MR. FENNO,
WITH pleasure we must read, that, among other things stipulated with Mr. Jay by the English cabinet, is the manumission of our distressed brethren in Algiers.
Leit he never dilatoriness and even total neglect in this business may take place (a thing not very improbable, judging from that nation's former conduct towards us) and considering that the importance of the occasion demands promptitude of execution, (for what, fellow-citizens, can be worse than Algerine slavery) an individual wishes to enquire, what progress has been made by the Committee appointed a few months ago for this purpose?—A degree of ardor and benevolence was then displayed worthy of the American character; but of late we hear nothing on the subject. Remember, that while we are at ease in our persons and property, and our minds only agitated now and then with a few perturbations arising from the situation of our country, they are hourly groaning under the chains of slavery, the stripes of cruelty, and the yoke of servitude. Put the case to yourselves, and let it spur you on to diligence in their redemption. Have the subscriptions been filled, or are persons now employed in collecting them? If so, and an adequate sum raised, Have the Committees appointed for that purpose sent on, or are they preparing to send on the purchase money of the liberty, I believe, of some hundreds of our fellow-citizens? Surely humanity, justice, love of country, demand that these things be enquired into, and that the real state of the business be known, that if things are not yet in a train of accomplishment, citizens may now again at this moment recollect their vigour, and carry measures to effect it; if they are, that they may enjoy the heart-conforting satisfaction of having rescued from slavery and death an useful body of American Citizens.
HUMANITAS.
Legislature of Pennsylvania.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
September 11.
The following is an accurate statement of the observations made by Mr. White, on the motion for the appointment of a committee to bring in a bill authorizing the Governor to complete the quota of militia required from this state by accepting voluntary enrolments, and to provide bounties for such volunteers.
MR. SPEAKER,
As we are convened by the Governor on account of the late disturbances in the western country, I conceive it will not be disagreeable to the members of this house to hear the several causes and circumstances of those disturbances stated to them, and as the resolution now under consideration contemplates an awful appeal to arms for their suppression, I hope I shall be indulged so far as to be permitted to make the statement I have alluded to.
MR. SPEAKER,
I have risen from my seat in order to state to this house, the reasons which have excited that part of my constituents who are citizens of the western counties of this commonwealth, to oppose such part of the revenue laws of the United States, as demand a duty on spirituous liquors of their own manufacture, and for their own consumption. The reasons are various, but as many of them as I am able, I shall communicate in as few words, as my abilities will admit of. In the first place then, we lived in a new country, and many of the necessaries of life could not be had nearer than the trading towns on the eastern side of the mountains, which great distance of land carriage, made it impracticable for us to procure them with the produce of our farms; therefore to these places we were compelled to send our money, which greatly diminished our stock in hand. The land office was another channel through which our money was conveyed into the treasury of this commonwealth, and from thence very little ever returned to us again, so that we were left bare of cash, and the greatest number of us who had not land, were unable to buy, and were prevented from settling north-west of the rivers Ohio and Alleghany, by laws that provided against any man holding land there by improvement, and the men who attempted to build and improve, were driven off by armed men and their houses burned with fire. The people thus prevented from taking up lands, were anxious to enter into some kind of business, to procure money, or other property, wherewith to buy; and as whisky, &c. were more portable than any other produce of our country, many of the people entered into that branch of business, so that it became general, that when any thing was sold, it was stipulated that the payment should be made in whisky; thus for want of money whisky became the circulating currency of that country, and many of the manufacturers thereof amused from their
intentions of settling over the river Ohio and Alleghany, thus the population was prevented, and a very spacious and valuable tract of country left uninhabited, through which, the hostile Indians made frequent depredations on the inhabitants of our frontiers; and we were compelled to defend them, without receiving an adequate return for our services, which when we failed to perform, a fine was exacted which generally amounted to more than a six fold tax. A draught was lately made out of each company of the militia, and orders given to them to arm and equip themselves fit for military operations, and to be ready to march at a moment's warning.
Our citizens found that they were liable to be ordered into public service for three months at a time, without receiving one third part of the value of their services, and at the caprice of their officers, to act as well on the offensive, as the defensive or to be stationed at some place, where they could be of no service, at which the people were fretted and soured in their minds; and at that critical moment the marshal of the district came with precepts to enforce the collection of the excise, with all its arrears, which was out of the power of the persons concerned to pay; and summoned them to appear at the next Federal Court, where they could not have the benefit of trial by a jury of their own country. The people then began to converse one with another, and to murmur against the general government, saying, was not this one of the reasons that Congress have given for rejecting the King's government; namely, the transporting us beyond the seas, to be tried at his court for pretended offences; now the Judiciary of the United States have summoned us over the mountains, to be tried at the Federal Court. Another reason they have assigned was, that the King had endeavoured to prevent the population of these states, &c. Have not Congress and the state of Pennsylvania also prevented the population of land north-west of the rivers Ohio and Alleghany, by not suffering us first to seat ourselves thereon, and hold them by improvement till we could get money to take out office rights for them? these are privileges we did enjoy in settling lands south east of the rivers Ohio and Alleghany, as well under the commonwealth as the proprietors of Pennsylvania. Although the Congress of the United States have laid a duty on spirituous liquors of our own manufacture, not excepting that for our own consumption, it does not therefore
and although it was constitutional, we conceive it was a wanton exercise of their constitutional powers, inasmuch as it is a violation of the rights, liberties, and happiness of the people of the nation; for if one article of our own manufacture may be considered as an article for revenue, another may be considered in the same predicament, and the rule will hold good should Congress see proper, to encrease the number of articles for revenue, till a duty is laid on our cyder, beer, grain, cattle, horses, windows, hearths, spinning-wheels, &c. which would subject us to every oppression, that England, Ireland and other European countries are compelled to suffer.
And if it is our duty to be contented in that situation, we may then say, welcome slavery, under the galling yoke of tyrants, farewell happiness, farewell freedom and felicity; we must now take our last long look of liberty. Was it for this that we rejected the king of Great Britain; were the sons of America inspired with noble minds, and were they in the right, when they refused to pay a duty on the tea, and carried their resentment so high, that they consumed it with fire; far be it from us to say, that Congress shall not do this, we know there must be a revenue to support the government of the United States, and think it right that it should be raised not only on the tea, but upon every other foreign manufacture, and whenever these shall be found insufficient, that an equitable tax on our lands &c. shall supply the deficiency. But will not any candid statesman, who is fully acquainted with the amount of revenue which may be raised on articles imported, without any other resource whatsoever, say, that was no more given to the public officers and servants of government than an equitable compensation for their services, it would be fully sufficient in time of peace, to support the government of the United States; and more than would be used, were they as sparing in the wages of Congress, and other officers of government, as they are penurious in allowing wages to those worthy citizens who are devoted to move forth into the field of battle, to ward off the blow directed at the life of the defenceless citizen. Shall these brave heroes and
guardians of our lives at the risk of their own, be thus slighted, or poorly compensated for their services, with three dollars per month, and shall six dollars per day be lavished on a Congressman, three upon an Assemblyman, two thousand pounds per year upon a governor, upon three officers in the land office department 500 pounds each per annum, and upon the comptroller general, register general, and treasurer of the commonwealth, five hundred pounds each per annum, shall a 1000 pounds a year be paid to the judge of the supreme court, 600 each to his associates, and five hundred pounds per annum to each of the district judges? Is it right that such sums of money as these should be paid to individuals for their services when the very half of life is attached from the indigent citizen, the widow and the fatherless orphan, even the bread on which they should feed; and the cows that should give them milk, to sell and procure these large sums of money. And yet these are not so extravagant as the prices paid to the officers of the United States, a part of which we shall now enumerate, viz. to the President of the United States 25,000 dollars per annum, to the Vice-President 5000, to the Secretary of the Treasury 3500, to the Treasurer 2400, to the Auditor 1900, Register 1740, Secretary at War 3000, judge of the supreme court 4000, and to each of the associate judges 3500 dollars per annum.
Is it right for the President of the United States to receive 68 dollars per day, to fit in honor's easy chair, and but 36 dollars each for one whole year's service be given to the men who are destined to stand as marks for the roaring cannon, to wade through the gore, and leap over the heaps of carnage, or fall in its ruins, by the intrepid valour of some fierce European foe; or worn down with fatigue and toil exposed to all weathers and the well aimed shot of the savage warriors, which should they survive, the greatest number of them will still feel to the end of their lives. View the brave soldier with his constitution thus impaired, or perhaps ruined, see him return to his young and helpless family, or into that stage of life where it is right to acquire one, despised by many whose lives and property he has preserved, neglected and forgotten by the United States and all others, and left to breathe out the rest of his days in want and misery: where is the humane thinking man among us, who is a friend to equal laws and equitable compensations, be he where he will this when laid naked to his view will cause the very blood in his veins to run chill, and his heart burn with indignation. This is not all, if he returns a hale man he must become a tenant to some Congress-man, salary officer or other engrosser of large quantities of land, unto whom the United States or the state of Pennsylvania have sold it; it was to them that exorbitant sums of money for their services were paid, and therefore they were able to buy. Was it right for thousands and tens of thousands of acres of land north west of the river Ohio and Alleghany to be sold to an individual, while hundreds of thousands of others, who though worthy citizens, by partial laws if I may term them such are rendered unable to buy and are in want of plantations, whereon to raise their families, and would immediately settle those lands, and if not otherwise defended, would defend themselves against the savage, or other enemy, and would soon through industry and care pay up the price of their lands with its interest; this would bring more into the public funds, and the western defence would then be less expensive. Then would we, who are inhabitants of the western counties, no longer be obliged to leave our families to suffer, and our rising and ripening crops to destruction, while we are dragged from our farms to defend the speculators' lands; while the greatest number of the owners are in Philadelphia and other interior places, living at ease and luxury; was it just and wise in Congress thus to make hundreds rich by leaving millions in abject poverty and slavery. We trust, Mr. Speaker, that you will view these measures, in the same light that the author of the rights of man does. He asserts that it is by distortedly exalting some men, that others are distortedly debased, till the whole is out of nature; a vast mass of mankind are degradedly thrown into the background of the human picture, to bring forward with greater glare, the puppet show of state and aristocracy.
Was not that a cruel and oppressive law which demanded of a part of our citizens an excise and arrears thereof for three years past, on spirituous liquors of their own manufacture, such a number of large sums of money, that from the most accurate calculation we could make
or procure, had all the persons in the four western counties together with the persons concerned, gone forward to the marshal, exciseman, or other receiving officer, with all the money they possessed and put it into his coffer, it would not have amounted to half the demand, and had the people complied thus far, what must have followed; the sequel is obvious, the whole property of the persons concerned, would have been put to sale and as no person there, would have had money to buy with, a number of the salary officers of government, together with the marshal, excisemen, and other men of affluence, would have gone from the eastern parts of the state, and have purchased up all their estates, at perhaps one fiftieth part of the value, and those citizens being stripped of their property must have become tenants to these great accumulators of wealth, the purchasers. Mr. Speaker I have now stated as far as I was able to the members of this house, the local situation, ideas and sentiments, of my constituents in the western country, and I have no doubt of their finding some redress in a proper channel, and I hope it will extend as far as it is right and just, as well by the legislature of the United States, as this state, and that the members of this house whose local situation will admit of it, will be at some pains in removing any mistaken ideas that may have taken place; and further I confide, that every member on the floor of this house, will take their grievances into their most serious consideration; and think what part they would take if the case was their own. I hope they will think with me, that these people having a sense of all these injuries, revolving in their minds till they are worked up to a pitch, have made no greater opposition to so dangerous a law as that which would compel our citizens to pay a duty on any article they make themselves, for their own use, than any other virtuous citizens would have done, had they been in their situation; and considering in the wisdom, coolness and deliberation of the members of this house, I hope and trust they will say, that there is not sufficient cause for the legislature of Pennsylvania at present to provide any military preparations to go against the inhabitants of the western country; or give any greater energy to the laws on their account, lest we should be necessary in destroying the live of many thousands, and their blood cry against us, which would leave a lasting stigma on the United States, as well as this commonwealth: but let us postpone this business till the Congress of the United States shall be assembled in November next, unto whom these people will petition for a redress of grievances, and I trust that that august body, in their wisdom, will give redress in every measure, that is just and expedient; at least so far that an amicable union will take place, as well in every other part of the union, as the one alluded to. And for the uprightness of my intentions, I appeal to an omnipresent God, by whose assistance I trust, that we being thus united, shall be able to defend ourselves against any enemy we have on the globe, or all of them together, were they to unite and invade us.
Before I had gone more than half through with the above address, I was interrupted more than once by one or other of the members, who addressed the chair requesting that I should not be suffered to proceed; however the house was still disposed to let me go on: but on my proceeding, one of the members from York county made a further objection. I found that the house was not in a temper at that time for receiving any favorable impressions by hearing the sentiments of the western people and thought it best to stop before I had finished the above statement, and proceeded more immediately to the resolution under consideration by addressing the speaker to the following purport.
Although there appear to be some persons in the western counties of this commonwealth who are not well affected to some of the existing laws of the United States, yet we find by the public papers that there are a much greater number who are willing to accede to the proposals made by the commissioners of government and who will use their influence to bring the people into a knowledge that the only way that a redress can be obtained is by a petition to the congress of the United States. I therefore move that the further consideration of the resolution now before the house be postponed until Congress shall be assembled. This motion was seconded by Mr. Blair—the motion, however, for postponement was lost, and the resolution, after some time spent in debate, was adopted.
And now as my last effort for the safety of my sinking country, at the hazard of, perhaps more than my repu-
tation, I submit to the press just as it is. Haply it may draw one sympathizing reflection from the legislative or executive department of this state or the United States in their favor, so as to delay the intended wreck, until they can be heard by the Congress of the United States, which I trust would bring about a reconciliation.
BENJAMIN WHITE.
UNITED STATES.
PITTSBURGH, September 10.
Resolves of the Committee at Redstone.
RESOLVED, That it is the opinion of this committee, that it is the interest of the people of this country to accede to the proposals made by the commissioners on the side of the union and of the State of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That the committee to be applied to confer with the commissioners on the part of the United States and of the State of Pennsylvania, with instruction, to said committee to try to obtain from said commissioners such further modification in their proposals as they think will be more agreeable to the people at large, and also to represent the necessity of granting further time to the people before their final determination is required.
Resolved, That the said committee shall publish and communicate through the several counties the day on which the sense of the people is to be taken.
Resolved, That on the day published, the following question shall be submitted to the citizens duly qualified to vote, of the counties of Westmoreland, Washington, Fayette, Alleghany and that part of Bedford county which lies west of the Alleghany mountains, in Pennsylvania, and of Ohio county in Virginia—Question, Will the people submit to the laws of the United States upon the terms proposed by the commissioners of the United States.
Resolved, That the members of this committee for each county shall determine the manner in which the sense of the people shall be taken in their respective counties.
Resolved, That the determination of the inhabitants of each county shall be communicated to a committee, to consist of one member from each county, who shall meet for that purpose at Parkinson's ferry within two days after the sense of the people shall be taken, and shall transmit the general resolutions to the commissioners of government.
We lay before our readers the foregoing proceedings of the standing committee at Redstone, which gave rise to the following correspondence between the commissioners of the United States and the new committee of conference.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 1, 1794.
Gentlemen, The committee appointed by the committee of safety at Redstone the 28th August last, to confer with the commissioners of the United States and State of Pennsylvania, and agreeable to the resolution of said committee, Do request:
1st. That the said commissioners do give an assurance, on the part of the general government, of an indemnity to all persons as to the arrearage of excise, that have not entered their fills to this date.
2d. Will the commissioners aforesaid give to the eleventh day of October next, to take the sense of the people at large of the four counties west of Pennsylvania, and that part of Bedford west of the Alleghany mountains, and the Ohio county in Virginia, whether they will accede to the resolution of the said commissioners as stated at large in the conference with the committee of conference met at Pittsburgh, the 21st of August last.
By order of the Committee,
JOHN McCLELLAND.
The honorable the Commissioners on the part of the United States and of the State of Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 1, 1794.
Gentlemen, We have received your letter of this date; and as time presses, have determined to give it an immediate answer, although we shall be prevented thereby, from making so full and correct a reply, as the importance of the subject requires.
In our correspondence with the late committee of conference, we detailed those assurances of submission to the laws, which would have been deemed full and satisfactory, and which were necessary to the exercise of the powers vested in us. This detail was minutely settled in a conference with a sub-committee of that body. From a desire on our part to accommodate and to render the proposals as unexceptionable as possible, they were altered and modified at their request, till being superior to all exception, they received the unanimous approbation of those gentlemen.
The detail thus settled, required from the standing committee assurances of their explicit determination to submit to the laws of the United States; that they would not directly or indirectly oppose the execution of the acts for raising a revenue upon distilled spirits and stills, and that they would support, as far as the laws require, the civil authority, in affording the protection due to all officers and other citizens. These assurances have not been given. On the contrary, we learn with emotions, difficult to be repressed, that in the meeting of the committee at Redstone, re-

ance to the laws and open rebellion against the United States, were publicly advocated, and that two-thirds of the body, representing twenty three townships, totally disapproved the proposals, and preferred the convulsions of a civil contest to the indulgence offered them by their country. Even the members composing the majority, although, by a secret and undistinguishing vote, they expressed an opinion, that it was the interest of the people to accede to the proposals, did not themselves accede to them, nor give the assurances, nor make recommendations explicitly required of them. They have adjourned without day, and the terms are broken on their part.
We had reason for requiring these declarations and recommendations from that body. They were a representation (in fact) of the different townships in the Western counties—they were a body in whom the people had chosen to place confidence—there were among them men, whose advice and example have had influence in misleading the people, and it was proper they should be instrumental in recalling them to their duty: and their avowed determination to support the civil authority in protecting the officers would have assisted in repressing the violence of turbulent individuals.
Our expectations have been unfortunately disappointed: The terms required have not been acceded to. You have been sent hither to demand new terms, and it is now necessary for us to decide, whether we will return home, or enter into other arrangements.
Upon reflection, we are satisfied, that the President of the United States, while he demands satisfactory proofs, that there will be in future a perfect submission to the laws, does not with the great body of people should be finally bound by the conduct or proceedings of any committee: and if the people themselves will make the declarations required of the standing committee, and give satisfactory proofs of a general and sincere determination to obey the laws, the benefits offered may still be obtained by those individuals, who shall explicitly avow their submission as herein after mentioned.
It is difficult to decide, in what manner the said declarations and determinations of the people, to submit peaceably should be taken and ascertained: We have thought much on this subject, and are fully satisfied, that a decision by ballot will be wholly unsatisfactory, and that it will be easy to produce by that means, an apparent but delusive unanimity. It is therefore necessary, that the determination of every individual be publicly announced: In a crisis, and on a question like this, it is dishonorable to temporize. Every man ought to declare himself openly, and give his assurance of submission in a manner that cannot be questioned hereafter. If military coercion must finally take place, the government ought to know not only the numbers, but the names of the faithful citizens, who may otherwise be in danger of being confounded with the guilty. It therefore remains with you to say, whether you will recommend such a mode of procedure and will immediately arrange with us the manner in which the sense of the people may be publicly taken and written assurances of submission obtained, within the time already limited. We require an explicit and speedy answer in writing.
You request us to give assurances on the part of the United States, that an indemnity shall be granted as to the arrears of excise, to all persons that have not entered their titles to this date.—If it were proper to remit all arrears of duty, we cannot conceive, why those who have entered their titles, should not receive a similar indulgence with those who have refused; nor why you demand peculiar favors for the opposers of the acts, while you abandon those who have complied to the strictness of the laws. We have gone on that subject as far as we think advisable. The clause was introduced at the request of the late committee of conference; and even the file of expressing it, was settled with them. We have therefore nothing more to add on this subject.
You require also that time be given until the 11th day of October, in order to ascertain the sense of the people—that is wholly inadmissible. On the day of the conference the time allowed was deemed sufficiently long; and we are sorry to perceive, that delay only tends to produce an indisposition to decide. There are strong reasons, obvious to a reflecting mind against prolonging the time a single hour—nothing is required but a declaration of that duty, which every man owes to his country, and every man before this day must have made up his mind on the subject. Six weeks have already elapsed, since the ordinary exercise of civil authority has been forcibly suppressed—the officers of government
expelled, and the persons and property of well disposed citizens exposed to the outrages of popular violence. The protection which is due to peaceable citizens; the respect which every government owes itself, and the interests of the United States demand that the authority of the laws be quickly restored. To this we may add, that the militia (which by late orders from the President have been increased to 15,000 men including 1500 rifle-men from Virginia, under the command of Maj. Gen. Morgan) have received orders to assemble, and we cannot undertake to promise that their march will be long suspended. All possible means to inform, to conciliate, and to recall our fellow citizens to their duty, have been used. If their infatuation still continues, we regret, but are persuaded that further moderation and forbearance will but increase it.
If the whole country shall declare their determination peaceably to submit, the hopes of the executive will be fulfilled: and if a part of the survey shall persist in their unjustifiable reliance to the lawful authority of their country it is not the intention of the government to confound the innocent with the guilty. You may therefore assure the friends of order and the laws that they may rely upon prompt receiving all the protection the government can give, and that effectual measures will be taken to suppress and punish the violence of those individuals, who may endeavour to obstruct the execution of the laws and to involve their country in a scene of calamity the extent and seriousness of which it is impossible to calculate.
It is easy to perceive from the whole scope of this letter, that no part of it is addressed to the gentlemen of Ohio county, in Virginia.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 3. Gentlemen, We have received your letter of yesterday, and after having duly considered its contents, we are all of opinion, that it is the interest and duty of the people in the western counties of Pennsylvania, to submit to the execution of the laws of the United States, and of the state of Pennsylvania, upon the principles and terms stated by the commissioners; and we will heartily recommend this measure to them. We are also ready to enter into the detail with you for fixing and ascertaining the time, place and manner of collecting the sense of the people upon this very momentous subject.
Signed by the unanimous order of the committee, JOHN MCCLELLAND.
To the Commissioners of the United States and of the State of Pennsylvania.
CHARLESTON S. C. Aug. 25 Short Memoirs of the late JUDGE HUNT
MR. Hunt departed this life in the prime of it having attained to little more than thirty years of age. He was a son of the late rev. James Hunt, a Presbyterian minister of Bladenburgh in Maryland. After completing his studies at Princeton college and acquiring at a healthy period a competent knowledge of jurisprudence, Mr. Hunt came to this state and was admitted at the bar. His great natural abilities improved and assisted by an excellent education, soon acquired him considerable practice in the upper country; and his unblamable integrity and moral life procured him in a few years, a seat in the house of representatives to which he proved a conspicuous ornament. At the election in May last for a judge of the court of equity, Mr. Hunt was chosen by the legislature to fill that elevated station; and it is greatly to be lamented that so short a portion of time was spared him for the exercise of those talents which could not have failed of adding lustre to his own character, and of being essentially beneficial to the community at large. Mr. Hunt was a widower having married in the year 1790, Miss Rebecca Taylor, of Columbia by whom he had issue two children both of whom, with their amiable mother are since dead.
A sincere friend of the deceased requests our insertion of this small tribute of respect to the memory of a man, who to be beloved and respected, wanted only to be known.
CARLISLE, Sept. 3. On Thursday night last, a party of armed men, who were blacked, called on Major Huling the collector of excise for this county, demanded his commission and papers which were relating to the excise,
they having obtained them went off without further injury.
CINCINNATI, August 2. The last accounts from Greenville, say that our army did take up the line of march from that place on Monday last—that it consisted of about 4000 men, all in high spirits.
ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 24. Sir, Having seen the general orders issued by the commander in chief of this state, and in consequence of receiving some intimation that my company of cavalry will probably be called into service, I am authorized to inform you, in behalf of the company, that they anticipate the summons with that sentiment of cheerful determination which ought at all times, under similar circumstances, to pervade the breasts of those who enjoy the blessings of good government. Permit me to express the satisfaction of the company, on account of your appointment on this occasion, and to offer assurances of the readiness with which they will comply with their country's call, as well as their approbation of, and confidence in their commander.
I am, Sir, with great respect, Your obedient humble servant, ELISHA C. DICK Major-General Morgan.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPTEMBER 12.
Yesterday afternoon the hon. Thomas McKean, Esq. Chief Justice of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, arrived in town from the westward.
At a meeting of the old City Troop of Cavalry, commanded by Capt. Dunlap, at the City Tavern, and of the Volunteer Greens, commanded by Capt. McConnell at M c Shane's on Wednesday afternoon, we have it from good authority, that every member of both troops offered themselves as volunteers on the expedition against the Western Insurgents. The second Troop, commanded by Capt. Singer, we heard, had a previous meeting, at which the same republican spirit was displayed in support of the laws and the violated authority of the state.
The company of artillery commanded by Major Fisher, were the first to offer their services upon this important occasion.
Messrs. Dunlap & Claypoole,
IN your paper of the 8th inst. our names were inserted, along with a number of respectable fellow-citizens, to a petition to the Legislature for relief against the operation of a duty on refined sugar, &c. We hope that our desire to consider our names as withdrawn from the petition may not be taken amiss by the rest of the subscribers, when we assure them that, on mature deliberation, we have had sufficient reason at least to suspend this business until the unanimity of all friends to good government may be less important to the general weal.
PETER and HENRY MIERCKEN. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
GENTLEMEN, THE state of the negotiation with the deluded inhabitants of the western counties, rendering it very doubtful, whether peace and order can be restored, without the aid of a military force, the President has requested me immediately to assemble the quota of the militia of this state, destined for that service. Under the circumstances, which I have already described to you, I cannot withhold an advice and personal interposition to prevent the disgrace, that must attend the non-compliance with this requisition. I have therefore, on the principles stated in my last message, exhorted the officers of the militia, of the city and county of Philadelphia, to exert themselves for their own honor, and for the sake of their country; and I purpose to call on every brigade included in the requisition, in the same manner and for the same purpose.
Be assured, Gentlemen, our fellow Citizens will on this occasion maintain their character as friends to law and order; and to ensure success I have only to repeat an earnest solicitation that our joint exertions may not be defeated by a parsimonious policy.
The necessary attention to my executive duties under the President's requisition will probably require my absence from the city a few days; but I shall make it a point to return before any objects of a legislative nature can be matured for my consideration.
I cannot avoid taking this opportunity to express my sanguine expectation, that the continuance of a mutual confidence between the Legislative and Executive Departments of our Government, will give energy to all our measures; and convince our Fellow Citizens, that while we comprehend the extent of our duties, we are not wanting in zeal or power to perform them.
THOMAS MIFFLIN. Philad. Sept. 10.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10, 1794. GENERAL ORDERS. Col. Clement Biddle, the Quarter Master General of the State Militia, is
directed immediately to lay out an encampment, for the quota of the city and county of Philadelphia Brigades, under the President's requisition of the 7th inst. as near to the west bank of the Schuylkill, as he can find a proper and convenient place. He will, likewise, forthwith provide the requisite supply of arms and Quarter Master's stores; and make the necessary arrangements for furnishing waggons Bat-Horses, and all other supplies within his Department.
The Governor takes this opportunity of returning his most cordial thanks to the officers of the brigades of the city and county of Philadelphia, for the prompt and unanimous declaration of their determination to support the measures of government at this crisis, a conduct so honorable and patriotic was to be expected from their past, and will ensure success to their future exertions, in the cause of their country. He is confident that actuated by similar principles, every citizen will be eager to manifest his attachment to law and order, and that on Wednesday next, agreeably to appointment, the quota of the city and county of Philadelphia, will rendezvous at the encampment, completely prepared to march. It is expected that each militia-man will bring with him a blanket, and if convenient knapsack and canteen.
The adjutant of the several regiments and independent corps are desired to ascertain and report to the adjutant general before or on the day of rendezvous, the state of their drafts or voluntary enrollments of their respective regiments, and of their equipments.
In order to facilitate and expedite the public service the adjutant general has obtained the consent of the governor to employ Major Rees as an assistant in his Department; of which due notice will be taken.
By order of the Commander in Chief, (Signed) JOSIAH HARMAR, Adjutant General of the Militia of Pennsylvania.

NEW-YORK, September 11.
Lieut. Col. Woolsey, immediately from Plattsburgh, in Clinton County, takes upon himself to contradict positively, the report which has appeared in some of the papers of the 8th inst. said to be extracted from the Lansingburgh paper, respecting the murder of Capt. Mallery's family, by the Indians. Circumstantially as that report is detained, it is wholly without foundation. No hostile attempt had been made upon that frontier on the 29th ult. when Colonel Woolsey left Plattsburgh, in company with the said Capt. Mallery, who was going a journey into Vermont.
Reports of this nature, are injurious in a variety of respects—They cause great anxiety to the friends and relations of that part of the country, and tend to irritate the public mind unnecessarily. Persons who propagate them merely for the sake of telling news, or from sinister motives, which most probably is the case, ought, when detected, to be treated with deserved contempt; and in narrations of this kind, which should always be well authenticated, it would be proper for the Printers, who say, "that the respectability of the author entitles the report to full credence," to favour the public with his name.
NEWBURY-PORT, Sept. 6.
Captain Wingate, who arrived here last week, from Rotterdam, left there, July 10, ship General Green, Smith, and brig Elizabeth, Clifts, Master.
July 12, abreast of Portland, English channel, spoke the ship Beckey, Wales, Master, from Alexandria, bound to Cowes, 26 days out, all well.
NEW-HAVEN, September 10.
The committee to report weekly the deaths and state of sickness in this city, certify, That the following persons only have died since the date of their last publication, viz.
September 3. The wife of Mr. Amasa Dorman, Est. 27, of the Putrid Fever.
5th. The wife of Mr. Ezra Linnies 33, do.
A child of Capt. Roberts, 6, do.
The widow Trowbridge, 53, do.
7th. A son of Mr. A. Dorman, 9, do.
A child of Mr. Sears; 5 months, of a lingering illness.
After a very careful enquiry, the committee further certify, That they know of but twelve persons who are any ways affected with the disease, four of whom have had the disease severely, and are recovering fast—four or five of the others have the disease lightly, and but one of them is at present considered
dangerous.—That the sick are still principally in the New-Township, two in Fleet-street, one in a cross street of the fourth square, and none on the wharf.—That the disease has evidently within 10 days past assumed a milder aspect, and that where a Physician has been called on the first appearance of the disease, they have of late been very successful.
ENEAS MUNSON, SIMEON BALDWIN, DYER WHITE.
NEW-BRUNSWICK, Sept. 11.
Last evening arrived here a detachment of about one hundred horse, from Essex county, under the command of Captain Ward, on their way to Trenton. Their appearance was truly martial, and uniform elegant.—They are to make a short stay here; either to-day or to-morrow they proceed to the rendezvous at Trenton. The infantry are to follow in a few days. We are told Captain Marsh, of Albany, comes on to-morrow.

O D E,
To the Youths who have gallantly offered their Services as Volunteers, in defence of the Government.
NOW when the clang of hostile arms The fearful Coward's breath alarms,
And strikes with terror and dismay; How different far your feelings are, Ye gallant youths—fair freedom's care! Who haste to meet the glorious day.
When foul rebellion rears her head, Her smoky tresses hissing round her brows, And smiling peace has trembling fled, And wars and discord from their slumber rouze;
Brave guardians of your suffering country's rights, Ye snatch your arms and hope th' approaching fight!
Though wounded nature drops the pitying tear, When hostile Brothers point the murderous spear;
Though strong affection's pow'r incites to spare, Your stronger country's love forbids to feel.
Let Rome her fair-fam'd Brutus boast no more, By whom great Cæsar fell in freedom's cause;
Nor Greece Timoleon bathed in Brother's gore, So great his rev'rence for his country's laws.
Since fair Columbia may command An equal share of ever-living fame; And proudly shew her gallant band, A more than rival to the Roman name. A.
A Machine for washing of Wheat, lately invented for Mills.
IT consists of a box twelve feet long, eighteen inches wide, and six feet high—playing on the centre upon an axle, for easily delivering the contents to a drying floor.
Being filled with wheat and water, the whole is set in motion by a rake with a long handle, and teeth about fourteen inches long.
An half door at one end delivers the foul and swimming wheat, &c. and a whole door, at the other end, delivers the cleaned grain.
One thousand bushels may be washed in a day.
A drying floor may be made of laths, well plained, and nailed so close as to permit a passage for air from below, and yet not sufficiently wide to lose the wheat.
We are informed that while the Hon. Judges McKean and Yeates were at Carlisle, on their return from their late mission, they received information on oath of the seditious and treasonable speeches of certain persons who were the principal agents in effecting the late meeting in Cumberland County, the Resolves of which have been lately published—four of these persons were brought before the Judges, and compelled to enter into recognizances for their appearance at the next Court to be held in that county.

At any place or places from the mouth of the river Cumberland to Nashville, on the said river, and at Nashville.  30. And At any place or places within thirty miles of said Nashville to the South- ward, Westward or Northward thereof. 
Should any ration be required at any place or within any other district, not specified in these proposals, the price of the same is to be hereafter agreed on between the United States and the contractor.
The rations to be supplied are to consist of the following articles, viz:
 One pound of bread or flour,  One pound of beef, or 3/4 of a pound of pork,  One quart of salt,  Two quarts of vinegar,  Two pounds of soap,  One pound of candles, 
per 100 rations.
The rations are to be furnished in such quantities, as that there shall at all times, during the said term, be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at each of the said posts, for the term of at least three months in advance, in good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required. It is to be understood in each case, that all losses sustained by the deprecations of the enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the prices of the articles captured or destroyed, on the dispositions of two or more persons of creditable characters, and the certificate or a commissioned officer, ascertaining the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed.
The contract for the above supplies will be made either for one year, or for two years, as may appear eligible. Persons disposed to contract will therefore confine
their offers to one year, as they may form their propositions so as to admit an election of the term of two years.
The offers may comprise all the places which have been specified, or a part of them only.
It is also Desired,
that proposals may be offered for supplying at the two posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh all the rations necessary for the main Army, its detachments and the Gar- risons above mentioned during the said year 1795. The provisions &c. which will be received at Pittsburgh will be those which shall be necessary for the troops at that place and at the posts north, north-west and in the vicinity, on the west thereof. The provisions which will be received at Fort Washington will be those which shall be required for the remainder of the posts, for the principal detachments and for the main Army. The expense and trouble of safe keeping, unpacking and issuing the provisions deliverable under this second form of the proposition, will be saved to the Contractors. The exact proportion of the whole supplies, which will be required at each of the two Posts of Fort Wash- ington and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract. Aug. 21 tawtf

JUST PUBLISHED,
And for sale at Mather Carey's Store, No 118, Market Street, Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr Margarot, The TRIAL OF
Maurice Margarot,
Before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
"OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- rusal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- ter views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontestibly, that judi- cial prosecutions (or persecutions) and de- cisions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constit- ution. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."

Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately disco- vered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabe- tical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more foliant tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately is- sued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dol- lars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the late. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. WILLIAM PATTERSON, President, of the Bank of Maryland. Bmo, April 8, 1794.

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.
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 counterfeit 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 due twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the e being less than the m, and o- thers following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature J Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to convic- tion the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
