manquet shot. He was the single person wounded, either of the army or navy. At day-break of the 12th the Fort of La Fleur d'Epée was carried by assault, and the greatest part of the garrison were put to the sword: a few brave seamen were dangerously wounded in the gallant action. Fort St. Louis, the town of Pointe a Petre, and the new battery upon Illet a Couchon, were soon afterwards abandoned, and many of the inhabitants escaped in boats to Basseterre, before the Ceres and two gun-boats could get into the Carenage to prevent them, notwithstanding the alertness and precision with which Capt. Inceodon executed the orders I sent him by Captain Grey.
The ardour of the officer, soldier and seaman, surmounts every difficulty. The small number of troops the General Sir Charles Grey was under the necessity of leaving to garrison Martinique, induced me to order commodore Thompson to remain there, with the Vengeance, to co-operate with lieutenant-general Prescott in establishing order and good government in the Island, for the preservation of the conquest, and to execute many other duties essential for the weal of his Majesty's service.

PHILADELPHIA
JULY 18.
The "Courier Francois" of this morning does not contain any details of the late naval engagement on the last of May and beginning of June, as promised in that paper of yesterday. It seems to be as difficult to extract French news from one quarter as English from another.
Speech of Mr. SHERIDAN in the British House of Commons, May 16th, on the motion of the Minister "for leave to bring in a bill to empower his Majesty to secure and detain such persons as his Majesty shall suspect are conspiring against his person and government."
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he could not consent himself with giving a silent vote to a question of such importance, which in his mind involved in it the existence of the liberty of every man in the country: no man could be safe, when an uncontrolled power was placed in the hands of Ministers, of depriving on groundsless and unfounded suspicions, of freedom, any person who might be obnoxious to them. He thought it the most impudent and daring measure which had ever been attempted at any period, or by any Minister; he was astonished at the silence which was observed by all those Gentlemen who composed the Committee, and made the report: he did not think that any one of them would venture to stand up in his place and assert, that he really apprehended any danger which could warrant the adoption of such a measure. He hoped it was not the intention of the Minister to pass the Bill through the House that night: that some time would at least be given for fair consideration: if he did so such a thing, and recommended the passing of the bill in that hasty way, upon such slight grounds, he would not hesitate to say, that he deserved to lose his head. There were many imprudencies he admitted in the writings and resolutions of those Societies, but why, he would ask, had they not been prosecuted at the time they appeared? But there was nothing that could warrant so violent a proceeding as the present. He had himself been once a delegate for the purpose of obtaining a Parliamentary Reform. He did not recollect whether the right hon. gentleman himself was one at the same time; the Duke of Richmond certainly was: but so far from its being considered an Act of Insurrection or Rebellion, they were accommodated with the Guildhall to hold their Meetings, and attended by the Officers of that Court. He condemned, in severe terms, the conduct of certain public prints, said to be under the immediate direction of Government; he cared but little, for his own part, what was said concerning him in any public paper, and so great was his regard and esteem for the Liberty of the Press, that he should never attempt a prosecution for anything which might be said of him; but at the same time he thought it infamous to encourage such villainous aspersions
on any member of the House; and he thought that the rage for prosecuting Libels was so great, that it would well become the Attorney General to prosecute those papers for Libels on the individual Members of that house, especially when they were carried so far as to implicate them in a charge of High Treason. If the Ministers could stoop to encourage such slander, he should hold them to be the most infamous and basest of mankind—he thought it impossible—if any man had any thing to allege against him, let him stand forward, and he will find him ready to repel the charge and to vindicate his character and his honor. He reproached the whole of the Minister's conduct on the present occasion, which was calculated to destroy the peace and harmony which subsisted among the people. There could not surely be any real ground of apprehension, from a set of men without fortune or connection in the country; and who were, comparatively, few in number. But why not confine the operation of this Bill to those Societies? Why should the Liberties of every British Subject be surrendered to the Crown, for the fault of a few? He would much rather he would make it treason or felony, for any Society to meet for the purpose of obtaining a Parliamentary Reform, though he belonged to such a Society, and would rather forfeit his life than abandon the cause.
Mr. Pitt and Mr. Sheridan explained.
Mr. Burke entered into a long defence of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and the necessity of the measure on the present occasion. In support of this, he read an extract of some correspondence between the Revolutionary Society, and some Societies in France, which passed in the year 1791. He contended that these Societies were a continuation of the same system, which then appeared as pustules, but had since ulcerated and become dangerous sores. Sir John Scott defended his conduct as Public Prosecutor and supported the bill.
The House then divided, Ayes 201. Noes 39.
The following Articles are copied from the General Advertiser of this morning.
The French papers received by Capt. Green, contain an address from a popular society established in the town of Puyceda, taken from the Spaniards, to the Convention. We are promised the loan of some of these papers this day.
The Paris paper of the 27th May, contains an account of the fate of Clairfait's army in the affair of the 17th May on the subject of which the English papers are quite silent. Clairfait, our readers will recollect, was to have crossed the Lys, and by forming a junction with the five columns which proceeded from the environs of Tournay, have cut off the communication between the French at Courtray and Lille. In this Clairfait was unsuccessful and lost upwards of one hundred pieces of cannon, 300 horses and had 1500 men made prisoners, the number of killed or wounded is not mentioned. The artillery was taken by the Sans Culottes General who drove the English from before Dunkirk and there took a considerable quantity of cannon, &c.
The arrival at Brest of some officers sent by the minister of the French Republic here, with information of the time the Chesapeake convoy was to sail, that arrangements might be made for its reception, has given rise to the report of American commissaries having arrived in that port.
Two instances of the amazing activity with which the French carry on their naval operations are related by Captain Green. A frigate was launched at Brest and four days after was perfectly ready to proceed to sea; and Captain Green's brig, was at the public expence, in a few hours coppered, in order that she might bring the intelligence of the success of the French in Flanders and dispatches to the minister with more expedition.
From an undoubted source we find, that A. H. Rowan has completely escaped the inquisitorial researches of his persecutors in Ireland, and safely arrived in an American vessel in France.

BOSTON, July 14. GOOD NEWS—Diret from FRANCE. On Thursday last a Schooner arrived
here from Brest, which she left the 24th May.
The Captain, a gentleman of veracity and respectability, informs—that about the 18th of May, the grand fleet, from Brest, consisting of thirty-two ships of the line, and a number of frigates, sailed from that port, in expectation of joining another fleet from Rochefort & Havre. That on the 29th of the same month, he passed this fleet, which then consisted of fifty sail, off Cape Clear, stretching for Cape Finisterre.
The captain also informs, that during his stay at Brest, (about 6 weeks) upwards of one hundred and twenty prizes were brought in there, 40 of which were outward bound.
The captain further reports, that the day before he sailed, a Corvette arrived from the Chesapeake fleet, which he left four days before; that the English fleet was not out, and in all probability said fleet arrived shortly after he sailed. Provisions were very plenty at Brest. The important account of the total defeat of the Duke of York, had been received at Brest, but as the captain saw no official account, he is not able to relate the particulars; but it was represented to be a complete victory on the part of our republican allies.
Boston Chronicle.
From France Direct.
On Thursday, a Schooner arrived here from Brest, which she left the 24th May. The Captain informs, that about the 18th May, the grand fleet put to sea, consisting of 32 sail of the line, and a number of frigates; which it was expected would be reinforced by a number of ships from Rochefort and Havre. That on the 29th May, he passed this fleet, which then contained about 50 sail, off Cape Clear, and that they were stretching from that Cape to Cape Finisterre;—That during the stay of the Schooner at Brest, which was about 6 weeks, about 120 prizes were brought in, 40 odd of which were Jamaica men outward bound, that one was a very valuable Dutch ship, and several English fourth-rate men: That provisions were not scarce nor dear at Brest; and that the account of the defeat of the Duke of York's army had been received; but as the Captain could not procure any papers, he was unacquainted with the particulars; That the Chesapeake fleet had not arrived; but was expected to proceed to sea.
It is fact, that the English fleet was at sea at the time the French was. Both fleets are in force, and must be in the vicinity of each other.

HARTFORD, July 14.
It is with great pleasure we remark, that the 4th of July has been much more extensively celebrated this year, than usual. And it is with equal pleasure we observe the spirit of federalism, peace, and moderation, which breathes through the multitude of toasts drunk on this anniversary. Saving a few toasts, of a few party clubs, and sciences, the above remark is almost universally just. What a happy prospect has this country, when amidst the convulsions of Europe, the errors of weak and mistaken, or the attacks of desperate and wicked politicians in her own bosom, a general opposition to war, bloodshed, and anarchy, pervades her enlightened citizens. The rational joy, which animates our inhabitants on every return of the day of Independence, proves their strong attachment to real liberty; while their moderate and peaceable sentiments, evince their thorough acquaintance with their own best interests—Peace and good government.
ALBANY, July 14.
It is with the keenest sympathy and grief we record the following disaster: On Saturday morning last, about 2 o'clock, this city was again alarmed by the cry of fire, which proved most unfortunately to be Caldwell's noble factory of Tobacco, Snuff, Chocolate, Mustard, &c. &c. situated about one mile north of this city, near the seat of Stephen Van Rensselaer. Our citizens mustered with the greatest alacrity; but before any effectual aid could arrive, this extensive and valuable pile of buildings (eight in number) was wrapped in flames—the enormous height of which, added to the awful stillness of the night—the lowing aspect of the sky—the peculiarity of situation, being a deep vale, covered by lofty hills and thick woods—and the interrupted reflection of light upon the top of the trees—altogether formed a scene, the
horror and sublimity of which is almost beyond the reach of imagination. Finding every hope of extinguishing it blasted, we were forced to the disagreeable necessity of standing idly spectators of the destruction, it is said, of the most curious as well as most extensive works of the kind perhaps in the world, in which strangers, who have visited this city since their establishment, generally agree. The loss to a worthy and enterprising individual is computed at Fifteen Thousand Pounds , on a moderate calculation—and it may also be considered as a heavy public loss, from the number of people it employed, and the keeping of large sums of money within the sphere of our own circulation.
NEW-YORK, July 17.
We learn that three vessels belonging to the fleet were chased into Sandy Hook by a British 64 and a frigate, which now lie at the Hook, to obstruct the entrance of any returning vessels. We have not been able to learn the fate of the remaining vessels, nor what is become of the Concorde.
The British frigate Thetis, arrived yesterday afternoon, and anchored opposite the Fort in the North River.
Capt. Talbot left the fleet on Monday at 11 o'clock. He saw the ship Atlas taken; at which time the Concorde and Perdrix were, in his opinion, at least ten miles to the windward, steering off on the wind.—He thinks there are but few of the fleet taken, as they separated in every direction, on seeing the British frigates.
A melancholy accident happened on Friday last, in the Sound. As Capt. Goodman from Middletown, was coming to this City with a load of produce, he was overtaken by a violent storm of wind, hail and rain; his vessel sprung a leak, and soon after went down, by which accident his wife and wife's sister perished. The men saved their lives by clinging to the boat till morning, when they were relieved by persons from the shore.
LONDON, May 16.
H. ROWAN.
It was currently reported in town yesterday, that the wherry in which Hamilton Rowan sailed, had arrived, and had brought a letter to Mrs. Rowan, assuring her of his having arrived in a place of perfect safety.
The circumstances given along with the above rumour, were that Mr. Rowan took shipping from Drogheda, and not from Kulln, as formerly represented; that they sailed through the Downs without meeting the smallest interruption, and on Monday morning last got safe into Dunkirk, where, after undergoing a slight examination, the port officers suffered them to land Mr. Rowan, and immediately to depart without hindrance or molestation.
Extract of a letter from on board Lord Hood's fleet, April 17.
"The brave Lieutenant Tupper, who distinguished himself so highly during his command of Fort Pomet, at Toulon, was the officer whom Lord Hood sent on the 10th of April to the Governor of Brest, with a summons to surrender the place to the British arms.
"Lieutenant Tupper having mentioned to the commander of a row-galley of the enemy, that was without the Mole, the purport of the flag of truce, he was directed to wait whilst information was given to the Governor; after which he was directed into the Mole, and there continued about half an hour, when the Mole Heads were lined with troops; the Governor, Monsieur Le Michelle, came through them, under a strong escort. Mr. Tupper being landed, and having informed him that he came from Vice-Admiral Hood, with a letter for the Governor, he answered, that no such person existed; but as a Republican, he was the Commander; that he could not receive any letter, or have any correspondence with the enemy whilst he remained on the territories of the Republic; that his troops were brave and ready; that his batteries and forges were prepared, and they would meet our troops on the point of their bayonets, being determined either to conquer or die. He also added, that he was sensible the English possessed humanity; and should the fate of war cause him to lose two thirds of his men, the survivors might be indebted to them for the exercise of it.
"On his persisting not to receive the letter, Mr. Tupper returned on board the victory, and immediately the batteries were opened and the fire began from six 24 pounders and three inch mortars, on the north part of the town. "On the 15th of April the firing
from our batteries continued with unabated vigor; and the day before Romney arrived at Brest from Brest, with four mortars and plenty of shells.
"A new battery of three twenty-four pounders was to open that day, as it is near the enemy's north battery, much is expected from its fire. Our loss was not then very great. The day before, Capt. Clark, of the 69th regiment, lost his right arm, and was otherwise badly wounded in the side; that with two or three men killed, is all the loss that we have suffered.
"The enemy must suffer much, as our shot and shells fall among them. Provisions were scarce in the town."

A New Novel.
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, ice, bound, five editions of a dollar, few ed in marble paper, half a dollar. Charlotte, a Tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria , the In- quisitor , the Fille de Chambre , &c. Of Charlotte , the Reviewers have given the following character. It may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real dis- ciples. Charlotte , by the artifice of a teach- er, recommended to a school, from human- ity rather than a conviction of her int- egrity, or the regularity of her former con- duct, is enticed from her governess, and a- ccompanies a young officer to America— the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treach- ery of his friend. The situations are art- ful and affecting—the descriptions natu- ral and pathetic—we should feel for Char- lotte if such a person ever existed, who or one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved severe a punishment. If it is a fic- tion, poetic justice is not, we think, pro- perly distributed. Said Carey has just published, a 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elisha Barker , price one dol- lar and two thirds. War Atlas, containing maps of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Provin- ces, the Netherlands, and the West Indies. Price two dollars. Map of New Jersey—Half a dollar.

The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ma- ryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Ca- rolina, 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 compiled 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.

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage, to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable. It 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
request 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 with which he has been favored, 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, deserve- ing of their patronage. wattf

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 carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Patter- 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- tractant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business so very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none. The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia , must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills. The terms upon which the above men- tioned estate will be sold are—one thou- sand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and even hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionably for each part. Indubitable titles will be made for the property, by JOHN NIXON, ALEX. FOSTER, GEO. LATIMER. At same time and place will be sold a large BOAT. July 2. 1m&w&ts

The Complainant hath fil- ed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete legal title to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county, one called Painters-Level , con- taining 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 350 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordecai Cole , executed to him a bond for conveyance, that the said Cole , on the same day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money amount- ing to £675 Pennsylvania currency, that the said Cole hath since discharged the whole of the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for con- veyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Mary- land , and now resides in the state of Ken- tucky . It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be insert- ed at least six weeks successively, before the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia , to the in- tent, that the said John Wells may have no- tice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in Oc- tober next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agree- ably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem . Corrected and Enlarged, by WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht . Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem 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 laborordination, 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.

FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY , No. 118, Market-Street, An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves ; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impo- litics as well as unjust.

THE office of the President and Directors of the INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, is removed to No. 107, South Front Street, being the fourth east corner of Front and Walnut Streets.
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 imitation 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 i inclining much more forward than the f. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly simi- lar 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 g being less than the a, and their 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 to cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Ta and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with ink-black and oil, and differs from other ink used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed that these forgeries were com- mitted 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 manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have 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 glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an 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 apprehension & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.
