Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river, and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on easy and moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, navigable to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well watered meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one mile square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy.
Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9. Letters directed to George Eddy, at Philadelphia, or to this place, or to Thomas Eddy, at New York, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgm

Christiana Mills For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia: will be sold by public vendue, two tracts or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved land, on it is a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Patterson's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia—This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other attendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none. The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills. The terms upon which the above mentioned estates will be sold are—one thousand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionably for each part. Indispitable titles will be made for the property, by

JUST PUBLISHED. (Price two Dollars.) By MATHEW CAREY,
No. 118, Market Street, AN IMPARTIAL HISTORY
OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION,
From its Commencement to the execution of the QUEEN and the DEPUTIES of the Gironde Party
Extract from the Preface
"The authors have presumed to affix to their title, the epithet impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party but to that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly presented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colours. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered or disgraced.
"In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall have dissipated the clouds of political deception, and appeased the tumult of the passions, they will with some confidence expect the verdict from public opinion, on which and moderation depend the doom to receive."
Extract from the Critical Review, June 1794 12 Page.
"We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusals of those volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in Events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind." M. CAREY will in about three weeks Publish, Plowden's history of the British Empire, from May 1792, to December 1793. 19eodg.

By the ship Active, Captain Blair, from Patras, London papers to the 26th of June, were received, from which the following ARTICLES are taken
OSTEND, June 22.
EVER since the late advances of consequence the Venetian Republic had the Carmagnoles we have been unceasingly in more or less alarm: for their piquets and their cavalry have been on the north side of Thourout.
On Thursday night fear was at its height. Three dispatches in the night, at different times, came to our excellent Commandant, Col. Stuart. In the morning a circular notice was sent to the leading people, merchants, &c. substantially thus: That they had better remove what valuable property they might not directly want; for though there was no immediate certainty of an attack, it was not easy to assure the utter absence of all danger, as the French had advanced a little.
In consequence of this alarm, much property and many people did remove. Perhaps one third part of the town, even the Inns, particularly kept by the British as Bankers, &c. stripped their rooms, and literally sent off their furniture. The removals were to Flushing; of above sixty vessels that were in the port two days ago, there did not remain ten.
To-day, between four & five o'clock, as soon as the tide would let them, the Transports entered with their convoy, all safe, making, with a Dutch ship or two which had joined them, thirty nine sail. The reinforcements they bring were very timely.
The inundation failed, the tide rising less than was imagined—less by three feet. A small spot is under water, but not where it is, or rather would have been wanted. A new opening has been made to try if inundation can be practicable there, viz. about half a mile from the town, on the S. S. E. side. On the side towards Bruges and towards Ypres.
At high water, at least in spring tides (which are coming on), the water here rises to 30 inches, if not three feet, above the level of land.
Last night, a Frenchman, supposed to be a spy, was taken up, and after a long examination, sent to prison.
At Ghent every thing is at present quiet; but there is a leaven of discontent and democracy working in the inhabitants so strongly, that the army at Bruges is hardly a security for their future good behavior.
At Brussels all is well, though the out posts and advanced parties of the enemy have once been within seven or eight leagues; and firing, as the say, has been heard. If not checked upon the Sambre, their next visit will probably be nearer still.
FRANKFORT, June 14.
By letters from Italy we learn that General Count de St. Amour, who surrendered Saorgio to the French, has been condemned to lose his head; but that his Sardinian majesty had changed the sentence into that of imprisonment for life.
A Capuchin, it is said, has also been taken up at Naples, who had a design against the King: a number of weapons were found upon him.
LEMBERG, June 3.
The Poles have many reasons for complaint against the conduct of the Russians. The latter have set fire to a large tract of country, of three miles extent; namely, from Wimlar to Nowimiaslo—15,000 measures of wheat, besides other corn, together with 150 boats on the Vistula, have fallen a prey to the flames.
BRUSSELS, June 23.
All is consternation here, and most people are packing off. The late battles we have had in Flanders on the river Sambre are most dreadful—no time to rest—every day and night the French are attacking us; our troops are exhausted—the fight of the wounded which have passed under my window these few days past is most distressing. We imagine that Ypres has capitulated, in this town there are 100 pieces of cannon, and from 6000 to 7000 men. All the French are going off in great haste.
MENTZ, June 14.
The garrison of this city is to be augmented to 4000 men. Our armed burghers still do duty every where in this city, and are regularly taught the manœuvres.
ROME, May 30.
The Holy Father has issued orders for public prayers for three days, to implore the assistance of Heaven in the present conjuncture of Europe. A Jubilee will also be published directly. A courier from Venice has brought us intelligence, that some Algerine corsairs and some French privateers have entered the Adriatic sea, and that in consequence the Venetian Republic had ordered the squadron of Curfu to sail forth in quest of them.
LEGHORN, June 4.
An edict has been published for all strangers to quit this place. Government has been forced to this measure in consequence of the arrival of above 200 Corsicans with French cockades.
PARIS, June 18.
The Committee of Public Safety, taking into consideration that the suspicious persons confined in the different prisons, have had the means of a luxury which had tended to counter-revolutionary plots, by having it in their power to receive, at all times, large sums of money in specie and assignats, has ordered them to be deprived of all their money, jewels, and trinkets. In consequence this measure has produced the sum of 733,487 livres; and it is expected, that the result will amount to 1,200,000 livres, independently of the jewels and trinkets. With respect to the nourishment of the prisoners, the Administration of the Police had fixed the sum of three livres per diem, without regard to rank or distinction.
The Commune of Sens has caused the remains of the Dauphin and Dauphine, father and mother of the late Louis XVI. to be taken from the tomb in which they were enclosed, has burnt their superb mausoleum, and converted the leaden coffins into musket-balls.
LONDON, June 13.
Mr. Jay, the Minister Extraordinary from the United States, has arrived, to demand satisfaction for the American vessels taken, and there is no doubt that the business will be amicably adjusted.
June 14.
Last night a Naval Officer arrived at the Admiralty Office with the agreeable intelligence that yesterday morning Earl Howe, with his Fleet and prizes, arrived safe at Portsmouth. The gallant Admiral is expected in town this day.
June 16.
By Admiral Montague, government has received certain intelligence that the French American fleet, amounting to 160 sail, are arrived at Port l'Orient, and therefore the great object for which they hazarded the action of the 1st of June, is completely accomplished.
The convoy had four ships of war, and they were joined on the 3d instant by twelve more ships, so that Admiral Montague was unable to touch them.
June 20.
The Committee of American Merchants had an interview with Mr. Pitt on Saturday last, to know whether they might with confidence prepare their goods for the American markets, as usual, or whether, under the existing circumstances, the alarm of a rupture was sufficiently grounded to make them hesitate in executing the orders they had received. Mr. Pitt declined giving them any advice as to executing their orders: He said, he was happy in being able to assure them, that the Governments of the two Countries were disposed to preserve a good understanding; but it could not be concealed, that Jacobin doctrines had made their way in America to such an extent as to make it doubtful what would be the issue of the differences now to be settled. He trusted, however, that they would be guided by moderation and wisdom in the propositions they had to make to this country, and the gentleman whom they had deputed, on the occasion, would find his Majesty's ministers earnestly disposed to preserve the peace which so happily subsisted between the two countries.
June 25.
No official accounts have yet been received of the fall of Ypres; The fact however is generally credited. Indeed the place had been given up as lost, from the time that it was known that both General Clairfayt and the Duke of York had failed in their attempts to relieve it. The only thing surprising, supposing the event to have taken place on Thursday or Friday last, as some of the letters from Ostend have stated, is that the French did not put the truth of the intelligence beyond the possibility of doubt, by immediately visiting Ostend.
Mr. Elliot arrived on Monday night from the Hague, and brings, we understand very important information of the state of affairs in Prussia, so important that Mr. Elliot thought proper to bring it himself to England. Yesterday a Messenger arrived at the
Secretary of State's Office, Whitehall, with dispatches, said to be of great importance, from F. J. Jackson, Esq. his Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Madrid.
The American man of war is the French prize which was most mauled in the late naval action. One of her quarters are completely staved in: Her stern is beaten to shatters. There is one double headed shot still sticking in her sides which killed nine men. It was when she was raked by one of our men of war.
The following information was yesterday put up at Lloyd's Coffee House; Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope, April 14.
"By the vessel which carries this we learn that, the French have been driven out of the Straits of Sunda by our armed Indians; that two of their ships have been taken, after an engagement of forty minutes. Their names are La Resolue and Le Vengeur."
The Popular toast now given by all the Chaplains in the British fleet, is the two first words of the third psalm.
Duke of York's Army.
Camp at Tourney, June 14.
We have just received intelligence that General Clairfayt yesterday attacked the French with his whole force, with a view to relieve Ypres. He at first succeeded in driving in the outside posts, and took ten pieces of cannon; but the enemy's numbers were so superior, that he found it impossible to raise the siege, and was at last obliged to retreat with some loss.
This evening we had half a dozen of horse races in front of the British encampment, different officers riding their own horses. The Duke of York and Prince William of Gloucester were present, with near 200 officers of all ranks.
Sunday, June 15.
This day we are informed that Gen. Clairfayt again attacked the French yesterday, but with as little success as on Friday; and that he has in consequence given up all hopes of being able to relieve Ypres. In these two attacks are lost more than two thousand men.
Here all has been quiet to-day, excepting a little of the attack on our out posts, which is hardly ever noticed by the army.
This evening we had horse-racing again in great perfection, attended by 3 or 400 officers mounted, and betting in high style. Even the private soldiers, who thronged round the course, had their pints of gin depending on the different heats.
Monday, June 16.
This morning, the remains of Major Cochrane, of the 14th regiment, were interred in front of the colours of his regiment with military honors. He received a wound in the action of the 22d ult.
June 26.
We stopped the press to say, that a gentleman in town has received a letter from the Commander of Ostend, dated Monday last, stating, that at this time the French were within seven miles of this place.
Dispatches have likewise been received from the Duke of York, but the contents have not yet transpired. It is however reported, that our army has been obliged to fall back.
Yesterday government dispatches were received at the Secretary of State's Office, from Mr. Hammond, his Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America.
Yesterday letters were received at Mr. Dundas's office, from Cork, which mention, that two English frigates had fallen in with a French ship of the line, carrying 74 guns, which the fleet under the command of Lord Howe had crippled on the 1st instant. The two English frigates carried her into that port.
Government have given order for the sum of sixty thousand pounds to be immediately issued, for the payment of a part of the prize money, to which the sailors in the late naval engagement became thereby entitled.
Nine gold medals, with chains, were sent off to Portsmouth on Tuesday night: which are intended as a mark of honor from his Majesty, to nine Captains of Lord Howe's fleet. They will be presented to them on the King's arrival at Portsmouth.
We have the pleasure to inform our readers, that all differences between this country and America are now in a fair way of being amicably adjusted.
An official letter was yesterday sent to a gentleman in the city, belonging to the committee of American Merchants, stating, that all communication with America, both of a private and commercial nature, might be again renewed, without the least restraint—"matters being so far settled with Mr. Jay, as to insure a final, and, it is hoped, a permanent adjustment of every misunderstanding that has taken place between the two countries."
This information has afforded no inconsiderable pleasure to the commercial
world: but particularly to those gentlemen who compose the Committee of Merchants.
Out of fifteen hundred prisoners at Portsmouth, when a proposal was made that such should be released, as would serve on board the British fleet, only four accepted the offer.
On the 6th instant, a great number of persons were condemned to the guillotine at Paris, among whom there was ed possession of it.
Murdoch, a Scotchman, valet de chambre of Montmorin, and William Newton, an Englishman, Colonel of the civevant dragons of Liberty.
The fleet of Danes and Swedes, which take our left wing in the flank, have been stopped by his Majesty's left cruisers, still remain at anchor in the successful, and took two pieces of cannon. The combat lasted six hours, when the enemy retreated to their former position. The battalions of Calvados, Mayenne and Loire, behaved with the greatest courage, and dismounted a battery which very much galled our center.
By an American gentleman just arrived from Dunkirk, we are enabled to lay before the public, the following interesting particulars:—Twenty thousand men are daily employed in the cleansing this harbour for the reception of large vessels: during last week two frigates were launched, and many others now on the stocks, are nearly compleated.
The exertions in the dock yards are incredible, and on the part of the inhabitants every thing is done to advance the Republic.—Provisions are now in that town in the greatest abundance: They feel the loss of nothing but sugar and spice. The number of vessels which arrive at this port from Denmark, Sweden, and Peterburgh, freighted with corn, is incredible.
From the LONDON GAZETTE, of June 22.
Whitehall, June 20. A letter, of which the following is a copy, was this morning received from his royal highness the duke of York, by the right honorable Henry Dundas, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, for the home department.
Tourney, June 17.
SIR, It is with the greatest satisfaction that I have to inform you, than an officer is arrived this evening from the Hereditary prince of Orange, with the account that he yesterday attacked and defeated the French army, which had again passed the Sambre, and taken up a position near Josselles, in order to cover the siege of Charleroi, before which they had already begun to open trenches. The enemy's loss is computed at above 7000 men, as well as twenty-two pieces of cannon, thirty-five ammunition waggons, and a considerable number of horses and baggage. They retreated in the greatest confusion across the Sambre.
I am, &c. FREDERICK. Right Hon. Henry Dundas &c.
PARIS May 25. THE ARMIES OF THE REPUBLIC
Barrere mounted the Tribune, and read the following report from the committee of public safety.
"The Armies of the Republic continue to be successful on the Sambre and Mozelle. The army of the North passed the Sambre. The army of the Ardennes has seized Binche, and is advancing against Mons. The army of the Mozelle has penetrated beyond the post of Arlon.
"In the mean time, the armies of the Eastern Pyrenees, and of Italy, persevered in the execution of those orders of the law: they alone directed the which were given them, to procure arms and poignards that were lifted against the for the republic. The army of Italy has obtained possession of the Col de Tende. The most celebrated foundry of Spain is fallen into our hands, and with it a vast quantity of arms and ammunition. "The intelligence which I am about to read to you, and which will be inserted in the Bulletin, will animate the soldiers of the other armies, and afford us well-grounded hopes that the campaign will be at an end before that epoch which nature has fixed for its termination."
The deputies St. Jant and Lebas have sent us the following letter, dated the 3d Prairial (22 May.)
"We transmit you the reports received from the different generals on their respective expeditions, together with an account of the junction of the army of the Ardennes with the army of the North.
"The general of a division of the army of the North has passed the Sambre, and seized the town of Binche.—This expedition succeeded beyond our expectations. A column advanced afterwards to the woods of Bonne Esper-
ance, and another to the Monte de St. Genevieve.—After a contest of half an hour, the enemy abandoned all their posts.
"On the succeeding day, at five o'clock in the morning, general Fromentin and Macquiere pushed forward to a post occupied by the enemy. After an obstinate action, they were forced to retreat, and the Republican troops gained possession of it.
"As our possession was very difficult to the enemy, they resolved to attack us.—A numerous body of cavalry made an attempt to turn a village, and our left wing in the flank, but our attempt unsuccessful, and took two pieces of cannon. The combat lasted six hours, when the enemy retreated to their former position. The battalions of Calvados, Mayenne and Loire, behaved with the greatest courage, and dismounted a battery which very much galled our center.
"The Republicans have proved that nothing can restrain their impetuosity, when it is necessary to defend and to secure the possession of advantageous positions. The enemy did not expect that we should attack them so early.—Our loss has been trifling, and every thing presages the most complete success.
The Committee of general Safety has also received a letter from general Charbonnier, dated Thuin, the 3d Prairial, (May 22.)
This commander in chief of the army of Ardennes, informs us, that he has crossed the Sambre; that his right wing is at Fontaine l'Eveque and his left at Binche. He promises us, that he shall soon be able to communicate to us the most satisfactory intelligence.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. June 13.
Elias Lacoste brought up a report, in the names of the committees of general security and public safety, relative to a conspiracy which had existed until now against public liberty, and which had for its object, to re-establish monarchy on the ruins of freedom.
Batz, he said, was at the head of the foreign faction, which directed this conspiracy: Rohan, Rochefort, the prince St. Maurice, &c. &c. were his accomplices. Comte passed to and fro between Turin and Paris, and conducted the correspondence of the emigrants.
The conspirators were accustomed to assemble in a pleasure-house at Charonne: they had apartments at Paris, and agents who bought up the money and assignats with the royal impression on them; corrupted the municipal officers & commissioners; delivered them passports and certificates of residence, under color of which the emigrants were enabled to re-enter France, and take possession of their property.
Their first plan was to deliver Marie Antoinette (the late queen) from the temple; they carried on a correspondence with her, and were connected with Danton, Chabot, Fabre D'Eglantine, and Julien da Toulouse, who had entered into the plot.
They kept up a correspondence with the prisoners confined in the various houses of arrest, whom they were about to enable to escape, at the time when Hebert and Danton were punished. They introduced false assignats, and had considerable sums at their disposal. On these projects proving abortive, they had recourse to assassination: Ronsell was connected with Ameral, and several others. "You will undoubtedly deliver up, (continued the Orator) all these ruffians to the sword of the law: they alone directed the poignards that were lifted against the representatives of the people: they are at once the authors and the agents of the foreign faction. If Batz has escaped by flight, his accomplices, at least, will experience the punishment due to their crimes. Those monsters were not at all disconcerted at having failed in their first attempt—Collot D'Herbois and Robespierre were to have been assassinated a second time." (A shout of horror.)
Lacoste then read a declaration, proving this last assertion. It appeared from it, that a person of the name of Cardinal, who at his house boarded assassins from different foreign countries, had exclaimed, "that if he could have found a man as resolute as himself, the deed would have been perpetrated long since, and the French were cowards to permit Robespierre to tyrannize over them." Cardinal, he added, had been arrested. (Loud plaudits.)
The National Convention immediately decreed:
Article I. That the Revolutionary Tribunal shall immediately try Ameral and the young woman Renand, assassins

of the Representatives of the people; endeavours to terminate my earthly career, and to the triumph of Equality and the performance of actions useful to my signal of Liberty, and to afford an example of all virtues. Complete, Citizens, complete your sublime Purpose! you have placed us as the advanced guard to sustain the first attack of the enemies of human nature. We will render ourselves worthy of honor—We will mark with our blood the road that shall lead you to immortality; may you always employ that unalterable energy which is so necessary to struggle against the monsters of the universe, and may you at least enjoy in peace the blessings of your virtues!
The fate of the Republic is not entirely fixed, and the vigilance of the National Representatives is more than ever necessary. What constitutes a Republic? Not victory, not riches, not power, not temporary enthusiasm. It is the will of the laws, and above all, it is public virtue: It is purity and the stability of the maxims of Government. Laws are to act, maxims of Government to direct, morals to regenerate. If one of these necessary parts fail, here can only be error, pride, passions, actions, ambition and avarice.
The Republic, in that case, so far from repressing vice would give it a wider range and a higher flight, and has the reign of Tyranny would again commence; for vice and Tyranny are inseparable companions. Whoever is master of himself, is made to be the slave of others. Do you wish to know who are ambitious men? Look at those who are the patrons of villains; the protectors of counter-revolutionists, the protectors of intrigues and conspiracies, the scorners of virtue, and the corrupters of the public morals. Attempts were made to involve the Republic in confusion and chaos. It was therefore necessary to render these attempts ineffectual, and to create in the world a moral and political harmony. The people of France have two guarantees of the possibility of executing this heroic enterprise: The principles of representation and their own virtues. It is easy to consolidate Liberty—it is easy to destroy it. If France were for a few months only to be governed by a corrupt legislature, liberty would be annihilated. Your unanimity and your energy have astonished and convinced all Europe: and if you were as confident on this subject as your enemies are, your triumph would be easy and complete.
I have spoken of virtues of the people, but these virtues, resplendent through the whole course of the Revolution, will not be sufficient of themselves to defend us from factions. Why? Because there are two people in France. The one is the mighty mass of pure and virtuous citizens, supporters of justice, of Liberty: the other, the horde of factious and intriguing men; a prating, babbling race, juggling, and imposing, who are seen every where, who abuse every thing, who occupy the Tribunes, and often are public functionaries; a people of cheats, foreigners, hypocritical counter-revolutionists, who take their station between the French people and their Representatives, for the purpose of deluding the former and of calumniating the latter, and for the purpose of checking all operations. As long as this impure race exists, the situation of the Republic will be disastrous and precarious. It is therefore for you, Members of the National Convention, to deliver it by an imposing energy, and by an unalterable unanimity. Those who seek to divide us, who check the career of Government, who calumniate us, who endeavour to form a dangerous coalition, those are Wight with a large body of troops to your enemies, and the enemies of the Republic. They are the agents of the foreign Powers the successors of the Brissots, the Herberts, and the Dantons. Perhaps, in disclosing these truths, I sharpen the poignard of the assassin; it is for that purpose that I do so. Persevere in your principles, and go on in your triumphal career. You will then overwhelm vice, and serve your country: I have lived long enough. I have lived long enough, for I have seen the people of France rise from the depth of degradation, and from the bosom of Slavery, to the pinnacle of glory and republican virtues. I have lived long enough, for I have seen a more astonishing prodigy than this, a prodigy, which Monarchical corruption, and the inexperience of the infancy of our revolution, scarcely permitted us to consider as possible. I have seen an assembly invested with the power of the French Nation, marching with a rapid and firm step to the goal of public happiness, devoted to the cause of the people, and to the triumph of Equality and the performance of actions useful to my signal of Liberty, and to afford an example of all virtues.
“IT will be a sublime subject of contemplation for posterity—It is now a spectacle worthy of heaven and earth to behold the Representatives of the French people, stationed on the almost inexhaustible volcano of conspiracies, placing with one hand at the feet of the Great Eternal the homage of a mighty people, and with the other, launching the thunder-bolt against the tyrants combined against them—laying the foundation of the first Republic in the world, and recalling from exile, liberty, justice, and virtue. Is it necessary for me to recal to your attention the torrent of crimes which has flowed from the powers in league against us? Is it necessary to go over again the calamitous catalogue of plots which they have fostered and cemented? Is it necessary again to dig out the case of this assembly with the dark detail of their filthy intrigues and foul manoeuvres? No—such a narrative can neither be grateful nor necessary. The National Convention of France, the people of France—yes—thirty millions of men, whom God has created after his own image—thirty millions of men declare, the combined powers to be guilty of all the miseries which France has endured for five years. They declare solemnly, that those powers have directed the tempests that have wasted this land; that they have created all those convulsions which have agitated the bosom of the Republic; that they have twisted and torn asunder all the fibres of society and relationship; that they have spirited up the parent against his child—the brother against his brother, and the wife against her husband. But let us rejoice—let us return thanks to God that we have served our country so well as to be deemed worthy of the poignard of tyranny. The glory of incurring dangers belongs also to us. Our abode in the capital, subjects us to the same perils as a station on the field of battle. We have now no cause to envy our brave brethren in arms. We pay in more than one way the debt we owe to the country. What men on the earth ever defended without difficulty and danger the rights of humanity? Some months are now elapsed since I made use of the following words to my colleagues of the committee of public safety: If the arms of the Republic be victorious—if we tear the veil from the faces of traitors—if we overwhelm faction, the combined powers will procure our assassination. I was not therefore surprised to see my prophecy realized. Surrounded by their assassins, I have already imagined myself to be in that new order of things to which they would lend me. I am attached to life only because life enables me to do good to my country, and to support the cause of justice: an increased and increasing energy swells my veins at this moment; and I feel redoubled desire to attack the traitors who conspire against my country—against human nature and against God himself. The greater their
bravery by Sea—there can be no doubt that the battle was as close and severe as ever was fought between two fleets, and tho’ the French lost some of their Ships, yet the probability is that by their hard fighting they have not only suspended any further operations for the Summer on the part of Lord Howe, but have also saved the Chesapeake from falling into the hands of the French. It was fortunate for the interest of that Island by the celebrated traveller and author Dr. Moore, a very honest and able man.
NEW-YORK, August 14. Yesterday arrived in this City His Excellency Governor Mifflin from Philadelphia. It is said the present governor of Bermuda is to be superadded in the government of that Island by the celebrated traveller and author Dr. Moore, a very honest and able man.
PHILADELPHIA. No newspapers having been received from Pittsburgh by the last mail, it is presumed that the press there is stopped, or that the communication is cut off—the last intelligence states that Gen. Gibson and others are banished from that place, and that a body of men were attending to the execution of the decrees of the Insurgents.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at Mathew Carey's Store, No. 118, Market Street. Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr. Margaret, The TRIAL OF Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIOUS PRACTICES. OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of criminal jurisprudence in Great Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal peculiar and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the latent views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontrovertibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashioned attachment to the laws or the constitution. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of his devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called, who in the course of one of the longest trials we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional knowledge; 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 government. August 16.
Complete, Citizens, complete your sublime Purpose! you have placed us as the advanced guard to sustain the first attack of the enemies of human nature. We will render ourselves worthy of honor—We will mark with our blood the road that shall lead you to immortality; may you always employ that unalterable energy which is so necessary to struggle against the monsters of the universe, and may you at least enjoy in peace the blessings of your virtues! A Deputation of the 13 Sections of Versailles expressed the deep indignation which they felt at the prospect for assassinating Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois. They applauded the spirited conduct of Geoffri, who had secured the assassin Ameral, and they presented seven citizens completely equipped, and animated with the most ardent desire to serve in the armies of the republic. Other deputations, with congratulations on the discovery of the project against Robespierre and D'Herbois, appeared at the bar.
GHENT, May 30. Mr. Mongaillard, mentioned in your paper of last Monday, was employed by Robespierre, in business of great importance. He arrived here a few days since. His appearance is genteel, and his address pleasing. According to his assertion he effected his escape from France under favor of a passport he obtained for a secret commission on the frontiers; and reached the Austrian Netherlands by the way of Ypres. He told me, the Secret Committee was most afraid of the new troubles in La Vendee. He left this place the day before yesterday for Tourney, to see the Emperor and Duke of York. The commandant British officer had orders to grant him an escort in case he should desire it; but he did not make any application for that purpose. Though the whole tenor of my conversation with M. Mongaillard, afforded me in many respects a great deal of information and pleasure, yet I could not forget, that he was once the friend of Robespierre; and, I hope the great personages he is about to approach, will recollect it too.
PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 16. Letters from a respectable source in London mention, That Mr. Jay arrived at Falmouth on the 8th of June and in London on the 15th; and had an interview with Lord Grenville on the 18th; but it cannot be supposed, that any development of great importance could have taken place, when the Active, Capt. Blair failed. Mr. Jay was received with politeness and attention.
A letter from London dated June 23, received by the Active, states that Mr. Jay was then in London and in good health—that appearances respecting the object of his mission were flattering, but that it would be prudent not to be too sanguine in our expectations, as it was impossible to calculate for the effects of future events. That the campaign on the Continent had been chequered—at that time the balance was pretty equally suspended with respect to the operations in West Flanders—but as it was then supposed that Ypres could not hold out more than five days, the French in that event would be able to over-run the whole country—General Clairfait had made several unsuccessful attempts to raise the siege, and had suffered greatly—Lord Moira had failed from the Isle of Wight with a large body of troops to reinforce Ostend—On the frontiers to the north, the allies had gained some considerable advantages over the French Frontiers the French arms were triumphant—This letter says nothing of Turenne—In France some inconvenience had been sustained on account of a scarcity of bread, though no positive sufferings had taken place, but the harvests were coming on and appeared favorable—Meantime the crop of potatoes which was immensely great, afforded a substitute—this vegetable had been cultivated with great industry, all the ci-devant royal grounds being planted with them. The French and English fleets were preparing for sea—the late battle was the most severe that had been known in the naval annals of Great Britain.
From the official and other details referring to the late naval engagement between Lord Howe's and the French fleet, it appears that the English have had a sample of French Republican
that the battle was as close and severe as ever was fought between two fleets, and tho’ the French lost some of their Ships, yet the probability is that by their hard fighting they have not only suspended any further operations for the Summer on the part of Lord Howe, but have also saved the Chesapeake from falling into the hands of the French. It was fortunate for the interest of that Island by the celebrated traveller and author Dr. Moore, a very honest and able man. The facility with which the French can man their ships, gives them a very great advantage over their neighbours. The recent instances of dispatch in their dock-yards almost exceed belief, but are related by eye witnesses.—Lord Hood will either remain in the Mediterranean, or return home to recruit and repair his Ships.—Lord Howe was to return with all his fleet, these will require a supply of men, and repairs that will take time to complete—Meantime according to accounts published, the French have eighteen sail of the line ready for sea—Whereas exclusive of Lord Howe's 20 sail, it appears that the English have only thirteen sail fully manned.—Viz. Hector, Arrogant, Bellona, Ganges, Theseus, all 74's, under Admiral Montague—Swiftsure, Monarch, Minotaur, Saturn, Excellent and Colossus, 74's—America and Ruby, 64's—under Admiral McBride, and others, in port or cruising, on the European coast.
In an English Gazette extraordinary of June 14, the loss of the English, in the grand naval combat is stated at 203 seamen killed, 32 marines killed; 578 seamen and 52 marines wounded, in all 204. The loss of the French on board the vessels captured, is made to amount to 690 killed and 580 wounded. The Jacobin is the name of the ship sunk in the engagement.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ma- ryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Caro- lina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murr- ray's map.

Also, sundry unimproved lots of various sizes, in different parts of the town of Al- exandria. To describe the premises more particu- larly is deemed unnecessary, as it is expect- ed every person will examine and view whatever part he shall be inclined to buy. My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling so many or such parts of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the first day of August next, and at the time of delivering possession or exe- cuting a legal conveyance. The lands re- maining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and leased for a term of years. From the 12th day of Oc- tober next, till the 15th of December, I shall be in the city of Richmond, and after that time I shall remain at home, in Alex- andria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particulars, and to enter into contracts.

The following section of the law for establishing an Health-Office, &c. passed the last session of the Legislature, is re-published for the information of all concerned. WM. ALLEN, Health-Officer, for the port of Philadelphia, No. 21, Key's alley. June 2, 1794. Sec. 7. AND be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every master or captain of any ship or vessel coming from be- yond the sea (vessels actually employed in the coasting trade of the United States excepted) and bound to any port or place within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, shall cause his ship or vessel to be brought to anchor, or otherwise stayed in the stream of the river Delaware, opposite to the health-office on State-Island aforesaid, and there to remain until he shall have duly obtained a certifi- cate or bill of health from the resident physician, in the manner following:—That if, previously to obtain- ing such certificate or bill of health, any master or captain shall suffer his ship or ves- sel to approach nearer than the said health-office to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, or cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any port or place within this com- monwealth, or at any other port or place, with the intent to be conveyed into this com- monwealth, any person or persons, or an- goods, wares or merchandise; or if after receiving such certificate or bill of health, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the health-officer agreeably to the direction of this act, such master or captain shall for- feit and pay, for each and every such offence, the sum of five hundred dollars to be recover- ed and appropriated as hereinafter provided and directed, and the captain or master or each and every ship or vessel, as soon as the same is brought to anchor, or otherwise stayed as aforesaid, shall load a safe and commodious boat to bring the resident physician on board of his ship or vessel, and shall in like man- ner convey him back to the health-office after he has concluded his official examina- tion; and while he is making such examina- tion, or in case of any subsequent examination by the health-officer and consulting physician, as the case may be, each and every part of the ship or vessel, and shall present to his view each and every person on board thereof, and shall also true and satisfactory answers make to all such questions as the resident physician at the time of examination, or the health officer at the time of delivering the certificate, or bill of health, in the city of Philadelphia, or at the time of examination to be had by the health-officer together, with the consulting physician shall ask relative to the health of an- y port or place from which the ship or vessel failed, or has since touched at, the number of persons on board when the ship or vessel en- tered on her voyage, the number of persons that have since been landed or taken on board, and when or where respectively, who persons on board, if any have been during the voyage, or shall at any time of examination, be infected with any pestilential or contagi- ous disease, what person belonging to the ship or vessel, if any died during the voyage, and of what disease, and what is the present state and condition of the persons on board with respect to their health and diseases; and if any captain or master of any ship or vessel shall refuse to expose the same as aforesaid to the search and examination of the residen- t physician, or of the health-officer and consul- ting physician, as the case may be; or if, hav- ing on board his ship or vessel any such per- son or persons, he shall conceal the same, or in any manner whatsoever shall knowingly deceive or attempt to deceive the prop- er officers aforesaid in his answers to their offi- cial enquiries, such captain or master, for each and every such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars, to be re- covered and appropriated as hereinafter pro- vided and directed; and wherever the resi- dent physician, or consulting physician, a- foresaid, shall direct any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise to be landed at the health-office, or any ship or vessel to be detained opposite thereto, and there to be smoked, cleaned and purg- ed, the captain of the ship or vessel shall in all respects conform to such directions, shall at the proper cost and charge of his em- ployers carry the same into effect within such reasonable time as the resident physician, or consulting physician, as the case may be, shall allow and prescribe; and if any master or captain shall refuse or neglect to conform to these said directions, and to carry the same into effect as aforesaid, according to the re- spective objects thereof, he shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars for each and every offence, to be recovered and appro- priated as is hereinafter provided and direct- ed.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the fol- lowing
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are nar- rower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in them particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1794—Whereas the Bank was not in opera- tion till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly simi- lar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in num- ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the O 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 cut 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 T and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the ap- pearance 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 manufac- tured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have ap- peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Re- spective Boards.
