From the Virginia Gazette.
Presentments of the Grand Jury of Chatham County, in the state of Georgia, the 9th ult. on the subject of the sale of the western territory of that state.
THE Grand Jury are sorry there should be occasion to bring forward any matters as grievances; but it becomes a more painful task to them when they feel themselves under the necessity of reprobating public measures. At the same time, the duty they owe to their country, and the oath they have taken, compel them to bring into the view of their fellow-citizens, all such matters as they conceive will have a tendency to injure the community, and to express their sense of the same in plain, decent, and firm language.
We therefore, the Grand Jurors for the county of Chatham, without fear, favor, affection, or hope of reward, do on our oaths present the following as grievances:—
1st. We present, as a grievance of the highest magnitude, the act passed at the last meeting of the Legislature at Augusta, entitled "An act supplementary to an act for appropriating a part of the western territory of the state, and for other purposes therein mentioned, &c." as, in our opinions, replete with ill consequences to this state, for the following reasons: 1st. Because the sale of the said territory at this time will in all probability involve this state in disputes with the neighbouring tribes of Indians, and may eventually engage her in a war with them. 2dly. Because, by postponing the sale of the territory to a future day, those difficulties with respect to the Indians might in a great measure have been removed. 3dly. Because we conceive that, was it good policy to sell the territory at this time (which we cannot assent to) the sale ought not to have been continued to a few Companies, but made as diffusive as possible, as monopolies have ever been considered contrary to the spirit of free governments, highly injurious, and tending to enrich a few monied men to the exclusion of the people in general. 4thly. Because we conceive that, by selling the territory to Companies, it has not brought so good a price as it would otherwise have done had it have been laid out into allotments, and proper notice given that a sale would take place of those lands, which we understand has been the practice of some of our sister states, who have derived very great advantages by adopting that mode of disposing of their territory; and we may reasonably conclude that, had our Legislature fallen upon a similar plan of selling the western territory of this state, it would have brought into the Treasury such an amazing sum, as in all probability, by proper management, and in the common course of things, would have relieved this state from taxes for ever: Besides, by opening the door to all purchasers, the poor, who ought to be attended to by all governments, would have had an opportunity of purchasing a few acres of land for their families, and thereby sharing, though in a small degree, in those advantages which a sale of so large a body of territory would have produced; the minds of the people would have been satisfied, and all those good consequences have resulted which generally do from public measures founded on policy and equal justice. 5thly. Because for that most excellent reason assigned by his Excellency the Governor, on his rejecting the first bill, "That if public notice was given that the land was for sale, the rivalry in purchasers would most probably have increased the sums offered;" and which, with his other reasons, we sincerely lament he did not adhere to when the second bill was offered for his approbation.
We consider the reserve of two millions of acres of our own land, to be subscribed for by the citizens under the conditions prescribed by the law, to be adding insult to injury, those lands being no object to the citizens at large, and will not amount, by a calculation made, to more than 250 acres to each man in this county. And by the clause in the said law it appears that the whole of the 170,000 acres allotted to this county are open to the speculation of any individual who may be disposed to purchase in 34 shares, which at 5000 acres each share, will be found to amount to the above mentioned quantity of acres, but which, if not paid for, is by the said clause to revert to the companies, without any emolument to the state.
The Grand Jury, upon inspecting the Judiciary Law, find a clause in the same, pointing out the method of foreclosing mortgages, as follows: "The person or persons entitled to foreclose a mortgage, or his or their Attorney,
shall petition the Superior Court of the county where such mortgaged property may be, &c." which said clause in the law must have been founded on that clause in the Constitution which expressly declares, "That all cases of real estate shall be tried in the county where the said estate lies." And altho' it appears that a clause in the act for selling part of the western territory repeals the aforesaid clause in the Judiciary Law, pointing out the method for foreclosing mortgages in the said law, which declares, "That the mortgages on the said lands sold to the Companies shall, in default of the payment, be immediately foreclosed in the Superior Court of any county within the state of Georgia, any law or usage regulating the mode of foreclosing mortgages to the contrary notwithstanding," yet, while that clause remains in the Constitution which declares, "That all cases of real estates shall be tried in the counties where such estate lies," we do not see how those mortgages can be foreclosed in the Superior Court of any county in the state; and as there is no county laid out within that territory sold to the Companies, how the mortgages are to be foreclosed where such land and real estate lies.
The Grand Jury do not take upon themselves to determine whether the act is Constitutional or not, but beg leave to observe, that all the rights and powers not particularly expressed in the Constitution are retained to the people; nor do they conceive that the framers of the Constitution possibly could have had in contemplation that any Legislature would have adopted such a mode of disposing of our territories.
With respect to the different offers made by the Companies, it appears to us that it would have been more for the interest of the state had the highest offer made been accepted, that of eight hundred thousand dollars, by which means the state would have been a gainer of three hundred thousand dollars, more especially as the Company made an offer of increasing the deposit to forty thousand dollars, and, in case of default in payment in December next, to forfeit the same, and declared that they did not wish to have a grant till they had fully completed the whole payment. 'Tis true a part of their deposit consisted of bills of exchange, with good endorsements, but if we are rightly informed, upwards of eleven thousand dollars were actually deposited, which would have been a considerable sum to forfeit, nor is it reasonable to suppose that they would have forfeited it, but if they had have done so the land would in that case have reverted to the state.
We return our thanks to the minority of the last General Assembly for their steady and upright conduct in attempting and using their best endeavours to support the rights of their fellow-citizens, and with them those pleasing sensations ever attendant on a conscientious discharge of duty.
We consider the holding of Courts in some counties, and not in others, as highly injurious to the citizens of this state, as it may so happen that a person may have a judgment or judgments obtained against him in the county where a Court is held, and have his whole property torn from him, when at the same time he may have a large sum due him in the counties where Courts are not held; and therefore we recommend that if there is not any law authorizing the Governor to appoint Judges to hold Courts in case of the indisposition of his Honor the Judge, such a law may be passed, at the meeting of the next legislature, so that an equal distribution of justice may take place throughout the whole state.
The Grand Jury consider their having been obliged to animadvert on the last act of the General Assembly, for the disposal of the vacant territory, as a very disagreeable task, but in doing so, they can truly say they have endeavoured, as far as possible, in expressing their sentiments, to avoid inuendo; but were Grand Juries to be silent on such an occasion, one had law after another might be passed, till the good people of this state might labor under that worst of all oppressions, legal oppression, or, in other words oppressive laws passed by our Representatives;—and further observe that as it is their duty, so it is their wish, that unanimity and good order may generally prevail throughout this state, and do recommend to their fellow citizens due obedience to the laws, and always to bear in mind that a majority must govern in legislative proceedings and that the only proper way is to proceed by way of petition or remonstrance for redress of all grievances, otherwise they will not make a proper use of the blessings of a liberal government, upon which they cannot set too great a value.
We recommend that his honor the Judge charge, together with these our presentments, be published in the Gazette of this state and laid before the Convention & our next Legislature for their serious consideration.

From the Minerva.
THE blasphemous publication of Bolanger, mentioned in the Minerva, some days ago, represents the Christian religion as the source of persecution, cruelty, hypocrisy, was, murders, bigotry, and every species of crimes. The writer will not admit that these consequences flow from the corruptions of that system, but he asserts that they proceed from the very spirit of the religion. He says, in the name of the God of the Christians, the most shocking crimes have been committed, and under the pretext of bringing peace on earth, that religion has overwhelmed it with hatred, discord and war.
Unluckily for the democrats who are industriously circulating this book, as a most convincing work, we have an example precisely in point to demonstrate the fallacy and the falsehood of all the impious assertions of the French atheistical author. It is admitted, that religion has been made the pretext for innumerable wars, persecutions, murders, assassinations, and every crime that can enter the heart of man. Christians and Mahometans in this have agreed, to make the cause of God the stalking horse to drive their trade of war, and butchery. But it is not the spirit nor principle of christianity to persecute or make war; on the other hand, its precepts are all directed to discountenance all wars, all persecutions, all inhumanity, and to encourage every generous forgiving and benevolent affection.
The real history of the business is most admirably illustrated by the history of patriotism in France, during the present revolution. The patriots of France pulled down the old despotism, as christianity destroyed paganism; but more violently and suddenly. The patriots of France, when they had removed their old masters, set up for masters themselves and became the most cruel oppressors. The first christians were honest well-meaning men; but it was soon found, that the new religion was a popular thing; the profession of it led to power and eminence—it became the stalking horse of ambition—men, who had their own purposes to serve, found it very convenient to mask their avaricious views under the cloak of religion—they therefore made a great outcry about religion! religion, the cause of God is in danger—by perpetually harping on this string, the hypocrites deceived the populace with their pretensions to piety—while they were amassing wealth, or stepping into power—in short the whole system of human absurdities and despotism, as practiced in the dark ages of Europe, was built on the credulity of the people, who suffered themselves to be duped with the cry of religion—religion.
The same game is still played, with less success. The Catholics, in the wars of the league in France, were used by the Guises and Catherine, to cut the throats of protestants—not that the Guises cared a six-pence about religion; but they found it convenient to arm the prejudices of the populace, by a cry of holy religion, merely to answer their purposes of pride, ambition, revenge, and hatred to rival families. The present coalition of kings against France preach religion too; though every one knows the very men who preach thus, are atheists. It is only a pretext to cover their ambition or their dread of an overthrow of all royalty and nobility.
Thus patriotism is a lobby horse with modern ambition, to ride into power and office. The Jacobins in France were mighty staunch patriots—they preached patriotism, patriotism, till they drew the people about them, in a mass—by this means, they raised themselves to power, and exercised over the poor credulous people, more despotism than ever Charles the IX did over the wretched protestants. Patriotism, patriotism, was the cry, while the monarchs, who assumed the epithet, were persecuting and butchering every one who opposed them. The ancient persecutors cried, christians! fanatics?—the cause of the Gods is in danger—down with these fanatics! Then began the rack, the flake and the cross to torment poor christians!
The modern persecutors, the Popes! Cardinals, &c. cried out heretics! heretics! Then began the gibbet and inquisition! The Jacobins cry, Aristocrats! Royalists! liberty is in danger! down with aristocrats! then app-ar scaffolds, guillotines, and executioners.
These causes are essentially and exactly analogous. Religion was only a stalking horse formerly, as patriotism is now, to drive the trade of getting rid of rivals, or displacing others to make room for ourselves. But the fault is not in religion nor in patriotism; the fault is in the hypocrites who dupe the people by mere names and pretensions.
If a man wants popular favor to give him an office, or custom in his business;—whether he wants to obtain a seat in the legislature or in Congress; or whether he wants to establish a newspaper, or draw round him a crowd of customers; he must set up the cry of patriotism, republicanism, democracy, or whatever else will answer his views. He cares not a farthing what the watchword is; but whatever is the popular cant, he will join in it; and the louder he bellows, the more likely he is to succeed for the moment. It is however an infallible rule, that the man, that the man who has recourse to these despicable expedients, has very little but noise and show to recommend him.
Real patriotism, and real religion are good things; and nothing does so much homage to them, as the assiduity of knaves and hypocrites to be thought men of virtue and public spirit. But it is a fact that ought to be constantly observed, that men of real religion, and real patriotism, never boast of possessing them. They are silent on the subject, and leave their actions to proclaim their principles. This remark will never deceive the people. The patriotism of modern times is justly to be suspected—it is too violent—too over zealous to be sincere. It resembles the warm and intolerant zeal of religious bigots who wish to crush heretics. Real patriotism, like real religion is tolerant: It boasts no pre-eminence or superiority, over a neighbor as principles: It gives another no uneasiness about his opinions—it cares not what a man thinks, provided he obeys the laws. False patriotism, on the other hand, arrogates uncommon merit to itself: It assumes a tone of superiority and intolerance; and boasts of its excellence.
The false patriot places himself in a corner, secluded from others, and "thanks God he is not like other men."
False religion erects gibbets and stakes for heretics, and calls every one a heretic that is out of the pale of a particular Church. It condemns to hell all but a few chosen people who happen to think alike. Just so false patriotism denounces every one who differs from itself in opinion about forms of government. It thinks a royalist, or a nobleman, or a priest ought not to live, however honest and peaceable a citizen he may be; but a republican may cut throats, drown, burn, hang and destroy at pleasure. Just as the popes and bishops had a claim formerly to burn heretics to serve God and the Church; so modern false patriots, burn with zeal to cut off the heads of all who do not belong to their party, (to serve the cause of liberty.)
There is a remarkable analogy between false Christians and false patriots in this respect. But are the horrors of the Jacobin government in France to be ascribed to the spirit and principle of patriotism?—Not at all. Robespierre and his party only made use of the word "patriotism" to make themselves popular—it was their stalking horse to ride to supreme power, just as it is in the United States.—So has Christianity been made the stalking horse for tyrants and knaves to answer their views of ambition and interest. But we must not charge these evils to the genius and spirit of religion in the one case, nor of patriotism in the other. Real religion and patriotism are good things used for bad purposes; and this will ever be the case, while the heart of man is corrupt and desperately wicked.

HOPE for OLD BACHELORS!
Even when past 50! Or, a remarkable instance of an Old Bachelor's marrying at the age of 52, and having and bringing up Children.
Southington, Feb. 21, 1795.
Mr. Thomas,
IF you think the following statement worth offering to the readers of your Spy, you may present it as a real fact. I brought an action to the court, now sitting, against Percival Allen, of Hopkinton, in the county of Washington; and on the back of the writ, beneath the Officer's return, was the following statement:
"The Defendant was an Old Bachelor until he was 52 years old, and then married, and had eight children by his wife, with whom he lived sixteen years, and then buried her, and has lived a widower 44 years, and is now a healthy, smart, active man, 112 years old."
I believe there can be no doubt of the truth of this statement; for I have been this day talking with one of his sons, who also confirms the truth of the above fact. And he himself, viz. Thomas Allen, son of the said Percival Allen, is now 58 years old, and begins to talk of counting. Three of his brothers are now living, and none of them have ever been married.
Yours &c.
CYRUS FRENCH.
KINGSTON, Jan. Feb. 10.
A republican schooner privateer with one carriage gun, but having 60 men well armed with muskets and cutlasses, lately attacked, in the night, a brig weakly manned, and mounting 6 carriage guns. The privateer kept up an incessant fire of musketry for a short time, but the dexterity of the captain of the brig, who, notwithstanding the short number of his hands, found means
to pour in two broadsides of well directed grape shot, foiled their attempt, and the vessels separated. The privateer was afterwards taken by the Impérial, when it was found, that more than half the crew had been killed or wounded, and several of the men died when removing from the vessel. The brig, the name of which is unknown to us, is said to have gone into Port Antonio.
Lieutenant Mills of the 49th regiment, arrived in the Allied, in eight days from Port-au-Prince, with dispatches from his honor the Lieutenant Governor, purporting that the brigands who had infested that neighbourhood for some time past, have experienced a most complete and fore defeat, wherein their whole camp was taken.
In the Harriet, came passenger Mr. Mann. In the Caicos passage, she was boarded by a French privateer of 20 guns, which took away a part of her live stock.
By this vessel, we learn, that the utmost tranquility reigns in America; the insurgents are completely reduced to peace and good order; moreover, that the war with Great Britain, which the secret enemies of both countries seem to wish for, has not even an existence in embryo; nay, is as little talked of as the siege of Troy, or the destruction of Carthage. Long may such amicable sentiments subsist between two nations, whom the common habits of life, and every tender tie in nature, seem to have pointed out as eternal friends and mutual defenders and protectors of each other.
NASSAU, February 3.
This morning arrived here the ship Harmony, Robinson, under American colours, captured off the coast of Virginia, the 10th of last month, by his Majesty's ship Argonaut of 64 guns, one of Admiral Murray's squadron.
The Harmony is out sixteen weeks from Bourdeaux, is laden with wines, brandy, and vinegar, and was bound for Norfolk.
On the 9th of last month, the Argonaut took a French ship of war called l'Esperance, mounting 22 guns and 150 men—she was out nine weeks from Rochfort, with dispatches to the French Minister at Philadelphia, which were all thrown overboard before she struck.
The brigantine Betsey, Parker, an American vessel, bound from Aux-Cayes to Philadelphia, was brought in here on Saturday, by the Flying Fish, capt. Mackenay.
The sloop Olive, Chamberlayne, belonging to Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, and bound from Jacomet for New-York, with a cargo of coffee was driven ashore in the night of the 22nd ult. in a heavy gale, on the Martyr's Reef. Next morning three of our wreckers fell in with her, and have saved the crew, cargo, and part of the materials.
February 17.
Mr. Demerit, master of a wrecking vessel belonging to this port, was at the Mantanzas in Cuba, the 12th of last month, where he saw capt. Thomas Calvert, who informed him he was master of the snow Happy Return, of Norfolk in Virginia, which had foundered on the 6th of that month, 11 leagues west of Havanna, and that he, with his crew, had some difficulty in saving themselves, 1700 dollars in cash, and a few necessaries, by taking to their boat, from which they were taken on board of a Spanish schooner the same day. Two days after, a French privateer, called the Sanpareille, from Charleston, the master of which was well known to Captain Calvert, fell in with and captured the Spanish schooner. In spite of every remonstrance on the part of the Americans on board, the privateer's men plundered them of their cash, and even of part of their cloathing, and then put them, with the Spanish crew, in irons. On the night of the 10th ult. they stood towards Cuba, took the irons off the prisoners, and then landed them, leaving them to shift for themselves.
At the request of Captain Calvert, Mr. Demerit communicated the above particulars to the Printers for publication.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 16.
Capt. Sisson of the ship Commerce, of New-York, who arrived here three days ago from Lisbon, was on the coast of America the 14th of February last; but meeting with contrary winds and bad weather, his provisions and water being nearly expended, and his ship in a leaky condition, he was compelled to bear away for the West Indies. On the 21st of February he got off the harbour of Nassau, New Providence, and hoisted a signal of distress; a privateer schooner spoke him, and desired him to stand on for the harbour and a pilot would come off to him; a

other vessel gave the same directions. In the latter part of the day a pilot came off to the ship, with a note directed to Captain Clarke, who they supposed to be the prize master of the ship, (for they took the ship to be a prize); when the pilot found it was not the ship he expected, he refused to carry Captain Sisson into port; he told Captain Sisson it was more than he dare to do to carry his vessel in; Captain Sisson prevailed on him to carry a letter to the Governor, in which he stated the distressed situation he was in, but no answer was returned.
Captain Sisson at this time found himself in a dangerous situation, being near the Breakers; he was told that a windward current was running, but in the morning he found himself so far to leeward of the port; no assistance appearing, he was obliged, in order to save himself, his crew and vessel, to stand for this port.
Captain Sisson says, that he is fully convinced, from the directions given to him by the two Schooners, that it was their wish to run him ashore, that they might reap the benefit of a wreck.
The following is the note alluded to in the above paragraph: "Mr. Miller's compliments to Captain Clarke, and informs him, that as it is supposed his ship is a prize, he has sent on board a very good pilot, in case Capt. C. should not be acquainted round the west end, who will carry her into safe anchorage, until the wind comes round, as it is perceived that the ship is losing ground very fast."
ALBANY.
From every quarter we find, that emigration to the west, this winter, has far exceeded that of any other period—which may in part be attributed to the success of Mr. JAY's treaty, and in part to Mr. Pickering's with the six Nations of Indians, last fall, which has dispelled every apprehension of danger in settling those fertile regions. A printing press was obtained, in the current of sleighs which passed through this city, going westward. To the contemplative and patriotic mind it must afford the most gratifying sensations, to see what was a few years since a wilderness, and a haunt for savages and savage animals, now rising fast into cultivated fields, and the arts gradually advancing in succession.

WORCESTER, March 27.
Samuel Kellogg, of Poultney, in the state of Vermont, claims the invention of a Machine for shearing woollen cloth by water. It is carried by a water wheel, with a crank, to which is fitted a piece of timber which gives motion to the shears, and to a rag wheel, similar to that of a saw mill. One end of the cloth being made fast to the shaft of the rag wheel, is, by winding on the shaft, gradually drawn under the shears.
The abusers of the Federal Government begin to come forward, from behind the curtain. A writer, in a late Philadelphia paper, has this remarkable expression: "It is a serious and alarming circumstance, that most of the press have devoted themselves to the
side of government." Here, an attachment to that government, which is deservedly the admiration of the world, is considered as an alarming circumstance . Are such writers the friends of our happy country?
BOSTON, March 11.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
Several accounts have been published of a recent engagement in the West-Indies, between a French and English frigate; but very little dependence can be placed on them. Anxious to communicate the most authentic intelligence, we have obtained information of a letter to a gentleman, from a captain of an American vessel, who was on board the English ship during the engagement, who informs, that this action, one of the most obstinate & bloody in the annals of naval combats, was between the Blanche British frigate, of 36 guns and 250 men, commanded by Captain Faulkner, and La Pink, a French frigate of 36 guns and 400 men. The engagement began at one o'clock in the morning and continued until four. The Blanche lost her captain and 20 men killed and 40 wounded; and La Pink had 70 men killed, and 114 wounded. The Pink lost all her masts, and the Blanche her main and mizen masts. The engagement being in the night was attended with many peculiar circumstances. The Blanche had been in chase of the vessel commanded by the gentleman from whom these particulars came, bound to Guadalupe, and was discovered by the Pink, then lying under Fleur d'Epee, Guadalupe, which immediately hipt her cable, and followed the Blanche. At 1 o'clock they met, laid each other along side, and a desperate battle ensued; during which the crew of the Blanche, unperceived, made the Pink fast with a hawser round the bobstay, and brought her into a very disadvantageous situation. Captain Faulkner being killed, his lieutenant veered away the hawser which confined the Pink, and brought her under his quarter, lashing the Pink's bowprit to his mizen mast. In this situation, finding he could not rake his antagonist to advantage from the ordinary stern ports, he ordered two cannon to be loaded, and firing both of them together, blew off the upper part of his ship's stern; and from these new invented port holes raked the Pink fore and aft, for near two hours, entirely dismasting her, and making the havoc among her crew which the above return states; while the only return the Pink could make was her small arms, and from the darkness of the night could not discover what made her fast. The crews of both vessels behaved with the most invincible courage; particularly the French, who bore the deadly and raking fire of the English a long time after the vain hope of escape or conquest had vanished. The English frigate was so disabled, as not to be able to conduct her wreck of a prize into port; and a vessel was sent from The Saints to tow them in. The Blanche was fitted out at Halifax to fight the Concorde, and the Pink at Guadalupe to fight the Blanche.
The account of the Bellona frigate having joined in the engagement, is not true. Perhaps the mistake originated in blending this with the account of her having taken a French store ship bound to Guadalupe, with troops, &c. on board, and which had arrived safe at St. Kitts.
The above particulars are from an American captain, who was on board the Blanche, and who is a gentleman of strict veracity. Other accounts received from various quarters, confirm the most of the above.
After the engagement, the captain was dismissed with his vessel.
Citizen Columbe, charged with a commission by the government of France, is arrived at Newport, from whence he proceeds to the Ambassador of the French republic at Philadelphia.
NEW-YORK, March 27.
From the DIARY.
This morning arrived the brig Active, captain Rogers, from Martinico: He informs that a proclamation was issued about the 20th of January, by General Sir John Vaughan, commanding the inhabitants to enrol themselves within ten days, on pain of imprisonment; otherwise to make application for Congress and leave the island within that time: in consequence of which, upwards of four hundred of the inhabitants immediately left the island.
Captain Rogers brought about 100 and landed them at St. Bartholemew's. He like-wise saw a proclamation declaring Guadalupe to be in a state of siege, and neutral vessels liable to capture, if found within a league of the island.
Captain Rogers also informs, that about 40 sail of American vessels were lying at Martinico when he left it; but none to his knowledge of New-York. That the market were full of every species of provisions; flour selling at 10 dollars, lumber very dull, &c. and price very low.
Captain Rogers also informs, that he has built eleven elegant houses on two and six penny final settlements, who cannot write two sentences of good English; but who counts much on his own wonderful improvements in science. Enter his house when you please, you probably find him pondering over Chamber's dictionary or the Encyclopaedia. Admire his house, his horses, his carriage, his talk—but if you forget to drop a word or a gentle hint about his erudition, you will get no favours from him.
I have heard of a man who thinks himself a poet: [and this is no doubt the case with thousands] if you find him a little busy or out of humour, say what you will, you will get nothing but sullen looks and short answers, unless you delicately touch on his eminence as a poet: [except indeed you offer him a fee, for he is a lawyer] but once touch that string, and discords are instantly changed into the sweetest music. O, this blind side!
A young man of my acquaintance takes great delight in the favor of the Ladies. What do the ladies say of me? don't they say I am a clever fellow? are questions he frequently asks of his friends. Indeed he is a clever fellow; for get this blind side of him, and you may sponge him out of every thing he has.
Now, kind reader, I will tell you a till stranger thing—a woman that delights to hear her husband praised. If you speak to her of her own merits or charms, she drops her looks very modestly, and waves the discourse—But say good things of her husband; instantly her eyes sparkle, and her face is drest in smiles. Is this a strange woman? In this case, the husband for once seems to have found the blind side of his wife.
"The La Picque lost one lieutenant and near 80 killed and wounded. The Blanche lost the captain, boatswain, and about an equal number with the French killed and wounded."
"Twelve vessels arrived at this island the 4th of January, with 4,500 troops on board, conveyed by the ship Mercury of 50 guns, and the frigate Altesa of 44 guns. The ship Lyon was taken in fight of Point Chateau, having on board 400 artillerymen, and carried into Antigua."
EASTON, Maryland, March 10.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
A Curiosity.—On the 7th inst. as a person was oystering in Plain-Dealing creek, Talbot county, he took up a bomb-shell whose circumference measured 24 inches, and weighed 34 pounds—within which was a live fish called the Miller's Thumb, who had, it is supposed, taken up his residence within this thunder-bolt of mischief in its juvenile days, and had made his entrance by the way of the vent, or sufe, and since which (either by taking too long a nap, or by feasting on the small fry who might have fled thither for refuge, or have been led to visit this uncommon villa through mere curiosity) had become so corpulent as not to be able to repass the door of his mansion.
'Tis also supposed this bomb was fired at the house of a militia officer from a British pickeroon laying off Oxford, in the year 1779, as it was found in a direct line from that place with the said house, but happily fell somewhat short.

THE BLIND SIDE.
"ALL women love flattery," says a censorious world. Censorious, I say, for why does the world confine the charge to women? Pray, are not men as fond of flattery as women?
A black man passed the door where I stood the other day: and how do you do, madam, said he, to my black servant? Very well, was the reply; how does your good lady do? said the girl, to the black man. Now, will the world say, that the black man was not flattered by this polite and friendly enquiry? A flattering compliment, most certainly, to hear one's wife called good lady.
I know a certain great man, that is, a man in high office, who often calls to see a friend; and if the man is not at home, he asks the wife where her master is. The good woman sometimes laughs off this kind of compliment; but here and there he finds a woman who is not flattered at this mode of address. To be sure, the man is a staunch democrat abroad; but this kind of language, though it wears an air of jesting, makes a shrewd woman of my acquaintance suspect the man to be a little monarch at home.
An old gentlewoman in my neighbourhood, has a remarkable fine puppy, that strikes up the game of a wagtail, with every one that enters the doors, and claps two dirty paws upon a clean pair of silk stockings, or a fine muslin gown. Say what you will of her house, her furniture, her person, her accomplishments, and even of her children, if you go away without admiring her charming little Sancho, the dearest little puppy in the town, she will owe you a spite while you live.
I know a nabob, that is, a man who
has built eleven elegant houses on two and six penny final settlements, who cannot write two sentences of good English; but who counts much on his own wonderful improvements in science.

The Life of God in the Soul of Man, or, the Nature and Excellency of the Christian Religion, just published by Mr. Ormerod, No. 41, Chestnut-Street, is one of those useful and happy effusions of Genius, that may be read with equal pleasure, by Christians of every Sect, and in every Country. The Author wisely avoided what ever might tend to inflame the keenness of polemical disputations, and has aimed chiefly at improving and animating the moral sensibility of his readers. The Style is simple, nervous and interesting. Alternately, as his subject requires it, Professor Scougal is copious without redundancy, and concise without abruptness. For more than a Century, this Work has instructed and delighted pious persons of all Classes, in the British nations, and it is therefore, with peculiar propriety, that this American Edition has, made its appearance.

In the General Advertiser of this morning there is a republication of an essay signed Franklin in which the following assertion appears—viz.
"Sir, it is a fact of public notoriety that Mr. Genet had powers to negotiate a commercial treaty with the United States—He frequently urged it, and it was as often evaded."
That the above assertion is an absolute falsehood appears by the following letter from the late Secretary of State, Mr. Jefferson, to Mr. Morris our late Minister at Paris.—See pages 68 and 69 of the papers accompanying an engraving of the President of the United States, dated Dec. 5, 1793, published by order of the House of Representatives.
Philadelphia, August 23d, 1793.
Mr. Jefferson Secretary of State, to Mr. Morris Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to France.
DEAR SIR,
THE letter of the 16th inst. with its documents accompanying this, will sufficiently inform you of the transactions, which have taken place between Mr. Genet, the Minister of France, and the government here, and of the painful necessity they have brought on, of desiring his recall. The letter has been prepared, in the view of being itself, with its documents, laid before the executive of the French government. You will, therefore, be pleased to lay it before them, doing every thing which can be done on your part, to procure it a friendly and dispassionate reception and consideration. The President would indeed think it greatly unfortunate, were they to take it in any other light; and, therefore, charges you very particularly, with the care of presenting this proceeding in the most soothing view, and as the result of an unavoidable necessity on his part.
Mr. Genet, soon after his arrival, communicated the decree of the National Convention, of February, 15th, 1793, authorising their executive to propose a treaty with us, on liberal principles, such as might strengthen the bonds of good will, which unite the two nations; and informed us in a letter of May 23d, that he was authorised to treat accordingly. The Senate being then in recess, and not to meet again till the fall, I apprised Mr. Genet that the participation in matters of treaty, given by the constitution to that branch of our government, would, of course, delay any definitive answer to his friendly proposition. As he was sensible of this circumstance, the matter has been understood to lie over till the meeting of Senate. You will be pleased, therefore, to explain to the executive of France, this delay, which has prevented, as yet, our formal accession to their proposition to treat; to assure them that the President will meet them, with the most friendly dispositions on the grounds of treaty proposed by the National Convention, as soon as he can do it in the forms of the constitution, and you will, of course, suggest for this purpose, that the powers of Mr. Genet be renewed to his successor.
Since my last, which was of the 13th of June, your Nos. 25, 26, 27, of March 26th, April 4th and 5th, have been received. The public papers sent herewith, will give you the current news of the country.
I have the honor to be, with great respect and esteem,
Dear Sir, Your most obedient And most humble servant, TH. JEFFERSON.

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 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 cash securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia; and are valued 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.

Valuable Property
For Sale,
IN THE
STATE OF NEW-YORK.
THAT valuable and well known Estate, called SCOTIA, situate on the north bank of the Mohawk river, directly opposite the populous and flourishing town of Schenectady, at the foot of the water-communication from the Western Country, and Upper Canada; sixteen miles from the city of Albany, extending about two miles on the bank of the river above and below the said town; this river is the only water communication in the United States with the great western Lakes. The roads from the western and northern parts of the state of New York, together with a number of other public roads here meet, and lead to the noted ferry opposite the said town. It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is interval or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, affording convenient and handsome building grounds; here is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses, with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house, store house, summer house, and other out-houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stored with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. There is a good grist-mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand apple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit; the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on short leases. The land in point of fertility of soil, is exceeded by none in the state; there is now in the ground near two hundred bushels winter grain, which will be included in the above sale. Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house. A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof. For terms of sale apply to the Subscriber, residing on the premises, Messrs. Oliver Wendel or Harrison G. Otis, Esquires, in the town of Boston, Cornelius Ray, or De Witt Clinton, Esquires, at the city of New York; James Gordon or Henry Glen, Esquires, two of the members of Congress, at the city of Philadelphia; Stephen N.

1. Charlotte, a tale of truth,
By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents.
[The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Reviews, April 1793, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity. Her regularity of her former conduct, is en-iced from her governors, 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 his friend.—The situations are artless and affective—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."

5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brillon. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
"The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with seeing the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find in it only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
