Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, July 23.
The French have it obviously in their power to make peace, and to make alliances with any of the powers on the Continent that they please, and having no longer any enemy to dread, or to care for, but the English, they may, and naturally will, lay all their plans, and direct all their efforts against England only.
Let us look at their strength in the month of July, 1794, and what it was in the corresponding month, in 1793. At that time the Allies were seemingly in perfect union, in great force, and they had succeeded in all their operations.
Such was their condition in July, 1793! View them in July 1794. The frontier towns all in their hands, together with their garrisons and magazines. Flanders and its harvest added to their own; and such a harvest as will enable them to spare out of their abundant crops to the wants of other nations.
Surely then we ought to pause, and before new declarations are issued of pertinaciously continuing the war, we ought to enquire what we are likely to suffer by the miscarriage, what to obtain by the success of the Crusade?
Let this single question be considered in all its aspects, and let it be demanded whether the intemperance of our cabinet, is to be preferred to the permanent interests of Englishmen.
It is to Mr. Fox alone—to that rational statesman, who with his usual consistent and manly spirit, has kept clear of all the toils in which his alarmed friends have been caught—that we can look for a happy and honorable termination of the war.
ODE On the Revolution of France—Written by Mrs. MARKIS, and recited by Mr. MARKIS, at the Old American Theatre on Monday evening last.
Blefs'd be the Cause that set a nation free, That dash'd fell despotism to the ground, That crush'd the pow'r that only serv'd to wound, And gave the sons of France sweet Liberty!
From a late London Paper. THEATRE, Drury-Lane. Fete of Triumph and Benevolence.
With a most honorable zeal for the fame of the British Navy, the Managers of this Theatre prepared the most superb and interesting spectacle that any English Theatre ever exhibited.
After the Comedy of the Country Girl, in which for this occasion Mrs. Jordan sprung from her retreat with an alacrity that does credit to her heart, and tho' oppressed by a cold that made her voice quite hoarse, enchanted the house by her acting;
We then come to the Glorious Fift of June, and such a scene the Theatre never exhibited. The immense space of Drury is turned into a sea, and the two fleets are seen manoeuvring.
Yet then shall calm reflection bles the night, When liberal pity, dignified delight, When pleasure fir'd her torch at Virtue's flame, And mirth was bounteous with an humbler name.
The scene of rejoicing is rapturous. There are all kinds of frolics and mirth delights itself in a thousand whimsical ways, truly characteristic of the buxom humor of Englishmen.
We have been favored with the following Songs, which were received with the loudest applause.
SONG—Mr. BANNISTER. By the Duke of Leeds.
O'er the vast surface of the deep, Britain shall still her empire keep, Her Heav'n-defended charter, long The favorite theme of Glory's song,
SONG—Mr. SEDGWICK. By the Earl of Mulgrave.
Our line was form'd, the French lay to, One jig I gave to Poll on shore, Too cold I thought our last adieu—Our parting kisses seem'd so few,
CHORUS. Now (danger past) we'll drink and joke Sing, "Rule, Britannia; Hearts of Oak!"
III. Farewell to every sea delight, The cruise with eager watchful days, The faithful chance by glim'ring night,
Yet Polly's love and constancy, With prattling babes more joy shall bring, Proud when my boys shall first at sea Follow Great Horne to Victory!
CHORUS. The danger past we'll drink and joke Sing, "Rule, Britannia; Hearts of Oak!"
ADDRESS Delivered by GOVERNOR MIFFLIN to the Officers of the militia and Citizens of Lancaster County, at Lancaster on the 26th of September.
FELLOW CITIZENS, I THANK you sincerely for your compliance with the invitation to meet me at this time.
The subject is so interesting, and the sources of information are so numerous, that you are doubtless apprised of the disgraceful events which have recently occurred in that quarter.
The insurgents, vainly presuming upon their own prowess, or upon the intolent hope that a competent force would not be sent against them, have hitherto indulged the spirit of outrage, without remorse or restraint.
But, my fellow-citizens, you have not been intimidated by their violence, nor will you be betrayed by their arts: The President's declaration, that you are satisfied with the nature and extent of the submission to government, is the only thing that can now dispense with our exertions;
Regarding the subject in this interesting point of view, Gentlemen, that lawless perseverance of the insurgents cannot fail to excite the most painful sensations; for, the strong sense of duty, which we owe to our country, to posterity, and to ourselves, will not permit us, under such circumstances, to indulge those feelings of affection and attachment, which have hitherto guided our conduct towards our deluded fellow citizens.
I have heard, Gentlemen, that with respect to the policy of those acts of Congress, against which the rage of the insurgents is ostensibly directed, as well as with respect to many other objects of legislation, a diversity of opinion exists among our fellow citizens.
But I think no diversity of opinion can exist, in an enlightened Republican community, with respect to the necessity of obeying them, while they continue, as much as any other act, as much as any treaty, or even as much as the constitution itself, the law of the land.
Reflect, for a moment on the fatal consequences of a contrary doctrine, upon our public and private prosperity. Suppose the inhabitants of the populous cities throughout the continent, were to refuse to pay the impost.
But if a law may be forcibly opposed, because it is supposed to be a bad law, it is a very serious enquiry, how far the example will betray the safety of individuals, and the security of property.
But to every candid mind, it must be evident, that the present question is not confined to the policy of any acts of Congress, but involves the very existence of our government.
Regarding the subject in this interesting point of view, Gentlemen, that lawless perseverance of the insurgents cannot fail to excite the most painful sensations; for, the strong sense of duty, which we owe to our country, to posterity, and to ourselves, will not permit us, under such circumstances, to indulge those feelings of affection and attachment, which have hitherto guided our conduct towards our deluded fellow citizens.

by fires; the armed combination that marches with military parade, thro' the country; the expulsion of every avowed friend to government; the seizure of the public mail; the insults offered to our Commissioners; and the threats of establishing an independent state, or of returning to the allegiance to Great Britain; are circumstances calculated not only to rouse an honest indignation, but to awaken suspicion of a deep and latent treachery.
It is time, therefore, my fellow-citizens, that the government, and every friend to Law and order, should prepare to suppress, by the most effectual means, the tyranny that is attempted to be established by a few over the many; by a part of the community over the whole. The citizens of our sister states are already in arms. Your brethren of the city and county of Philadelphia are already on their march. The quota of Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Bucks, are eagerly preparing. Arms, ammunition, camp equipage and provision, are plentifully provided. The legislature has passed a law to raise the pay, and to allow a bounty, to those who are destined for the present service; and of such critical importance is the object universally deemed, that an association of patriotic persons has been formed in Philadelphia, for the purpose of raising subscriptions to provide for the families of the militia of the city who shall be employed in the expedition.
But, indeed, there is scarce a principle that can actuate a benevolent and patriotic mind, which does not concur in recommending at this time the most firm and energetic measures. To assist in suppressing so violent a breach of the public peace, is only an act of duty, in every good citizen; to shew our determination to punish every obstinate delinquent, may save our humanity the pain of doing it; and if the militia of Pennsylvania shall evince, not only their disposition, but their power, to aid the civil authority in executing the law, the man of peace, as well as the patriot, will be relieved from the apprehensions of a bloody scene, for the introduction of a standing army.
Let us look back my fellow-citizens, but a few years scarcely more than the term allotted for the life of an individual, and we shall be amazed at the prosperity of our country, and ashamed at the ingratitude of many popular discontent. It is but little more than a century, since our ancestors formed the enterprise of settling in America; and some have but just quitted this worldly scene, who remembered when our capital, was distinguished only by a few Indian huts, and our best cultivated farms were a wilderness. Our fathers were compelled to constant labor, and exposed to constant danger. The hope of transmitting influence and tranquility to their posterity was their greatest consolation; and with what a quick, with how great a transition, it is realized. Scarce an Indian habitation within our territory; the comforts of life flow in abundance through the channels that industry can invent; our agriculture commerce and mechanics, already rival the ancient establishments of Europe; our attainments in the arts and sciences are celebrated throughout the world; in questions of religion we have given the first example of universal toleration; and as a government the American Republic stands unrivaled by any ancient, modern, political fabric. Is this a situation to be made the sport of lawless fury? What can the most visionary character expect again by a change? Is not every man that is honest, safe; is not every man that is industrious, comfortable? These questions are the touchstone of social happiness; and into other country but ours, can they at this time be fairly answered in the affirmative.
Reflect, then, my fellow-citizens, upon the awful crisis we are in, but encounter it with fortitude. Of the various descriptions of the people that constitute the American nation, none have contributed more to its honor and opulence than the Germans; and one have a greater stake in preserving its government and laws from destruction. The mischief has already gone so far, as to check the spirit of emigration from the distracted countries of Europe, our hitherto tempting shores; and in proportion to that effect, to any apparent want of disposition to support our constitution any defect of power to protect our laws, and to any hazard in the possession of our estates, must be the diminution of the value of labor and privilege, that is due to man, in his separate or in his social character.
To you gentlemen, who belong to the militia, I now particular address myself to the conduct of the militia of Pennsylvania, the President's action, the attention of all the citizens of the Union, is anxiously directed. I have pledged myself, that they will now upon every former occasion, manifest their zeal and spirit, in the cause of their country. What say you for yourselves? Will you save your constitution? Will you defend your laws? Will you assist to rescue from anarchy, as you did from despotism, the freedom and independence of America? To these questions you will answer, as every patriotic citizen has answered: you will, with one voice, enable me to assure the militia of the other counties, that you will cheerfully
united with them in protecting our government from violence, and our militia from reproach.
Is this, then, your resolution? If it is I beseech you declare it: fix the day when your quota will be ready to muster and march to the place of rendezvous on the succeeding day.
PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 1.
Extract of a letter, dated Port de Paix 9th Thermidor, 2d year of the French republic from Stephen Laveaux, governor general for the time being to the French consul at Charleston S. C.
"Let me inform you that every thing which has been sent us in consequence of the mission for that purpose has safely arrived in port. The first person who appeared on our coast was captain Herieux. I cannot express to you the joy with which that worthy republican was received among us. Carvin and the others arrived a few days after. The manner in which Carvin delivered us the patriotic gifts sent by our brethren at Charleston excited feelings which none but the Sans Culottes know how to estimate, and to complete our good fortune 1600 barrels of flour which had been sent us by the minister Fanchet also arrived just at the same time. Judge what is the satisfaction the joy which now pervades the garrison, in addition to that ardor which you know is the preface of those victories which we promise you. Yes, my brave Sans Culottes, by the time you arrive we shall have destroyed a great number of the slaves of tyranny. I feel that upon the certainty of this how impatient you are to be among us; know that you are also wished for by us."
"Inform all the good Frenchmen, who are at Charleston, that we will entirely drive from this part of the world, those cowards who in the month of January last, offered us gold in the expectation that by these means they might not have to fight with us—they shall retreat before us, be assured of it, in the same manner as they have always done ever since we have been fortunate enough to meet with them. Adieu! We impatiently expect you to join in giving them the final overthrow."
"Give our most sincere thanks to all the Sans Culottes at Charleston—tell them that in assisting us they serve the French republic."
Letter from an officer in Gen. Wayne's army Camp, Junction of the Maumee and Auglaize, 31st Aug. 1764.
"So far our operations have succeeded beyond our expectations. The troops, on the 20th inst. behaved remarkably well. The enemy did not stand one moment before us. I suppose there were about 1000 against us, and no more. We have not seen or heard any thing of them since. These people appear to live in the greatest plenty; the vast quantity of corn and vegetables they can form no idea of; but I think they must be greatly distressed the ensuing winter, as we are burning and destroying everything before us. You will have the particulars in the General's letters. Our future operations I can give no account of."
THE BYSTANDER.
ON Friday evening THE OLD AMERICAN COMPANY gave a treat that proved very gratifying to a numerous and most respectable assemblage, by the representation of that much admired Comedy, The Young Quaker , the production of the pen of that celebrated author O'KEEFE of eccentric memory.
The writer would reprove his own feelings could he niggardly deny to the Performers respectively, his unlimited approval—Every character seemed so natural to the genius of each, individually, as if the author had had them in his eye. Without any invidious discrimination of any, it may be justly applied, they all performed unexceptionably. But let not the Theatrical corps presume that the Bystander in thus awarding his tribute of praise, prohibits his judgment in giving it awc —he reminds them of the Poet who says, it is sometimes like,
"A blockhead's flattery, Whose praise defames—as if a fool should mean, By spitting on my face to make it clean."
The Midnight Hour was certainly better performed than at the former representation, but still, more point, is justifiably recommended in the disposition of the varied situations to render the Plot apparently intricate to the audience.
"It is well known that O'Keefe was blind, it was the immortal Milton, yet he humorously used to say he possessed 'a mental eye'."
dience—The Performers themselves know well the intention of an author—but if not justly developed, it will seem to the company that embarrassment succeeds embarrassment.
On Monday evening was represented the Tragedy of the Fair Penitent and as usual when Mrs. Melmoth has the leading character the house was filled at an early hour—The Bystander forbears dictating on any particular passage wherein the most excelled, not coming within the limits of a newspaper; and he is persuaded from what he saw, that the attendants of the Theatre are capable of feeling and judging of her excellencies—Mrs. Marriot is the most elegant figure that the Theatre has produced within his memory—her plaintive and soothing voice was charmingly adapted to the character of Lavinia —and Horatio , by Mr. Hodgkinson, was, if possible, an improvement on the virtuous Horatio —Praise is equally due to Messrs. Marriot, Hallam, King, &c.
The Comic Opera of No Song so Supper succeeded, and the public have to congratulate themselves that a more delicious after-piece was never seen, or perhaps equally well performed in this city. Mr. Prigmore looked divertingly ridiculous in Crop , particularly in the scene when he is unmasked. It is to be wished such characters were always so treated in real life.
The Bystander particularly notices the reliability of the audience at the ringing of the bell previous to drawing up of the curtain—He must overcome his modesty when he puts the managers in mind that it resembles much the sound of a Jersey Coo bell !

EASTON, Sept. 23. From Correspondents.
The public will not mistake the solemn point in issue between government and the insurgents. It is not whether the Excise law is a good one—it is, will freemen support their laws and the theory of their own government—By that Theory the government can alter or repeal any bad law—but arms and force cannot—even if victorious the law and the government—but never could repeal or alter a letter of any law. If force of arms can repeal law, it can convert a free representative government into a despotism. Reason formed, and must support the gift.
If the excise is a bad tax—it is bad because it does not suit all the people of the United States or a majority of them. There is a clear way open by which the knowledge of the interests of the majority can be obtained. Congress are not in love with the excise, and will repeal it if the majority call for its repeal. There is a way of altering a house without pulling its foundation away.
Cannon & Co. say they will use all their endeavours legally to obstruct the Excise law —What a pity it is that when this glorious country affords an asylum for all sorts of outlandish foreigners they should not understand something of its government and municipal regulations before they attempt to reform them—at least they ought to learn the language of the country before they make it the miserable mangled vehicle of sedition and treason—Legally to obstruct a law is a solecism beneath the capacity of a school-boy—much more of the lowest pedagogue.
Mr. Gallatin seems at length to have distinguished very justly between the constitutional right of petitioning, and the unconstitutional violence of sedition—How easily will any right either of a political or a civil nature degenerate into its abuse and into a wrong, if intemperately or viciously exercised. The conduct of this gentleman, who in vain, though eloquently, addressed the men whose committee-man he had just before been, recommending peace and order and submission to laws, proves that every man of sense in this country ought to beware of first steps—ought to be slow and temperate in the examination of political questions—and virtuously cautious in delivering his opinions among those whom Providence may not have blest with extensive knowledge. Republics have been often compared to the ocean, grand and sublime, but subject to storms—and the government to a ship—If those who raise tempests in a Republic were gifted with infinite Wisdom, as that power is who rules the ocean and all nature, we might not have much to fear—but man, weak man, raises storms without the power of making them to cease!
CHARLESTON, Sept. 19.
Extract from the log book of the snow Nancy , Capt. John A. Clark, from the Havana now in the road.
July 26. We spoke the Guillotine privateer, Capt. Prunier, who took our men and kept us in great distress for 15 hours, unflown our hold, seized our water, and used us in a most piratical manner. On the 27th they took the Nancy , of Providence; on the 28th they took the ship Sandown , Capt. Apley, bound to London, richly loaded with West-India produce, from Kingston. The officers and crew of
both vessels, with six Spaniards, they put on board of us to carry to the Havana, where we arrived the 2d of Aug. On the 7th the snow and her prize were brought in by the sloop of war, the Scorpion , Capt. Thomas Western. Three Americans, among them was Capt. Earl, second Captain of the Guillotine , were sent to England in the Alligator frigate.
August 28. On the afternoon of Monday we had a dreadful hurricane, which continued with strong gales and heavy rain until Thursday night, the consequences of which were dreadful; upwards of 64 sail were all ashore, most of which fell victims to the wind and sea. The Alfred , of Bristol, of 16 guns, Capt. Scott, with 230 hogheads of molasses, bound for Charleston, was totally lost; the Sukee , of Philadelphia, and a sloop of Charleston, were both ashore, but got off with little damage; the vessels that suffered most were Spanish; two king's vessels were on shore, the San Pete 74, and the San Gabriel , of 100 guns, besides a number of armed sloops and brigs; in the city its effects were equally felt, upwards of 30 houses being levelled with the ground.
In the lat. 31. 12. in 8 fathoms water, we were brought to and boarded by the Jou Jou privateer, Capt. Brown, who after searching us found 12,000 dollars, which they took on suspicion of being Spanish property.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 29.
We have melancholy accounts of the sickness and mortality in some parts of Duchess and other counties in this state.
Surrounded thus with contagious diseases it behoves the Magistracy and citizens of New-York to take every precaution for cleaning the city, and guarding it from infection. We are happy to find, the city continues most remarkably healthy.
In New-Haven we are sorry to hear, the disease is spreading.
The following Paragraphs are taken from the Boston Independent Chronicle .
MR. JAY'S MISSION.
A letter from a Merchant of the first respectability in London, says, "that Mr. Jay, will have a knotty affair in the settlement of American claims; and observes further, that an advertisement appeared in the English papers requesting the London Merchants to make out an account of their losses, against the Americans, sustained in the late war with that country."
Another letter mentions that we are indebted to the successes of the French, should any indemnification be made to the Americans, and that but for the rapid success of the French, Mr. Jay would never have been permitted to negotiate. That the Merchants of England were coolly received by the Ministry, on their application for indemnification, but that the successes of France had given a more favorable turn to American affairs.
We are sorry to inform the public, that 60 sail of American vessels, and 150 sail of Danes and Swedes, have been captured by the British and carried into Guernsey, where they remained at the date of the last London accounts.
The ship Barclay , Capt. Swain, arrived at Boston, on the 24th ult. in 38 days from London.

On a Master Carpenter, written by his Companion.
Fell'd by death's surer Hatchet, here lies STRONG,
Who many a sturdy oak has laid along, Posts oft he made, yet ne'er a place could get,
And liv'd by raling tho' he had no w't. Old since he had, altho' no antiquarian, And Stiles corrected, yet was no Grammarian.
Long liv'd he Oakham's premier Architect,
And lasting as his Fame a tomb t' erect,
In vain we seek an artist such as he, Whose Poles and Gates were for eternity.
So here he rests from all life's toils and follies, Oh! spare kind heaven his fellow-lab'rer. HOLLIS.

The TRIAL
OF
Maurice Margarot,
Before the High Court of Judiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIOUS PRACTICES.
Of the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of criminal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this certainly is most entitled to universal perusal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the latent views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontrovertibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashioned attachment to the laws or the constitution. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest trials we know of, unqualified even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional knowledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt government.

SOCIETY
FOR THE
INFORMATION & ASSISTANCE
OF
EMIGRANTS.
WHOEVER reflects upon the various causes of emigrations from Europe to the United States of America, must be convinced;—Whoever has the opportunity of appealing to his own experience must know—that many of those who emigrate, although frequently endowed with talents and virtues the most valuable, arriving on an unknown shore, bereft of the means of support, and destitute of friends to whom to apply for advice or assistance, are lost for a time to society and to themselves. With a view to lessen, or totally to obviate these inconveniences, (which from present appearances, are likely to increase) to render emigration as advantageous as possible, both to the emigrants themselves, and to the country that affords them refuge—to give them every information & assistance in our power;—in short, to soften the asperities of the stranger's situation, at his first-settling in a new country, we, the subscribers have associated ourselves under the title of
"The Philadelphia Society for the Information and Assistance of Persons emigrating from Foreign Countries." And have adopted the following CONSTITUTION:
CONSTITUTION:
1. THE officers shall consist of a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and a Committee of Conference and Correspondence, to be elected (by ballot) every six months.
2. The President, and in his absence, the Vice-President shall preside in all the meetings; and subscribe all the public acts of the Society. If neither of them are present, a Chairman shall be chosen for the time being.
3. The Treasurer shall take charge of all the monies and securities belonging to the Society; and shall pay all orders signed by the President, Vice-President, or in their absence, by the Chairman of the Committee; which orders shall be his vouchers for his expenditures. He shall, before he enters upon his office, give such security as the Society may require.
4. The Secretary shall keep fair records of the proceedings of the Society, and also of the Committee.
5. The Committee of Conference and Correspondence, shall consist of seven members; of whom the Secretary, for the time being, shall be one. They shall transact such business as may occur in the recess of the Society; be empowered to draw upon the Treasurer for such sums of money as may be necessary to carry on the business of their appointment; and call in aid of a Physician when necessary.
6. Every person, previous to his being admitted a member, shall be proposed at a monthly meeting; and be balloted for on the ensuing. On his admission, he shall subscribe the constitution of the Society, and pay into the hands of the treasurer not less than the sum of one dollar; subscribing annually one dollar, at quarterly payments towards the necessary expenses of the Society. The Secretary shall give notice to each member who may be more than one quarter in arrears, requesting payment; which, if he neglect for more than one year, he shall, upon due notice being given him, cease to be a member.
7. The Society shall meet on the first Thursday day, called Wednesday, in every month, at such place as may be agreed upon by a majority. Quarterly meetings shall be held on the same days in January, April, July, and October; when each member shall pay his subscription; and all accounts of the society shall be adjusted. On the requisition of six members, the President shall call a special meeting. All which meetings shall be advertised in the public papers. No less than ten members shall be a quorum.
8. No law, or alteration of the constitution shall be made without being proposed at a previous meeting. All questions shall be decided, where there is a division of votes by a majority of votes; when the Society is equally divided, the presiding officer shall have a casting vote.
It will appear evident, that the usefulness of this institution, can only be proportionate to its numbers and respectability. The present Members therefore solicit signatures and subscriptions of those Citizens, whose sentiments and wishes upon this subject are in unison with their own; which purpose, a Book is now left at Pearse's, No. 45, South Third Street.
N. B. The FIRST QUARTER MEETING will be held on Wednesday Evening next, at six o'clock, in Sharp's School Room, Fromberger's Court, N. Second Street, at which time the Society will proceed to the election of the Office.

Another parcel of land, within a mile of Alexandria, containing about 24 acres, and to be sold in acre or half-acre lots.
Also, sundry unimproved lots or various sizes, in different part of the town of Alexandria.
To describe the premises more particularly is deemed unnecessary, as it is expected every person will examine and view whatever part he shall be inclined to buy. My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling many or such parts of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the day of August next, and at the time of deferring possession or executing a legal conveyance. The lands remaining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and leased for a term of years, from the 22nd day of October next, till the 15th of December, I shall be in the city of Richmond, and at that time I shall remain at home, in Alexandria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particulars, and to enter into contracts. Alexandria, July 28.
