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 Review, April 1791, 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.
of her regularity of her former conduct, is enriched 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 her lover, 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.

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 feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors.

IT CONTAINS
COPIES of all the official docu-
ments and letters, all the resolutions and
proceedings of the house of Assembly,
respecting the impeachment against the
late Francis Hopkinson Esq. Judge of
the court of Admiralty, the testimony
of Messrs. William Budden, Gerardus
Claridge, James Clarke, Matthew Clark-
son, Thomas Fitzsimons, Miles Elston,
William Lewis, Charles Miller, Blair
McClanahan, Robert Morris, F. D. Ser-
geant, Andrew Robson, and William
Watkins as the same had been committed
to writing in 1780, before the magistrates,
the House of Assembly, or before the Su-
preme Executive Council, and the deci-
sion as delivered by president Joseph Reed,
wherein he recapitulated the charges
and testimony, and pronounced an un-
animous acquittal. The remaining pages
contain the impeachment, trial, and ac-
quittal of John Nicholson, Esq. the late
Comptroller-General of Pennsylvania—
This case was argued before the Senate of
Pennsylvania for the space of twenty-
three days, by ten very eminent law cha-
racters, whose speeches are given at full
length; together with every resolution of
both branches of the Legislature, the
yeas and nays on every important question,
together with the final decision and
acquittal by the Senate.
The protest of eight members of the
House of Representatives against the pre-
cipitancy of the measures adopted by the
majority of the same House for the remo-
val of the Comptroller, whilst his trial
was depending before the Senate, and the
reply of the majority to the same protest.
And the oral testimony of the following
gentlemen, to wit, Messrs. Hilary Baker,
William Bingham, Joseph Bage, Clement
and Thomas Biddle, A. T. Dallas, John
Dennaldson, Griffith Evans, Christian Fe-
biger, Albert Gallatin, Alexander Hamil-
ton, Robert Hare, Thomas Hays, Jesse
Morris, Blair McClanahan, Matthew
McConnell, William Montgomery, John
Oldden, Philip Reilly, John Smilie, Abra-
ham Smith, Richard Smith, and Daniel
Strode, as the same had been taken down
in short hand by the editor, who had been
permitted to sit inside the bar of the Se-
nate for that purpose during the trial, to-
gether with copies of thirteen letters from
the Secretary of this Commonwealth, three
from Mr. John Donaldson, from Mr.
Hamilton, Esq. late secretary of the Treas-
ury of the United States, six from the
Governor, twenty-eight from Mr. Ni-
cholson, five from the Comptroller and
Register-General, the instructions of the
Supreme Executive Council to Mr. Ni-
cholson, relative to the exchange of New
Loan Certificates, copies of letters from
Messrs. James Duncan, Christian Febiger,
Albert Gallatin, Jared Ingersoll, William
Lewis and Jared Ingersoll, Matthew
McConnell, Edmund Randolph, Thomas
Smith, Jacob Scurr and Hilary Baker,
and Oliver Wolcott; being written to dif-
ferent persons respecting this business, and
which were read during the trial. Also,
two depositions of Hans Hamilton, which
fill near eleven pages, and one of Mr.
Blair McClanahan's which fills nine pa-
ges; to which is added, a comprehensive
and copious index, by the help of which
any letter or document in the book may
be found. The whole being an accurate
statement of the trial, with the articles of
impeachment, the defendant's answer, the
replication of a new House of Representa-
tives without examining any witnesses,
wherein they "aver, that their charge
of high misdemeanors against him the said
John is true."
The following are extracts from the Speech of one
of the Counsel for the Defendant:
"THE defendant stands impeached on
seven articles of high crimes and misde-
meanors in his official capacity as Com-
ptroller-General of this Commonwealth.
The Representatives of Pennsylvania have
pledged themselves to make good their
charges, and to add countenance and in-
fluence to their prosecution, they have, at
a very great expense to the Common-
wealth, abandoned their duties elsewhere
to pay daily attendance here. To disap-
point them in their favourite object, and
to defend him, is the occasion of my
troubling you at present. It is to be re-
gretted that my indisposition will prevent
me from rendering it in that justice to
which I deem him entitled. But it is no
small consolation to me, that I have been
preceded by able colleagues; and if I had
not, yet that I appear before impartial
judges who will be no less able than will-
ing to render him ample justice."
"I have always thought that Mr. Ni-
cholson was possessed of too many and too
extensive powers to be entrusted to any
man; and if the question at present turn-
ed upon this, I should have been far from
advocating their propriety. If this was
wrong, it was not however his fault; but
it rested with those who thought proper
to entrust them to him, with too few checks
or means of control. I cannot, however,
but consider this as the real grounds of ac-
cusation, and so lament how degrading it
is to human nature, that she affords so
many instances of men, high in popular
favour, becoming envied, suspected, per-
secuted, hunted down and ruined, so that
the old adage of Hoffmann to-day, and
crucify him to-morrow, is not yet out of
date."
"The keen-eyed and quick-scented
committee of investigation, of hunters
and of informers, who have probed ev-
ery channel of information, and searched
every corner for intelligence, have, with
unwearied industry, traced all the un-
counted millions and tens of millions with
which he had been entrusted; and it now
appears, that THAT THE TEMPTATION
HOWEVER GREAT, COULD NOT COR-
RUPT HIM, since nothing has been found
against him, except with respect to the
New Loan Certificates. Hence I am in-
duced to believe, that the public confi-
dence was not misplaced. Months of la-
borious industry have been employed by a
committee, constantly sitting during the
recess of the House, with free access to
his books, papers and official documents,
and yet they have been able to bring for-
ward nothing else against him. He has
undergone this fiery ordeal of more than
inquisitorial persecution; and if he shall
not be found guilty, his character must,
like pure metal doubly refined by an over-
severe heat, appear with unexampled
lustre."
"There is one thing, Mr. Speaker,
which my client has just cause to complain
of. The House of Representatives after
exhibiting their charges, pledged them-
selves to offer proof of the premises; but
upon what grounds did they thus pledge
themselves? Why as to the very essence of
the third article it was on the hearing of
the committee of impeachment; founded
on the hearing of the committee of ways
and means; founded on the hearing of a
man not under oath; and they afterwards
materially altered that charge, on a chit-
chat conversation between the same man,
and a member of the House, as it was re-
ported to the House by that member, and
without requiring any oath from that
member or his informant, or taking any
trouble to enquire into the truth of it."
"By this extraordinary procedure has
the defendant been deprived of that secu-
rity to which every man is, by the laws
and constitution of his country, entitled;
and this too by the very men who have
thought proper to impeach the defendant,
for a supposed violation of the law and
constitution! If he is guilty, they have
certainly been so complaisant as to keep
him in countenance, and he may justly re-
tort upon them, Turpe est doceri cum cul-
pa redarguit ipsum ."
"When it is considered that they are
the sworn guardians of the laws and con-
stitution of the country, they must appear
but with an ill grace as the accusers of
others, at the moment of committing so
flagrant a violation on their part. I allude
to the third article which charges, that
the defendant did 'not consult the Regis-
ter-General nor the Governor; and yet
those who made this charge, knew no-
gally speaking, than any man in Europe.
It appears, indeed, that Mr. Gallatin told
him so; but it also appears that the House
upon this information, unsupported by
any oath or enquiry before themselves, or
a committee, voted the charge true—and
what aggravates their conduct (if it be
capable of aggravation) is, that Mr. Gal-
latin, a leading member in bringing for-
ward the impeachment, now swears, that
as Mr. Donaldson was an officer of go-
vernment they thought he might be heard
without an oath! A British peer, when
sitting on an impeachment, answers upon
his honour; testifying as a witness, he an-
swers upon his oath; but the House of
Representatives have attached to the offi-
cers of government a privilege fancied by
no experience, and reprobated by the
laws and constitution of the country!'"

LONDON, February 19.
An order of council was passed yes-
terday for laying an embargo upon all
vessels in the different ports of this king-
dom.
The vessel from New-Brunswick late-
ly taken by the French, had about 80
masts on board, of different sizes, and
two of them for first or second rates.
February 18.
We yesterday stated that an action
had taken place in the Mediterranean,
between his majesty's frigate Inconstant,
commanded by Captain Montgomery,
and two French frigates, the one of 44
and the other of 24 guns. We are
happy to confirm an account of an acti-
on so honorable to the British flag.—
Capt. Montgomery sunk the 24 gun
ship, soon after which the other struck.
That gallant officer is said to have lost
a leg.
Yesterday accounts were received
from Holland, of a very recent date,
which state, that the French had pro-
ceeded in that country to abolish the
office of Stadholder; that they had
placed the executive government in the
hands of several committees, and had
declared their intention of immediately
establishing a republic founded upon Li-
berty, Equality, and the Rights of Man.
Ambassadors from Denmark & Swe-
den had already arrived among them,
with a view, as it was generally under-
stood of conciliating their mercantile in-
terest in that country. Measures were
intended to be taken with a view of
still keeping up the commercial inter-
course between that nation and this.
Many of the articles which had been
demanded by the French had been pro-
vided, and were ready to be furnished,
according to the terms of the requisition.
Col. Ramfay, who went over some
time ago to Helvetiuss, with a flag of
truce, to enquire into the state of the
British sick, unavoidably left behind in
that place upon the approach of the
French, has returned with the most
pleasing and satisfactory account of the
treatment they receive. They have ev-
ery comfort and convenience which can
be procured for them; and it having
been suggested by the physicians of the
hospital to the French commandant
that some port wine was wanted, he im-
mediately ordered a quantity from Rotter-
dam for the use of the hospital.
It is not true as has been stated, that
our sick are sent into the interior of
France. They are only removed from
Helvetiuss as they recover sufficient-
ly to be removed, for the sake of ac-
commodation in the inland towns, that
place being very much crowded by a
numerous garrison. The attendants
upon the hospital are at present at per-
fect liberty, and may even return to
England when they will.
Col. Ramfay, we understand spent a
week at Helvetiuss, & was entertained
by the French General in the most po-
lite and hospitable manner.
The Dutch were perfectly sincere in
the treaty or agreement which they en-
tered into with captain Shank, previous
to his leaving Helvetiuss, the condi-
tions of which they hoped to be able to
fulfil.
There were French papers at Hel-
vetiuss down to the 5th inst. That of the
4th contained an account of the arrest
of Dubois Crance and another deputy,
accused of having been the partners of
Robespierre.—The system of Moderat-
ism is carried to as great a height as
that of terror ever was.
A fire lately happened at Brest, which
the Frenchmen extinguished with the
Port Wine taken in the Oporto Fleet.
Previous to this it had been selling at
ten pounds sterling per pipe.
The Harmony, Harris, from Phila-
delphia to Bristol, is lost.

not without some loss, as some of the
trainers, unable to support the fatigues
of the march, and the extreme severity
of the weather, were left behind, and
have probably fallen into the hands of
the enemy."
"It is matter of no small satisfacti-
on to acquaint your Royal Highness,
that we have not only saved all the ord-
nance, and most of the other stores de-
posited at Arnheim, but that we have
burnt all the vessels containing forage
and stores upon the Leek, and have de-
stroyed most of the ammunition contain-
ed in 15 ordnance vessels at Rotter-
dam."
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
to the commanders of our ships of
war and privateers, that have or may
have letters of marque against France.
Given at our Court at St. James's, the
9th day of February, 1795, in the
35th year of our reign.

By his majesty's command,
PORTLAND.
By accounts received yesterday, by
a fishing vessel which arrived from Crom-
haven, and brought letters from Ham-
burgh, it is stated, that the Dutch are
about to call a Convention at Amster-
dam, and enter into an alliance offensive
and defensive with France.
The East-India dispatches brought
over by the Nancy packet, contain the
favorable advice of the safe arrival of all
the outward bound East-Indiamen, con-
sisting of more than forty sail, under
convoy of his majesty's ship Suffolk, of
74 guns, commanded by commodore
Rainier.
February 11.
The letters received by the Corunna
mail, dated the 31st January, assure
us, that a total change in the Spanish
ministry had just taken place.
Neither Pamplona nor Rosas had
been taken by the French; but the
French having on the 26th January
made a great breach in the fort of Tri-
nidad, which is near Rosas, the Span-
ish garrison evacuated it the next even-
ing, having previously spiked the can-
non; they were taken up from its fal-
ly ports in boats, and conveyed on
board the Spanish fleet without any loss.
THE BLANCHE FRIGATE.
Minutes of proceedings on board of his
majesty's ship Blanche, Captain Robert
Faulkner Commander.
Sunday, Jan. 4. 1795. We have had
the fortune to bring to an action a French
frigate which after an engagement of five
hours, struck to the Blanche.
At day-light, saw a frigate at anchor
outside of the harbour of Point-a-Petre.
At seven A. M. she got under way, and
kept working under her topsails at times,
to keep company with a schooner. Wran
towards her until nearly within gun-shot
of Fort Fleur d'Epée; then tacked, hove
to, and fired occasionally. Finding the
French frigate not inclined to come out
from the batteries, we made sail to board
a schooner coming down along Grand
Terre.
At eleven A. M. fired a gun, and bro't
her to. She proved an American, from
Bordeaux, and appearing suspicious, de-
tained the master, and took her in tow.
At this time the battery at Grozier fired
two guns at us, and the frigate fired se-
veral and hoisted her colours. None of
the shot reached. Finding her still not in-
clined come out, we made to sail to-
wards Marigalante, under top-sails and
courses.
Monday at 4 P. M.—We tacked and
hove to, took out the American crew and
sent a petty officer, and men into her;—
saw the frigate still under Grand Terre.
At 6 P. M. wore ship and stood towards
Dominico, with the schooner in tow.
At half past eight P. M. saw the frigate
about two leagues astern; cast off the
schooner—tacked, and made all sail.
At a quarter past twelve A. M. Passed
under her lee on the starboard tack, she on
the larboard tack, and exchanged broad-
sides. At half past twelve A. M. tacked,
and came up with her fast; when within
musket shot of her wore, with an intention
to rake us; we wore at the same time,
and engaged her nearly aboard.
At one A. M. Put our helm a starboard,
and ran cross her stern, and lashed her
bowsprit to our captain's; kept firing our
quarter deck guns, and other guns that
would bear into her, and misfired,
which she returned from her tops, and
from her quarter deck guns, ran on a mi-
ship fore and aft. At this time our main
and mizen masts, went over board, and
they attempted to board us but were re-
pulsed.
At a quarter before two, A. M. She drop-
ped astern, (at this time Captain Faulkner
fell.) We got a hawser up and made her
well fast with her bowsprit abreast of our
starboard quarter; the marines kept a con-
stant fire of musketry into her. Finding the
carpenters could not make the ports large
enough, we blew out as much of the up-
per transom beam as would admit the two
aftermost guns on the main deck to be
run out, and fired into her bows. At two
A. M. all her masts were shot away. In
this situation we towed her before the wind
engaging till a quarter past five, when she
called out that they had struck. The Se-
cond Lieutenant and ten men then swam
on board, and took possession of La Pique
of 26 twelve-pounders French.
8 nine ditto ditto.
2 thirty-two, brass carronades.
36, with a number of brass swivels
on her gunwale. At the time of action
we had, away in prizes, 2 master's and
12 men; they had 70 killed, 110 wound-
ed, and about 30 lost with the masts.—
Their complement, at the beginning of the
action, was upwards of 400 men. Our
loss, including Captain Faulkner, is 8 kil-
led, and 21 wounded.
N. B. They came out on purpose to
fight us.
Captain Faulkner himself lashed the
bowsprit of La Pique, to the captain of
the Blanche, and was soon afterwards shot
thro' the heart, by one of the people on
the bowsprit of La Pique.
From the London Gazette, February 17,
1795.
MADRID, January, 28.
By accounts published by this Court of
the proceedings of the enemy before Rosas
dated the 11th instant, it appears that the
place still held out, notwithstanding the
evacuation of the small Fort de la Trin-
idad; that the operations of the enemy
had been considerably slackened by some
deep falls of snow, and the general incl-
emency of the weather; and that a spir-
ited enterprise had been executed by a small
body of Spanish volunteers, on the en-
emy's Park of Artillery, in which they
succeeded in spiking 14 guns, having kil-
led and made prisoners of near 150 Artil-
lerymen.
Accounts have also been received here,
that on the 10th instant, Admiral Langara
in cruising off the coast of Catalonia, fell
in with and captured the French Frigate
l'Epipenie, of 32 guns, which had sailed
from Toulon on the 4th instant, in com-
pany with La Vésu. They had been sepa-
rated three days before in a storm, in
which it is supposed that La Vésu was
lost.
The greatest part of the French Fleet
under the command of Monsr. Villaret,
has reached Brest. Seven arrived there
on one day, nine on another, and two
were towed in totally disabled. The re-
mainder have got safe into L'Orient, ex-
cept one of 80 guns, which foundered at
sea, and most of the people on board of
her perished. The information is receiv-
ed by a gentleman who left Brest the be-
ginning of last week.
The Excise officers have been all on duty
within these last few days, taking the
flock in hand in wine cellars, preparatory
to the new duties on wine, which will
form part of the Budget. It is said that
the new duty on Port will be 7s. a pipe.—
The duty is to include all the flock on
hand immediately on the passing of the Act
of Parliament.
The letter from General Harcourt, in
Saturday's Gazette, is extremely satisfac-
tory, so far as it contradicts a variety of
reports in circulation, of our army hav-
ing been harassed very much in their re-
treat to Deyventer.
One hundred and ninety vessels of all
sizes were lying in the Bommel when
the French gained possession of the
place. An immense quantity of cloth-
ing and stores for our army was on board
these vessels, of which the remnant of
our unfortunate troops will now feel
most heavily the want.
Nineteen open boats, loaded with
unfortunate emigrants, arrived at Har-
wich on Thursday last; they reported
that the number of people who were ea-
ger to get away was very great, and
that there were not boats nor vessels of
any kind in proportion to the demand.
The Dutch were so afraid of their
allies, that they drew all their ships up
into the canal of Amsterdam, that they
might not be either carried off or burnt
by the English, as the ships were at
Toulon, but be reserved whole and en-
tire for their more friendly enemy the
French.
SPAIN.
The letters received by the last Corunna
mail, contain some interesting particu-
lars relative to the French invasion into Cata-
lonia and Biscay. The following corre-
spondence will enable the public to form
a correct judgment of what is passing in
Spain.
PANTORBO, in Old Castile, Jan. 20.
It was, by means of treason, that the
Republicans yesterday made themselves
masters of the fort of Iron, St. Sebastian

and Pamarabia. To compass that end, they had bribed a certain number of inhabitants who informed them of the state of the country as well as a part of the army, who laid down their arms in posts which were impregnable. Being in possession of Tolosa, they penetrated into Navarre, and marched straight to Pampeluna, where they kept up a secret correspondence with some inhabitants, who promised to surrender the place. But General Uretia, the man who distinguished himself in the Russian army at the capture of Oczakow, kept them in awe by the division of troops under his orders, and protected Pampeluna more by the efforts of his genius, than by the number of his troops, which was far inferior to that of the enemy. Whilst he was thus checking their progress, the commander in chief General Columera, had time to trace the conspiracy, which had surrendered into the hands of the French the above forts, and was to put them in possession of Pampeluna and other important places in Navarre. The Governor of Pampeluna was immediately changed: a part of the garrison replaced by other troops, and all the other posts were put in the most respectable state of defence. The Republicans, by sacrificing an immense number of men, at length succeeded in forcing back General Uretia; and approaching Pampeluna within the distance of a league and a half, they were informed of the discovery of the plot for the surrender of the town, and of the change which had taken place with respect to the means of defence. The French did not dare to advance further. The corps, commanded by General Uretia, having in the mean time been reinforced, he formed a vigorous attack on several of their posts, that they were forced to evacuate Navarre, to give up their design on Pampeluna, and to fall back to Tolosa.
"Since that time, nothing has happened but trifling affairs of posts; and the inactivity of the season has put a stop to all war-like operations. The most vigorous preparations are, however, making for the next campaign. For their two or three months past, a great number of men have been busily employed in forming an entrenched camp near this place (Pantorbo) which are daily marching considerable numbers of recruits, which are raised without the least difficulty."
BARCELONA, January 18.
"The defeat near Boulou was caused partly by treason, and partly by the jealousy of some officers, who commanded under the orders of Count de la Union. About the middle of November, the Republicans formed a general attack on all our posts. General de la Union at first maintained his post, and killed a great number of the enemy's troops. But on the second day, being abandoned by some of his general officers, and the troops they commanded, after the most gallant defence of his position, he was at last obliged to give way before the enemy's great superiority in numbers. Unable to survive the disgrace of his army, he fought and found his death in the heat of the action."
"During the retreat the Marquis de las Amali-lles, whose conduct had excited much suspicion during the whole of the campaign, called in the remnants of the army near Figueres. But this place, one of the strongest fortresses in Europe, provided with a garrison of 9000 men, and an immense quantity of ammunition and provisions, which might have held out six months against any army of 50,000 men, without firing one single shot, without even being besieged, surrendered to the Republicans as soon as their army appeared before its gates."
"This unexpected event struck all with amazement, and exposed it to an invasion of the enemy. But it also routed all its inhabitants; who are now assembling in great force to check the further progress of the enemy. General Uretia, who is arrived from Navarre, to take upon himself the command of the Catalonian army, has inspired the Catalonians with so much confidence, that they daily join it in great numbers. Since that period, the French have limited their operations to the siege of Rosas, a small place, the fortifications of which are old, and which the Republicans would have taken by assault, but for the excellent measures of defence adopted by its gallant Governor, Izquierdo. The French began the siege of this place on the 1st of December last year; and although it is the weakest of all the Spanish fortresses hitherto attained by the Republicans, yet it withstands all their efforts with unabated vigour, seconded by some gun-boats, which greatly annoy the enemy. The French have, however, taken Trinidad, which had been previously evacuated by the Spanish force."
SPAIN.
In contradiction to the pretended Accounts from Spain, inserted in yesterday's Chronicle, the following particulars are taken from authentic Letters received by the last Packet, under date of the 31st of January.
The French are not only not making further progress in the province of Biscay, but their army reduced to a very small number by sickness and fatigue, has even been compelled to abandon that Province. Their Head-quarters were again at Bayonne: They had left garrisons in the conquered towns. The fall of snow had been excessive in that quarter.
Rosas defends itself vigorously. We have particular intelligence, that a Spanish post of 50 men, had been surrounded by 500 Republicans: they laid down their arms, and begged for quarter; but they were all put to death by order of the
French commanders. Admiral Gravina, informed of such an event, gave orders for the disembarkation of 1200 men beyond Rosas. These troops surrounded and formed the post, and put to the sword the whole of the 500 men, 27 only excepted, in which number were the two French commanders. Their 25 comrades having affirmed it was by their orders, the 50 Spaniards had been murdered; Admiral Gravina held a council of war, which condemned the two French officers to be shot, which was executed on the quarter-deck of the ship.
The levies for the Spanish army, and the rising in a mass, went on with much ardour and spirit. The indignation against the Republicans is, throughout Spain, at the highest pitch.
The Marquis del Socorro, Ci-Davant Don Solano, was on the eve of sailing from Cadiz with a Squadron and a reinforcement of troops for the colony of St. Domingo. That general is to replace the old stupid president Don Garcia, who did so much mischief in that colony. He has orders to act jointly, and to concert every operation with His Britannic Majesty's troops and fleets, for the preservation and welfare of that important colony.
A loan of 50 millions of Reaux de Veillon in annuities, has been opened, and wholly filled by the Marquis of Iranda, Banker to the court.
HOSTAGE PRINCES.
Particulars of their reception by their father, Tippoo Sultan.
These illustrious pledges arrived at Duonelly, about thirty miles from Bangalore, by easy marches, and paid a visit of ceremony at Colar, the Tomb of their Grandfather, Hyder Ally, on the 28th of May.
At Duonelly, Tippoo Sultan, with 10,000 men, had been encamped from the 18th of March, anxiously expecting their approach.
On the 29th at noon, the Princes, with their numerous suite, accompanied by Captain Doveton, proceeded on their visit to the Sultan, who received them in a very superb pavilion, inclosed within a wall of extraordinary extent. The Sultan was seated at one extremity and on each side, at suitable distances, were placed, according to their several ranks, about forty or fifty of his principal attendants.
On their entrance into the Pavilion the young Princes sprang forward to the throne where their Royal Father sat, and prostrated themselves before it, and here the etiquette of Asiatic Courts completely put nature to flight; — for the Father instead of advancing to embrace his darling children contented himself with coldly placing a hand on the neck of each, and on the instant the Princes arose, and respectfully retired. It is a remarkable fact, that not a syllable was exchanged at this extraordinary interview.
Captain Doveton was next presented and placed on the right hand of the Sovereign, who conversed with him on European topics for more than an hour and a half. He was afterwards regaled with beetle, cloves, and a variety of Asiatic dainties, on a service of gold plate.
The Sultan, during the interview, did not rise from his seat, which was a square cushion, covered with crimson velvet, slightly embroidered with gold; on his side was placed a sword and some papers, and on them a gold snuff box, apparently of European Manufacture.
Tippoo has a very majestic deportment, and is of the middle stature, with a countenance very expressive. His eye particularly animated and scrutinizing, his nose large, with oblique dilated nostrils; his mouth small, with thick lips, and an eminence towards the centre of the upper lip, which projects but is by no means unhandome.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, April 3- 1795.
Capt. Williams, from Guadalupe, in 14 days, informs us, that no troops had been embarked from that Island, for any expedition whatever; though a large number had been kept for some time in readiness, for a secret expedition, but their destination was a profound secret.
NEW-YORK, April 13.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Rufs of Philadelphia, to a gentleman in this city, dated March 23d, 1795.
"A DISEASE, called the pleurisy, has proved fatal to many people in Philadelphia, as well as in several neighbouring counties and states during the last winter, and the present month. It appears to be a continuation of the Bilious Remittent of last autumn, accompanied only with Pleuretic Symptoms, which symptoms are by no means universal. The stomach, bowels and head are frequently affected in this fever. It requires not only very copious bleeding, but daily purges with calomel, and jalap to subdue it. By means of these remedies, I have, out of upwards of an hun-
dred cases, lost only two patients, and they were in the last state of the disorder before I saw them. I have, in one case, been forced to take 120 ounces of blood at thirteen bleedings in eight days before the disease yielded; and in another, I have, in consultation with Dr. Phyfick, taken 30 ounces of blood at four bleedings in seventeen hours. The pulse in the last case was so depressed as scarcely to be perceptible. It rose in the most sensible manner after each bleeding. The patient a delicate Lady, is now out of danger. From the observations I have long ago made, and which experience has lately fully confirmed, I am satisfied, that where Physicians are not almost uniformly successful in curing Febrile diseases, they are under the influence of erroneous theories or if their theories be true, their practice is too feeble to overcome the disease."

Extract from a late charge delivered by Judge Walton of the State of Georgia.
The Solicitor General has informed me, that, among the objects of criminal enquiry, is a charge of a parent murdering its bastard infant. This is a crime so shocking to nature that the human mind is prompt to condemn. We should therefore be cautious. It is impossible, because it is unnatural, and the clearest proofs should precede conviction. On this occasion also we should guard our minds against another prejudice. The crime of bastardy is distinct from that of murder; and must have no influence on this case. The connexion of the sex with man is natural; the rites of marriage are artificial; But the principles of justice are eternal. The shame too, which imperious man has fixed upon the feeble woman, should weigh in the scale of mercy.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, April 14.
Extract of a letter from Montreal, dated March 29.
"Last Wednesday morning early, near the Wind-mill, was fought a duel between Capt. Schoedde, and Lieut. Holland, of the second battalion of the 60th regiment. Captain S. had the first fire, his ball entered the lower part of the belly, a little above the hip bone, came out on the opposite side, and broke the left arm near to the wrist—notwithstanding this desperate wound, Lieutenant H. fired his pistol, the ball lodged in captain Schoedde's right arm, which was in a position across the breast, broke the bones of the arm, and shattered them very much. Lieut. H. died of his wounds about 12 o'clock at night. Capt. S. is in great pain, from the wound in his arm—but there is little danger of his losing his life."
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, Jan. 31.
A late Madrid Gazette contains the following article:—The late news from our army is not of the most consolatory nature; there has been a new action in the Eastern Pyrenees; it was very severe, and the result was, that the French obtained possession of several posts upon the confines of Catalonia.
From Navarre they write, that the enemy having obtained a victory in that quarter, were advancing towards Pampeluna, to which they have laid siege; this place is very strong, and has been put in a state of defence.
The greatest consternation notwithstanding reigns in the province of Biscay as great numbers of the fugitive inhabitants take refuge in Saragossa and Madrid.
The Post master at Braunfallen, in Moravia, who stopped M. de la Fayette in his late attempt to escape, has been rewarded with a gold medal which he wears in public.
The Editors of the Leyden Gazette have requested permission to print that Journal in future at Altena; and the Danish Government has granted them leave to settle there, with the usual privilege.
Dispatches and private letters from Bengal, Madras, and St. Helena, were yesterday received at the India House; they bring a confirmation of the recapture of the Princess Royal by the Orpheus frigate, after an engagement of sixty five minutes, in which we had only one man killed. The Princess Royal's crew consisted of 403 men, 40 were killed, and 60 wounded; and the prisoners carried with the ship to Madras, with a French vessel, laden with slaves, and a Dane.
Our fleet are stated to have taken three privateers. The Centurion, Diomede and Orpheus, frigates, were preparing for a cruise from Madras, to sweep the Indian seas of the French depredators. Commodore Mitchell, with his squadron, were at Batavia.
PARIS, January 27.
In the evening of January 21, the people celebrated a fete of their own invention; namely, that of the evil of Jacobinism. An effigy with a double face, representing on one side a Royalist, and on the other a Jacobin, was in procession carried through the streets, and afterwards burnt before the ancient den of the Jacobin monsters, who inundated France with streams of blood. Under continual shouts of applause, the ashes were collected in a chamber pot and carried to the common sewer, the mob crying out,—Plus de Jacobins! Vive la Convention!
The double effigy wore a crown on its head: round, black hair; a red shirt; red pantaloons, and blood seemed to flow from every pore. With its left hand it pressed to its bosom a portfolio, well-stocked with the produce of pillage; and in its right hand it held a poignard, the emblem of terrorism. It was seated on a kind of throne, somewhat like in shape to the elbow chair, which was occupied by Robespierre in the Commons of Paris, when he was arrested and sent to the Conciergerie. Its mouth, wide open, seemed to be parched with thirst, which caused some wags to exclaim—"Why don't you refresh him with a good draught of human blood; you see he is dying with thirst."
The procession having arrived in the Court Yard of the Jacobins, a profound silence ensued, and one of the people in their name, read the following act of accusation against the double faced figure:
"I accuse thee of having fifteen months together, pillaged and devastated the Republic; of having arrested French citizens, and assassinated the people of France. I accuse thee of a design to dissolve the Convention, to destroy its members, and reduce France to the most abject state of thralldom. I charge thee also, with having wickedly opposed all the beneficent decrees of the Convention in favour of confined citizens; all the laws of justice, and every principle of reason; and with having supported the seditious address of Dijon, & other writings of the same description, for the purpose of counteracting the benevolent intentions of the Convention. I accuse thee of having undertaken the defence of the arch scoundrel Carrier, and declared that thy own body should serve him for a rampart. Lastly, I accuse thee of all the calamities which have distressed, and do still distress, France; in expiation of which, I demand that thou be burnt alive, on the very spot which was the principal theatre of thy crimes."
This judgment being passed by unanimous acclamation of the assisting multitude, a funeral pile was dressed, and the double faced figure thrown on it, with repeated and uninterrupted shouts of Down with the Jacobins, the Royalists, the Terrorists! Long live the Republic, Long live the Convention!
In order to render the impression of this mock-execution more powerful, it was followed by a real one, viz. that of the
Jacquin Maurin, the assassin of the patriot Oilier, who was guillotined the day following; and whose death elicited the revival of the day, which by some is called the celebration of the death of the tyrant; and by others, the funeral of the Jacobins.

CAPE FEAR LIGHT HOUSE,
is situated near to Bald Head, a noted bluff on Cape Fear Island, at the Mouth of Cape Fear River, on which River is built the Town of Wilmington in North Carolina. The Iron lantern is ten feet nine inches in diameter, and about fifteen feet nine inches in height, from the floor to the top of the roof. It was first lighted on the night of the 23d December 1794.
The light house bears W. N. W. from the point of the Cape four miles distant; and N. W. by N. from the extremity of the Frying pan shoal, distant eight leagues.
In sailing from the Eastward bring the light to bear N. N. E. and then steer in North, which will carry a vessel clear off the shoal, and bring her a short distance to the westward of the Bar. Observe however, if it is in the night, not to come into less than seven fathom water. — If there is a necessity of sailing over the Bar without a Pilot, bring the house to bear North or N. half East and steer directly in for it, until the vessel is close in with the Beach, and then for the Port, which bears from thence about North, and is plainly in light.
The Channel over the Bar is direct, and of a good width.
It may be further necessary to observe to strangers, that in passing the shoal, especially in a dark night, it is most prudent to steer west in latitude of 33° 20', or 5 atmost, until they bear in their water to seven or eight fathoms. By doing this they may be sure of being to the westward of the Bar.
The following American vessels were advertised in a Liverpool paper of 12th February.

On pense que la vue de ces terres on don- nera une plus haute idée qu'aucun descripti- on qu'on pourroit en donner.

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, af- fording convenient and handsome building grounds; there 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 stocked 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 ap- ple 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.

50,000 Tickets at 8 dollars 400,000
This Lottery will afford an elegant speci- men of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful de- signs 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 neces- sary expences of printing, &c., and the sur- plus 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 real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by ap- pointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a se- cond time on behalf of the public; a suffi- cient number of those having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni- versity and the other federal objects may con- tinue 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 se- lection of the best materials, ancient and mod- ern, will be submitted to the public when- ever 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 ex- istence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Eu- rope, 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
