STATE PAPER.
The States of Holland and West-Friesland have published the following PROCLAMATION.
"THE States of Holland and West-Friesland, &c. make known, Whereas, the circumstances of the war, so unjustly declared by the French government against the Republic, have again taken such a turn, that the frontiers of the State are exposed a second time to the violence of the enemy's invasion, which can be no wise resisted than by employing the most rigorous means: to this effect, animated by the sentiments which his most Serene Highness, the Prince Stadholder, expressed, in his address to the States-General the 14th of last month, we have firmly resolved to sacrifice our properties and lives in defence of the State, particularly of this province, and in protecting every thing that is dear to us in this country. We have judged it necessary, and our duty, to inform the good citizens, of these our serious intentions and views; and, at the same time to declare, that we are very far from despairing of the safety of the State, together with all its prerogatives, both religious and civil, in case that the means which Divine Goodness has given and preserved to us, are employed with that cordiality, concord, and true patriotism, which have at all times characterized the free-born Belgic nation. It is with this view, that we exhort every citizen, who is not totally degenerated from the virtues of his ancestors, to renounce, at this time, when the country is in danger, all party spirit, and to unite heart in hand for the preservation of their own interests, and to remember that every man in his own sphere is obliged to co-operate, since there is not a single person who would not lose, in the fall of the state, his own personal liberty, and his unrestrained means of subsistence; but above all, let every one think, that this obligation becomes greater, in proportion to his possessions, or other relations to this country, so favoured by Heaven."
"That amongst the means we judge may, and ought to be employed with vigor we reckon the local situation and the natural force of the country, strengthened by fortresses and by inundations, by means of which our enemies have been so often driven from our frontiers, as likewise the augmentation and the abundant stores with which the army of the State is provided, encouraged as it is by the immortal glory it has acquired in the two last campaigns. But neither is it to be dissembled, that in order to put every thing into the most respectable situation it is capable of, considerable sums are wanted. For these wants, we have endeavoured to provide in time, as well by resolving upon different means, as by imposing a tax after example of like circumstances in the year 1747; three proportions of which we, with all other well-intentioned citizens, have already paid, being obliged, by our necessities, to anticipate the last proportion a month before the time. Nevertheless, all the means of supply hitherto furnished fall greatly short of the necessities of this expensive war, more especially at the present moment, when the safety or the fall of the Republic depends upon the prompt furnishing of coin."
"In the mean time we with pleasure learn, that many good citizens, who have the power of doing so, have declared themselves ready to succour the country efficaciously with all their powers, at this conjuncture, if a general call be made to this effect, and if a loan be opened on such conditions as agree best with the present value of the interest of Money."
Pursuant to the directions of the Law for incorporating the Insurance Company of North America, a Meeting will be held at the Company's Office, on Thursday the 13th day of November ensuing, when Two DIRECTORS are to be chosen for the remainder of the present year, to supply the places of two Gentlemen who have been elected Directors of another Insurance Company.
The Votes may be given by the Stockholders either in person or by Proxy, but none may vote unless the stock shall have stood in their names at least three months preceding the time of Election.
By order of the President and Directors Ebenezer Hazard, Sec'y.

From the MINERVA. To THOMAS GREENLEAF and JOHN FELLOWS Jun.
When you republished Rabaut's history of the revolution in France, you gave a real pleasure to all lovers of truth and republican government. The high literary character of the author, which was known in America, had prepared the public for a favorable reception of his work.
This work you numbered as the first volume of a history, which, you informed your readers, you intended to publish; and many people supposed that they were to be favoured with a second volume from the same pen. On looking into what you have numbered as your second volume, we find the title page announces a very different work—"An Impartial History of the late revolution in France." This word Impartial in the mouths of rank party men; and a title which the modest Rabaut had not assumed led me to suspect all was not right. I compared the title pages of your first and second volumes, and found them very different. I then began to read the second volume, and soon found I had read it before. I turned to the New Annual Register for 1792, w. e. I found the original of Greenleaf and Fellowes's history of the Revolution in France.
This discovery gave me some surprize, especially when I reflected on your utter detestation of the English nation. I could not conceive how it was possible that Thomas Greenleaf & John Fellowes should have given credit to a history of the French revolution written by an Englishman. I turned to your advertisement, and here I found some expressions that gave me a clue to unravel the difficulty. Here you assure your readers, that "the enthusiastic Rhapsody of the enemies of liberty shall never stain your press"—and that you will copy that history only which states facts impartially, free from illiberal abuse tending to alienate our affections from the sacred rights of man."
This notice I understood at once to mean that you would copy what favored one party, and omit every thing else, as illiberal abuse. Therefore I have taken the pains to compare a part of your copy with the original history in the Annual Register, and this is the result of my examination: That the first 140 pages of your 2d volume is copied from the New Annual Register for 1792, with such alterations, omissions and mutilations, as Greenleaf and Fellowes chose to make. The mutilations in these 140 pages amount to eighty eight; sometimes whole pages are omitted; sometimes sentences and not unfrequently half sentences and single epithets; The passages omitted; in every instance, relate facts unfavourable to the ruling Jacobins and their instruments, the sanguinary populace of Paris. You have not omitted a single fact that serves to represent the Jacobins and the mob in a favourable light; and the most notorious and acknowledged facts, which call a reproach on them, you have carefully suppressed. Such is your Impartial History , which you are attempting to palm upon your countrymen for truth.
This charge then which you are to answer before the tribunal of the public, goes directly to impeach you of ill intentions—and a design to mislead the public. If you copy a history, it is your duty to copy the whole. If you select important facts only, you ought to select them all, whatever party they favor; whatever cause they disgrace. Purposely to omit any fact that throws light on the transactions related, incurs the charge of partiality; but it is more; it is indeed a crime; for slight is the moral difference between a wilful suppression of the truth, and a positive declaration of falsehood.
But the mutilated history in your second volume, does as little credit to your judgment and industry, as to your integrity of heart. By your injudicious omissions, you have more than once broken the connection of the narration, a subsequent paragraph inserted refers to something in a preceding paragraph omitted—and thus, parts of the work are rendered unintelligible.
To show the public what title your history has to Impartiality , it is proper to cite particular Instances.
I will therefore select a number of Passages; and give them exactly as they stand in the original and in the copy, distinguishing the words omitted by Italics; noting also the pages in the Annual Register and in your copy, that my readers may easily detect the least error in transcribing.
In the outset of the work, you have omitted a great part of two pages of the history in the Register, (pages 114 and 115.) This part of the work contains some introductory reflections, very necessary towards understanding the subsequent parts of the history. It gives a general description of the troubled state of France, at the meeting of the first Legislative Assembly; the weakness of the Executive; the strength of the patriotic societies, which contained in them the seeds of anarchy; and mentions as a main cause of all the subsequent troubles of France, that rash decree by which the members of the constituent Assembly rendered themselves ineligible to a seat in the legislative assembly. This decree and the character
that composed the assembly, are material facts that throw much light on their proceedings; a by omitting these introductory remarks, you have left your own history perfect. Even the first sentence of the second volume is obscure and showeth the work to be mutilated. It begins thus. "The assembly met on the 1st of October"—tho' there is not a syllable in this or the preceding volume that tells what assembly met, or prepares a way for this relation of facts.
Original—page 116. "The king having announced that he would repair to the Assembly on Friday the 12th, it was next debated in what manner he should be received. In the decree that followed this debate the mean and trifling spirit by which the Assembly was afterwards to be actuated, was clearly evinced."
In the copy page 12th the sentence in Italics is omitted. In the close of the same paragraph the following sentence is omitted.
"These petty indignities were as impolitic as they were undeserved, and were inconsistent with magnanimity, and utterly unbecoming a great nation." The indignity here alluded to was, the decree for seating the king on the left hand of the President, &c. a decree in which the French not only laid aside all civility, as well as dignity, but treated their constitution with contempt. Yet this reflection on the Assembly you have thought proper to suppress.
Original, page 124. Copy 34. "The exercise of the Royal veto on this occasion (the decree of November 9th against emigrants) was certainly an imprudent step; though there is no reason to attribute it to any perfidious motive, or to account for it on any other principle than that tenor of disposition, that tenderness of character, by which this unfortunate monarch was so much distinguished."
Here you have omitted a very natural reflection of the historian, and one that is warranted by the known character of the late king; and the omission, all candid men will attribute to a pitiful desire of hiding from the world, even virtues attached to Royalty. With Jacobins, every thing in and about a Prince must be vicious—they seem to think that a king or a noble or a priest cannot possess a virtue; and it is not sufficient to adhere to that excellent maxim de mortuis nil nisi bonum ; but a king must not have credit for virtues which he actually possessed.
Original, same page, copy 34. "In contemplating the history of this amiable and unfortunate monarch."—Here you have omitted the epithet amiable ; for what reason, you best know.
Same pages—"and their innocent monarch would never have fallen a sacrifice to a relentless mob"—Copy "and their monarch would never have fallen a sacrifice." It seems you cannot bear a word in disapprobation of mobs , as they are favorite instruments of government in the hands of Jacobins.
Original, page 126. Copy 38. "And to complete the distraction, this body [the clergy] was possessed of an influence over the minds of the people, which it was not easy to suppress. In fact, the non-juring clergy were possessed of all the popularity, of all the credit of the order. Their chapels were crowded, while those of the constitutional or conforming clergy were utterly deserted."
Here you have suppressed a most material fact; one that throws great light upon the transactions in France. The attachment of the people to the non-juring clergy, was evinced by their resorting to their chapels—this attachment of the people to the old superstition was probably a principal cause of the clergy's refusing to take the civic oath—the taking of this oath was at that time unpopular—and these facts show the difficulties which the revolutionists had to encounter, and probably go far to account for the civil wars of La Vendee. But you are incapable of making reflections and deductions like these, and your want of intellects competent to this purpose may possibly take off a part of the censure which must otherwise fall upon the intentions of your hearts.
In the same page, you have omitted several sentences, containing some important remarks on the severe decree, banishing the non-juring clergy.
Original, page 127. "To these decrees, after some delay, the king, from apparently the most humane and conscientious motives, opposed his veto, and thus unfortunately increased the clamor which was insidiously excited against him in every part of the kingdom."
Copy, page 40. "To these decrees, after some delay, the king opposed his veto, and thus unfortunately increased the clamor which was insidiously ex-
cited against him in every part of the kingdom."
Original, page 129. The following important paragraph is wholly omitted. "The hasty dismissal and impeachment of ministers, in consequence of inflammatory harangues from popular orators, and without any hearing or investigation, may be accounted among the principal causes of the calamities of France. The rapid succession of ministers allowed them no time to remedy abuses, or to make the necessary arrangements for the defence of the kingdom; the fear of impeachment rendered them cautious and timid, and directed their attention rather to the arts of acquiring popularity, than to the performance of their duty; rather to intriguing with the despicable Journalists who governed the mob of Paris, than to the actual service of their king and country."
This paragraph throws odium and infamy on the Jacobins and the leaders of the Paris mob; and this is reason enough with you to suppress it, however important the facts and remarks it contains.
In the same page the original history applies to Mr. Bailly, the Mayor of Paris, the epithets of judicious and patriotic , which you have omitted—for this reason doubtless, he would not go all lengths with the Jacobin club; he was denounced and became unpopular—therefore you will not give him credit for virtues, which he displayed during his administration.
In relating facts respecting the Jacobins, you have carefully suppressed every expression that tends to cast reproach on them. In speaking of their opponents; you have as carefully suppressed expressions tending to their credit. The original history speaks of the fuillans, as some of the most active and respectable members of the Constituent Assembly; the words most respectable , you have suppressed; although Rabaud, the author of the first volume of your history, is one of the members mentioned. Rabaud was a mighty good and respectable man; till he opposed the Jacobin club; then, in your view, he deserved no credit nor reputation.
Original, page 130. "The Republican party and the Jacobins could not behold this new association [the society of fuillans] without secret disquiet. It was evidently formed to discount their conspiracies, and to open the eyes of the public to their true interest." As they despaired of vanquishing it by the force of reason and truth, they determined to employ that blind and desperate instrument the sole guidance of which they had long been laboring to acquire." That is the Mob.
Copy, page 46, after the first sentence, "It was evidently formed to discount their measures, by endeavoring to render them odious to the people. They were therefore determined on its destruction."—Here is a total alteration in the sense of the original—you have uniformly given credit to this history in the Annual Register, when it relates facts that you like—but when it relates things that throw a scandal on the Jacobins and the Paris mob, you either omit the relation altogether, or what is worse, you change the passage and give it a meaning that you like. The last sentence you have omitted as tho' you meant, and probably you did mean, to approve of the conduct of the Jacobins in sending a body of armed ruffians to disperse their opponents, the fuillans.
Original, page 137. The following paragraph, speaking of the death of Mr. Delaunay, which scene opened the bloody tragedy in France, you have also omitted. "He was the first victim to that desperate faction which since deluged France with blood, and the Assembly passing a decree of accusation against a citizen without first hearing him in his own defence, having fixed and indelible blot upon their records, and afforded a fatal specimen of that prompt and hasty punishment which has since exhibited the judicial proceedings of that nation as an object of detestation and contempt to the world."
Never were remarks more just or better merited; yet they fix a stigma upon the ruling faction, and therefore you omitted them.
In page 141 of the original, you have omitted a column, containing some excellent remarks on the absurdity and fatal consequences of admitting the populace to the galleries, and permitting them to applaud or censure the speakers—a practice from which has flowed half the calamities of the French nation.
In the passage, page 142 of the original, respecting the indecent scene of the bishops, you have suppressed this line— many irreligious allusions were indulged in .
In the next page the following sentence is omitted—"Such at least we are assured was the opinion of Mr. La Fayette, whose judgment appears in general to have been sound, and whose patriotism, none, but a violent and desperate faction, has ever presumed to question." The omission of this fact, so highly honorable to La Fayette, could proceed only from a violent and desperate faction. No candid man ever yet impeached the integrity or patriotism of that unhappy man, and to suppress a fact or sentiment, because honorable to him,
is the effect of poor, pitiful contemptible jealousy.
In strict pursuance of your impartial plan of hiding every thing that disgraces the Jacobins and the mob, you have neglected to insert, from page 145, the horrid proceedings of the enraged soldiery near Lille, immediately after the murder of Mr. Dillon. A party of the royal cravate, a regiment of cavalry, rushing precipitately towards Lille overtook Mr. Berthois, an officer of Engineers. Some of them exclaimed, "There goes another of those traitors." They instantly fell upon him, he received several shots, fell from his horse, and the body being suspended from a lamp iron, every soldier in the party discharged his piece at it as he passed.
Why is this fact concealed? Why has it not a place in your impartial history? Answer this question, and blush for your daring attempts to impose on your readers. Blush also for your carelessness, which, in this very paragraph, which mentions the word prisoners , in a way that can be explained only by the preceding part which you have omitted. In your zeal to suppress all disgraceful facts, you have left this part of your history without connection and unintelligible.
But in no part of the work have you found such difficulty, as in relating the massacres of the 10th of August, and 2d and 3d of September. As the horrors of those scenes were produced by your favorite Jacobins, and were attended with such deliberate and outrageous violations of all law, of decency, of humanity, and of all virtue and justice, that you have found it perplexing to carry through a tolerable narrative of the events, without intermingling some reflections on your dear friends, the ruffians who perpetrated the murderous deeds. To save the instigators of these horrid massacres from their merited infamy, you have chopped and mangled this part of the history in a most shameful manner; and finally to great a part of the narration in the original became a relation of the shocking barbarities of your friends, that you were compelled to quit the Annual Register, and have recourse to some despicable Journal, and relate a few events in the form of a Diary. Your favorite plan of relating facts only on one side, here reduced you to the necessity of omitting the most important, the most interesting narration in the whole history; and finally, for want of talents to compile a historical relation out of the materials you possessed, your history, in the midst of the most interesting scenes that have marked the revolution, and those which distinguished its crisis, sinks down into the form of a broken, pitiful Journal.
I have not examined the whole volume. I am so much disgusted at the work, and so much displeased with the editors, that I have no patience to wade through the whole performance. I have here told the world the truth so far as my strictures extend; but in the 140 pages examined, there are probably six times as many omissions, and mutilations as I have recited. The samples here given will satisfy the public, as to your motives and the demerit of the publication; and men will hereafter be on their guard against any attempts of yours to impose on them, under the title of impartial , the most partial and imperfect history that any man ever had the effrontery to christen by that dignified name.
Let me then ask you how you dare pretend to be friends to the rights of man, when you thus attempt to impose on his understanding?
One of you is a Printer, the other a Bookseller, and both have command of channels by which information is communicated to the public. What confidence can even your friends place in your publications? If you can thus chop to pieces a very well written, and so far as we can judge, impartial history, to serve the purposes of your party and your prejudices, who can tell whether, you do not the same in every book or every paper you publish? Have not the memoirs of the late Queen of France been published in the same mangled condition—a work, the truth of which is unsupported by authority or proof—too indecent in the original for the eyes or ears of common morality, and mutilated and chalized as the American edition now is, yet altogether offensive to delicacy and pernicious to morals?—How long will you be suffered thus to proceed in spreading the poison of the most detestable doctrines and opinions? When will you cease to mislead the public?
But you are Democrats—members of the society of pure patriots, who closet themselves for the purpose of discussing the conduct of rulers, and spreading political information.
Is this impartial history then the work of democrats —friends to the equal rights of man? Is such the information that Democrats diffuse among the people? Do you expect to aid the cause of your

party, and carry on the dark work of faction, by such glaring attempts to hide truth from the public? Do you expect that you can introduce Jacobinism into America and govern us by a few clubs, by concealing the murders, the massacres, and barbarities that have been committed by the Jacobin Clubs in France?
Whatever be your views, it is probable that they will fail of their effect. — America is a soil where anarchy and Jacobinism, the planted and fostered by industrious men, will never take deep root.
The steady reign of law and government in the United States will baffle all the enemies of peace; and the supporters of our constitution will continue to be revered and beloved, when anarchy, Jacobinism and Club government shall be entombed with Marat and Robespierre, and when your Impartial history shall be covered with dust, and mouldering away in the neglected corners of your garrets.
ARGUS.
UNITED STATES—District of Massachusetts.
Reynolds, libellant, versus Schooner Success, Debtor, claimant.
By the evidence produced in this cause, the following facts appear:
That the Schooner Success was a British vessel, on a trading voyage from Halifax to Boston, and thence to Halifax. That on the evening of the first day of September last, she sailed from the Long Wharf, so called, in Boston, bound to Halifax, and the wind not being fair, she came to anchor near Lovell's Island, and the harbor of Boston, where she continued till the evening of the third of September. At about one quarter of an hour before nine o'clock she got under way and pursued her voyage. Soon after she left the light-house, the people on board discovered a boat after her, which pursued her, and at about half past ten o'clock, came up with her, and took possession of her by force as prize, having previously fired two shots from twivels, at, or towards her. At the time when she surrendered, she was not less than six, nor more than nine miles from the light-house, and was not more than one marine league from land. This boat was an armed boat belonging to the ship Concord, then lying in Boston harbor, a ship of war belonging to, and in the service of, the Republic of France.
This boat had been lying in wait in the harbor of Boston, with intent to pursue the Schooner, and capture her, having left the Concord, the same evening that the Success left the wharf, and taken her station on the back of Lovell's Island, where she watched the motions of the Schooner, and as soon as the Schooner came to sail, on the evening of the third of September, pursued her with an intent to capture her. One Samuel Rogers, an American citizen, entered on board the boat at Boston, as a pilot, and continued on board from the time she left the Concord, and directed the course of her pursuit, and by direction of the French officer which commanded her, hailed the Schooner, and ordered her to strike. The Schooner, when she surrendered, was without the points of land which form the harbor of Boston, which are nearly in a line with the light-house; she was within the bay called sometimes Massachusetts Bay, and sometimes Boston Bay, and would have been nearly intersected by a line extended from Cohasset to Marblehead, the points of which are about fifteen or seventeen marine miles asunder, several leagues within Cape-Ann and Cape-Cod, which are about 40 miles from each other. She was not far from the centre of the waters where fish are caught for the daily supply of the inhabitants of the towns adjacent, particularly those of Boston and Charlestown. The waters near the shores on both sides, for the same distance, are employed for the same purpose, by the inhabitants in their vicinity, and some of the bays, as that of Ipswich, are more used for the like purpose.
Every neutral nation is bound to act fairly towards such belligerent powers, whose vessels enter their ports and harbours for the purpose of trade, and not to suffer them to be entrapped and captured under such circumstances as they ought to have prevented, when they are under their protection and in confidence of safety; and should cause restoration to be made, if they are within their jurisdiction when taken.
A nation professing neutrality, if, in consequence of treaties they admit the vessels of war of one of war of one of the belligerent powers, and receive the trading vessels of another, would effectually destroy their own trade with the other nation, in their own ports, and justly incur the
imputation of partiality, and expose themselves to become a party in the war, if they shall permit their trading vessels to be way-laid in their harbours, and pursued in and from them thence, immediately on their sailing, by the vessels of war of their enemies, or armed boats detached from them, and captured and brought back to the neutral ports, without interesting and causing them to be restored, and things placed in statu quo .
This expedition appears to have originated in the harbour of Boston; the hostile permit commenced there, and continued until the surrender of the Schooner in the place before described. The course of the pursuit was under the direction of an American citizen, who entered as pilot for the purpose.
Under these circumstances I am of opinion the capture was unlawful, and do order and decree, that the Schooner Success, her appurtenances, and the property found on board at the time of the capture, be restored to the libellant:—The property on board, of which proof has been given, in two thousand and four hundred dollars, and the articles mentioned in the schedules annexed to the libel excepting those marked with a cross, and in the schedules number 20, 21, 22 and 23. That the sum of one hundred and sixty-five dollars be paid by the captors to the libellant, for damages sustained by him for the hire of the Schooner, and the provisions of the men since the capture and costs.

Foreign Intelligence.
BRUSSELS, August 1. Every mode which ingenuity can suggest is adopted by the French Commanders to conciliate the affections of the inhabitants of this city; they have recommended to the magistrates of Brussels and its environs, the laws which were most consonant to them. They have ordered the renewal of the same imposts which had been established during the sovereignty of the Emperor. A Proclamation to that effect in which the activity of Laurent and Guyton is highly praised, has been circulated. It is signed H. Van Langendork and has been struck upon the walls of the city.
LONDON, August 29. It is reported, but we know not on what authority, that Sluss has at length been obliged to surrender to the French; and that they next mean to attack successively, Philippe, Sas de Grands, Axel and Huss. If the French succeed, it will render them masters of the right side of the Scheldt, and entirely put a stop to the navigation of that river.—The conquest, however, will not be an easy one, some of these places being, and all of them capable of being inundated in the vicinity.
Our Frankfort correspondent has communicated to us a circumstance, which must be productive of the most important effects on the operations of the war. He says that symptoms of Insurrection have manifested themselves in various parts of the empire. At Vienna a conspiracy has recently been discovered in which several persons of high rank were concerned. Two hundred persons have already been arrested. Nor are the Northern powers entirely free from the spirit of Revolution.
Some accounts from the Rhine mention, that Warsaw has surrendered to his Prussian Majesty by capitulation—Other and more probable accounts from Galicia state that the Prussians were repulsed on the 31st ult. in an attack made on Kossiusko's entrenched camp.
We shall be sincerely happy to communicate to the public the pleasing intelligence of the complete discomfiture of the attempts of the Russians and Prussians against the liberties of Poland.
By the last intelligence from America, it should seem that the patience of the people of that country is nearly exhausted. It is there no longer a matter of doubt by whom the Indians are excited to those acts of depredation and murder which are daily committed upon the frontiers.
We can hardly bring ourselves to believe that such has been the diabolical policy of our government; but if conduct so atrocious has been pursued by ministers or by those who act under them, and a war with America be the consequence, we do not hesitate to pronounce that such men should become the objects of the public justice of their country.
The only common enterprize in which the European nations ever engaged and which they undertook with equal ardour remains a single monument of human folly. So says Dr. Robertson of the crusade preached by Peter the Hermit. Will not Posterity pass a similar censure on the crusade instigated by Mr. Burke.
Yesterday Dr. Barrow and Dr. Watson were committed to Newgate, by the right hon. the lord mayor, for having in their custody divers seditious printed libels, with intent to publish them.

Camp near Bedford, Oct. 20.
Last evening the President of the United States arrived here from Fort Cumberland; 15 guns were fired on his arrival, and except this no other ceremony was observed. He was escorted by 4 dragoons only.
On Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, a party of 30 horse, under Capt. Singer, left our camp, and after riding about 40 miles, at day light took Herman Husbands, and one Willon, both of whom had been active in the late opposition to the laws; the party returned about 10 o'clock last night, with their prisoners, and are entitled to great credit for the expedition and secrecy with which they performed their mission; the detachment was taken from the three city troops.
This morning Gen. Bloomfield arrived here with a detachment of Jersey troops—and I believe the amount of the forces now encamped near Bedford is about 6,000.
It is supposed some of the troops that first arrived here will be ordered on in a day or two, perhaps to-morrow.
BEDFORD Oct. 24.
The Governor arrived here on Saturday and the President on Sunday last.
The President arrived by the most private road and thereby escaped that formal reception which must be so disagreeable to a man of his worth and feelings.
Yesterday we were reviewed by Gov. Lee from Virginia (who is to take the command in chief and who also arrived on Sunday). Both he and General Frelinghuysen expressed their approbation at our military appearance. Gen. Lee has appointed Benjamin R. Morgan from the Blues one of his aids.
Major McPherson has been offered the rank of a colonel over another regiment, to be succeeded as major by Capt. Baynton, but I am informed he has refused the offer, giving a preference to his present situation.
Capt. Lyman's regulars (a handsome company) Capt. Clunn's artillery—Taylor's Riflemen, Graham's Volunteers the Philad. Horse and McPherson's Blues are to be completed a legion by a few of the Jersey troops. They are to be under the command of Gen. Frelinghuysen and will march from this place to-morrow, tho' I cannot say by what route.
A second column departs by a different route the next day and a number of troops are to remain stationed here for some time.
We do not expect (tho' we may be disappointed) to pierce more than 50 or 60 miles in the country. 'Twill be only to show ourselves and to intimidate the inhabitants, for we can hear of no enemy in arms against us.
This forenoon the President of the United States, and his suite—arrived in town from Bedford.
A correspondent remarked that the President never appeared in finer health.
We hear that the Secretary of the Treasury is gone forward with the army.

STOCKBRIDGE, October 21.
Notwithstanding the late execution in France of a number of "Conspirators," some of whom have for a long time past had the principal management of all the proceedings of the Republic; the people in general have remained quiet; and indeed at all times, of late, acquiesce in the measures of whatever party gains the ascendancy in the Convention.—When Brissot and his contemporaries were in power, the Brissotines were the Patriots of France.—The faction of Danton and his associates sup- planted Brissot, and in their triumph conducted him and his adherents to the guillotine.—Those who fled from the power of the then prevailing party, were denounced, out-lawed, and hunted as wolves throughout France.—Robespierre at length separated from and opposed Danton, and the head of the latter was severed from his body by the axe of the executioner; those who had joined in his plans, and did not conform their creed to the new turn of affairs, also dyed the scaffold with their blood.—Tallien, his friends, and the seceders from the party of Robespierre, have at length crushed the latter, whose reign has been longer than that of his predecessors—but the insatiate guillotine has claimed him at last as its victim, and with him, many of his partisans have fell.—How long the present party will hold the reins, it must be left to time to determine.—Many were the Patriots, not here mentioned, previous to Brissot—and it is probable many more will succed Tallien, before France has the felicity to establish a government, favorable to order, liberty and peace—that such, however, may be the final result, must be the wish of every true American.

Gentlemen and Fellow-Citizens of the United States of America.
I think it my duty, as well as for the interest of my countrymen, to give you this short transcript of the conduct of the merchants, custom-house officers and other inhabitants of the Island of Tobago. I hereby advise all merchants and masters of vessels belonging to the United States, to be very careful in entering their vessels, for the merchants you deal with, and the custom-house officers, will advise you to make short entries on purpose to seize your vessels; and further,
I would advise you to take particular care of Thomas Ruddack & Co. for by their means I was seized in that Island on the 5th of September last, and was not allowed to take one change of cloaths with me, although my vessel and cargo was worth four thousand pounds, lawful money. The occasion of my seizure was this—I entered eight pipes of Madeira wine for sale, and the custom-house officers, themselves, put it down for exportation; after my seizure I made application for my register to the custom-house officers, but they would not let me have it.
My register was for the sloop Betsey, of Boston, burthen eighty-nine tons, belonging to James Tisdale, Esq. of Boston. Had it not been for Captain Avion Coffin, master of the sloop Catharine of New-York, I might have died in the streets, for they would give me no assistance.

Extract of a letter, dated Fort Cumberland, October 18. 1794, to a gentleman in this town.
"We are now encamped at this place, the very place where general Braddock's marquee was pitched, and are all very healthy, and have plenty of every thing necessary for people in our situation.
"Last Wednesday general Smith arrived here, whom we and the Virginia brigade went out, about half a mile from this place, to salute, (for, you must know that there are at this place about 2,300 Virginians, and nearly as many Marylanders, besides four fine troops of horse and Stoddert's artillery) and on Thursday the President of the United States arrived, with a large retinue of general officers, and reviewed us, when he was pleased to make choice of Captain Mackenheimer's company for his guards during his stay here.
"Last night three commissioners came in and settled the business for Fayette county, to the satisfaction of the President—and I hope the rest will follow soon the example."

ODE TO CONTENTMENT.
O, THOU, whom HEBE's finics, adorn, Whose bloom outvies the vivid morn, Whose presence gilds the day: Contentment, ever lovely theme, I feel the gentle influence beam, And hail thy welcome ray! What tho' huge mountains round me rise, Whose hostile summits pierce the skies, And vex the traveller's way; Tho' earthquakes quiver, floods descend; Tho' storms the far-spread forest bend, And call forth pale dismay: Tho' war his dreadful ensign waves, Nor blooming youth nor valor saves, But cold in dust they lie; Tho' fell disease, with wasting hand, Usurps an uncontrouled command, And bids the virtuous die; Yet smoothly down life's hastening tide, I feel my tranquil moments glide, And sweetly joyous roll; Fair Hope each anxious thought beguile, And, cheer'd by thee, the desert smiles, Thou soother of the soul! But, all my blessings to secure, O, may one dearer life endure, Beyond the date of mine! That hope shall calm affliction's hour, Disarm pale death's terrific power, And make its horror tame.

We the Chief Mate and passengers wrecked on the Bar of Little Egg Harbour, on the 7th inst. in the ship Sant Francisco, of Genoa, from Nantz in France, bound to New York. Nicholas Cutt the master unfortunately drowned; take this opportunity of publicly acknowledging our gratitude to Ebenezer Tucker Esq. Surveyor of the Customs of the Port of Little Egg Harbour, for his humane and pointed exertions in our behalf in endeavouring to secure and recover the effects & cargoes of the ship's cargo, who were plundered by the unprincipled Shellfish men and Inhabitants on the coast; but we have to regret that when we first grounded, Mr. Tucker was absent at Philadelphia on business, or we have every reason to believe we should have saved property from the wreck to a considerable amount. Witness our hands at the Port of Little Egg Harbour, this 15th day of October 1794. Gherardi, Mate Schneidhauser, Boatswain P. S.

C. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such a new channel to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will retain their names, with the signature of their respective communication in a private book, which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful ideas, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, it is a most effectual way to contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.
