THE LEVEL
OF
Europe and America, By PIERRE EGRON, L. L. D. from
FRANCE.
The Following is an interesting Extract from this work.
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
FIRST SECTION.
Of the Price of Land in newly formed nations.
We find a great disparity in the price of land, according as it is inhabited, by savages or civilized men. Nature alone provides for the existence of the former, therefore the land occupied by them does not represent any capital, of which its products may be considered as the income. Whereas on the contrary, every thing belonging to the existence of civilized man may be considered as a capital, and the land which he inhabits, constitutes the whole ground of its valuation, because the land alone supplies him both with food and the raw materials necessary to his industry. From this truth we must conclude that the land being the source of every thing, is the true capital of the wealth of civilized man. Money, which is called a capital, is so denominated merely as it represents the value of things. If you take from it its representative function it will become a mere material product of the earth. Land is therefore the only true capital, and whatever it does or may produce is the yearly interest of this capital.
This capital and its yearly interest are easily ascertained in a country whose population is full grown. Let us take France as an instance; its surface contains 21,800 square miles of 60 to 12 to a degree under the equator, consequently it contains 136,211,000 acres computing 640 acres for a square mile, its land rent is estimated to be 1,100,000,000 livres. In which computation are included the produce of the land and the rent of buildings of every sort, in cities, towns, villages and hamlets. Therefore if we estimate this produce at the rate of 4 per cent. of the capital which it represents, we find that this latter must be fixed at 27,500,000,000, and the average price of every acre is 236 French livres, including rivers, ways, barren mountains and other places inaccessible to human industry, nevertheless there are acres in cities which at the rate of 200 livres a square fathom, are worth more than two millions of French livres; there are also others in the country which are worth more than 1000 livres.
Lands in a newly formed nation are not susceptible of a similar valuation; for the moment of their becoming possessed of the lands was to them the creator of the world. The soil is uncultivated, it wants inhabitants, and the price to be given for an acre is but the discount, of the real value it will bear, when it be provided with husbandmen or become a part of a city; but in a country enlightened by reason, that period will form a remarkable era, at which a world as yet in an infant state receives the first germs of a people who a hundred years hence will make known their power. Let us contemplate for instance the future splendor of the United States in a century hence.
It was in 1681 that William Penn laid the foundation of the colony, which retains his name (Pennsylvania) and has rendered him immortal. Philadelphia is now its capital, it was then but its nursery. At that time about 2,000 Europeans having landed with Penn, on this till then unknown land, dispersed themselves in the country to demand of the earth its productions. A very small part of them were employed in the arts of first necessity, and were the inhabitants of the town. It was then, that Penn in order to pay his Coachman two year's wages which were due, offered him a lot of ground in that growing town, which was then estimated at about 200 French crowns. This same ground was already in 1784 worth more than 16 millions of French livres. Hence it is demonstrated that the United States, and almost all new nations, defined by civilization, to a high degree of prosperity, presents a natural progression of riches far superior to the greatest prodigies which have appeared in the old world, and not to advance any thing unsupported by the comparative experience of the two hemispheres, I will again call the attention of my readers to Europe.
Its newspaper in 1784 proposed as an object worthy of admiration, the execution of the last will of the Judge of
Norwich in England, who died in 1724. He had left by his will a sum of 66,000 French livres, to be employed, after the expiration of 60 years, in establishing a public school, which was to cost one million and eight hundred thousand French livres. This sum was accumulated, and the establishment was about to be effected, but in this instance we see a capital put out only at the compound interest of five per cent. per annum, and in the progression of the ground alluded to in Philadelphia, we perceive a capital producing merely a compound interest of 1 1/2 per cent. per annum, the capital of the Judge of Norwich would at that rate have increased in 60 years to the amount of 33 millions 200,000 French livres, instead of 1,800,000 only. In like manner as the 200 crowns proposed by William Penn's coachman, in a lot of ground in Philadelphia would have amounted in 1784 to only 78,002 French livres, instead of the said 16 millions, had the price of that land risen every year only at the rate of a compound interest of 5 per cent. But it is known to the Americans, who will be the first to read this work, that their lands exhibit every day more rapid progressions. We shall adduce some instances of this sort, nor is it possible to suspect the truth of facts laid before such readers.
In the year 1761 Mr. Farlay purchased of Colonel Bird for the price of 1,000 guineas, 33,000 acres of land situate in the state of North-Carolina on the banks of the river Dan, for which, six months before Mr. Maxwell had refused to give him 500 guineas; this latter circumstance is a proof that one thousand guineas were a good price for these 33,000 acres in 1761, in 1772 was offered 2800 to Mr. Farlay for this same land; his capital had therefore been put out at a compound interest of 35 per cent. per annum; this instance is taken from the relation of Mr. Smith's travels through North-America in 1784, and yet from his writings he cannot be considered as a partisan of North America.
In an advertisement printed in 1784 to dissuade Europeans from coming to the United States with chimeraical hopes, Doctor Franklin has enumerated the real advantages to be found; in that number is the progressive value of lands; he states that he had often seen vast tracts of land which paid 28 fous per acre raised in the course of 20 years to 4 livres per acre; though they had remained in the same state. Now 28 fous amounting to 4 livres in 20 years are let out at the interest of 18 per cent. which doubles the capital every four years and two months, and returns it nearly 29 times in 20 years.
In 178 the military lands situate in the state of New-York to the north of Pennsylvania, and south-east of lake Ontario, were sold at 8 dollars per soldier's lot of 300 acres, or 2 pence 88-100ths and about 3 fous per acre; in 1794 an acre of these same lands is sold for a dollar or 108 fous, now 2 fous and 11-12ths amounting to 1 8 in ten years are let out at the interest of 43 per cent. which doubles the capital every two years and returns it 36 times in 10 years.
In 1787 the state of New-York sold at public vendue, at 9 pence per acre, many thousand acres, situate above the Susquehanna river, below the Cheningo, we are assured that the same lands are sold now from a dollar to a dollar and an half and more per acre; now when 9 pence of New-York, or 10 fous 2-11ths amount in 7 years to a dollar, or 1 8 fous, they are let out at the interest of 4-23-100ths per cent. the interest is the same as mentioned above, and doubles the capital in 2 years, with in a few days.
In the district of Maine, at 20 miles from the sea, on Pleasant river, which empties itself into the harbour of Fundy lands, which we are assured had been sold at 22 cents per acre, at the end of 1791 were sold at Philadelphia in August last at the rate of 98 cents per acre, now 21 cents amounting in two years and an half, are let out at 73 per cent. per annum, compound interest, the capital was doubled every thirteen months.
In 1784 and 1785, the state of Pennsylvania bought from the Indians, about 13 millions of acres and sold them again at different prices from 6 to 17 pence of Pennsylvania or from 7 fous 1-12th to 20 fous 4-12ths, it is asserted that now the same lands are worth from 5 shillings or 3 livres 12 fous 2-12ths to 3 pounds or 43 livres 4 fous per acre, we shall take notice only of the lowest progression from 6 pence to 5 shillings in 10 years. This is a compound interest of 26 per cent. per annum which doubles the capital every three years.
Every acre of land in the United States which has now a value, had less value some years ago, and furnishes an
instance of the progression of capitals among new people, a great many fortunes which would be reputed immense in Europe have been raised by this kind of speculation, however the integrity which must characterize this work compels us to inform our readers that those operations require a great deal of sagacity, imprudent speculators are not always successful but these instances accompanied with this observation will evince that Europeans, under the direction of men of judgment and integrity, cannot have a more rapid means of increasing their fortunes, of this the United States furnish a proof, the Antilles, Surinam, Terra Firma, Louisiana, in a word, all the settled parts of America give more or less the same testimony.
† See the Gazette de France, of the 13th of August 1784, number 65. England furnishes many other instances. It is to be regretted by Europeans that the United States want yet some plan of operation to help to direct the prudent monied man of the old world, to accumulate their capital on the lands of the new world, confident sums would then flow from Europe into the United States, to the great advantage of agriculture, and in the following section it is partly demonstrated that these speculations would not be less favourable to the European governments. I had conceived in Europe the idea of those operations, it is my with not to quit the United States, without having realized it; it is worthy the zeal of citizens who love their country.
BIOGRAPHY.
OF
EDWARD GIBBON ESQ.
This illustrious historian closed on the 16th of January last, a life of 57 years, which had been eminently devoted to literature. He was the celebrated author of "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," and of some other publications, which probably will last as long, as the English language. We believe he was the last of an ancient and honorable family, long resident in the Weald of Kent. He was born at Putney 1737; and was sent at a very early age, to the grammar-school at Kingston, from which he was removed to Westminster school. On his leaving that seminary, he went to Lausanne, where he studied under the father of the present Mrs. Necker, with whom he lived till his death on the most friendly terms.
About 1768, he returned to England, and took possession of his paternal estates. Under the administration of his friend Lord North, he was chosen a member of Parliament and appointed a Lord of trade; and upon his Lordship's resignation, returned to Switzerland, where he proposed to have spent the remainder of his life in study and retirement. But about 3 years since he paid a visit to his friends in London; and lately, gave a proof of the goodness of his heart, in sacrificing every consideration, and quitting his elegant abode, solely to administer every consolation in his power to his dearest friend, who had lost his lady; one of the most amiable women in England. He had lately undergone the palliative operation for the hydrocele; but the immediate cause of his death was the gout in his stomach. His sufferings were short; for he enjoyed his usual flow of spirits, and conversed, with as much gaiety as he writes, the night before his death, remarking that he thought that there was a probability of enjoying thirteen or fourteen more years of life; but had not been long in bed before he was seized with excruciating pains. He endeavored to swallow some brandy, but in vain. He then made a signal for his valet to leave the room, and in a few minutes expired. On the 23d his remains were carried out of town, to be deposited in the mausoleum of Lord Sheffield's family in Suffolk.
At Sheffield place he had passed a great part of his time, during the last twenty-five years, except while he was in Switzerland; and had there composed a considerable part of his immortal history. Mr. Gibbon possessed uncommon strength of memory, and a mind better stored with knowledge and anecdote, than perhaps, any man of the age. His conversation was lively and entertaining in a supreme degree, and will never be forgotten by his friends. He has left behind him, at his charming house at Lausanne, a library, which, though not very numerous in its contents, nor remarkable for the condition of the volumes, is, as may reasonably be supposed, one of the best, that ever was selected by an individual; and which, it was presumed, that he had left either to Lord Spencer or Lord Sheffield: but he has given every thing, indiscriminately, to a young Swis's gentleman, to whom he was remarkably attached, and who accompanied him last year, in a visit to this country.
We are sorry to learn that Mr. Gibbon, so distinguished in the annals of literature, has not left any new work for publication; but hear, that among his papers, sketches are found of memoirs of his life and writings (in which are introduced the most eminent characters in Europe, and many interesting circumstances of the times) but in a very imperfect and unfinished state. It is hoped, that his friend, Lord Sheffield, who is so well acquainted with every thought of this extraordinary person, and with every circumstance of his life and is so capable of the work, will arrange
continue, and finish these memoirs, to satisfy the public with so interesting an account of an entertainment. Mr. Gibbon was a literary club, which has lately lost two of its distinguished members, the very respectable bishop of Peterborough, and the not less celebrated Mr. Gibbon. This club originally founded by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Dr. Johnson, has now subsisted thirty years; and during the last twenty, has been deprived of the following eminent characters, Dr. Goldsmith, Mr. Samuel Dyer, Mr. Beauclerk, Mr. Garrick, and Ashburnham, Dr. Johnson, Mr. T. Warton, Dr. Adam Smith, bishop Sturley, Sir Joshua Reynolds, bishop Hinchcliffe and Mr. Gibbon.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
I OBSERVE in your paper of last night some pretty severe strictures on the French, copied from the New-York head; the author of which concludes, that there is no standard of patriotism in France, and that the people know not what form of government to adopt to obtain it—What a pity that they do not send for this sapient author to inform them—What a pity that the most numerous and most gallant nation in Europe have not his supreme talents to conduct them through this awful crisis!
No doubt we know much more than the French in all political truths, and could much better than they have done, have steered them through the war; but yet as they do not ask for our advice, and as I doubt after all whether our neutrality would admit of our giving it, if it were asked, would it not be full as well, if we left them to themselves, and left the censure of them to their enemies only—unless indeed we have any ambition to be of the party in the crusade against them; tho' from the success it has hitherto met with, it hath not the strongest attractions to engage us.
Yours, A BYESTANDER.
From the American Minerva.
MR. GREENLEAF, Printer of the New-York Journal.
In your last papers, I find certain severe animadversions on Mr. Jay and his Mission. One writer mentions exultingly Mr. Jay's unsuccessful embassy to Spain; and another says of him, "the public have nothing as yet whereon to form their judgment of his skill at negotiation."
Let us, Sir, have facts, and the public will form a very just judgment as to both these points.
As to the ill success of Mr. Jay in Spain, this was owing almost wholly to the intrigues of the old French Court—that court assisted us during our struggle for independence, and to whom, it is said, we owe a world of gratitude. That court, while furnishing us with fleets and brave armies to fight for us, was uniformly intriguing, with Spain more especially, to prevent our independence. Their influence with the court of Spain could not be counteracted. Spain was alarmed at the idea of an Independent nation in the neighborhood of her possessions and claims in Florida and Louisiana.
This jealousy was most obvious in the negotiations for peace in 1783, in which Mr. Jay's skill at negotiation was most amply displayed. Mr. Jay had to contend, not only with the united courts of France and Spain, but what was worse, with the weakness of Dr. Franklin, [peace to the venerable Philosopher and patriot] over whom Vergennes and the French court had gained such an ascendancy, as to persuade him to abandon our most important interests.
The facts were nearly these. It was the object of the French and Spanish courts, either to prevent an acknowledgment of our Independence by a long truce of 40 or 50 years; or at least to prevent that recognition from making a part of the preliminary articles of a treaty of peace. This point was labored by Mr. Jay with indefatigable zeal, patriotism and skill at negotiation. He demonstrated the impropriety and the impracticability of nations treating with us, upon other terms than as an Independent people. It is even said he was compelled at last by the obstinacy of the French court, to threaten the making a separate peace with Great-Britain, if the French would not accede to this preliminary.
Again. The objects of the French and Spanish Courts were, to bound the United States on the West by the Ohio, and by a line to the southward which would have cut us off from a great portion of territory now in Georgia—like-wise to prevent our having a share in the Newfoundland fisheries. These points were labored hard by the French and

British Courts. Mr. Jay contended for the present boundaries of the United States, and obtained them. Mr. Adams arrived in time to take a share of the honor in this negotiation, and his firmness and decision were united with those of Mr. Jay; but the principal point was obtained solely by Mr. Jay. Principally to Mr. Jay's patriotism, zeal and ability, are the United States indebted for one third of their territories and a share in the fisheries. I wish Mr. Greenleaf, these facts to be published in your Journal. For the truth of them, you are referred to the official papers in the Secretary's office.
That the appointment of the chief justice in this business was contrary to the letter of the Constitution, is not true; that it was contrary to its spirit, is a doubtful point with some people. With me there is no doubt; I believe it unconstitutional. Mr. Jay has no office by this appointment: He is gone as a mediator of peace. Just to the chief justice of Pennsylvania and other judges of Courts were designated and commissioned by the Executives of the United States and of Pennsylvania, to negotiate with the western insurgents. They went on a special embassy, like Mr. Jay to the British Court; and all were mediators. Their appointments bear a great analogy to each other, and neither of them appears to be unconstitutional.
That Mr. Jay's language is too fervid may be true; but of this we are not judges. Mr. Jay is on the spot, and best knows the means to be used to obtain the objects of his Embassy. If he uses some unmeaning compliments, at a court where such things are customary, it is rather the custom which is to be censured, than the man who conforms to it.
Besides we know not Mr. Jay's instructions nor the whole train of his negotiations. To form a decisive opinion on his proceedings, upon a single insulated communication, is indiscretion and presumption.
It is certain Mr. Jay's enemies will exert themselves to throw all possible odium on him and his negotiations; but in the present instance it may prove that their exertions are premature.
FAIR PLAY.
PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 7.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the army, dated "Camp, at Berlin, Oct. 28."
"Yesterday, we marched 15 miles, and in the route crossed the Alleghany mountain, through mud up to our knees, and one of the most constant rains I ever beheld; but as this is a destiny generally experienced by all travellers, who cross this mountain, which is supposed, from its dividing the waters, to be the highest ridge of land in North America, we have, probably, not much room for complaint; I shall, therefore, add no murmurs on this occasion. Our army, at present, is about 8,000 strong, and all in good spirits, and it is said by the President, to be the best he ever saw in America, and when joined by the Maryland and Virginia troops, will be formidable; at least sufficiently so, to terrify the insurgents into perfect submission, without discharging a gun. No circumstance, of consequence, has transpired since I last wrote."
How far the conquest of Holland by the French would affect Great Britain, the following extract from a London ministerial paper will shew.
Gen. Adv.
It becomes a measure of self defence; and even if no treaty exists between this country and the Seven United Provinces, policy would require us to come forward and stand between them and danger—Let any man examine the position of Holland, and say, how long the amazing commerce of G. Britain would survive the conquest of that country, and whether the maritime trade of England would not be crippled, perhaps destroyed if the French in possession of a range of coast from the Western extremity of the British channel, from Brest to Ostend, should acquire Amsterdam, as they have done Antwerp, and establish their power on what is called the German ocean? These are considerations which cannot be overlooked. They are offered to the cool reflection of men of all parties and of all principles. They are not meant to libel faction, or to flatter Ministers, but to point out the extreme danger which this country has to apprehend, if the French should overrun Holland, and add the Seven United Provinces to their dominion. To rescue that country from a yoke that would
crush it and crush it, and the British empire from a calamity of such direful extent, are duties which we owe no less to sound policy than to humanity. And the Dutch taught by the melancholy fate of their neighbours, what they have to expect from French fraternity, will certainly, for their own sakes, join their best efforts to those of a generous and faithful ally—the only faithful ally they ever had to preserve themselves from beggary and slaughter.
By this Day's Mail.
ALBANY, Nov. 3.
The ninth of December, the biennial Election for choosing Representatives in Congress, will be held throughout this state.
We are entitled to ten members; our election districts are, the city and county of New-York, the city and county of Albany, Long-Island, Richmond and Westchester, Dutchess, Orange and Ulster, Columbia, Rensselaer and Clinton, Saratoga and Washington, Montgomery, Otsego, Herkemer, Tioga and Ontario. This last district is computed to contain eighty thousand inhabitants, and will remain unrepresented the present Congress; their member (Colonel Talbot) having accepted an appointment in the American navy. Why writs for a new election were not issued, we know not; but that there is a fault somewhere is most apparent, and demands of Congress immediate attention; for, notwithstanding the constitution and election law are pointed and explicit on this head, that the Executive SHALL issue writs for a new election in case of vacancy; this district, which comprehends a very extensive proportion of our western frontier, the number of whole inhabitants entitles it nearly to three members, and whose patriotism is not exceeded by any other part of the Union, is, at this important crisis, without a voice in the National Councils!
So late as the 17th ult. the Canandarque Treaty had not commenced. Cornplanter came in the 6th. The number of Indians is between 15 and 60; they fare sumptuously on the best beef, bread, and West-India, to the tune of from 1.00 to 1.50 dollars per day. Fine time for Indians—Congress pay all
The recruits for the corps of artillery and engineers, raised in this city, by Lieut. J. McClure, failed yesterday for Governor's Island. This young officer merits much praise for his attention to this duty, having in a short time enlisted upwards of 20 as likely young men as need ever to handle a musquet. He still continues the recruiting service in this city.
A letter of a recent date, has been received from Capt. Solomon Van Rensselaer, dated at Lexington, Kentucky, which gives his friends and acquaintance the pleasing advice of his having so far recovered from his wounds as to be wholly out of danger. Capt. Slough, also dangerously wounded at the same time with Capt. V. has recovered. Capt. V. with a number of other wounded officers having permission to visit their friends, is expected here in a few days.
NEW-YORK, November 4.
COMMUNICATION.
A correspondent congratulates us on the re-election of Mr. Smith, for Congress, in the district of Charleston, S. Carolina. The fair and candid statement of his late political conduct, has had that effect upon the minds of his constituents, as reflects on them the highest credit. Indeed, none but the weak and inconsiderate could ever have been led to such unmanly and ridiculous measures as disgraced that capital in the last spring.
Mr. Smith has passed the most part of the last recess in travelling through the eastern and northern states; acquiring that general information of the state of his country, which every legislator should possess, who can spare the time, and is desirous of contributing something more in the councils of his country than mere declamation.
His arrival in Vermont was insulatingly announced by a Jacobin paper there, intimating, in a pitiful turn, that his situation in his own country at that season would have been too warm for him: while, at the very time, many persons here, and our correspondent among the number, knew that Mr. Smith had every reason then to consider his re-election as a matter extremely probable. This is not the only instance, however, which has occurred, and will yet occur, wherein the pitiful opposers of the steady and manly conduct of the majority of our legislators will be disappointed.
PITTSBURGH, November 1.
We are informed that the federal troops are to rendezvous at Parkinson's ferry, and that the greater part of them have already arrived.
At the General Election held on the 13th instant, the following gentlemen were elected for Westmoreland and Fayette Counties.
Congress.—William Findley. Senators.—John Moore, William Todd.
Westmoreland County. Assembly.—Benjamin Lodge, Michael Rugh, George Smith.
Fayette County. Assembly.—Albert Gallatin, John Cunningham.
At a meeting of the Members of the Committees of Townships of the four Western Counties of Pennsylvania; and of sundry other Citizens, held at Parkinson's ferry the 24th of October, 1794.
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted, viz.
1st. Resolved, That in our opinion, the civil authority is now fully competent to enforce the laws and to punish both past and future offences, in as much as the people at large are determined to support every description of civil officers in the legal discharge of their duty.
2d. Resolved, That in our opinion, all persons who may be charged or suspected with having committed any offence against the United States or the state, during the late disturbances, (and who have not entitled themselves to the benefit of the act of oblivion) ought immediately to surrender themselves to the civil authority, in order to stand their trial, that if there be any such persons amongst us they are ready to surrender themselves accordingly, and that we will unite in giving our assistance to bring to justice such offenders as shall not surrender.
3d. Resolved, That in our opinion, offices of inspection may immediately be opened in the respective counties of this survey, without any danger of violence being offered to any of the officers, and that the distillers are willing and ready to enter their stills.
Messrs. William Findley, David Redick, Ephraim Douglass, and Thomas Morton, were then appointed to wait on the President of the United States with the foregoing resolutions.
Signed, JAMES EDGAR, Chairman. Attest. Albert Gallatin, secretary.
Citizens of the Army, advancing to the Western Country.
Serious intimations are given me that I am considered by you, as greatly criminal in the late insurrection in this country, and that though I may have shielded myself from the law by taking advantage of the terms of the amnesty proposed by the commissioners, and sanctioned by the proclamation of the President, yet that I shall not escape the resentment of individuals. It would seem to me totally improbable that republican soldiers would fully the glory of their voluntary rising by a single intemperate act. Nevertheless, as it would wound me with exquisite sensibility, to be treated with indignity, by words, or looks, short of violence, I beg leave to suggest to you, that it is a maxim of reason that a man "shall be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved," and I give you a strong presumption of my innocence, viz. that though having the opportunity of relinquishing the country, I stand firm, and will surrender myself to the closest examination of the judges, and put myself entirely on the merit or demerit of my conduct, through the whole of the unfortunate crisis.
H. H. BRACKENRIDGE. Pittsburgh, October 26, 1794.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, November 5
From a correspondent.
On Saturday last, Samuel Potter, Benjamin Bonhel, Nathaniel Little and others went to the dwelling house of the Rev. Mr. Elmer of Turkey, and after some consultation amongst themselves made the most violent attack upon the house, tearing down the doors, windows and shutters; and towards evening carried them off leaving him, his family and a sick woman there upon a visit exposed to the weather, as well as his goods, books and papers. It is hoped that the perpetrators of so much atrocity will meet the reward of their demerit.
LONDON.
Mr. Peele, Member for Tamworth employs, in conjunction with his part-
ners, at his Manufactory at Manchester, comprising all the departments of his trade, from 19 to 20,000 work-people.
Messrs. Philips and Co. employ from 12 to 1500 people.
The late Sir Richard Arkwright, from 8 to 9,200 in his cotton manufactory.
Mr. Wedgewood, in his potteries, about 20,000 people.
Messrs. Darley and Co. in Shropshire, about 1,000 people.
Messrs. Bolton and Co. at Birmingham, about 400.
Mr. Peele, of Manchester, was originally (and we mention it with praise and admiration) a porter, at 18. a day. He gave a draft for 63,000l. when he bought the borough of Tamworth from the present Marquis of Bath. His partner, and Mr. Phipps, were common workmen also.
Sir R. Arkwright was a barber at Manchester, in 1774.
John Wilkinson, Esq. now by his successful still one of the first iron masters and coal miners in the kingdom, was 20 years ago a clerk at Ruabon and Wrexham.
EASTON, Maryland Oct. 28.
If we cannot be governed by law—by what are we to be governed?—No man but he who wishes to see a government of men and not of law will support the converse of this position—That in a free republic law ought to be irresistible—The converse of that leads to personal power. One hundred and 34 doors are open at our temple consecrated to legislation through which the opinions of their constituents can be heard—and where no law can stand against the mature opinions of the majority of the nation.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Friday, November 7.
The Senate assembled—present—The Hon. Ralph Izard, President Pro tem. from the state of South-Carolina.
From the state of N. Hampshire, the Hon. J. Langdon, and Samuel Livermore, Massachusetts, George Cabot, Connecticut, Oliver Ellsworth, Rhode-Island, Theodore Foster, Vermont, Moses Robinson, New-York, Rufus King, Pennsylvania, Robert Morris, Delaware, John Vining, Kentucky, John Brown, North-Carolina, Benj. Hawkins. The number assembled not being sufficient to constitute a quorum to do business, the Senate adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow morning.
The House of Representatives this day adjourned until Monday.
This morning left this City, and fell down the river, the Ship Adriana, for London, Capt. Fitzpatrick, Master.—We understand that Samuel Bayard, Esq. Agent of Claims and Appeals for the United States, and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ketland, Mrs. Edmonston and daughter and others, go as passengers.
The recent intelligence from the patriotic army is of such a nature, as excites the mingled emotions of sympathy, admiration and pleasure in the mind of every man who feels himself an American.
What cannot the love of country do! What obstacles are insurmountable to men engaged in such a cause? Monuments more durable than marble or brass are erected to their honor—the LOVE AND GRATITUDE OF THEIR COUNTRY.
Extract of a letter, dated Camp Bonnets, Nov. 3, 1794.
The right column of the army arrived here 3 days ago, the 6 last days of our march, we encountered undecidable difficulties, the weather poured an incessant form of rain—the men from the impossibility of the Tents coming forward, were compelled to remain several nights exposed, without any kind of covering—the mountains were steep, stony, and one continued slough from the crowd of waggons, rendered nearly impassable!—In short no expedition during the last war, nor even that of Hannibal's passage over the Alps, could equal the almost insuperable hardships we have suffered; yet to the immortal honor of the army, they have sustained themselves under it, without a serious murmur—To-morrow we take up the line of march, the legion for Washington, and the main body for
Budds Ferry on the Younghegeny, our furthest point of destination.
Gen. Lee will probably join us at Budds, with the left column.
For the information of the Merchants.
The committee having been notified by the Secretary of State, that the Agent of claims and appeals appointed by the President of the United States is to be embarked immediately for London, and that he is authorized to bind the United States under the direction of Mr. Jay, for the costs and damages, attending the prosecution of the claims of American citizens, that the necessary council will be engaged on the part of the United States; and that if the parties will obtain copies of the proceedings of the Courts on their respective cases, the expense of the records will be reimbursed by the United States.
They are of opinion that measures ought to be immediately taken for obtaining authenticated copies of such records and proceedings in all cases where they have not already been procured, and will undertake to obtain them for all such of their fellow-citizens as shall within 20 days from this date furnish the names of the vessels and masters in the ports or places where tried or condemned with such other information as the circumstance of the case may require.
They recommend to those who have already obtained the copies of the proceedings of the Courts to have them examined by some person of legal knowledge—that if they should be found defective in any respect the deficiency may be supplied at the same time that the records are applied for.
In behalf of the Committee. THOMAS FITZSIMONS. November 6, 1794.
Married, at Bordentown, on Tuesday evening last, Mr. Isaac Smith, of Baltimore, merchant, to Miss Mary Hopkins.
From an English Paper.
When the Duke of Alva saw the Dutch deputies drawing their knives out of their pockets, and dining upon coarse bread and salted herrings, he gave up the cause of the Spanish monarch for lost. As little accommodated, and no less disregarding all the accommodations of convenience and luxury, are the present French. To say nothing of the salted horse-flesh, the following will serve as a specimen, being a return of the cook's and cabin stores, found on board Le Sons Cabines, one of their privateers, lately sold by auction at Lloyd's 1 axe—1 copper boiler—1 ladle—1 flesh fork—7 earthen plates—1 dish.
EPITAPH ON
MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE.
De mortuis nil nisi bonum.
INDULGENT Nature, pausing on the page, That mark'd the vice and madness of the age; Denied the draught—distorted as it grew, Nor the spoil'd touches of her pencil knew; 'Till forc'd at last, Conviction mark'd the deed, And thus in anger she her will decreed: "Since efforts honest, and affections kind, "No sway obtain upon the human mind; "Since virtue moves nor emulating fame; "No longer holds on harden'd man a claim; "Let monstrous vice personified appear, "And that denied love, shall lead to Fear."
This said, she summon'd from the realms below Each Detest rais'd as man's eternal foe; Who each into the mass his portion threw, Of vice and rancour of the blackest hue; 'Till fill'd at last, the cauldron bubbled o'er, And the vile essence, Galla's tyrant bore. Lo! Robespierre, whose parts so well agreed With all the junks had before decreed, That man in horror rais'd his eyes to Heaven, Seeming to ask why such a scourge was given!
When Nature, wond'ring by his subtle art, How far this man could over-act his part; Shock'd at her work, the ruthless monster crush'd, And as she gave the blow—retiring, blush'd. RALPH JUVENAL. [London Paper.]

Forty dollars reward. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Saturday night the 18th inst. A Mulatto Lad, named Bull, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slim make, has fair black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether on a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown Indian double breasted long coat, one drab coat, with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps and skirts trimmed with red edging, a faint waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trousers, and several other cloths, also a pair of house half worn. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia. The above reward will be paid to any person delivering me the said servant, and reasonable charges for bringing him home. Daniel Carroll. Of Duddington. City of Washington, Oct. 20 Oct. 7 #gtaww

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 216 Market Street, Philadelphia.
WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord to Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14; and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, 3, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. At various other valuable writings and yet unperformed rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for its sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
