French Revolution.
JUST PUBLISHED. (Price two Dollars.) By MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market street, AN IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, From its Commencement to the execution of the QUEEN and the DEPUTIES of the Gironde Party
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 to that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly presented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colours. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall have dissipated the clouds of political deception, and appeased the tumult of the passions, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which and moderation seldom fail to receive. Extract from the Critical Review, June 1794. 12 Page.
We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusals of those volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in Events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind. M. CAREY will soon about these works Publish, Plowden's history of the British Empire, from May 1792, to December 1793. 12mo. 12eod.

RICHMOND, July 31.
Last week was cast at Mr. Taylor's Brass Foundry in this City, a large bell, for the use of the Federal City—which, on examination by the different Mechanics, is said, in point of proportion and tone, to be equal to any imported bell.
A great majority, almost the whole of the inhabitants of the town, assembled. It being announced to the meeting, that certain gentlemen from the town of Washington, had arrived, and had signified that they were intrusted with a message to the inhabitants of the town relative to present affairs...

Pennsylvania. ff.
In the name, and by the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by
THOMAS MIFFLIN, Governor of the said Commonwealth, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS information has been received, that several lawless bodies of armed men have, at sundry times, assembled in the county of Allegheny within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and being so assembled, have committed various cruel and aggravated acts of riot and arson; and more particularly that on the 17th ultimo, one of the said lawless bodies of armed men attacked the dwelling house of John Neville, Esq. Inspector of the Revenue for the fourth survey of the district of Pennsylvania; and after firing upon and wounding four persons employed in protecting and defending the said dwelling house, set fire to, and totally burned and destroyed the same, together with the furniture and effects therein, and the barns, stables, and other buildings thereto adjoining and appurtenant:
Add whereas it appears from the Proclamation of the President of the United States, bearing date this day, as well as from other evidence, that the outrages and criminal proceedings aforesaid have been undertaken and prosecuted by certain unlawful combinations of persons, who thereby design to obstruct and have actually obstructed the execution of the laws of the United States; and that by reason thereof, in pursuance of the authority in him vested, he has resolved to call forth the militia, for the purpose of suppressing the said unlawful combinations, and of enforcing the execution of the laws so obstructed as aforesaid.
And whereas every good and enlightened citizen must perceive how unworthy it is thus riotously to oppose the Constitution and Laws of our country, (the Government and Laws of the State being herein as much affected as the Government and Laws of the United States) which were formed by the deliberate will of the people, and which (by the legitimate authority) can, in a regular course, be peaceably amended or altered. How incompatible it is with the principles of a republican government, and dangerous in point of precedent, that a minority should attempt to control the majority or a part of the community undertake to prescribe to the whole! how indispensable, though painful an obligation is imposed upon the officers of government, to employ the public force for the purpose of subduing and punishing such unwarrantable proceedings, when the judiciary authority has proved incompetent to the task: And how necessary it is, that the deluded rioters aforesaid should forthwith be brought to a just sense of their duty, as a longer deviation from their duty, as well as injurious to their own happiness, as well as injurious to the reputation and prosperity of their country. AND WHEREAS, entertaining the cause of humanity: Sensibility, in a just sense of my federal obligations, and feeling a perfect conviction of the necessity of pursuing immediate measures to suppress the spirit of insurrection, which has appeared as aforesaid, and to restore tranquility and order—I have heretofore given instructions to the proper officers of the Commonwealth, to investigate the circumstances of the said riots, to ascertain the names of the rioters, and to institute the regular process of the law for bringing the offenders to justice.
Now THEREFORE, I have deemed it expedient, also to issue this proclamation, hereby by publicly announcing my determination, by all lawful means, to cause to be prosecuted and punished, all persons whomsoever, that have engaged or shall engage in any of the unlawful
combinations or proceedings aforesaid: AND FURTHER DECLARING, that whatever requisition the President of the United States shall make, or whatever duty he shall impose in pursuance of his constitutional and legal powers, for the purpose of maintaining the authority, and executing the laws of the United States—will, on my part, be promptly undertaken and faithfully discharged: And all judges, justices, sheriffs, coroners, constables and other officers of the Commonwealth, according to the duties of their respective stations, are hereby required and enjoined to employ all lawful means for discovering, apprehending, securing, trying and bringing to justice, each and every person concerned in the said riots and unlawful proceedings.
Given under my Hand and the Great Seal of the State, at Philadelphia, this seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and of the Commonwealth the nineteenth.
THOMAS MIFFLIN. By the Governor: A. I. DALLAS, Secretary of the Commonwealth.

BOSTON, August 2.
Instances of liberality, as they tend to excite laudable emulation, ought to be mentioned.—In one fire-society, yesterday, near 450 dollars were subscribed for the relief of one of the brethren thereof, who had suffered by the late fire.
We are happy to learn that the proprietors of the rope-walks, burnt on Wednesday, do not intend rebuilding the same. A very fine square will in consequence remain open, capable of affording many valuable house lots, and an excellent place for the contemplated new State-House.
Manufactories, so extensive as those used in making cordage, and containing, as they necessarily must, such quantities of combustible materials, ought never to be erected in the settled parts of a town, and as the proprietors of those lately destroyed, will undoubtedly rebuild, a correspondent cannot fix upon a more convenient and accomodating spot than what is generally called Lechmore's Point.
The distance from town is but one half mile, and the carriage by water to any part of the town would be as cheap as the transportation now is from the wharves:

Mrs. POWNALL,
While grateful for the polite attention of the Ladies and Gentlemen of this metropolis, most deeply regrets the unhappy occasion of her present appeal to the liberality of a generous public. To the bosom of Bostonians, it needs not the tongue of eloquence to plead the cause of humanity: Sensibility, in a just sense of my federal obligations, and feeling a perfect conviction of the necessity of pursuing immediate measures to suppress the spirit of insurrection, which has appeared as aforesaid, and to restore tranquility and order—I have heretofore given instructions to the proper officers of the Commonwealth, to investigate the circumstances of the said riots, to ascertain the names of the rioters, and to institute the regular process of the law for bringing the offenders to justice.
To afford some alleviation to the accumulated distresses, Mrs. Pownall has postponed her intention of a concert for her own emolument, as advertised in Wednesday's Centinel; and will appropriate the receipts of the evening to the relief and accomodation of those whom the merciless ravages of the most destructive of elements, have reduced to the necessity of throwing themselves, for redress, into the arms of their fellow-citizens.
NEW-YORK, August 6. Extract of a letter from a Gentleman dated Norfolk Virginia, 28th July, to his friend in this city.

CHAMBERSBURG, (P.) July 31.
Democratic Society for Bourbon County. Paris June 16, 1794.
Mr. James Smith, from the Committee of Correspondence, presented a copy of sundry resolutions, of a numerous meeting of respectable citizens from different parts of the State, assembled at Lexington the 24th day of May last, tending to adopt measures for obtaining the use of the river Mississippi, and the reduction of the posts on the Western waters now occupied by the British; also a copy of a Remonstrance to the President and Congress of the United States, on the subject contained in the resolutions. And the said resolutions and remonstrance being read, and some time taken up in deliberating upon each of them separately; Resolved unanimously, that the society do approve of all and each of the said Resolutions, and remonstrances.
Resolved, that the members of the society respectively, do recommend it to the citizens of this county, to meet at the Court-House thereof, on Thursday the 19th instant, to take the said resolutions and remonstrance into consideration; and that Messrs. John Allen, Thomas Jones, James Smith and Richard Henderson, be appointed to present and read the said resolutions and remonstrance to the people, and to take their voice on the same; and if they are approved of, to recommend it to the people to elect two men in the bounds of every militia company in this county, to meet at the Court-House thereof, as a county committee, agreeable to the 13th resolution.
Extract from the minutes, JOHN BOYD, S. C.
A very great number of the citizens of Bourbon county, met at the Court-House on the 19th inst. when the Resolutions of the meeting at Lexington, (May 24th) were read and approved; the remonstrance was signed, and two men chosen out of the bounds of each militia company, to constitute a county committee. It is hoped that the citizens of this state in the other counties, will follow the example, as nothing of moment can be effected, but by the joint deliberations, and united exertions of the whole; and as this is a time when every exertion ought to be made for the obtaining our just right, the free navigation of the river Mississippi.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. August 5.
Last week was committed to gaol in Northampton, William Whiting, alias Armstrong—the one-eyed villain, who speculated in the public clothing last month by breaking open and plundering the Continental Stores in this town. He had secured himself and funded his property in a wood in Holland, where he was taken.—He had, in the same way, made some large speculations on the private property of the good citizens in that vicinity, which he deposited in the public Bank.—In attempting to steal the cushion from the pulpit in Holland, a bad spec. he was discovered, pursued and taken.
Much credit is due to Colonel Lyon, who, on discovering the speculator, spared no exertions nor vigilance day and night, till, with the assistance of his neighbors, he made him prisoner, and lodged him in gaol.
LICHFIELD, Con. July 30.
On Monday last, Sergeant Lent Munson, late of the first sub-legion in Gen. Wayne's army, arrived in this town, from captivity among the Ottawa Indians. Mr. Munson's intelligence, observation, and integrity entitle him to full credence.
He was taken by the Indians at their defeat of the party under the command of Lieut. Lowry and Ensign Boyd, escorting the waggons, on the 17th of October last, four and an half miles advanced from Fort St. Clair. The Americans consisted of 100 rank and file; of the Indians there were but 52. How many Americans were killed he knows not; there were only eleven taken prisoners, one of whom, a weakly boy, unable to travel, was killed and scalped. The remaining ten were distributed among the captors, their heads shaved, and made to serve as slaves.
He was carried by his master to their settlement on the Maumee river, thirty miles from its mouth on Lake Erie; where he continued until the 17th of June last, when he made his escape. The warriors had gone off on the 12th to join the main body of the Indians that was forming at the Glaize about 40 miles up the river.
He had before this time learned their
language so far that he could well understand their conversation.
They told him they expected to have a great many warriors collected, enough to cut Wayne's army to pieces; but the traders, there, said if the Indians collected 1600, it would be more than they expected; 1500 they thought it was the utmost the Indians could bring into the field. He says the Indians talk with great confidence of their own superiority in numbers and bravery; and boast that they are not afraid of four to one; they say the American army is made up of cowards and boys. They seem however to stand in awe of General Wayne, though they despise his Men; and from all that he could understand from the Indians and the Traders, he thinks their mode of conducting this Campaign will be by attacking Escorts of provision and detached parties; and that they will not attack the main army unless they find it weakened or exposed.
Mr. Munson escaped by the way of the rapids, Detroit, and Niagara. He saw the new fort erecting by Gov. Simcoe at the rapids of the Maumee, 15 miles from Lake Erie. The party there at work instead of quitting the place, as has been reported, had been lately reinforced by about 100 men. Gov. Simcoe had been there a short time before, but was at Niagara when he came through that place. A regiment called "the first American regiment," or the Queen's Rangers, was raising at Niagara, where the bounty was ten guineas. He was solicited to engage in that corps by a Mr. Fanning, one of Gov. Simcoe's Aids, who told him that they expected a war with this country. They were making great preparations for war, repairing their forts, and arming vessels; three vessels of war were sailing on the lake Erie; two of them carried 12 guns, the other 8; and several gun boats.
The Indians have no expectation of being subdued; they say that when they have cut off two or three more armies of Americans, the United States will make peace with them. On the 4th of June the Indians received their supplies or ammunition for the Campaign from the king's stores.
Foreign politics having almost totally rooted out domestic matter, from the papers, and our brethren of the city not being at leisure to manufacture for us, we shall occasionally depend on the Country Mill for supplies; which, though mere bran and provender, compared with the superfine, double-bolted siftings of a City Mill, may nevertheless—do for the present.
Gleanings—extra—from the Medley; or Country News-Mill.
A cruel calamity befel an indigent family last week: an honest Bailiff, apparently in sound mind, deliberately committed—a poor man to prison. It is astonishing, that in this boasted 'Age of Reason,' such a species of barbarism should be tolerated.
A wanton citizen of a neighbouring town, was a few evenings since in the heat of blood guilty of an assault and battery upon his—understanding, in rashly laying his hand upon a young Woman—in Wedlock; by which inconsiderate act he lost—his breeches, ergo his liberty.—No match ought to be made without putting on the Considering Cap: For though a good wife is preferable to riches; yet a brawling vixen is worse than Mary Magdalen's seven Devils.
Same week an angry Bull,—roar'd on Sunday. A conscientious informing officer complained of the trespass, relying upon a Blue Law of Massachusetts, which made Cyder and Beer liable for working on the Sabbath. It was a clear case; and a writ issued from a learned Pettifogger vi et armis, for violence: The Bull was however acquitted; and in reverse it was made to appear, that the complainant was—an ass—The moral of this case teaches us, that as its most natural to creep before we go, so its equally prudent to THINK before we act; by which means we shall better rid ourselves of ignorant and wicked Civil Officers and Rulers, quack Lawyers and quack Doctors,—the latter of whom are as a swarming pestilence, or as Sampson's foxes among the corn,—destroying all before them.

On another part of this tract is supposed there is a quarry of slate, convenient to water carriage. Upwards of two thirds are in woods. Mr. Enoch S. Lane, living on the premises, will show this tract.
Another tract, in Fairfax county, called Springfield, containing 2040 1-2 acres, about 13 miles from Alexandria and 10 from Washington; abounds with fine springs and meadow ground, and may be seen by applying to Mr. John Wood, living on part of it.
Another tract in Fairfax county, containing 392 acres, on Turkey-cock Run, about 6 miles from Alexandria.
Another tract in Fairfax county, containing about 176 acres, adjoining Mr. J. Watson's seat, about four miles from Alexandria.
Another tract, in Fairfax county, containing 513 acres, near Occoquan, joining Mr. Edward Washington's.
Another tract, in Fairfax county, containing 80 acres or thereabout, within a mile of Pohick Landing, and within five miles of Mount Vernon, lies level, and is well timbered.
An undivided moiety in another tract, containing about 284 acres, in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Washington, & 9 from Alexandria, where J. Robinson formerly lived.
Another parcel of land, within a mile of Alexandria, containing about 24 acres, and to be sold in acre or half-acre lots.
Also, sundry unimproved lots of various sizes, in different parts of the town of Alexandria.
To describe the premises more particularly is deemed unnecessary, as it is expected every person will examine and view whatever part he shall be inclined to buy. My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling so many or such parts of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the first day of August next, and at the time of delivering possession or executing a legal conveyance. The lands remaining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and leased for a term of years. From the 12th day of October next, till the 15th of December, I shall be in the city of Richmond, and after that time I shall remain at home, in Alexandria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particulars, and to enter into contracts.

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 four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connec- ticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Ca- rolina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference 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. Mur- ray's map.

The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American litera- ture, 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 at very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the read- er'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 re- ferred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them. The publisher takes the present oppor- tunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improv- ing 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 perfect- ing his undertaking. The extraordinary encouragement which he has been favored with, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gra- titude—sentiments which time will not ef- face. 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. wstf

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 co-venient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Pater- son's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situ- ated 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 at- tendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business 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 men- tioned estates will be sold are—one thou- sand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionally for each part.

To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, Esq. 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 afferendum. CICERO. The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect 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, ev- ery natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of hu- man nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited 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 imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the fol- lowing 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 nar- rower 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 devi. e in them are particularly much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in oper- ation 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 sim- ilar to that of the counterfeited 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 num- ber 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 o- thers 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 J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to convic- tion the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufac- tured 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 ap- peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy 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 unfinished 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 Re- spective Boards.
