Persons offering proposals, and desiring such alterations, will state them, and the difference they will make in the terms of their contracts. But when either the contracts shall have fixed the times of arrival and departure, or experiment shall have proved those most convenient, those times are afterwards to be regularly attended to, unless changed agreeably to the provision in the first note.

war, in all 45 sail, went to sea from the Bay at 12 o'clock on Sunday last. Captain Green arrived yesterday from Brest, which he left the 5th June. In the beginning of that month or the end of May, there was a naval engagement between 28 English ships of the line and 25 French, in which much damage was sustained by both, and victory remained undecided. The French had several engagements in Flanders in which they were generally successful—Particulars to-morrow. Gen. Adv. Yesterday arrived here in forty-one days from Brest, the brig Maria, Capt. Green. Capt. Green informs that on the 6th June he was boarded by a French frigate of 40 guns; the Captain of which informed him, that on the 30th May and 3d June, the British fleet, consisting of thirty sail, and the French fleet of twenty-five, had two severe engagements, near the British channel, off Scilly—that the two fleets had withdrawn, but no victory was obtained on either side. Three large frigates hove in sight on the 7th ult. the Captain of the frigate suspecting they were enemies, left Capt. Green to proceed on his voyage. In lat. 47, long. 12, Captain Green was boarded by an English Luggar.—On the 27th June spoke the brig Betsey of Boston, bound to Hamburg, out 15 days. July 4. In lat. 40, 11, lon. 53, 30, spoke the brig Pomona of London from Port au Prince; in lat. 38, long. 68, 30, spoke the ship Jane, M c Pheron, from Philadelphia, bound to Hamburg. In lat. 42, 1, long. 46, spoke the brig Amelia of New York, from Port-au-Prince, out 30 days. The foregoing is copied from the Coffee House Marine Intelligence . To-Morrow, Divine Service will be performed in the African Church, in Fifth, between Walnut and Spruce streets,—it being the first opening of the Church, a sermon, suited to the occasion, will be delivered, and a collection made, for the purpose of completing the Building. Worship will begin precisely at 11 o'clock. This evening, is the last benefit for the season at the New Theatre; the proceeds are assigned to Mrs. De Marquie, Madame Gardie, Messrs. De Moulin & Blissett. The selection for the entertainment consists of the Gamester , the Sultan , &c. and will call forth the strength of the Company—Every incitement therefore that can influence taste, fancy and generosity to attend, is addressed to the public. By this Day's Mail. BOSTON, July 11. From Halifax, (N.S.) June 28. The Pigeon , prize to the Blanche and Hussar frigates, arrived the day before yesterday. She has an American register, and appears by that, to be owned in Philadelphia. The circumstances related as the grounds of her capture, are that she sailed from Bourdeaux to the Isle of France —That a gentleman belonging to the Blanche frigate happened to be a prisoner on the Isle of France , at the time she arrived there, and while she was loading. That he asserts, she arrived under French colours, and wore French colours all the time she was there. When she was boarded by the frigates, an attempt was made to sink a number of letters and papers—that they succeeded in part in doing this; but a part of her papers were got possession of, which corroborated the gentleman's testimony above mentioned—that several French gentlemen are passengers on board, who are supposed to be the owner's at least, of a principal part of the cargo. There is on the whole, so much positive evidence, and so many corroborating circumstances to prove the property French that it seems highly probable she will be condemned. From France. Yesterday, arrived a schooner from Brest in 46 days. The French official account of the Defeat of the Duke of York , had not been published when she sailed; but reports of it were in circulation, and it was considered as an event of great importance to the interests of France. Eight or ten prizes were arriving almost every day at Brest. An express boat from the Chesapeake fleet had arrived there, and 42 sail of the line, failed to convoy them in. On his passage the Captain of the schooner spoke the latter fleet, which being joined by vessels from L' Orient and Rochfort, were augmented to 56 sail
of the line; and were then cruising for the provision fleet. The Captain of the schooner further adds, that it was reported at Brest that an English convoy had been carried into L' Orient. From the Columbian Gazetteer . Messrs. Buel & Co. I send you an extract from a letter which I have just received from Montreal dated 22d June. It comes from a native of that place, who is a gentleman of such superior education and extensive knowledge, that few, if any, in that country can be supposed to have a better acquaintance with the disposition of its inhabitants and their present state of politics. If you think proper to insert it in the Gazetteer , it may serve to shew that the Canadians are not so unanimous for war as some have represented them. "I can tell you nothing from this retired place, but that we are in a profound peace, enjoying the most perfect tranquility—and that you know, is one of the greatest blessings that Providence can grant to men, as of all the plagues with which she afflicts the human race, War is the most cruel and disastrous. For this reason I am surprised that there should be in the United States, so great a number of those who are desirous of the latter." Arrivals at New-York.

A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country. The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstructions, navigable to the Susquehannah. Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah. It affords numerous Mill seats, and its course creates large bodies of well watered meadow ground. The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance. Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers. Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets. The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement. The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city. Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles. The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one hundred acres, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians. For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9. Letters directed to George Eddy, at Philadelphia, or this place, will be duly answered.

Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at fifteen dollars, and the price of binding.  6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.   It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage, to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks much full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States; to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage.

Christiana Mills  For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia will be sold by public vendue, two tracts or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved land, on it are a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stable and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mill called Christiana Mills (late Patten's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia—This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other attendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business so very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none.
The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills.  The terms upon which the above mentioned estates will be sold are—one thousand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionably for each part.  Indispensible titles will be made for the property, by

LETTERS on the subject of the Washington Lottery, being by mistake repeatedly addressed to the Commissioners for the City of Washington.
Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber. The commissioners never having contemplated any further concern in this business, than in their assent to receive the bonds and approve the names of the managers. The prizes have been paid and are paying on demand by W. Deakins, Washington, Peter Gilman, Boston, and by the Subscriber.
For the Lottery No. 2, the securities already given will be retained by the commissioners, or transferred by them at their option to the bank of Columbia; and the commissioners will be consulted respecting a judicious and equitable disposition of the houses to be built thereby; their treasury or the bank of Columbia will receive the money intended for the National University, and they will be consulted in the nomination of the 24 managers; but all the responsibility respecting the general disposition of the tickets, and payment of prizes, will rest as in the Hotel Lottery, on the persons whose names are and may be hereafter published as assistants to forward this business with

A New Novel. To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five shillings of a dollar, sewed in marbled paper, half a dollar. Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character. 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 conviction of her integrity, and the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend. The situations are artless and affecting—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.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

The Complainant hath filed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete legal title to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county; one called Painters-Level, containing 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 150 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordecai Cole, & executed to him a bond for conveyance, that the said Cole, on the same day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money amounting to £675 Pennsylvania currency, that the said Cole hath since discharged the whole of the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for conveyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Maryland, and now resides in the state of Kentucky.
It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be inserted least six weeks successively, before the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia, to the intent, that the said John Wells may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in October next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agreeably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

Price 5s AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMEROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street, AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem aferendum. CICERO. The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and permanent freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and fully proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeit Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O. to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger, and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature I. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them; viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unlined state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank of the United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the Representative Boards.

An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of free men to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is injudicious as well as unjust.
