Sales at Auction.
Sales of REAL ESTATES.
To be Sold by Public Vendue.
ON Tuesday the 14th of July, at the City Coffee House, at 7 o'clock in the Evening.
Two Valuable Plantations,
Being part of the Estate of Andrew Doz, deceased. One containing about one hundred and seventy one Acres, whereon is erected a new and substantial brick building two stories high, with three rooms on a floor, and cellars underneath. On the premises is a pump of excellent water, a stone barn, a spring house, and a wharf at the landing, near the mouth of Frankfort Creek. Also a fine apple orchard, from which, upwards of two hundred barrels of Cyder have been made in a year, and a quantity of apples sold.
The other, adjoining the former, contains about fifty eight acres, whereon is a convenient brick house, a new barn, a pump of good water, an orchard, cyder mill, &c.—This tract is subject to a ground rent of 45 pounds per Annum, redeemable at any time after the 20th January, 1826, on payment of 112 oz. 10 dwt. of Gold. The two farms contain about seventy Acres of Wood Land, the whole is inclosed with post and rail fencing.
The situation is beautiful for a gentleman's seat, Frankfort Creek and the Delaware being in full view, with all the craft passing up and down the river. On these waters there is plenty of bowling and fishing, and the creek affords an inexhaustible stock of manure—The produce of the Farms may be easily transported from the wharf to the city of Philadelphia, which is only six miles distant, except in the Winter when the navigation is interrupted by ice, and then the communication is open by Frankfort road, which is the best to the Philadelphia market.
Any person desirous to view the premises, they will be shown them by George Castor, living there; and the terms of sale will be made known at the vendue.

FRAUNCES'S TAVERN.
No. 59 South Water Street.
THE Subscriber respectfully begs leave to inform his friends and the public in general, that he has removed from No. 166 fourth 2d Street, to that large, commodious, House in Water Street, between Chestnut and Walnut Streets, lately occupied by Mr. Isaac Hazlehurst, and, on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it convenient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen. The House being situated on the same spot where the noted Beef Steak and Punch house formerly stood, has the advantage of the best water in this city, known long since by the name of the Green Tree Water. As there are several elegant Rooms, sufficiently large to accommodate any Society or company of gentlemen, and from his well known abilities to please in the line of his business, he flatters himself with a continuance of that patronage which he has experienced since he first opened a Public House in this City, and, for which he begs leave to make a public acknowledgment. For the accommodation of Small Parties, the Large Coffee Room on the ground floor is conveniently fitted up with a number of Boxes, contrived in such a manner as to admit Gentlemen to be as private as they please—Where may be had, at any hour, Soups, Beef-Steaks, Relishes, &c. &c. He has on hand, and will keep a constant supply of Spirits and Malt Liquors, and of the best qualities. Breakfasts provided—Also Dinners and Suppers cooked in the most approved manner, at a short notice, and pastry of all sorts, made to order, in the House, or to send out at any hour.

The large, convenient, Stores and Vaults, underneath the House, with the Office above, to be rented, either separate or together—For terms apply to the Subscriber. June 2.

THE Ladies and Gentlemen of Philadelphia and its vicinity are respectfully informed, that a Building of the above description is intended to be immediately erected, under the sole direction of T. SWANN, where Ladies and Gentlemen will be instructed in Riding and managing the Horse according to the established rules of art, and Horses will be properly broke for every purpose. But as the fitting up such buildings will be attended with a heavy expense, he has published proposals, soliciting a subscription to forward this useful Seminary, particulars of which may be seen at Mr. Ormrod's Printing Office Chestnut street; he will be happy to wait upon any lady or gentleman inclined to honour him with their support and fully explain himself on this subject, a line addressed to him at No. 63, South Third street will be duly attended to. Those gentlemen &c. who may have horses labouring under diseases either sick or lame he will attend on them if desired and immediately explain the nature of the complaint and what can be done to help and relieve them—he also engages to cure and make sound horses which have the following complaints, viz. canker'd feet, contracted hoofs, sand cracks, quittors, splents, wind galls, curbs and spavins, either bog or hock, if in their first stages. He performs a curious manual operation which takes away the cause of blindness from Horses that have bad and weak eyes. The above he has experienced on more than six hundred Horses, with singular success. N. B. Any Lady or Gentleman who have Horses that have been ill broke, and very awkward and unhandsome to ride, he will engage to give them six suppling lessons in his temporary manage, at the small expense of only five Dollars, by which their Mouths and actions shall be more altered for the better than is possible to be conceived by those who are unacquainted with the art. The Lectures on Horsemanship published by T. Swann are to be had at Mr. Ormrod's, Chestnut-street; where-in is contained more concise and genuine instructions on which the art is founded, than are to be had in any publication, comprised in so small a compass, now extant.

FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, HELP, HELP—the town is on fire—the world's on fire—we shall all be burnt up alive—roasted, baked, to make a dinner for damn'd aristocrats. Stop your mouth, fool; the fire is out, extinguished, every spark of it; don't then alarm the town and disturb honest people from their rest. But nothing can stop the mouth of a fool, especially if he is a wicked one; he cries on FIRE, FIRE, FIRE; if it is now out it was not a little while ago; if the vigilance of our watchmen has suppressed the flame, the house was certainly on fire; if we are not to be burnt up, we had like to have been; it is all one; FIRE, FIRE, FIRE. Such, and so absurd, is the clamor raised against the late treaty with Great Britain. The only obnoxious part, the only part against which the venom of fiction is directed, and by which the public peace is attempted to be destroyed, is that which is rejected by the Senate, and which therefore no more forms a part of the treaty than the Mahometan creed or the adventures of Jack the Giant Killer. But what can appease determined discontent? what arrest the voice of aspiring Faction? The clamor is abroad, and it will be echoed from Democratic Society to Democratic Society, through every state where a Democratic Society is to be found; then die in the insignificance of those who gave it birth.
We'll state a few plain and broad observations, under which this negotiation should be candidly considered. It should be remembered, that when we are treating with a great and politic nation, (for such is Great-Britain, in spite of her misconduct and corruption) we must not expect that our desires are to be the terms of negotiation—that because a thing is for our advantage, therefore it is to be given—because inconvenient to us, therefore rejected. Great-Britain has its interests to attend to and to urge as well as we have; and if the best compromise of those interests is made, the best terms admitted that the nature of the case would give, we should be satisfied. It is not but to ask and receive, but to knock at their ports and have them opened to us, without an equivalent, without condition or controul. Certainly it would have been a good thing if Mr. Jay could have persuaded the British ministry to cede to us the exclusive trade between their West-India islands and Europe; to have given us the free use of all their ports without duty or restraint; to have given us a million of dollars, or any thing else you please. But could a man in his senses ask these things, or would men in their senses have granted them? Is it not enough then to show that an article is not quite so convenient or beneficial as we could wish, while it is evident we could not and perhaps ought not to have had it on better terms. If Mr. Jay had been treating with a nation of idiots or children, he might have cajoled the poor creatures out of any thing he could have asked; or if Mr. Jay had been sent to negotiate, or rather give terms of pardon, to a people vanquished by our arms, on their knees imploring our mercy, in that case too he might have imposed on the suppliants such terms as conquerors usually give. But in truth he had to deal neither with fools nor suppliants, but with a people wise and politic, tho' deluded; with statesmen deep and experienced, tho' dishonest and corrupted. It is therefore ridiculous to expect they could be either terrified or ensnared by any man under Heaven into a compact by which they were to give every thing, and receive nothing. In short, I profess myself satisfied with the treaty as the Senate have ratified it, because it gives us many and great benefits with as few and small sacrifices and inconveniences as could have been expected.

Continuation of FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. By the Ship ADRIANA.
GENOA, April 13.
The French are encroaching very considerably on their magazines. Their army amounts to 50,000 men. LEGHORN, April 15.
The intelligence of a dreadful conspiracy having been discovered, when on the eve of breaking out in Sicily, is confirmed. The number of persons arrested at Palermo has, however, been exaggerated; they amount to no more than 30, who have been sent in chains to Naples.
MILAN, April 18.
The General Baron de Vins arrived here yesterday evening. He will leave this place to-morrow to take the command in chief of the army.
STRASBOURG, April 22.
General Pichegru arrived eight days since at the army of the Rhine. He is actively employed in giving to it a new organization: for this purpose he has reviewed the several corps from Coblenz to Landau. We expect him here every day.
MADRID, April 15.
The Marquis of Rubi has been appointed captain general of Andalusia; the prince of Castel Franco, Commander of the army of Navarre, and the Marquis Del Campo, now ambassador to the court of London, to go in the same capacity to Vienna. The archbishop of Toledo has ordered all the plate and ornaments of the churches to be given up, and applied to defray the expense of the war.
The determination of making a new levy of 80,000 men, is now carrying into effect with full vigour, for the completion of our armies, of the operations of which we have no particular information.
HAGUE, April 28.
Citizen Blauw has set out again for Paris, to carry the answer of the States General to the articles he lately brought. Two deputies are also to proceed to Paris from the province of Zealand, which province is particularly interested in the said articles.
Citizen Hohendorp has been again chosen President of the States General in the place of citizen Kempenaer, and Citizen Gevers Vice President.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, 20th Floreal, May 9. SUBMISSION OF STOFFLET.
The Discussion was interrupted by the reading of a letter from the Deputies on mission in the Western Departments. They announced that they had completed the re-establishment of peace in La Vendée, and that Stofflet and all the chiefs of his party had submitted to the laws of the Republic, and had sworn never to bear arms against their country, and to surrender the artillery in their possession.—applause.
Ruelle, who had just returned from La Vendée, cited as a proof of the good faith of the Chouans, that they had given up a million of forged assignats, and the plates from which they had been struck. An English Squadron attempted to land some Emigrants at Port Briex, but the Peasants rendered their attempts ineffectual.
MASSACRE AT LYONS.
Matthieu, from the Committee of general Safety, informed the Convention that a commotion had taken place at Lyons, on the 15th Floreal, May 4. That the relations of those who had been put to death under Ropelpierre, had broken into a house of arrest, and had put to death between 60 and 70 persons. The National Guard had not been able to quell the fury of the people, who cried out, as they put the prisoners to death, "This man denounced my father! This assassinated my wife! This murdered my child!" Boisset, the Deputy, harangued the people, and at length put an end to the insurrection.
The Convention decreed, that the Deputies on mission at Lyons, should send a report of the events of the 15th Floreal, and that the Committee of Legislation should order those accused of abuse of authority at Lyons, to be prosecuted.
IPSWICH, May 12.
The 88th Regiment of foot arrived here on Thursday from the Continent; when they went abroad it consisted of 1000 men, and they had two drafts sent them of upwards of 150 men each time. When they arrived here they were reduced to 250 men.
From the Times.
LONDON, May 16.
It appeared, in the debate on Thursday, that the new establishment of the Prince of Wales amounted to 35,000l. a year, in salaries only. This seemed to the House to be a much more exorbitant sum than any proposed income could possibly bear; and we trust, therefore, that his Royal Highness will cause an immediate reduction to be made in it.
In the debate on Thursday night, Mr. Lambton gave it as his opinion, that no gentlemen holding places in any of the royal establishments, and having seats in either House of Parliament, ought to be allowed to give their votes during the time they held such offices, as it created an undue influence in the legislature. Much may be said in favour of this observation; but, surely, if Mr. Lambton's argument holds good in one instance it must in another; and we suggest, whether, in debating the subject of the Prince's debts, any gentleman ought to throw in the weight of his personal influence, who is in any degree related to those who are very justly suspected of having led his Royal Highness into acts of very great imprudence, to use no harsher term.
Vast quantities of dollars are remitting to Hamburg for the payment of the Imperial Loan, which on the Continent, is supposed to be finally ratified; although this is not the fact. A messenger from Vienna has been hourly expected for the last three days.
The oath to be proposed to the creditors of the Prince of Wales, will be the occasion of many a demand, lately made, lying dormant for ever;—for there are some who would lose all character were they to ascertain the nature of the value they had given for the bonds they have received.
It is the Jobbers in the Stock Exchange, and not the Ministers of this country who are making overtures of Peace. Those two legged bulls and bears have been reaping a plentiful harvest by reports of this nature.
The general fashion of wearing Spencers, reminds us of a wager laid by Lord March, that he would be able to introduce to general imitation, the most humiliating fashion he could think of. Accordingly he appeared several days successively about the Royal Exchange, dressed like a livery servant. The livery consisted of a blue coat with crimson collar and cuffs; and he gained the wager.
Spencers—Over-Coats without Skirts.
A revolution has taken place in Persia, which has entirely changed the posture of affairs in that kingdom, and has put Aga Mahmed Khan, the eunuch, in the entire possession of Persia. Mahmed Khan, the principal Pretender to the kingdom, had kept his rival, Loffali Khan, shut up in the town of Kerman for eight months. Well fortified, both by nature and art, and provided with provisions and ammunition for two years, Kerman might still have held out, but Mahmed Khan having corrupted part of the garrison, the gates of the town were opened to him in the beginning of last October.
We are extremely sorry to state, that the Speaker of the House of Commons still remains very much indisposed. His disorder is the pleurisy. We doubt whether he will be able to attend his duty this day.
Her Majesty has had a return of the disorder in her feet, to which she has been occasionally subject for several years, and which proves more obstinate upon every return.
The generality of people seem to entertain but one idea respecting a certain personage's debts; which is, that in times like the present, they cannot afford to pay those debts for which he never had any value.
Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary,
Friday, Nov. 7. 1794.
"We have now an opportunity of giving the following particulars of the action of the Rohillas on the 26th ultimo, which has been obligingly communicated to us in an extract of a letter from camp."
"The whole line was ordered to be under arms this morning an hour before day light. The general and his staff moved to reconnoitre some miles in front; they saw the enemy forming in full force, and after waiting some time to judge of the probable disposition they would take, rode back to camp to direct the arrangement for action. Our army moved forward in one body; the artillery stationed in the intervals of corps; the cavalry on the right flank; the charge of the enemy was most daring and gallant, and it is utterly impossible that it could have been surpassed; both lines met and intermingled; the bayonet prevailed, and our army pursued the enemy across the Doojura Nullah. The enemy consisted on a moderate computation of 25,000 men; about 4000 of them were cavalry, who directed their whole force against the reserve, and made dreadful execution; the number of the enemy slain was very great. Our loss in European officers was very considerable; Major Bolton was shot after having cut down several of the assailants; his battalion behaved with a degree of steadiness that would have done the most disciplined corps in the world honour."
"The charge on the part of the enemy was peculiarly singular; they formed in line infinitely beyond the extent of ours, in deep wedges, supposed of fifty deep. When the signal of our advancing, which was two guns from the centre of the line, was given, we moved in good order slowly forward, at that time about 1200 yards from the enemy. They moved towards us; when both lines had come within about 500 yards, Golaum's people scattered individually, approached in that extraordinary manner, and contended the point with our bayonets; they appeared to despise our musketry; and upon every discharge of artillery embraced the ground, instantly rising and advancing to the charge; their arms were spears, matchlocks and swords, which latter they employed with a destructive effect, and their attack, as by universal consent, was called the Highland charge. Najeeb Khan was killed in the action; Oomer Khan wounded: both these men had decisive influence in Golaum's councils. Another brother of Golaum's is come in this evening, but he had quit his brother yesterday. There never was a more justifiable war than this, or, at least, there never was a grosser provocation, or more desire to avoid hostility."
"Golaum Mahomed, whilst he affected obedience to the Nabob, proceeded without the boundary of the Rampore Districts; He was told, that when he retired within the limits of his father's jaghire, his story would be heard with attention, and he was given until this evening to comply with that condition; instead of which, he advanced posts within musket shot of our picquets, and fired upon a party of cavalry stationed in advance with the picquets; this intelligence determined the action, which commenced on Golaum's part, by opening his artillery at half past nine. Our signal guns were fired at 35 minutes after that hour, and the action at the different stages of it, until the enemy were beaten from the field, in every direction, lasted till near eleven o'clock, and then the time taken up to pursue in order of battle, our army did not reach this place till four or five o'clock, when we arrived on the banks of the Doojura Nullah. Golaum left the greater part, if not the whole, of his guns and camp equipage. The enemy's retreat was so complete that we could not discover a single horseman when we got to Nullah; at this time the Vizier's corps, from Berely, joined."
"The following list of officers, killed and wounded, has been taken from private letters, which we believe to be correct."
Killed—Col. Burrington; major Thomas Bolton, commanding 18th Native battalion; capt. Norman Macleod, commanding 13th ditto; capt. John Mawbey, of 2d European battalion; lieut. J. Z. M. Birch, ditto; ditto; lieut. John Plumer, of 13th Native battalion; lieut. W. Hinckman, of ditto; lieut. Joseph Richardson, of ditto; lieut. William Rennie, of ditto; lieut. A. Cummings, of 18th Native battalion; capt. J. Mordaunt, of artillery; lieut. E. Baker, of ditto; lieut. James Teiser, of ditto.
Wounded—Capt. Bruce, aid-de-camp to col. Burrington; capt. Edwards, of the 12th Native battalion; lieut. Odel, of 13th ditto, left an arm; lieut. Macleod, of ditto; brigade major Edm. Wells; adjutant Lewis Thomas, of 13th Native battalion; Richard Adams, of 14th ditto; lieut. Jollie, of 2d European battalion; lieut. Robertson, ditto; lieut. Robert Murray, of the cavalry; lieut. J. P. Pigot, of ditto.
Translations for the Diary, from the Courier d'Equite.
PARIS, 17th Floreal, (6 May.)
The city at present is in a perfect state of quietude. Though provisions are not abundant, we are no longer made unhappy by the terrible apprehension of want and misery. The quantity of bread assigned to each person costs near half a livre—it is distributed at an early hour, and the crowds at the doors of the bakers are not so numerous nor violent as some days ago. The stage coaches are loaded with bread which the inhabitants of the country and the departments send to their relatives or friends in town—but if we suffer less from former want, we are distressed by the depreciation and discredit of the assignats—gold and silver articles have considerably advanced in price within three or four days, and every other species of merchandise bears the same increasing proportion. It is greatly to be wished that government would interfere, and put a stop to the intrigues of the villains who cause the fatal events.
From 11 o'clock in the morning till 10 or 11 at night, is to be seen in the gardens of Egalite, a crowd of wretches who make a trade of every thing, speculating on the distresses and availing themselves of the misery of the public.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of the 16th Floreal, (5th May.)
Dubois Crance proposed a plan to insure the subsistence of all the great communes, even that of Paris, and of all the armies however numerous, without issuing an assignat from the national treasury.
This simple plan, which he had formerly proposed to the Constituent Assembly, is to establish payments in the nature of contributions, on the same footing as they were in 1790. He entered into calculations of various commodities of the first necessity, and of their comparative value in assignats, and evidently proved that such a measure if heretofore adopted, would have saved the Republic several millions.
He refuted the objections advanced against the mode of collection, and proposed to limit the duration of this impost to the end of the war. Finally, he presented it as the only remaining preervative against the dreadful dilapidations which have been committed under every administration.
After this discourse, the interesting nature of which precluded all tediousness from its proliaxity, Dubois Crance presented a series of questions, of which he demanded the reference to the committees to make a speedy report—after which he presented the following articles of a decree:
Art. 1st. The National Convention decrees that from this time, until the — Fructidor next, all assignats of 25 livres and upwards, shall be carried to the national treasury, the possessors to receive in return a new impression, after that period those of the denomination above mentioned shall cease to be current, but they may be employed in the purchase of national property till the — Germinal next.
Art. 2d. The proceeds of the sales of national property shall be deposited in the public treasury, to be applied towards the current services of the campaign—at the end of the year the surplus shall be burned, as well as the assignats returned into the treasury by means of the lotteries.
Art. 3d. No new assignats shall hereafter be struck, the plates and other instruments of fabricating them shall be publicly destroyed.
4th. There shall be coined 150 millions of copper money within 3 months.
5th. The assignats in circulation retain the nominal value—no person shall be forced to pay in coin rather than in assignats.
The assembly ordered these propositions to be referred to the committee of finance.
17 Floreal, (6th May.)
In the Extraordinary Sitting of yesterday Evening, Vernier was nominated President, several addresses were read; all expressed sentiments of gratitude for the energy and courage shown by the Convention.
A member, from the army of the Western Pyrenees, reported the situation of the Conquered countries, occupied by that army. The French troops, he said, were received in the provinces of Guipuscoa and Biscay like brothers and friends, who came to establish their independence. We have become possessed of the fortresses, only by capitulation, the voluntary act of the garrisons more desirous of admitting, than excluding us. Already the States of these two provinces had assembled, not to demand an union with the Republic, but to proclaim their independence from the Spanish government and their being placed under the protection of France. But the Representative Pinet, called the assemblies of these States, and informed them they were not to give, but receive laws. Pinet did not confine himself to this act of oppression; he arrested all the priests, and caused them to be transported, as hostages, to the citadel of Bayonne. Indignant at so gross a violation of national law, the inhabitants of Guipuscoa and Biscay abandoned their country, where they experienced neither protection nor safety. They joined the Spanish army, in expectation that a period should speedily arrive, when signal vengeance might be taken for these outrages. The Representatives of the People, at present on mission in those countries are laboring to atone for the injustice committed on the inhabitants. They have recalled the exiles, have liberated the pretended hostages, and have the pleasing consolation of seeing that measures of justice and mildness produce the most salutary consequences. Every decade, great numbers of the banished are seen to return. The army of the Western Pyrenees, is at present able to resist every possible attempt of the enemy. [Insertion in the Bulletin.]
The discussion on the finances was resumed.
A Member made a lengthy speech, in opposition to the plan presented yesterday by Dubois Crance, and contended that the collection of the impost was inexcusable from its nature.
Dubois Crance replied to all his objections, and quoted Switzerland, where the same mode of collecting the impost, was in use.
He also cited certain provinces of France where the method pointed out, was formerly pursued with success.
Boissy d'Anglas observed, that the project of D. Crance was not so intimately connected with the general system of finance, that it could not be separated; that it might be advantageously discussed apart, and demanded that it might be referred to the Committee of Finances, to report within one decade.
Bourdou de l'Oise, thought the means proposed by Crance well calculated to escape certain inconveniences, which his penetration enabled him to foresee; but that he was very far from expecting the object in contemplation would be attained by the means proposed; an object laudable in itself, as it went to redeem a large amount of assignats. He therefore demanded the discussion might be continued, with a view to the means of cancelling without loss of time, the assignats now in circulation.
Delmas remarked, that there remained little leisure to pore upon the project of Dubois Crance. He demanded that at the next Primidi, the Committees of Finance and Agriculture, should present a report on the advantages, and inconveniences inseparable from the proposed method of collecting the impost.—Decreed.
Roux, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, informed the Assembly, that an event very common, had retarded the arrival of the provisions expected from Havre; instead of reaching Paris the preceding evening, they were still by the way. Hence it arose that the allowance to the citizens of Paris this morning was less than usual.
The malcontents, said he, have already spread abroad, that we are about being replunged into a state of want, similar to that experienced two decades since—but they shall be disappointed.
The Committee caused to be distributed this morning, a sufficient quantity of rice to supply the immediate necessities of the people. The effort will arrive this evening, and every arrangement is already made to prevent in future any difficulties in dispensing the daily grant of provisions in reasonable plenty.
Roux, concluded by contradicting the false rumours recently spread abroad, that an embargo had been imposed on the supplies expected from Havre, Dunkirk and Ostend—On the contrary, every preparation was taken to insure the uninterrupted transport of provisions from those places to the capital.
A number of misguided women, supported by men from the country, appeared again for the purpose of

pillage. They were at first opposed by reason and argument—this however was unavailing, and it became necessary to draw out the public force to suppress them—perceiving this, they withdrew. inserted in the Bulletin.
By this Day's MAILS.
NEW YORK, July 7.
Extract of a Letter from Havre, dated May 23.
All commerce is entirely stopped by reason of the great fall of paper money, together with the scarcity of bread—as for exchange, there is none: a crown will bring 110 at 120, but there is every appearance of a great change for the better—For and Pearl Albes are in no demand whatever—there has been much disturbance in Paris, fourteen of the Convention are arrested, and it is not yet settled; the disturbance has been some time in agitating, and it is now the opinion, that it will open commerce again. We have this moment received the news from Paris, of the treaty of alliance with Holland; the Dutch are to pay the French forty three millions of livres in specie.
By an arrival from France, on Saturday, we have been favoured with a Paris paper of May 21, from which we have translated the following important articles: [Minerva.]
PARIS, May 20.
Notwithstanding the terrible misery which prevails among a numerous part of the people of Paris, it seems to be felt in a small degree [with an exception of some unhappy wretches who appear to be spiritless] the rest of this metropolis wear an aspect as smiling as in prosperity. The fair sex are more lively than ever; and we see spirited horses with splendid harness and carriages, the few in number, on account of the dearth of forage.
The depreciation and public contempt of assignats, has produced its worst effects; that is, ill humor among the honest, dismay and discouragement among the rich, and an insinuating joy among the agitators who purchase assignats at 50 per cent loss* and with these obtain the National property.
The paper proceeds to state a number of instances of individuals ruined by the depreciation of assignats; an evil that falls mostly on the poorer class of traders and then the writer goes on.
What is the remedy for these evils?—neither proscriptions nor punishments—A government is the voice of all France; a government that we want—a government that shall possess the public confidence, and the assent of a great majority of the nation—a government which shall retain no tincture, no shade of party-spirit—a government in short that may resist the attacks of all parties, and which every man may consider as the source of his future prosperity.
Here we must begin—until this great point is obtained, it is in vain to attempt to restore the public credit, by any financial operation however extraordinary.
The public safety is solely in the hands of the commission of eleven. They cannot be too expeditious in offering the basis of the work. To answer the wishes of the nation, their proceeding must be rapid as the course of the sun. But such is the fatality of circumstances, that the more pressing the measure, the more it demands mature deliberation. A constitution formed precipitately like that of 1793, would plunge us in new calamities; yet if it is not soon offered to the country in danger, what will become of us? Who can divine or foresee our fate!
We have just read a hand-bill which invites all the citizens to proceed in a mass to the Convention, make a statement of the general misery, of the scarcity and dearth of provisions, and in fine to demand the Constitution of 1793, as the only means of restoring happiness to the French people. On the other side, we are just informed that the citizens in many parts of Paris exclaim vive le roi (long live the King.) We do not affirm the fact, as we are not certain of it.
But what is certain is, that the General has been beaten in all the sections; it is said because the Fauxbourg Antoine is about to present a petition to the Convention. To-morrow we will give an account of what shall pass.
* A private letter from France states the value of Assignats to be as one to 150.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of May 20.
Pierret, in the name of the committees of public safety and general security, announced to the Convention that a new insurrection is formed in Paris. He read a paper of which the following is an extract:
"The people, considering that the government causes them to die of famine—that it is unjust, arbitrary, tyrannical—that it causes to be imprisoned and massacred those who ask for bread—that its force is derived only from the weakness of the citizens—that the guards drawn from the armies to weaken them, have not taken the oath to this tyranny, but to the people—that it belongs to the portion of the people nearest the oppressors, to give the signal of revolt, the people order , 1st. That the citizens of Paris, male and female, proceed this day in mass to the Convention, to demand bread, the abolition of the revolutionary government, the immediate establishment of the Constitution of 1793, the dissolution of the present government and its replacement, the arrest of each of the members who compose it, the release of all who are confined for having demanded bread, the convocation of the primary assemblies on the 25 Prairial (June 13) to renew all the constituted authorities and to replace the Convention, with the Legislative body, on the 25th of next Messidor, (July 13.)"
2d. The barriers shall be shut; persons and property shall be put under the safeguard of the people, who shall seize the river, the telegraphic, the alarm guns and the drums, to the end that no use be made of them.
3d. The citizens employed in subsistances shall alone have permission to pass the barriers; there shall be delivered them a certificate by a commission ad hoc.
4th. The companies of infantry and horse now in Paris or its environs are invited to rally under the banners of the people.
5th. All power not emanating from the people is suspended; every agent or officer of government who shall not immediately resign his functions, shall be regarded as a partizan of the tyranny and punished as such.
6th. The people shall not take rest, till they have re-established the means of subsistence and secured the happiness of all the French.
7th. The rallying point is, Bread and the Constitution of 1793.
8th. An address shall be made to the arms, informing them of the motives and success of the insurrection.
At the bottom of this order, there is a note, conceived nearly in this manner:
"The government will not be able to restrain the movement of the people, when they shall take from their magazines, the provisions stored there for the execution of its criminal designs."
Some applause proceeded from the tribunes at the reading of this paper. The Convention indignant declare they will remain at their post.
Many of the members spoke in succession: they declared that there was a design to pillage property, to bring about another 12th Germinal, (April 1, commotion at the time of banishing Barrere) to arrest the circulation of provisions, and prevent the Convention from concluding a peace with most of the combined powers. They invited the people not to disgrace their virtues, and to bear for a few days longer what they had suffered for five years.
A moment after, Laport informed the Convention, that the malcontents had just begun their movements. It was decreed, that the commune of Paris is responsible to the republic for every attack on the National Representation; that every citizen is required to appear forthwith with arms, at the head-quarters of his section, there to wait the orders of his commanders: that there shall be a roll-call in each company, and a list of the absent shall be sent to the administration of police, who should render an account of them to the committee of general safety: that the ringleaders of the riot are outlawed: that it is enjoined on all good citizens to arrest them, and in case of resistance to fall upon them; that those shall be reputed ringleaders who compose the first twenty individuals taken at the head of each collection of people: that petitions presented according to law shall be heard: that the Convention shall be permanent, till tranquility is restored, and that the committees of government shall make returns hourly of the state of Paris.
[Here end our accounts, in the midst of this interesting period; a circumstance much to be regretted. The same paper however contains part of a project for forming a sinking fund or bank for the redemption of assignats, which we shall publish to-morrow.]
NEW-YORK, July 7.

BOSTON, July 3.
This morning, arrived ship Hope, Capt. Rols, in 38 days from Liverpool; but unfortunately brought no late papers. From verbal information however, we learn, That a new war had broken out in India, between the English and Mahrattas; one bloody action had already occurred; the victor is not mentioned. The English lost one col. 1 adj 2 majs. 5 caps. 14 lieuts. and several hundred privates. In Ireland, commotions are continual, and grow more and more alarming; near 10,000 men were embodied in one county; the British were drawing all Irish regular troops from Ireland, and replacing them with the English late from the Continent. Admiral Howe has resigned. Rumours of Peace were current. Nothing material from the Continent. No late Naval Action.
June 12, lat. 45, long. 44, spoke Aurora, Cushing, 15 days from Norfolk for Havre, June 23, lat. 41, long. 60, 30, spoke Fair American, Sherman, 5 days from Boston for France.

Dixey of Marblehead, were at Liverpool from France.
RICHMOND, July 1.
At a General Court, held at the Capitol, in the City of Richmond, on the 10th day of June, 1795. The grand Jury made the following presentments.
"WE of the grand Jury, do present as a grievance, the policy which saves and secures landed estates from sale under execution."
"1st. Because we deem it Anti-Republican, that the source of national wealth, to wit, the soil should be withheld from the reach of every Citizen whose industry and merit entitle him thereto."
"2dly. Because we think that the universal principles of justice, should incline every individual to
sell any species of property to discharge a just debt, and when that inclination does not operate, the laws shall point out an effectual remedy."
"2dly. Because the policy which might eventually give birth to dishonesty of individuals, will vitiate the whole political system, and the most virtuous and innocent will be implicated in the general evil."
"4thly. Because we conceive that the laws which operate uniformly on all kinds of persons and property with certainty, and energy, will produce confidence; that confidence is the foundation of commerce, and commerce the source of wealth, respect and prosperity—and that the policy which unequally protects either persons or things, does in the same ratio retard the aggrandizement of the country."
"We present as a nuisance the public roads and ways of the state, because they are often circuitous and sometimes impassable: Also as a nuisance a number of disorderly houses chiefly occupied by free negroes, which we conceive are highly dangerous to the peace and happiness of the Community, inasmuch as they encourage idleness, dissipation, and immorality."
"We also present as a nuisance unlawful assemblies of negroes."

The public mind has seldom been more agitated by any question or event, than by the present Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between Great Britain and America, just published. The manner in which the substance of the treaty was first made known, many parts being mutilated and misrepresented has seconded the previous disposition of the Jacobins of our country, to clamor at the treaty and condemn it in gross.
The hasty condemnation of the treaty is an evidence of the continuation of that unrelenting spirit of party and faction, which has embarrassed our public administration for two years past, and which, defeated in one quarter, resorts to new objects to excite discontent and continue its own existence. To effect its object and multiply its partisans, misrepresentation and misconstruction are called in aid, and truth is sacrificed.
The precipitation with which a party have decided on the treaty, is a proof that faction has discarded all regard to candor, truth and decency; for the treaty was condemned intoto, before it was published.—This hasty decision on the merits of an instrument which was the work of several months deliberation; was intended to prejudice the public mind—to forestall the opinion of our unsuspicious citizens, and especially of our merchants, who have generally been the supporters of our excellent government and whose attachment to peace and neutrality our infernal foes are determined if possible to shake and destroy.
In these schemes however the malice of opposition will be defeated; and a full discussion of the treaty will convince the public mind; that if the treaty has not secured to the United States all the advantages which sanguine men expected, and unreasonable men demanded; it has still secured important benefits—that more is gained by America than is conceived, in regard to commerce—that it has justice and mutuality for its basis,—and that it has fully answered the great and main purpose of preserving peace and neutrality to this country, the advantages of which are every where felt and acknowledged.
PHILADELPHIA, July 8.
The ship Swanwick, Capt. Eagleston, arrived at New Castle on Sunday evening, with 250 passengers, 42 days from Belfast.
The appearance of the northern and eastern States, the present season, is highly flattering to the farmer, and to every friend of his country. The grass is more abundant than it has been for many years past; the earth is loaded in a very uncommon degree—The rye [very little wheat is sown in the eastern states] is equally abundant; the flax, oats, and barley are promising; and the maize, tho' retarded in its growth by the coldness of the spring, is beginning to thrive, and promises a rich harvest.
The universal appearance of fruit is still more gratifying; because, for several years past, the apples have been almost totally destroyed by the worms. These devouring animals which, in June for years past, had given the orchards the aspect of winter, have almost totally disappeared. The cause assigned is a severe frost in April last, which killed the eggs of the worm. Whatever may be the cause, the disappearance of these animals is a most agreeable event.
Nor is the general appearance of prosperity and improvements in the country, less gratifying to the friends of America. Every where do we see marks of a thriving condition among farmers; houses in repair or building; fences in good order, and lands well cultivated and covered with herbage. The oldest man living cannot recollect such visible marks of ease, independence and prosperity among the substantial yeomanry of America.
Nor are the country people agitated with the party spirit and dissensions which occasion so much bustle and ill will in the large towns. They do not take part with either of the Powers at War, with the same warmth and decision parties do in this and some other cities. They view the merits of the controversy, and the conduct of the nations at war, with great candor—they feel not the same intemperate zeal to justify any excesses of democracy in France, as that discoverable in our cities: nor do they know any partiality for the enemies of that country, or make apologies for their unwarrantable proceedings. They are free themselves and well satisfied with the administration of our government. They do not believe men in office to be all tyrants and knaves, but have confidence in public measures.

The King of Prussia, on the 16th of April, ratified at Berlin the Treaty of Peace with France. Count Meyerinck, the Adjutant General of Field Marshall Mollendorff, set out immediately with the ratification for the Prussian Head Quarters, in Westphalia, from whence it was to be forwarded to Paris.
May 12.
Letters were yesterday received in the city from Bilboa and Saint Andero, in Spain, of so late a date as
the 4th instant, which state, that the Negotiation carrying on between that country and France was then in such a state of forwardness as to leave no doubt of the speedy re-establishment of peace.
Great offence was taken at the late Queen's ball at Buckingham house, from a young Caledonian Lady of fashion appearing in a silver gauze dress, so festooned up, a P'Amazon, as to make, at every sweep of the Scotch reel, the motto legible on her garter, which was "L'Amour," in gold embroidery!
The Duke of York's stud, on the continent, comprised 85 horses; the whole of which were on Monday landed at Yarmouth.
Capt. Pater, who commanded the Moselle sloop of war in the late engagement in the Mediterranean, has been promoted by Admiral Hotbam to the rank of Post, and to the command of the Ca Ira, of 84 guns, now fitting out at St. Florenzo.
Warsaw—Altho' the British Envoy has been recalled, the Nuncio of the Pope, and the Envoys from Vienna, Berlin, and Stockholm, intimate no intention to quit that city.
May 12. The royal straw hat, first introduced by the Princes of Wales, has now descended in rapid rage, so as to become the common ornament of the female head.
PLYMOUTH, May 11.
Major Tench, of the marines, came passenger with Admiral Bligh from Brest.
This morning the bounty for marine recruits was advanced 3 guineas, in addition to the former bounty.
WEYMOUTH, May 12.
On Monday Capt. Wilkinson, of his majesty's revenue cutter the Greyhound, stationed here, brought in the Dolphin lugger, of Powey, which she took after a chase of nine hours, off the Eddystone, loaded with 250 anchors of spirits, two tons of tea, besides tobacco. She is a new lugger, a remarkable fast sailer, above 40 tons burthen, and had 13 men on board, whom Capt. Wilkinson immediately put on board the King's cutter in Cawland Bay, for the use of his majesty's navy.
LONDON, May 6.
It is with pleasure we inform our readers, that on mustering the British infantry, previous to embarkation on the continent, there was found one third more than were known to be living, according to the returns which had been possible to collect since the retreat from Holland. On hearing that the infantry were all to be embarked for England, soldiers come flocking down to the coast from different parts of the country, who were thought to have perished, or to have been taken prisoners. There are in all 20 regiments.
Letters from Basse state, that a treaty of peace between France and the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel is on the point of being concluded.
The reigning Duke of Wertenberg is included in the treaty of peace made by Prussia with France.
On the 12th ultimo General Lauer arrived at Vienna, and had an immediate audience of the Emperor, to whom he delivered some French dispatches which had been sent to Clairfayt's Head Quarters at Bockenheim, offering a truce on the part of the French.
By letters from Bombay, dated Jan. 4, 1795, we learn, that the Centurion man of war had arrived there a few days before, after beating off four French ships near Mauritius. The Diomedes man of war was in sight at the same time, but unable to give any assistance.
General Pichegru is now at Worms, and it is uncertain how soon the operations of the campaign may commence in that quarter.
The army of Austria and the empire, on the Upper Rhine, amounts now to upwards of 190,000 men, and might long ago have crossed the Rhine, to endeavor to raise the siege of Luxemburg, which still holds out with the greatest obstinacy. Certain it is, that this might have been done with the more success, as the French army was in a most wretched state on the Rhine about three weeks ago, but has now received very large reinforcements of infantry and cavalry.
The King of Prussia has been acknowledged by the Convention as a mediator between France and the rest of the German Princes, at war, who may obtain peace on terms less or more honorable than those which he stipulated for himself.
Letters from Berlin of the 18th, state, that the king of Prussia was closeted all day long on the 15th instant, with his ministers, and at the end of this transaction, a courier was dispatched to Peterburgh, with dispatches which were reported to be of the most serious nature.
At Brussels, the patriotic song called Le Reveil du Peuple, has been forbidden.
Upwards of two hundred persons were arrested at Paris on the 12th ult. for having said they would go in a mass to Ham, to open their fittings there.
Seven persons were guillotined at Avignon, for an attempt to murder the national deputy, Delry.
Bills to the amount of 450,000l. have been drawn by the British resident and consul at Hamburg upon our treasury here, in part of the Imperial loan.
General Pichegru, on the 11th April, joined the army on the Rhine.
The actual state of affairs appears to us to hinge on the following points; First, as long as France does not possess any settled and active Constitution, it is impossible to treat with her with any kind of sincerity, since she has no means of guaranteeing her stipulations. Secondly, the experience of six years having clearly evinced, that democratic principles are only fit to vulcanize the French people, and to provide them with the means of spreading the revolutionary blaze over all the neighbouring countries. A form of government should therefore be proposed to the French, with a view to put a period to their convulsions, and to restore them to their former happiness and peace.
Extract of a letter from the army of the Rhine, before Mayence, April 13.
"Reports of peace arrive every day, and we begin to believe them, since the signing of the treaty with Prussia has been announced at the head of our battalion."
"After the warm action of the 5th inst. (16 Germinal) the enemy has been very quiet: they do not interrupt our labourers, who work under the mouths of their cannon. We presume it is not intended to undertake immediately, truly, and seriously, the siege of this place—nevertheless we are fortifying every part of our camp in such a manner as to make it impregnable."
"From the latest intelligence which, at first, was concealed (I know not why) it appeared that this affair of the 10th Germinal was more bloody than was at first reported. The number of wounded was great; yet our troops gave proofs of courage, and instances have been mentioned which will doubtless be made public, and handed down to posterity by those who were present."
"The representative Gavaynac, and General Kiebert who replace Gen. Michaud, have proceeded to Huningue, probably to hasten the means of rendering the operations of our army destined to undertake the siege of Mayence, more effectual."

Charlotte a tale of truth—by Mrs. Rowson, of the new Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this entertaining novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.]
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, APRIL 1791, p. 468.
"It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her govern-ess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of his friend."
The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."
