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 complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington. The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable 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 real 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. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution. A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public 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 short suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.

FRAUNCES'S TAVERN. No. 59 South Water Street. THE Subscriber respectfully begs leave to inform his friends and the public in general, that he has removed from No. 166 South 2d Street, to that large, commodious, House in Water Street, between Chestnut and Walnut Streets, lately occupied by Mr. Isaac Husteburgh, and on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it convenient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen. The House being situated on the same spot where the noted Beef Steak and Punch house formerly stood, has the advantage of the best water in this city, known long since by the name of the Green Tree Water. As there are several elegant Rooms, sufficiently large to accommodate any Society or company of gentlemen, and from his well known abilities to please in the line of his business, he flatters himself with a continuance of that patronage which he has experienced since he first opened a Public House in this City, and for which he begs leave to make a public acknowledgment. For the accommodation of Small Parties, the Large Coffee Room on the ground floor is conveniently fitted up with a number of Boxes, constructed in such a manner as to admit Gentlemen to be as private as they please—Where may be had, at any hour, Soups, Beef-Steaks, Relishes, &c. &c. He has on hand, and will keep a constant supply of Spirits and Malt Liquors, and of the best qualities. Breakfasts provided—Also Dinners and Suppers cooked in the most approved manner, at a short notice, and Pastry of all sorts, made to order, in the House, or to send out at any hour. He has several well furnished Bed Chambers, for Boarders and Lodgers, by the Week, month, or year. SAMUEL FRAUNCES. P. S.

RIDING-SCHOOL, AND Horse Academy; Also, HOSPITAL FOR SICK AND LAME HORSES, &c. THE Ladies and Gentlemen of Philadelphia and its vicinity are respectfully informed, that a Building of the above description is intended to be immediately erected, under the sole direction of T. SWANN, where Ladies and Gentlemen will be instructed in Riding and managing the Horse according to the established rules of art, and Horses will be properly broke for every purpose. But as the fitting up such buildings will be attended with a heavy expense, he has published proposals, soliciting a subscription to forward this useful Seminary, particulars of which may be seen at Mr. Ormrod's Printing Office Chestnut street; he will be happy to wait upon any lady or gentleman inclined to honour him with their support, and fully explain himself on this subject, a line addressed to him at No. 63, South Third street will be duly attended to. Those gentlemen &c. who may have horses labouring with diseases either sick or lame he will attend on them if desired and immediately explain the nature of the complaint and what can be done to help and relieve them—he also engages to cure and make sound horses which have the following complaints, viz. canker'd feet, contracted hoofs, sand cracks, quitors, splents, wind galls, curbs and spavins, either bog or hock, if in their first stages. He performs a curious manual operation which takes away the cause of blindness from Horses that have bad and weak eyes. The above he has experienced on more than six hundred Horses, with singular success. N. B. Any Lady or Gentleman who have Horses that have been ill broke, and very awkward and unhandsy to ride, he will engage to give them six suppling lessons in his temporary manage, at the final expense of only five Dollars, by which their Mouths and actions shall be more altered for the better than is possible to be conceived by those who are unacquainted with the art. The Lectures on Horsemanship published by T. Swann are to be had at Mr. Ormrod's, Chestnut-street, wherein is contained more concise and genuine instructions on which the art is founded, than are to be had in any publication, comprised in so small a compass, now extant.

Two Valuable Plantations,
Being part of the Estate of Andrew Doz, deceased. One containing about one hundred and seventy one Acres, whereon is erected a new and substantial brick building two stories high, with three rooms on a floor, and cellars underneath. On the premises is a pump of excellent water, a stone barn, a spring house, and a wharf at the landing, near the mouth of Frankford Creek. Also a fine apple orchard, from which, upwards of two hundred barrels of Cyder have been made in a year, and a quantity of apples sold. The other, adjoining the former, contains about fifty eight Acres, whereon is a convenient brick house, a new barn, a pump of good water, an orchard, cyder mill, &c.—This tract is subject to a ground rent of 45 pounds per Annum, redeemable at any time after the 20th January, 1796, on payment of 112 oz. 10 dwt. of Gold. The two farms contain about twelve Acres of Wood Land, the whole is inclosed with post and rail fencing. The situation is beautiful for a gentleman's seat, Frankford Creek and the Del ware being in full view, with all the craft passing up and down the river. On these waters there is plenty of fowling and fishing, and the creek affords an inexhaustible stock of manure—The produce of the Farms may be easily transported from the wharf to the city of Philadelphia, which is only six miles distant, except in the Winter when the navigation is interrupted by ice, and then the communication is open by Frankford road, which is the best to the Philadelphia market. Any person desirous to view the premises, they will be shown them by George Castor, living there; and the terms of sale will be made known at the vendue. John Connelly, Auctioneer. June 30. $1S

A CHARGE delivered to the Grand Jury for the District of Connecticut, in the Circuit Court of the United States, held at New-Haven, April 25, 1795; and also delivered to the Grand Jury for the District of Vermont, in the Circuit Court of the United States held at Windsor, May 12, 1795. By James IREDELL, one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. (Published at the request of the Grand Juries to whom it was respectively addressed.)
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, YOU being now assembled to discharge one of the most awful and important trusts which can be executed in any Country, particularly in one which enjoys the highest share of rational liberty of which perhaps human nature is capable, I doubt not you are sufficiently impressed with a sense of the great interest which your Country has in a due performance of it. In vain are laws made if an obedience to them is not enforced. In vain have the people chosen their own constitutions of government (as well general as particular) if the governments established under them are not submitted to. In vain does government act one way, if the individuals by whose authority collectively that government was instituted, or a considerable portion of them act another. Common sense, as well as common justice and the lowest notions of republican government, revolt against the absurd idea that when once a majority constitutionally authorised has passed a law, which all are bound to obey, any may disobey with impunity. Courts of Justice, therefore, are established to punish a disobedience to all such laws as are obligatory on all the citizens, in order that the common will of the whole community, when collected in a constitutional manner, may be truly and not nominally carried into execution, whatever opposition it may meet with from weak or wicked members of the community who may disregard the will of the whole when it comes into competition with their partial or individual views, their interests, their passions, or mischievous designs of any sort, if such should be entertained by any.
But, gentlemen though it be thus obviously necessary that an obedience to the laws of our country be enforced, yet the manner in which it is to be done is a consideration of extreme moment to the happiness, the security, the peace of mind of every citizen. The suspicions which are often unjustly cast upon the best men the jealousy with which a great part of mankind view the conduct of each other, the envy of some the malice of others, the two great readines in all to indulge their passions, when not checked by a powerful sense of duty operating strongly on their consciences,—all these circumstances, the reality of which is well known to every man,—indispensably require, in a land of liberty, that prosecutions should not be too rashly undertaken, that they should be undertaken with deliberation and solemnity, that they should be undertaken impartially, being "no respecter of persons," and that their sole object should be the security and interest of the community at large, disdaining every consideration of private favour or ill will, as alike incompatible with the eternal principles of justice, and the sublimity of those principles of freedom which regard with an equal eye the richest and the poorest, the most powerful and the most weak, the best befriended members of the community, and those whose sole protection, under God, is the justice and humanity of the community itself. To attain an impartiality so just and so desirable no institution can be better calculated than that of a Grand Jury, composed, as it usually is (and always ought to be) of a select number of respectable and disinterested members of the community, selected for a single time only, and who may justly be presumed to have no views but to promote the interest and happiness of their common country. From such men innocence has every thing to hope, and guilt every thing to fear, and their country at large every blessing to expect that can flow from a steady, upright, and discerning administration of criminal justice.
This duty, gentlemen I am persuaded you will perform with the greater cheerfulness from a recollection of the prosperity your country has attained in consequence of the sacred regard which it has paid to the principles of justice both public and private, and which has afforded an illustrious proof of the value of genuine liberty, which is founded on the basis of law and order and cannot exist without them. It's true mean is undoubtedly fixed between anarchy and tyranny, the two extremes which all rational governments have to guard against, and which I trust, are sufficiently guarded against by ours, if the people (as I doubt not they will) cordially support the governments of their own formation. A glorious evidence of this has indeed lately been given which will astonish most other nations in the present age, and perhaps be felt in its effects, as well as admired in it's example by generations yet to come.
Having no reason to believe that any important business is likely to come before you upon which it may be material for me to make any particular observations, I shall therefore only observe generally, that your duty is to present offences committed against the United States, not any that are committed against this State solely. The offences against the United States consist in violations of the law of nations, or violations of some duty to the United States in particular. Of the former the courts of the United States have cognizance because the United States have the sole management of the interests of all as they concern foreign nations: They therefore are to take care that all offences of that sort when known meet with a proper prosecution; it being a duty necessarily incident to their sovereign superintendency over all cases of that nature, and also because in case of any palpable injury to a foreign nation, or any individual belonging to it, the United States as a nation are accountable for proper redress being given. The courts of the United States also have natural authority to enforce the laws of the United States, as it of course devolves on every government to enforce obedience to its own regulations. But in order that such obedience be properly enforced, without hardship or oppression, the constitution hath provided important checks even upon the Legislative power itself (a thing without example until happily introduced in the American governments,) and the Legislature hath made many excellent provisions of its own calculated for the fair and impartial trial of every person under prosecution. They are well worthy of your study and attention as individuals, whether you have occasion at present to consult any of them in your capacity as Grand Jurors or not. If there should be any prosecutions, you may, I am confident, safely rely on the abilities and integrity of the gentlemen whose official duty it is to conduct the prosecutions or behalf of the United States in this district. You may be assured, upon application of receiving every proper assistance from the court. I doubt not, if you should have occasion to consider of any prosecutions whatever you will exercise the same diligence, impartiality, and regard to justice which hitherto, so far as I have observed or heard, have done so much honour to American Grand Juries, and which, I trust, will be evinced in all future instances of the like kind in all times to come.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Further particulars relative to the INSURRECTION. 1. Prairial, May 20, continued,
As soon as the unfortunate Ferrand had been massacred, and his head brought on a pole into the Hall, an immense crowd burst in and filled all the benches and tribunes. Some words were spoken by the president, which, on account of the tumult that raged on all sides, could not be heard. It was supposed, however, that they related to a suspension of the sitting; for the greater part of the Deputies rose, and with difficulty retired out of the Hall. The insurgents had now gained a complete victory, and the Gendarmes were forced to withdraw. This was between four and five o'clock in the afternoon.
"From this moment," says the editor of Le Batave, "the National Representation ceased to exist, and a band of furies had taken possession of the august, and hitherto sacred place, allotted the Legislators of Twenty-Five Millions of Men."
From five o'clock till ten the greatest disorder reigned, and on account of the numerous leaders of the insurgents, there was no co-operation among them. They still, however, kept possession of the Convention. During the short intervals of silence the Toecin was heard ringing in various parts of Paris, and the Generale was beat. A few deputies, however, still kept their seats in the Convention, and the venerable Vernier remained in the President's chair, calm amidst the tempest, and unmoved amidst the general storm. A motion was made by one of the insurgents about ten o'clock at night, that such of the deputies as were present should resume their deliberations.
The deputies expressed their willingness to deliberate, and a corner of the hall was cleared for their reception. Bourbotte, Duroy, Duquesnoy, Romme, and Gougeon, particularly distinguished themselves by some strong speeches against the persectors of the Jacobins. Motions were made and passed, to set at liberty all the deputies who had demanded the Appeal Nominal on the 21st Germinal, on the arrest of Barrere, to repeal the decree for disarming the Terrorists; to release the citizens taken up for their political opinions since the 9th Thermidor: to re-organize the committee of general safety, and to seal up the papers of all the present members of the committee. The following members were voted by acclamation to compose the new committee of general safety:
Bourbotte, Duquesnoy, Duroy, and Prieur of Marne. After these decrees had been passed, Romme mounted the tribune, for the purpose of reading them to the insurgents.
Bourdon of Oise, who had just returned to the hall—"What are you going to do; read these detestable decrees—I oppose the passing of any decree now. The National Convention ceases at this moment to exist."
Down with him! down with him! was heard on all sides of the hall. The decrees were then read and loudly applauded. A great number of the insurgents now quitted the hall.
Boissy d'Anglais took the President's chair. A tumult was heard at the extremity of the hall, and the drums were heard at the door of the Convention. The insurgents were alarmed. An immense crowd of citizens in arms entered the hall with Legendre at their head. They exclaimed "Long live the National Convention. Down with the Jacobins." The insurgents formed themselves into a line to resist. They were attacked by the armed citizens, and a conflict ensued, in which some lives were lost. At length the insurgents were totally driven out of the hall, and the deputies who had accompanied the citizens resumed their deliberations, and immediately annulled all the decrees that had been passed.
The commandant of the armed force was called in, and ordered to take the proper measures to defend the National Representation. The greatest part of the armed citizens, from an impulse of respect, retired out of the hall, declaring that they would watch round the Convention till order was perfectly restored.
The Convention then declared its sitting's permanent. Motion was made to arrest Bourbotte, Duquesnoy, Duroy, Prieur of La Marne, Rommy, Soubany, Gougeon, and Albite the elder.
The Convention, however, ordered only three viz. Bourbotte, Duquesnoy, and Duroy, to be arrested.
The Committees of Public and General Safety were ordered to give an hourly account of the state of Paris.
From the American Vice-Consul at Havre, May 4, 1795.
DELMOTTE, Vice-Consul of the United States of America, informs the American Merchants and Captains, that from an arrangement made between the English, Spaniards, and Dey of Algiers, the Algerine Corsairs are permitted to sail out of the Mediterranean, and that in consequence a Courier has been dispatched to Portugal, to call in their ships, the Dey having promised to respect the Trade of Portugal, under certain conditions.
DANTZICK, April 8.
The exportation of Grain is forbidden; the orders were issued when considerable quantities had been purchased for England.
As the political horizon begins to clear in the West of Europe, clouds in the North seem to threaten a storm.
According to the last advices from Petersburg, in every port of the Russian Empire, great preparations for war are making. Towards the last of May a fleet of 45 sail of the line, will be ready. A large body of troops are ordered to Poland, and the frontiers of Turkey, to reinforce the armies, which already amount to 160,000 men.
This conduct of the Empress, particularly the events in Poland, has occasioned great uneasiness in the Courts of Copenhagen and Stockholm; and the same letters say, that these Courts are making formidable preparations. They are fitting out a fleet of 32 sail of the line, twelve of which, under the command of a Danish Admiral, will sail the next month for the North Sea. Twenty others and 8 frigates will be employed as a fleet of observation in the Baltic. The same activity prevails in filling up the land forces of the two nations. Such warlike preparations announce great events.
FRANCKFORT, (upon the Maine) May 6.
The people are in open insurrection at Nuremberg, on account of the price and scarcity of provisions. The mob insulted the houses of the Bakers in presence of the
armed force, which was not able to prevent this violence. A general rising is much feared.
The German papers are filled with accounts of the reinforcements of the army of the Emperor. The officers report to the people, that the Austrian Army on the Rhine, will amount from 200,000 to 240,000 men.
The whole army of the Emperor is reckoned—the army of Italy at 42,000, army of the Rhine 240,000, Line of Poland 30,000, interior garrisons, 90,000, equal to 402 thousand men.
The departure for Battle of the Baron Lehrbach, minister of the Emperor, to negotiate for peace, gives place for many conjectures among the German Politicians, and particularly among the French Emigrants.
According to the orders from Vienna, every possible effort is made to relieve Luxembourg.
May 1. There has been a warm action in the neighbourhood of Mentz, in consequence of a sortie from the Austrians. On both sides they discovered prodigies of valour, and the loss was great on both sides. Gen. St. Cyr, who relieved the left wing, and placed his light artillery to rake the enemy's flank, was the greatest sufferer.
ROME, April 18.
The excessive price of provisions has occasioned commotions in the port of Fermo, on the Adriatic. The mutineers appeared in number about 200, before the Palace of the Governor, and chose five persons to report to him, that if the price of grain was not less in three days, he must be accountable. The Governor gave orders to lessen the price, but this did not satisfy them, they went to the merchants and bakers, and fixed their own prices. The Secretary, fearing that the people of town should unite with the port marched in with the cavalry, and gave orders at Ancona to march an hundred men into the port of Fermo.
PERSIA.
One of the best kingdoms of Asia upon which nature has lavished all her treasures, continues to be the bloody theatre of rapid revolutions. Ali Kan, betrayed by his partisans, has been delivered alive into the hands of his enemy, Muhammed Kan; who after having put out his eyes, confined him in the fortress of Talzeran. All the treasures of Kerim Kan have also fallen into the hands of the conqueror, and particularly two Pearls, and a Diamond called Derianour, the greatest which exists, and 50 besides, of which the least weighs 100 carats.
PARIS, May 10.
All the friends of the Law are grieved at the affair which happened at Lyons. Should private vengeance against an assassin become lawful from the oblique and absolute neglect of public justice, it never can be just that any man should be a assassinated when groaning in irons. Bad as he may be, this is a cowardice which no man dares to vindicate. The indignation was so great against the prisoners, who had been concerned in some past cruelties, that altho' the people liked Loix the Republic , they still complained of the delay of justice. The affair has been represented in the Convention, and MATTHIEU proposed that some official account should be transmitted, that the offenders should be apprehended, arraigned and punished.
Read in Convention May 9.
Declaration from the Commanders in the Catholic and Royal Army of Anjou, and Upper Poictou.
WE, the Commander in Chief, and Officers of the Catholic and Royal Army of Anjou, and Upper Poictou, declare, that, encouraged by a desire of peace, we have delayed a final issue of our affairs till this day, to consult the wishes of the people, whose interests have been trusted to us, and to know the intentions of the Officers in the Army of Brittany; that these wishes have been delivered to us in a writing dated 13th Feb. 1795, entitled, Words of Peace: That agreeable to the declaration of the 19th April, we adhere to the measures taken by the Representatives for the restoration of peace in the departments under arms, and submit ourselves to the laws of the Republic, one and indivisible, promising, never to bear arms against it, and to deliver up immediately our Artillery. It is our most sincere desire that this measure on our part may serve to extinguish the flames of civil discord, and shew to foreign nations that France is no other than a nation of brethren, and that we desire that these nations may soon form with it a society of friends. We invite the Representatives of the people, who have assisted in restoring peace, to appear in the National Convention, and to express the sincerity of our wishes, and effectually remove all suspicions which bad men might raise against the loyalty of our intentions. Signed, STOFFLET, &c. BARRE, Secretary-General. Salem Gazette.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Authentic copy of the judgment of the Revolutionary Tribunal, passed upon Fouquier, Tienville, and his associates. Translated for the MINERVA from the Moniteur.
The Tribunal having considered the declaration of the Jury, importing:
I. That there have been practiced in the Revolutionary Tribunal, sitting at Paris, in the course of the 2d year of the French Republic, manoeuvres and plots, tending to favor the libertine projects of the enemies of the people and the republic, to bring about the dissolution of the national representation and destruction of the Republican order, and to excite the arming of each citizen against each other.
Especially, in causing to perish, under the pretence of a judgment, an innumerable crowd of French people, of every age and every sex: in contriving for this purpose plans of conspiracy in the different houses of arrest of Paris.
In forming or causing to be formed in the houses, lists of proscription;
In compiling, in concert with certain members of the ancient committees of government, plans of reports on these pretended conspiracies, suitable to impose on these committees and the National Convention, and to wrest from them sanguinary arrests and decrees;
In uniting in the same act of accusation, and same condemnation, dragging to trial, and to punishment, numerous persons of every age, sex, and nation, absolutely unknown to each other;
In demanding and ordering the execution of certain women who declared themselves to be pregnant at the time, but whose pregnancy they could not prove;
In judging, within two, three, or four hours at most, 20, 40, 50, and even 60, individuals at once.
In heaping upon the carts, destined for the execution of the punishment, men, women, young and old, deaf, blind, the sick and the infirm.
In getting the carts ready early in the morning, and even long before the accused were brought to trial;
In not defining, in the acts of accusation, the quality of the accused in a precise manner—so that, by this confusion, the father has suffered for the son, and the son for the father.
In not giving to the accused information of the

act of accusation against him, or only giving it to him at the moment of his being led to trial.
In delivering, before the compiling of the sentences, the signature to the Clerk, on blank papers so that afterwards many other persons have been added (the preamble and verdict merely making mention of a great number of persons) who have all been executed, tho' against them no testimony was contained in the sentences;
In not writing, or neglecting to cause to be written, the verdict of the Jury, below the questions which were submitted to them;
Both of which two last collusions, the necessary consequence of the criminal collusion of the judges in the exercise of their functions, caused that crowd of errors and blunders, which are all proved to have united in the destruction of the unfortunate Peres;
In prohibiting speech to the accused, and their council, and in contenting themselves with calling the accused over by their names, ages and qualities, and at the same time interdicting all defence;
In causing, under the pretext of a revolt which never existed, decrees to be passed, which took from the accused a chance for inquiry;
In not putting the questions, submitted by the Jury, in presence of the accused;
In picking the Jury instead of impanelling them by lots;
In substituting, for the regular Jury, a special Jury of their own choosing;
In judging and condemning the accused without either witnesses or pleadings.
In not opening those which had been sent for their conviction or justification, and refusing to hear the witnesses who were actually assembled;
In having brought persons to trial (who have been condemned and executed) before the appearance of witnesses, and the producing of papers, demanded and judged necessary, to their being brought to trial;
In causing to be conducted to the place of execution, a great number of accused persons, and leaving exposed, during the time of their execution, the corpse of one of them their co-accused, who had safeguarded himself during the pronouncing of the sentence;
In passing a single sentence upon all the accused in mass;
In proposing to bleed the condemned, to weaken the courage which accompanied them even in the hour of death;
In corrupting the public morals by propositions the most atrocious, and the most sanguinary difficulties;
In maintaining connections, correspondences, and intelligence, with the conspirators already mentioned with the sword of the law;
II. That Fouquier is the author of these manoeuvres and plots, and that he has acted with bad intentions;
III. That Stephen Fancourt ex-judge;
Gabriel Toussaint Sclier, ex-president;
Francis Peter Garnier de Lamay, ex-judge;
Peter Nicholas Louis Leroi, called tenth of August ex-juror;
Leopold Renaudin, ex-juror;
Joachim Villette, ex-juror;
John Louis Piqueur, ex-juror;

Joseph Vernay, ci devant keeper of the keys of Luxembourg;
Francis Duquommier, ex administrator of the police;
A. M. I. Hermann, commissary of the civil administration, police and tribunals, ex-president, are not authors, but that they are accomplices in these manoeuvres and plots, and that they have acted with bad intentions.
The Tribunal has condemned the above mentioned to the pain of death.
IV. That Anthony Maire, ex-judge—Gabriel Dehege, ex-president; Mary Claude Neulin, sub-judge, ex-president; Francis Mary Delaporte, ex-judge; Francis Trichard, ex-juror; John Stephen Brocher, ex-juror; Bennet Frey, ex-juror; John Guyard, former jailor to Luxembourg; I. L. Vagnole, house painter; are not authors, but they are accomplices in these manoeuvres and plots, but they have not acted with bad intentions. The Tribunal acquits them.
V. That John Baptist Toussaint Beaufire, gentlemen; Maurice Duplay, ex-juror; are neither authors nor accomplices in those manoeuvres and plots. The Tribunal acquits them also.
The sixteen condemned to die, savs the Editor of the Moniteur—submitted to their sentence, on the 18th Floreal (May 7th) at the Place De Greve. They were conducted thither on three carts, in the midst of an immense multitude, who covered them with cries and maledictions.
Fouquier replied occasionally by the most horrible predictions. His figure was pale and livid, all his muscles shrunk, his eyes wild and animated with rage.
He was executed the last. The people demanded his head: the executioner seized it by the locks, and exposed it to the view of the multitude.
* The word here translated pleadings , is generic, and includes declarations, pleadings, and depositions for and against—in short, all writings used at a trial.
LONDON, May 11.
Thibaut has announced to the French Convention, that every thing is ready for the fabrication of 150 millions copper money; and that it would be proper to decree that fabrication before the adoption of the new system of Finances; this was accordingly decreed, and the committee ordered to report the impression and value of the coin.
May 17.
Merchant Seamen's Office, May 7, 1795.
Meeting of the committee for encouraging the capture of French privateers—
Sir Richard Neave, Bart. in the chair;
Resolved, That Sir John Borlase Warren, Bart.
be requested by this Committee to accept of a Sword, value 100 guineas, as a testimony of their sense and acknowledgment of his active and vigilant exertions in the capture of French cruisers, and in the protection of the commerce of Great-Britain.
RICHARD, NEAVE, Chairman.
LIVERPOOL, June 1.
At a Canal meeting, recently held at Buxton, in Derbyshire, an American gentleman presented a plan for constructing an aqueduct of cast iron, which was immediately adopted, and ordered to be put in practice. This stupendous work is to cross the river Mersey, 90 feet above the water level, and 200 feet in width; which will present a scene not to be paralleled in Europe, of boats sailing 90 feet above the natural channel of the river. The project is reported to be a very important saving on stone aqueducts, and conducted with great ease in the most difficult situations.
There is now building and nearly finished, in the extensive Porter-Brewery of Messrs. Meux & Co. in Liquorpond Street, Gray's Inn, London, a Cask, so uncommonly large, that the following description of it, we would have scarcely credited, had it not been communicated by some gentlemen who took down its dimensions last week, in the presence of Mr. Meux himself:
Length 65 1-2 feet. Height 25 1-2 feet. Hoops 56
The least of which weighs 1 ton, and the largest 3 tons. It is formed of 314 staves of English oak, 2 1-2 inches thick; will contain above 20,000 barrels porter at 30s. each; has been four years building; and will cost upwards of 10,000l.
Its figure is in a small degree conical, and its base is supported by large beams. At the top a square aperture is left open, thro' which the workmen pass down into it, by means of a temporary stair case. A great number of candles and lamps are disposed about the inside, to light the different artificers employed therein. It excites a strange and novel sensation to stand on the top, and looking thro' the bung-hole, to view all the lights, scaffolding, and various workmen employed in the different parts of the vast cavity of this wonderful vessel. The workmen informed the gentlemen who communicated this account to us, that a person who went to see this extraordinary structure, having been conducted down into it without previously noticing the outside, after waiting some time, enquired which way he should proceed to see the large cask, having no idea that he was then standing in it.
The famous Tun of Heidelberg, Germany, which is said to contain 8000 hogheads of Rhenish wine, seems in this to be quite outdone by Old England.
PORTSMOUTH, May 18.
The Men of War with the East and West India Fleets under convoy, cleared St. Helens last night and this morning, with very little wind, which is since come round to the South West.
The following Force sailed under the Command of Admiral MAN, for the Mediterranean.
   Ships. Guns. Commanders.     Cumberland 74 Admiral Man.   Victory 110 Captain Rowley.   Zealous 74 Captain Knight.   Gibraltar 80 Maion.   Saturn 74 Pakenham.   Suffolk 74 J. Douglas.

Sheerness 44 Tripp.   La Sybille 40 Mackenzie.   Southampton 32 Cooke.   Bonetta 28 O'Brien.   Rodd.  
May 19.
Arrived the Hebe, Melampus, and another Frigate, with seven French Ships (their Prizes,) laden with flour, &c. They also took two more laden with naval stores, which they sent into Guernsey.
COPENHAGEN, April 25.
In consequence of the demand made by several of our merchants, it has been permitted to them to export the half of the oats and other grain in their magazines. They are obliged, however, to make oath, that this quantity has been brought before the 1st of April, and for the purpose of exportation.
For some weeks past our Bank Bills, which during the winter were 25 per cent. above par, were at a discount of 17 per cent. This fall, we trust, will not be of long continuance.
In consequence of the change which has taken place with respect to the war in the Northern part of Germany, the troops of Holstein are not to leave their quarters.
LEGHORN, April 7.
At Bastia, an embargo has been laid on every ship in port, by which it appears, that the English fleet has important motives to keep their situation and plan a profound secret. This order, however, created discontent among the merchants.
LONDON, May 20.
On Wednesday night Ministers received accounts from Paris of the 25th instant. A paper of that date states, that the principal authors and abettors of the late attack upon the Convention, having taken shelter in the Fauxbourg St. Antoine, one of the nurseries of insurrection since the commencement of the Revolution, an armed force of 50,000 men was drawn round this Fauxbourg to prevent escape, and the inhabitants compelled to deliver up all those against whom the Committee had information, who were tried, condemned and executed.
When the mob was besetting the Convention on the 20th, and calling for bread, and the Constitution of 1793, some of the most clamorous being asked by persons who went among them for the purpose of appeasing the ferment, whether they thought the Constitution of 1793, a granary that would afford perpetual abundance, answered, we don't know, we can't read.
Whatever may have been the intentions of the instigators of this tumult, it is worthy of remark, that Royalty is still a word of two bad repute in Paris to be employed, even as the cry of excitement among the most ignorant and the most distressed of the populace. The number of men who armed to
rescue the Convention is said to have been one hundred thousand; but as the mob is said to have been a million, the former is probably as much exaggerated as the latter must evidently be.
May 25.
There is much reason to fear that by the first intelligence from the Continent we shall be apprized of the surrender of Luxembourg; for according to the last accounts received from Gen. Clairfayt's army, the garrison of that fortress had no provisions for a longer term than the middle of this month.
Particulars of the assassination of Mr. Errington.
Mrs. Ann Broadric, who assassinated Mr. Errington on Friday the 15th ult. at his seat, near Grays, in the county of Essex, is a young lady of considerable accomplishments, a fine figure, and superior to the generality of her sex in personal charms. Three or four years after Mr. E.'s well known divorce from his abandoned wife, he addressed Mrs. Broadric with the utmost solicitude; but it is not true that he had seduced her, as she had previously lived with a Capt. Robinson. He lived with her three years with every appearance of domestic comfort. Mr. E. however, about twelve months ago, saw another beautiful object, possessed of a large fortune, to whom he transferred his affection, and after a little time he gave her his hand. On this he settled, what he deemed a suitable provision on Mrs. Broadric, stated to her explicitly the variation of his sentiments, and added that he could never see her more!—After the first agonies of her grief, she sent an affectionate remonstrance on his conduct, and requested, as the last boon, that he would grant her one interview. This was refused; she still persisted, by letters, to move him to grant her this last request; but finding him inexorable, she wrote him, "That if nothing could induce him to do this last act of common justice, he must prepare himself for the fatal alternative, as she was determined he should not survive his infidelity!"
Receiving no answer whatever, after a lapse of a month, she dressed herself elegantly very soon on the Friday morning, went to the Three Nuns Inn, in Whitechapel, and took a place in the South end coach, which passes very near Mr. E.'s house; she got out at the avenue gate, and in her way up, was recognized by Mr. E. who told his wife, that tormenting woman, Broadric, was coming but that he should soon get rid of her, if she, Mrs. E. would retire a few minutes; Mrs. E. however, did not consent to this, but prevailed upon her husband to go up stairs into the drawing room, and leave the interview to her management.
Mrs. B. being shown in, asked for Mr. E. she was told he was not at home: "I am not to be satisfied, Madam, replied Mrs. B. I know the ways of this house unfortunately too well, and therefore, with your leave, I'll search for him!" on which she rushed into the drawing room, and finding him there, she drew a small barrellled pistol with a new haggled flint, from her pocket; and presenting it at his left side, in a direction for his heart, exclaimed, "I am come, Errington, to fulfil my dreadful promise!" and instantly pulled the trigger; surprised at his not falling, she said, "Good God, I fear I have not dispatched you! but come, deliver me into the hands of justice!" Mrs. E. bursting into the room and seeing her husband bleeding, fainted away. Mr. E. now remonstrated with her, and asked her "how he had deserved this at her hands, after the care he had taken to settle her so comfortably in the world? To this she gave no other answer than a melancholy shake of her head.
Mr. Miller, a neighbouring surgeon, being called in, found that the ball had penetrated at the lower rib, cut three ribs asunder, and then passed round the back, and lodged under the shoulder bone, from whence every painful effort was made to extricate it, but in vain. Mr. Boulon, a magistrate, now came, who took the examination of Mr. E. after his wound was dressed. He asked Mrs. Broadric what could induce her to commit such an act of extreme violence? Her answer was, "That she was determined that neither Mr. E. nor herself should long outlive her lost peace of mind!"
Mr. E. entreated of the magistrate not to detain her in custody, but let her depart, as he was sure he would do well; but this request Mrs. B. refused to accept, and the magistrate to grant. Her commitment being made out, she was conveyed that evening to Chelmsford gaol, where she remained tolerably composed till she heard of Mr. E.'s death, when she burst into a flood of tears, and lamented bitterly that she had been the cause of his death.
The coroner's inquest sat on the body on Tuesday last, and brought in their verdict Wilful Murder by the hand of Ann Broadric .
She had no children by Mr. Errington, as erroneously stated in some of the papers. Mr. Errington was in the 39th year of his age, and possessed of a very large landed and personal property.
Yesterday some dispatches were received at the Admiralty-office, from Admiral Hotham, which are dated St. Florens harbour, April 17; at which time the squadron continued repairing the damage they received in the last engagement, and expected in a few days to be ready to put to sea again.
Letters, it is said, of the most humiliating nature, have lately been passing between the King of Prussia, and our Commander in Chief upon the Continent; this correspondence closed with one of the most imperious messages for our troops to leave their present position, ever sent from one Power to the servant of another.
His Prussian Majesty had issued a mandate prohibiting all exportation of grain from any of his ports, for any country, till six thousand lasts, which he has contracted to furnish France, be completed —a quantity, by the bye, which will more than take up all that can be spared from his own dominions. To this circumstance is to be attributed the orders issued to our cruisers, to bring into British ports, all vessels laden with grain for France, whatever may be the consequence.
The reports of Sir F. Eden having been at Paris is without foundation: he has been only at Brest and Dieppe; at the last of which places he was met by a Commissioner from the Convention.
On Friday his Majesty, besides receiving the soldiers of the guards as they landed in the most gra-
cious and paternal manner, conversing and shaking hands with many of them, gave to each man half a Crown.
By this Day's MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 13.
Capt. PAGE, in the ship Halcyon , exploring a passage from Botany-Bay for China, discovered a new Spice-Island, in the neighbourhood of New Guinea, which he took possession of in the name of the United States of America.
CHARLESTON, June 25.
Extract of a letter from Capt. William Hylsam, late of the ship Thomas , belonging to this port, dated Nassau, N. P. 10th June, 1795.
"I expect by this time you have heard of my being stopped by an armed banditti, headed by a Mr. Hunter, owner, and capt. Thurston, master, of the Dragon privateer. On the 18th of last month while my ship was under way to proceed to Charleston, they by force of arms took full possession of her: I immediately with my crew, left the ship to them. I shall proceed with all possible dispatch to Charleston, with such documents as will fully explain this unprecedented business."
PHILADELPHIA, July 14.
Mr. FENNO.
TRAVELLERS from the East, West, North and South, lately arrived here, say, that by estimation 30,000 copies of the Treaty, struck off in the Aurora office, have been dispatched by express to every quarter of the Union, and have been sold at 25 cents each—some as high as 50 cents.
Query—What proportion of the profits of this speculation ought to be paid to the providore of Mr. Esche's office, to compensate him for those "wounds which never close," received in stealing a march on the Senate ?
This day is the anniversary of the grand confederation of the French in the Champ de Mars—when the people took the oath to the Nation, the Law, and the King; and the King swore to support the liberties of the people.
Last year this anniversary was celebrated by the then minister of France.
Yesterday morning the President of the United States, his Lady, and family, left town, on a journey to Mount Vernon.

"It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of her friend. The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, fearfully, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, April 14, 1795.
Proposals will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue for building a LIGHT HOUSE , on Sequin Island , near the mouth of Kennebec River , in the State of Maine , of the following materials, dimensions and description.
The form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be eight feet to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth, and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the person or persons who will be responsible for the materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart beam timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base thereof where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron straps built therein and afterward. The height of the wooden building from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be canted with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, bedded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron lantern in the octagonal form is to be reared thereon; the eight corner pieces or pannels of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These pannels are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the pannels to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be mounted on the inside and struck fold. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the south-west side to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel; thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be 4 pairs of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance to the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete.

The cellar walls to be eighteen inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House to be seven feet and one half in the clear. The roof to have a rectangular pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a fitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet joining the ends of the Kitchen and fitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and fitting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bedroom.
