purpose of giving to one Dufourneau full powers to execute private orders without any molestation or hindrance from any authority whatsoever; that resolution is signed by Elie la Coste, Moise Baile, Amar, Louis, Vouland and Jagot.
The 2d. Pluviose (21st January) there was a popular festival, after the commemoration of the king's death was over.—The effigy (mannequin) of a Jacobin double faced, covered with the red cap, dressed in red pantaloons, and a national jacket, armed with poniards and daggers, all covered with blood that flew from his eyes and mouth by a machine, was burnt in the midst of the court-yard of the Jacobin convent, before the church of the hall, in the midst of the applauses of the mob, after a long speech against those bloody monsters.
Bourdon de l'Oise has been robbed of all his clothes.
Gregoire having mounted a ladder in the committee of public instruction, to take a book from a shelf in the library, the ladder gave way, and he fell upon the stone floor of the room, his head was fractured, and he is now confined to his bed dangerously ill.
The committee of public safety has caused the seals to be put on a printing office where the memoirs of Dumourier were re-printing.
Very loud complaints are printed and publicly circulated here, on the disposition which gives to the criminal tribunal department of Paris, the power of judging revolutionarily.—It is argued, first, that any revolutionary tribunal, being a kind of commission, such an institution may easily degenerate into tyranny, because it goes out of the usual way of judging; 2dly—that often two persons are to be judged after the same manner, for different crimes, and they quote as an instance of their assertion, the cases of Maurin the murderer and La Croix the political writer, who did nothing more than enjoy the freedom of the press; 3dly that the tribunal accustomed to those unprecedented forms of trial, would proceed afterwards to judge the private business after the same way, and lose those tender feelings which are the safeguard of the innocent.
A great liberty of the press is however used at present; many persons write in favor of La Croix: it is generally believed he will be saved. Some writers have even published their reflections on the necessity of a speedy peace.
LONDON, Jan. 9.
Several of our brave but unfortunate countrymen, have begun to experience the peculiar excellencies of Mr. Mann's newly invented artificial leg. Admiral Pasley, the Hon. Mr. Bennett, and a Mr. Rhode, now at Deptford, have within this fortnight past, availed themselves of this invention, highly to their satisfaction. The first and last, though amputated, the one not more than two, the other but three inches below the knee-pan, have the perfect use of their natural knee joints. The Hon. Mr. Bennett, amputated above the knee, was enabled, on the very first trial, to exhibit every movement of the natural leg, knee, ankle, and toes. The great objection of weight, so commonly urged against instruments of this kind, is in the present one effectually obviated.
Mr. Mann's stay in town cannot be protracted more than a week longer; consequently, those who wish to consult him on the subject, are requested to make the earliest application to No. 43, Great Mary-le-bone-street.
January 15.
The festival of St. Catharine was celebrated with the same external demonstrations of joy at Warsaw as at Vienna. As the last insult to outraged humanity, the wretched inhabitants were compelled to illuminate their houses, and to wear the face of rejoicing, amid the recent graves of their slaughtered countrymen, relations and friends.
The Duke of Clarence dined with the Company that met at the Crown and Anchor on Saturday, to celebrate Mr. Fox's Birth Day.
The Elector Palatine towards the end of last month, published an edict, "ordering all the magistrates and justices of peace, not to suffer any French emigrant of whatever description and rank, to enter his dominions; to cause all the post coaches to be carefully searched, and in case they should contain any such emigrant, to re-conduct him to the frontiers, and enjoin them never to pass them again." It further enjoins them to stop all travellers on foot and on horseback, who bear the appearance of French emigrants, and in the same manner to send them back to the frontiers, &c. &c.
This edict is no doubt the severest of all the harsh measures pursued against the French emigrants. Those, who might be tempted to envy its severity should know, that the Prince, under whose authority it has been published, is the same who in 1792 granted a free passage to the Revolutionary army, under Custine, through his dominions, when marching to the siege of Mentz, and in 1793, refused the same passage to the corps of General Wurmser; inten-
ded to cut off the retreat of the French revolutionists, when they were obliged to abandon the environs of Mentz, and to retreat into France.
In Barrere's account of the defeat of the French fleet on the 1st of June, he vauntingly said, that this defeat was as good as a victory, because it had brought safe into the French ports a convoy from America, consisting of 116 sail, laden with provisions, sufficient for the consumption of all France during a twelvemonth. Now, that all the exaggerated reports of that oracle of the Robespierrian reign are made an object of enquiry by his enemies, an egregious error has been discovered in the above account by Freron , the editor of the Orator of the People , who, in one of his last numbers, observes, that supposing the above 116 vessels to have all been of 200 tons burthen, and all loaded with provisions, their cargo, compared with the actual consumption of France, could not have been sufficient for 34 hours subsistence.
They were the Livery of the Jacobins, and not the Livery of London, who attended at Guildhall last Friday. The ragamuffin-like appearance they made, their riotous conduct, and the numbers of Chalk-Farm faces that were very visible in every part of the Hall proved what description of people had come thither to seize upon the exclusive rights of the Livery, and to exercise that French principle of equality, so dear to those who wish to level the rich and the poor to one common standard in this country.
The Chancellor has issued his decree for the immediate sale of the jewels of the late Madame Du Barre. A claimant, as heir at law, has sprung up, in the person of a Monsieur Boissafon, to whom letters of Administration have been issued. The various demands on these precious stones are by no means settled.
By the late fire at the Exchange in Liverpool three persons were so much burned and bruised that their recovery is despaired of. All the fine paintings and furniture of the council and Assembly rooms, &c. were destroyed. The first stone of that elegant building was laid the 14th Sept. 1749, and opened for the public business in June, 1754.

COLCHESTER, (Engl.) Jan. 27.
At twelve o'clock this day, a meeting was held at the White Hart, for the purpose of petitioning his majesty to put an end to the present destructive war. James Hall, Esq. moved the following:
"That a petition be presented to his majesty to terminate the present war, upon such terms as may be consistent, with the safety and honour of this nation."
It was seconded and supported by Messrs. Tabou, senior and junior, merchants; was opposed by Francis Smythies, Esq. Town Clerk; supported by
the Rev. T. Twining, and the Rev. R. Proffer. Upon a written vote being taken, there appeared for it 36—against it, 105:—majority against it 69.
FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION, SITTING OF JANUARY 1.
Read the decree passed in the last sitting which orders every Representative of the People, to be sent to the Abbaye Prison, who shall insult his colleagues.
Charlier was of opinion, that this decree was disgraceful to the Convention, and moved for its repeal.
Andre Dumont observed, that within these last days not a single sitting had been held, which had not been disgraced by insults and speeches which would not be suffered in public places. Ordered that the decree remain in force.
On the proposition of Johannoto, the Convention returned the discussion of the project of a decree, framed by the five Committees, relative to the regeneration of commerce and trade. The only article that had been amply discussed in the preceding sittings, was that which prescribed, that the decree which ordered the sequestration of foreign property in France and the re-imbursment of those sums, which, in pursuance of that decree, had been paid into the national treasury.
Cambon demanded, that the article should be printed separately, and be preceded by a preamble, exposing the conduct of Russia, Sicily and Spain, against the French nation, which fully justified the measure of sequestration adopted by the Convention. He also moved, that the said article and preamble be translated into all the European languages, and serve as a Manifesto, stating to all Europe the sentiments of the French nation. This proposition was adopted, and Cambon charged with composing the said preamble.
The seventh article was as follows:—"Citizens, possessed of specie, are allowed to export it on condition of re-importing its value in articles of the first necessity."
Pellet took it insufficient for the intended purpose, viz. for the restoration of commerce, as it only mentioned articles of the first necessity; dangerous, because it tended to favor the exportation of specie, of which it would be extremely difficult to ascertain the full return in merchandise—and useless, it being very unlikely, that merchants should keep concealed any considerable sum in specie.
Cambon—If merchants did not export money, Government would be obliged to do it, because without ready money we can draw nothing from foreign countries. At this very time you can purchase nothing abroad but for specie, because we have no objects of barter to offer to foreign merchants, to which they attach a value equal to that of the commodity, which we want to buy of them. The Committees will certainly choose and propose to you the most efficacious means to prevent abuses of the decree, one of which might be to oblige the exporters to deposit their specie in the national treasury, and receive its value in bills or drafts on foreign bankers. Cambon's idea was adopted.
Article VIII. The act of navigation is provisionally suspended, till the Committees of the Marine and Commerce shall have laid before the Convention their opinion on the means to be employed for rendering its execution less ambiguous, and more useful.
Marc observed, that the act of navigation was a great and useful measure, which had been highly applauded by all neutral and allied powers, and even admired on the exchange of London. By suspending this act, all neutral vessels would be exposed to seizure, he therefore demanded that this article should be referred to the Committees. Agreed to.
The 9th article was decreed without opposition, as follows:
Art. IX. The National Convention enjoins all the agents of the Republic, all commanders of armed force, civil and military officers, to cause to be respected and observed in all their dispositions, the treaties which unite France to the neutral powers of the ancient continent, and to the United States of America. All regulations which may any way clash with said treaties, are annulled.
Article X. "All creditors of emigrants or other persons, whose property has been confiscated, are creditors of the State." This article, after some discussion, was put to the vote, and agreed to.
Tuesday, Jan. 20.
A letter was read from Cambray; it contained the most bitter complaints against the liberation of Lebon. It denounced thirty of his creatures, who are now at the head of public affairs in the department of the North, and intreat all the citizens for a speedy return of Lebon. Terror is in consequence become again the order of the day—sent to the three committees.
Decreed, that all the clothes and property of poor people pawned to the Mons de Piété , should be discharged and given back to the owners, in consequence of the inclemency of the season.
Ordered that for the same reason, and the intemperance of the cold, there should be in every section public fire places for warming the poor.
Monday, Jan. 26.
A long discussion took place about

Savan, the minister of war in Dumourier's time. For fourteen months he had been confined in the Abbey prison, without charges against him. Some deputies spoke highly in favor of his integrity as a minister, and bravery as a general. He was provisionally set at liberty.
Tarbe, minister of the contributions in 1792, wrote to the convention, imploring his liberation and the examination of his conduct. Referred to the committees.
It was announced to the Convention, that Maurin, the murderer of Olivier, had been condemned to death by the criminal tribunal of the department of Paris.
In consequence of the rigour of the season, it was ordered, that all the cloaths of the arrested persons that were under the seals, be restored to them; ordered too that the cloaths of the relatives of the persons that have suffered, seized as a national property, be restored to the wives and children of those unhappy victims.
A denunciation was made by the Breton people, against the public accuser of the revolutionary tribunal of that town, an agent of Robespierre, named Verteuil.
It was said in the denunciation, that he forced the children of the persons executed to dance on ground covered with the blood of their fathers. He, for his pleasure caused the heads of his victims to be regularly disposed, after the execution, on the scaffold, and ordered public and chimerical operations on the corpses of the women that he had immolated to his fury.
Another of his agents named Ragueneau, was denounced. Their provisional arrestation was decreed, and the whole was referred to the three committees.
Lacroix, the Author of a pamphlet where royalty was proposed, writes from the prison of the Conciergerie, requesting that two copies of his work may be allowed for him and his official defender, in order that he may make his defence from the whole of the book, and asserting, that a separate idea cannot be imputed to him as a crime; but on the contrary, that he may be able to prove by the connexion and general tenor of all his thoughts, how it was attached to true republican principles. He has so much more a right to such a favour, as it has been ordered that every one of his Judges should have a copy of his work out of the edition that had been seized. Referred to the committee of public safety.
Mercier was elected president, he is one of 77 deputies lately released.
Monday, January 19. A deputation imploring the commission of the Convention, in behalf of the unhappy city of Lyons, to prove the patriotism of its inhabitants said, that when they left that city, which was five days ago, it was without a morsel of bread, and reduced to two ounces of rice a day for each person.
A deputation of young men of Paris came to the bar, and presented an address, full of energy, against the remnant of the Jacobins. They demanded the speediest vengeance against the Jacobin who stabbed in the Faubourg St. Antoine, a member of the revolutionary committee named Olivier, the murderer was one Maurin, a pasteboard maker.
A deputation of the Nantais came to the bar, and gave a melancholy picture of the distressed situation of their commune, so long the theatre of the most shocking enormities. Merlin de Thionville occupying then the chair, in an animated answer, promised them relief and vengeance.
PHILADELPHIA, April 11.
New way of Advertising a Book. From a Norfolk Paper. To the Lovers and supporters of Monarchy and Aristocracy.
THE Leather Medal Society have the pleasure to inform all the friends of Strong government, his majesty's subjects, members of this Society, or others, that they have just received from Philadelphia, that most valuable work, entitled, "A Bone to Gnaw for the Democrats." The Society are at a loss to convey in suitable words, the excellence of this work—suffice it to say, that it was written by two of his Majesty's loyal subjects in Philadelphia, whose principles alone are sufficient to recommend it to the admiration of every loyal soul—these two gentlemen were both opposed to the American Rebellion, one of them was tried by the rebels, and narrowly escaped the cord, the other sought safety by flight, and is rewarded by a valuable post from his Majesty. Principles of aristocracy, bottomed by Toryism must be immaculate!
This work was professedly written in answer to an infamous libel called, "The Political Progress of Britain," (which this Society have also received, and caused to be burned) but the true intent and meaning of The Bone to Gnaw, is to vilify all republican democratic principles of government, to degrade the cause of the infamous French Republic, and exalt the cause of Old England and her allies.
Nevertheless this Society observed with pain certain expressions in the said Bone highly offensive to many loyal subjects; they have therefore caused an edition of the work to be printed under their own inspection and by their own printer, in which all the offensive paragraphs are expunged, and the work thus corrected and revised may be had of the Secretary of this Society.
The expunged paragraphs are as follows—Page 2d. "a' the wa' from Edenborough." Same Page. "Is it any thing to us wheather he prefers Charley to George, or George to Charley, any more than wheather he 'used in his own country to eat his burgo with his fingers or with a horn spoon?"
Same Page, "Just as if we cared wheather his posteriors were covered with a pair of breeches or a kilt, or wheather they were literally bare."
Page 10, "Sawney's complaint, for English severities inflicted on the Scotch for attachment to the Pretender."
Page 17, "Which complaint was as bad as serving up a mess of burgo after a cranberry tart."
Page 33, "Pious & patriotic Scotchman, from the Isle of Skey, that terreftrial paradise."
With sundry expressions respecting the itch and other disorders incident to a very loyal part of his majesty's dominions.
N. B. Beware of counterfeits—as several editions are in town, not expunged, corrected or revised.

NEW-YORK, April 10.
The latest accounts from Paris bespeak a continuation of the system of Moderation—among other decrees and resolutions, corresponding with it, we notice
An exception to be made in the prosecutions of the Revolutionary Tribunal, of those emigrants and "exported" priests who had made applications at the bar of the Convention on their return in consequence of the decree of the 20th December.
That on the 10th Jan. a number of the sections of Paris assured the Convention of their determination to support the system of moderation; and to suppress the fears attempted to be excited by the Jacobins in raising up the "Phantom of Royalism."
On the 13th Jan. a motion was made and
decreed that Gen. Kellerman should be employed in the service of his country—also that Gen. Miranda and Capt. Lacroix should be set at liberty.
The inspectors of the Hall of the Convention reported a plan for a new arrangement of the seats, which would destroy the distinctions of right and left, Valley and Mountain , which was ordered to be printed.
Humane resolutions were proposed, and referred to Committees, that 5 or 600 of the "Robbers" of La Vendee, taken in arms, imprisoned at Rochelle and employed at labour, should be discharged, at the end of one month; be freed from work during the next month, and receive daily instruction to prepare them for the liberty their country was to restore.

DIRECTIONS respecting FIGUEIRA BAR.
Cape Mondego lies in lat. 40, 12' about 17 leagues south of Oporto. In coming round the Cape, into Buarcos road, you must give it a Birth of from 1-2 to 3-4 of a mile. If the weather admits, a pilot goes off from Buarcos, and leaves a pilot with the vessel. On the North side of the Bar, is the castle of St. Catharine, on which the colors are hoisted as a signal for the vessels coming to the bar. The pilot and boat are there to direct them at entering; but it is necessary to observe the following SIGNALS.
If the colors on the castle are kept flying and a gun fired—it is to push for the bar with all the sail you can set.
If a gun is fired from the castle and no colors hoisted—to go off to sea.
If the colors are hoisted and hauled down again at the beginning of the flood—for the vessel to ply on and off, and wait for the tide.
If the colors are hoisted and hauled down and a gun fired—to go to sea.
At full and change, it is high water at half past two.
Any vessel that comes consigned to F. and M. Archer & Co. are desired to hoist their ensign at the main peak, and pendant at the fore-top-mast head, that they may be known, and every assistance will be given them that may be required.

Extract of a letter from the West-Indies, to a merchant in this town, dated Feb. 28, 1795.
"Dear Sir, "I am sorry to inform you, that the Yellow Fever rages here nearly as bad as ever. I would wish you to be as cautious as possible, or else you may expect to have it with you this Summer perhaps worse than the last. If you begin in time, I make but little doubt of your keeping clear of it. You cannot be too particular, in having vessels, from every part of the West-Indies, examined before they are admitted to pass your fort. I am in hopes of hearing from you shortly. I remain yours, &c."

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Saturday, Jan. 24.
The hall of the Jacobins was granted for the instruction of the clerks of the national schools.
La Lande, the astronomer, sent to the Convention a series of meteorological observations on the thermometer—the fluid had been in the night of the 23d to 16 deg. under 0 as in 1709, but a degree less than in 1738. At Franckfort, the 13th of January, it had been at 19.
From the Vermont Gazette. However many bitter reflections have appeared against the French in the course of their glorious struggle for liberty, by an impartial view of events that have transpired from time to time, and with which the present period of their history is replete, they certainly appear in a light superior to that in which they were ever before viewed, perhaps by any nation in the world. The frequency of executions which have at several periods occurred are by no means to be compared with those of the British on quelling the Scottish rebellion of 1745, or those of any similar event on record in history.
Extract of a letter from St Croix, via New-York, dated 10th March.
"I have nothing new to communicate, except that the prospect of our top has altered amazingly of late.

American Landscapes. PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities.
By G. I. PARKYNS, Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain."
CONDITIONS.
I. That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 5 Dollars.
II. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality. The publication to commence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally completed.
III. That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page; an elegant characteristic vignette; a map of the route, connected with the prospect exhibited in the course of the work; and an Alphabetical list of the Subscribers.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at a crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: Amidst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and ability of men of genius and talents.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether uninteresting or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul at the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter...
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution.
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality.
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned:
1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York, &c. &c. &c.
It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expense, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Proposals.
Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be addressed to him at New-York.
Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harrison, at his Print-shop, Maiden-lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-seller, No. 118, Market street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-sellers in the United States. February 28.

The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND! 2awtf

SCHEME OF THE
LOTTERY, No. II.
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Prizes, Total Amount. Includes entries for 15,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10 dollars.
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 entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, 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 completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery.
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 given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The special securities given for the payment of the Prizes, 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.
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 whenever 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 first suspension indispensable.
