Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, March 16, 17, 18.
In the vicinity of Lille, the capital of French Flanders, the young men, who have been subjected to the tyrannical law of the requisition, have refused to march; and, in order to elude the vigilance of the military agents, conceal themselves, during the day, in the woods, and only venture to visit their families "at the dread hour of midnight." Those who have been compelled to join the armies, march with such extreme reluctance, that the first opportunity of desertion is eagerly embraced; and the consequence of this spirit of disaffection must, of necessity, be severely felt, during an active campaign.
The government, aware of the perilous situation in which it stands, seeks to confirm its power by the means of terror—that dreadful engine, with which the sanguinary monster Robespierre oppressed his fellow citizens, and which can alone enforce obedience to measures that are wholly subversive of every principle of civil liberty.
Our enemy being thus situated, we have only to prosecute the war with vigour, in order to procure a speedy and permanent peace, concluded on such terms as will at once afford security to ourselves, and conduce to the happiness of the people of France, who are now groaning beneath the iron yoke of oppression.
March 19.
The late Col. Henry Bruen (Deputy Quarter-Master-General to the army the last four years of the American war) died possessed of the greatest fortune ever amassed in the army line, the great Marlborough not excepted. By his will, lately made public, it appears he has left twelve thousand pounds per annum to his eldest son; 4000. to his second son; and 3000. to his third son, with 50,000. to each of his daughters, and a large jointure to his widow! it is supposed, with mortgages &c. he died worth half a million!
A gentleman in the neighborhood of Swansea, has actually cleared this year seventy pounds from five acres of potatoes. What a strong inducement for an increased cultivation of this most valuable root.

BE IT KNOWN, That at the port of New-Haven, on this thirtieth day of April, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, before me Elizabeth Goodrich, Esq. Notary Public by lawful authority admitted and sworn, residing in said port, personally came and appeared Francis Brown of said port, and William Stewart, of Bedford, in said State, and were sworn according to law, and do on oath depose and say, That he the said Brown was master, and he the said Stewart mate of the sloop Dove, of said port, on a voyage from said port to the West Indies, and disposed of his cargo in the island of Antigua, and been to no other place, or island in the West Indies, on his homeward-bound passage, on the third day of April last, at 1 o'clock P. M., in lat. 29, 27, and long. 66, they were brought to by the British ship of war, the Narcissus, of twenty guns, whereof one Frazier was commander—that a boat's crew came from the Narcissus, on board the Dove, and took them the papers and letters of the Dove, and carried them on board the ship, that some time after an officer returned with the papers and letters, three of the letters having been opened—that the officer informed the deponents, that the commander of the ship had ordered him to bring with him one of the seamen, by the name of Samuel Tharpe, and accordingly compelled said Tharpe into the boat, and conveyed him on board the ship—that the captain of the ship soon after returned Tharpe, and required a younger man by the name of Benjamin Eastman, one of the Dove's mariners, who was accordingly compelled on board the ship, tho' the deponents remonstrated, and represented that he was an American born, and his assistance necessary for navigating the Dove—that immediately after this transaction, the ship hoisted in her boat, and in hoisting in the same, parted her bow tackle, and thereby have three of her men into the sea—that the deponents used their endeavors to save them, and by calling a rope, had the good fortune to save the life of one of them, and take him on board the Dove, while the other two drowned—that while the deponents were endeavouring to save said men, the Dove fell foul the ship's weather quarters, and received much damage, and tore the main sail very much;—that after this misfortune, the man saved by the deponents was taken on board the ship, and the deponents requested the liberation of Eastman, but the captain of the ship refused to dismiss him, and detained him—the deponents say that they learnt the name of the ship and of the captain from the man they took from the water, who said that the boats had orders not to give the real name of the ship or commander—The deponents further say, that they had a protection from the Collector's office, port of New Haven, wherein Eastman was certified to be an American, and that the same was sent on board the ship—and the deponents further testify that said Eastman was a native and citizen of the United States of America, that the voyage with the deponents was his second, and that his residence from his youth has been in the town of North-Haven, adjoining said port.

WALPOLE, (N. H.) April 26.
Last Wednesday, passed through this town, on his return from Philadelphia, the hon. Elijah Paine Esq. one of the Senators of Vermont in the Congress of the United States. The known federalism of this enlightened legislator rendered his presence highly agreeable to the good citizens in this vicinity, and secured him a degree of respect, which a popular demagogue might expect in vain.
Some uninformed citizens talk loudly of the patriotism of the present majority in the House of Representatives of the United States. Let me say a word on that subject. These patriotic legislators have, in the present session originated an economical bill for the lessening the pay of Congress. In this bill with great generosity, they have allowed their former pay to themselves and reduced the salary of the Senate one dollar per day. Look out fellow citizens, mark those who seek after filthy lucre. The Senate, the same virtuous body who saved us from the charge of an expensive war with Great-Britain, concurred the bill immediately on its being presented. Federal fellow citizens on Connecticut river, beware of those whose patriotism is in their speeches, who talk big words, and cram their purses with our property. Look rather to the disinterested senators, who in time of trouble, lower their pay. Look to the illustrious Washington who served you a seven years war, without a farthing.
JOHN SERGEANTS.
PORTLAND, April 25.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, from a member of Congress.
"On the present occasion I have discovered no want of papers, nor have I seen any reason to justify the house in calling for them—yet if the President had sent them, it is not imagined in the present instance any inconvenience would have sprung out of them—they have been read by all the members who thought it worth their trouble to go into the office of the secretary of the senate and see them. Their being withheld does not keep from the house a single circumstance, as to any information we could get out of them, that may be necessary in passing the laws to carry the treaty into execution. From the time of the repeal of the stamp act, and in some instances before that period, to seventy five, many individuals in America, by opposing the British government which was altogether independent of the people here, gained just applause from all Americans, and secured lasting fame. It was then an act of true courage and magnanimity to come out boldly in support of the rights of the people, against the unjust claims of a government over which we had no controul. But this path to po-
litical glory was in a great measure closed, when government became a creature of our own manufacture—when every man in the political machine meets certain death at short intervals; as is the case, by the constitutions of the several states, as well as the general government. By not adverting to this most astonishing difference, our political heroes go forth to battle now with the same views and expectations of meeting giants and tyrants, as the knights errant did in the days of chivalry—and the mistake of don Quixote's esquire in attacking the barber's basin for Bambino's helmet, was not more ridiculous, than that of modern political knights in their attack upon the President and Senate, because of their supposed analogy to the king and house of lords in the English constitution—the former being at short periods elective; the latter hereditary."

This has long been talked of. Captains Gibaut, and Bowditch proceeded as far as the object of their Survey would justify, and the result will be laid before the public in a separate communication.
A DESCRIPTION OF BAKER'S ISLAND ON WHICH A LIGHT-HOUSE IS TO BE RAISED.
BAKER'S ISLAND, was so called, as early as 1630, and lays on the south side of the principal entrance into Salem Harbor in Massachusetts Bay, bearing east from Fort William, on Winter-Island, about 4 miles from the Fort, which is a mile below the town. It contains 55 acres of land, and once had a good house and convenient out-houses upon it, with a good well of water. The buildings were greatly injured in 1776, when Boston was in the possession of the British troops, and were suffered afterwards to be destroyed. There is a divisional wall across the island, made by the former proprietors, and an excellent spring of water upon the south east side, not far from the range of the wall. A beacon was raised upon the Island by the Marine Society of Salem, on the northern height of Land on the 26th July, and completely finished in August 1791. It is 57 feet to the top of the Ball, and 19 feet in diameter within at bottom, forming a convenient room for water parties, or for shelter. There is deep water near the island, but no convenient landing place.
The outward, or eastern side is high and rocky, the northern side highest, but more shelving. Upon the western side is a beach upon which there is a constant swell, and from which stones for pavements have been taken in great quantities. This Island, with all the Islands near the shore, belong to Salem. The trees have been destroyed, but the soil is good, and will admit an easy cultivation. The greatest length of the soil is from north to south, above three eighths of a mile, and the rocks extend at each end beyond the soil. It is widest on the northern part, high and projecting on the eastern side, but entering on the western side. Towards the southwestern side might be formed the best landing place. There is a channel between the southern rocks of the Island, and the Breakers, near the Island, but it is not deep, and can be safe only at high water, and only to those who are acquainted with it.

FOR SALE,
A very Valuable Estate,
CALLED TWITTENHAM, situate in the township of Upper Derby, and county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peaches.

The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat. The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Harman, deceased, and offered for sale by Mordecai Lewis, Surviving Executor. Oct. 9. eo.]
SPECIMEN OF ELEGANT PRINTING.
John Thompson & Abr. Small, RESPECTFULLY inform such persons as admire, and would wish to encourage any improvement in those arts, which are an ornament to a state; that after much expence and great attention, they have printed for public inspection, the first number of their RICHLY FINISHED
Hot-Pressed BIBLE,
Which they believe to be the most beautiful production of its nature, hitherto seen. Similar works in Europe have for some years been liberally patronized—they have had an honorable place in the libraries of men of taste—the present production is an attempt to show, that in America, works can be executed in every respect equal to the efforts of trans-atlantic genius. From the warm approbation that has been bestowed on it by some of the first characters, the proprietors are warranted in saying, they have been successful. It claims patronage as being wholly American—the paper, by far the best ever used here, in printing, is made within a few miles of this city—the types, which are truly beautiful, are also American—and the whole apparatus for hot pressing, has been procured from different parts of the Union: it is also the CHEAPEST HOT-PRESSED BIBLE ever printed in any country. The first number may be inspected at No. 34, Carter's alley; or at No. 98, Union Street. It is proposed to deliver the whole in Forty Numbers, at One Half Dollar each—one of which will be completed every two weeks. April 25. 22&3w.
A Printing-Office for Sale.
CONSISTING OF A good assortment of Types, the greater part of which are but little worn, a good mahogany Press, with the different Printing Materials, in complete order for executing any kind of work. The situation is very eligible, either for a newspaper or book-work, being in a pleasant, well populated city, within 30 miles of Philadelphia. There is also a very considerable advantage arising from the numerous applications for blanks and the general influx of advertisements, &c. &c. and a handsome profit derived from the great quantity of Rags which may be collected throughout the year. A complete set of cuts for Dilworth's Spelling-Book. Likewise will be sold with the office, a large bookbinder's Press, (used for pressing books in sheets) together with a number of bookbinders' tools, almost new. Any person inclining to purchase the above, may have the refusal of a handsome collection of books, bound and in sheets—they will be sold very low. For the price, and further particulars, enquire at No. 24, north Third-street, where a specimen of the types may be seen. April 26. $2.22w.

Philadelphia,
TUESDAY EVENING, May 10, 1796.
Toe Letter-Bag of the ship Suffex, capt. Philip Atkins, for Liverpool, will be taken from the Post-Office the 14th instant. May 10.
An Arrival at New-York, yesterday, brought English papers to the 28th March—Extracts from which may be expected to-morrow.
The following interesting particulars respecting the loss of the Dutton East Indiaman are given in a late London Paper.
"We have had a terrible succession of stormy weather of late. On Tuesday, immediately after dinner, I went to the Hoe, to see the Dutton East Indiaman, full of troops upon the rocks directly under the flag staff of the citadel. She had been out 7 weeks, on her passage to the West Indies as a transport with 400 troops on board, besides women and the ship's crew, and had been just driven back by stress of weather with a great number of sick on board."
"You cannot conceive any thing so horrible as the appearance of the whole together, when I first arrived upon the spot. The ship was grounded on sunken rocks, somewhat inclining to one side without a mast, and her bowsprit also carried away. Her decks covered with soldiers, thick as they could stand together, with the sea breaking in a dreadful manner around them. What still added to the melancholy grandeur of the scene, was the distress guns, which were fired now and then directly over our heads from the citadel."
"When I first arrived, I found that they had by some means got a rope, one end of which was fixed to the ship, and the other held by the people on shore, by which means they could yield as the ship swung. Upon this rope they had placed a ring, which by receiving two smaller ropes they could draw to and from the ship. To this ring a loop was suspended, which each man put under his arms, and thus also holding the ring in his hands, he supported himself while drawn to the shore by the people. And in this manner I saw several brought to land."
"This mode proved a tedious operation, and though I looked at the process a long while, the numbers on the deck were not apparently diminished. Besides, from the motion the ship had by rolling upon the rocks, it was not practicable to keep the rope equally stretched. From this cause as well as from the sudden rising of the waves, you would at one moment see a poor wretch hanging 10 or 20 feet above the water; and the next totally lose sight of him, buried in the form of a wave. Some, indeed escaped better."
"But, after all, this was not a scheme of which the women and the sick could avail themselves, I observed with the greatest admiration at this juncture, the behaviour of a captain (Sir Edward Pellew) who seemed interested in the highest degree for the preservation of those on board the wreck. He exerted himself uncommonly, and directed others what to do on shore. In vain, by a large speaking trumpet, he endeavored to make himself heard on board. Nothing could be heard but the tremendous roaring of the winds and sea!"
"He then offered five guineas instantly to any body who would suffer himself to be drawn on board with instructions to them what to do—When he found that no one would accept the offer, he gave an instance of the highest heroism, for he fastened the rope about himself, and gave the signal to be drawn on board. He had his uniform coat, and his sword hanging by his side. I have not room here for particular description; there was something grand and interesting in this. For, as soon as they had pulled him into the wreck, he was received with three rapturous shouts by the people on board, and these were immediately echoed by those who lined the shores, the garrison walls and lower batteries."
"The first thing he did, was to rig out two other ropes like the first—I saw him most actively employed upon them with his own hands. This quickened the matter a good deal, and by this time two large open row boats were arrived from the dock-yard, and a sloop had, with great difficulty, worked out from Plymouth Pool. He then directed his attention to the women and the sick, who were with difficulty got into the open boats, and then carried off to the sloop, which kept at a distance for fear of being stove against the ship or thrown upon the rocks. He suffered but one boat to approach at a time, and stood with his drawn sword to prevent too many rushing into the boat."
"After he had seen all the people, except about 10 or 15 out of the ship, he fastened himself in the rope as before, and was drawn ashore, where he was again received with shouts."
"I observed a poor goat and a dog among the crowd; when the people were somewhat thinned away, I saw the goat marching about with much unconcern, but the dog showed evident anxiety, for I beheld him stretching himself out at one of the ports, standing partly upon the port, and partly upon the gun, and looking earnestly towards the shore, where I suppose he knew his master was. All these perished soon after, for as the sea rose, the ship was washed all over, and she is now in pieces."
MR. FENNO,
The two following articles originally appeared in The Farmer's Weekly Museum ; the first has been re-published in the Aurora —You are requested to give them both a place in your Gazette, and to prefix the enclosed paragraph.
Those who read the Aurora , will have the justice to recollect that Citizen BACHE has, since June last, frequently republished, and often fabricated, the vilest falsehoods against one of the Senators of Georgia. Should the Citizen be rewarded with a punishment equal to his slander,
"Then his report will echo louder Than forty-pounder charg'd with powder." NO FIGHTER.
To the Right Honorable General GUNN, Senator from Georgia, &c. the following SUBLIME ODE Is submissively inscribed, by his Honour's most devoted servant SIMON SPINKY.
Immortal GUNN, I sing thy prowess, No greater hero was, or now is, No dog run mad, or Indian drunk, Could ever rival thee in spunk. It is the truth, deny'd by no man, Thou hast the courage of a Roman; Thy noddle claims a civic crown, Indicative of great renown: Not oak, nor laurel, but, good lack, It shall be made of bakematack! Thy temper's mild as water-gruel, But honour made thee fight a duel, Big with the fate of GUNN and BALDWIN; But soon the latter's horns were haul'd in, With this excuse for what he'd done, A Pistol's nothing to a GUNN, sir! Great General GUNN, myself I flatter, That this will never end the matter, In some fly corner, could you grab him, Your honour, sir, would bid you stab him! And thus your mighty vengeance wreaking, No soul of spunk would think it speaking. Honour, in Gothic bosom resident, 'Tis said depends so much on precedent, And you've authority quite ample— Dread sir, you have your own example, For something which has some relation To something call'd affection ! In my opinion, sir, the fact is, Your name may fashion such a practice, For, stabbing one man with impunity, Will surely give you this immunity, When you're offended with a noddly, To slyly thrust him through the body! Great GUNN, I think it quite a scandal, Since thou art spunky as a Vandal, No bard to thee attunes his lays, Not even a Jews-harp trills thy praise! Since other poets are such gumps, 'Tis time for me to stir my rumps, And would you give me something clever, I'd praise you, sir, much more than ever. Take gentle Simon into pay, And he will laud thee, night and day, Tell how the Gen'ral most redoubtable, In honour's field was never routed— How even Attila, the Hun, Was but a fool to General GUNN— 'Till Fame, a noisy, lying flumpet, Shall yield to Simon her brafs trumpet, Then GUNN's report shall echo louder Than forty-pounder fill'd with powder! Mr. Doane.
From the Shop of Messrs. COLON & SPONDEE, SIMON, our journeyman, to cousin SIMON SPINKY, Greeting.
SHALL verie, to praise great GUNN be call in, And not one line for Abra'm Baldwin! Baldwin biform who Patriarch like, Knows how to pray, and how to fight: Who in our broil with mother Britain, Did fiercer deeds than Gordon writ on— When drums and guns at York were rattling, As a bold, pious brigade chaplain, Despising carnal, martial merit, Proudly drew forth the sword of spirit; And fiercely hied to secret place, To spread before the Lord our case. Brave Abraham, despising raileries, In presence of the House and Galleries, Dar'd tell them all, in valiant trim, That gouging GUNN had challeng'd him! Expecting doubtsless in his rage, The Houte, like kings in feudal age, Would order these brave knights to try, Their might in lists of chivalry: Where right for GUNN, by trumpet call'd in, Should fight the knight yclept for Baldwin! The lists their Marshal fend farray, And Speaker go to see fair play. O cousin Simon, fie for shame! Forbear your big pop GUNN to name: Tell not how often he's been charg'd, How often in the air discharg'd; How often prim'd, how often ramm'd, And how much oftener flash'd in pan, Your bouncing GUNN, for all your ruffs, Is nothing to my blunderbuss. Cease cousin Spunky, cease to tell, How GUNN braves Jackson, hemp and h-l, Baldwin braves more than h-l and hemp, Brave Abram bravely braves contempt.

RECANTATION OF THE AURORA!
"The late turn of affairs so favorable to the cause of Republicanism." [Aurora.]
WHEREAS I have to the utmost of my power, for nearly six years past, advocated the principles of anarchy and disorganization, by a perpetual reprobation of those measures of the general government from which the people of these United States have realized all the hopes they entertained from their successful struggle for independence.
And whereas all my exertions are likely to prove abortive, owing to the defeats they have suffered, and continue to meet with, from the calm intelligence and good sense of the people, who appear determined though they have no law like the Athenians ("which made it death for strangers to meddle with affairs of state") to govern themselves independently of all foreign influence or interference: Now therefore, to the end that all persons may bear witness to my candour, and frank acknowledgement of my past errors, misconceptions, misrepresentations, and misdemeanors, I hereby acknowledge that "that the late turn of affairs so favorable to the cause of republicanism" in the proceedings of Congress and the people has entirely disarmed me of all cause of complaint against the government of the U. States, and the administration thereof; for sensible I am, that if the decisions of the majority of the "immediate" representatives of the people, do not command the acquiescence, approbation and obedience of the democratic Janto whose immediate organ I am, as they most undoubtedly do of the great body of the people, I shall, like my brother "the Jersey Chronicle" whose funeral obsequies I have lately celebrated, soon be no more; and the Argus of New-York will in turn deplore the untimely fate of the Aurora , while dread anticipation will whisper to his affrighted imagination "Be ye also ready."
Mr. Fenno, In a late number of the Boston Chronicle, one of the Subs of the Hollow War-
seat of the Carthaginian party in Boston, when the people voted in favor of the memorial to Congress, by saying, "they who change, will change again." The following paraphrase on the sentence, is at your service. Yours, A RINGER.
WE praise the people to the skies, When they conduct as we advise; But if they thwart our plans, why then "As they have chang'd—they'll change again." By which you plainly may infer, Tho' we cannot, the mob may err. When they believe whatever we write, And peace, and order put to flight, Altho' th' affection may found old, Their voice is then the voice of God; But if, as happened of late, The people bless their happy fate; Run counter to our hellish arts, And cuse us with their tongues and hearts, We flyly sing, "the fact's not strange, "For they who've chang'd, again may change" Thus, as the devil is our friend, Our subterfuges never end.
From a Correspondent. A writer in the Aurora of yesterday praises Mr. Swanwick for his consistency; the title of the panegyrist on the city member resembles much the title of that member's panegyrist on the Spanish Treaty; but no man can be supposed so vain as to praise himself. As to his consistency, that may be proved by the address to the President last Summer from the town-meetings, which he assisted in drawing up, which he signed, and which contains these remarkable expressions—"Your memorialists entertain a proper respect for your constitutional authority, and whatever may be the issue of the present momentous question, (namely whether the President would ratify the treaty) they will faithfully acquiesce in the regular exercise of the delegated powers of the government."
How did Mr. Swanwick keep his promise? did he acquiesce? no—he was among the first and most zealous to oppose the carrying the treaty into effect, though ratified by the President and proclaimed by him as the law of the land. He may quibble, and say, that he meant by acquiescing in the regular exercise of the delegated powers of the government, the house of Representatives, but it is too barefaced an evasion to be credited; the memorialists expressly relied on the President's constitutional authority to save them from the treaty, but promised on their honor, as good citizens, to acquiesce whatever might be the issue.

SCHEME of the LOTTERY, No. II,
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Prizes, Total Amount. Rows include: A magnificent 20,000 dollars, & 1 dwelling-house, 5 cash 30,000, are 59,000; 1 ditto 15,000 & cash 25,000, are 40,000; 1 ditto 15,000 & cash 15,000, are 30,000; etc.
167,739 Prizes. 35261 Blanks. 59,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 400,000
N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but one:
And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant Specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be credited within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off:—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most suspension indispensable.
SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
