French Revolution.
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
Extra 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, on the part of 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 so noble a cause is endangered and 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 accepted by the zealots of either party. But when time shall have dissipated the clouds of political deception, and appealed the tumult of the passions, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which and moderation will do them justice." 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 of 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, Ploven's History of the British Empire, from May 1792, to December 1793. 1 teod.

THE GLEANER. No. XXIII.
Now, by my manhood, my full soul disdains, These dark'ning glooms, which fud- denly pervade; The well wrought system, dignity ful- tains, And perseverance lends its potent aid.
THAT melancholy pause, and ex- treme dejection, which at this present to apparently pervades every order of citi- zens among us, is, methinks, rather derogatory to the American character. The question, relative to opening the temple of Janus, seems to be agitated with unbecoming warmth, and a zeal, not properly tempered by knowledge, is, I conceive, strikingly exemplified by every party.
That our country hath, during a most auspicious period, been borne for- ward upon the full tide of prosperity, no one but the embittered, the cynical, or the interested incendiary, will deny. Peace, with her olive wreath, was to us the celestial harbinger of unexampled felicity; agriculture hath flourished in primeval beauty, fostered on the bosom of liberty, and fanned by the genial airs of the meek-eyed goddess, it is ra- pidly approximating the highest per- fection of which it is susceptible. Our manufactures have surprisingly advan- ced. Our navigation is extensive; al- most every stream conveys the well- freighted bark; and our commerce, wafted by the breezy gale, hath accu- mulated riches upon the fardistant shore: It may be problematical, whether trade ought not to partake in some degree the nature of its favorite elements; and whether, under the general regulations of rectitude, it would not probably find its own advantageous, and equal balance; at any rate, unaided by treaties of com- merce, our merchants grasping the object of their wishes, have, in many instan- ces, found their enterprizes crowned with uncommon success. The arts and sciences too, are obtaining naturaliza- tion in our soil. Literature, blest source of rational elevation—literature hath enlisted its votaries: The extensive and energetic movements of the soul are afloat; the sciences and the virtues love the venerable shades, and sequestered haunts of liberty, and, cultivated suc- cessfully in this new world, we had hop- ed that they would become patrons of frugality, temperance, and that holy religion, which smootheth the bed of death. Our citizens, as it should seem, intuitively, had become sensible of that indiscriminate advantage, derived to the community in general, where each indivi- dual receives from the common fund, and where every member contributes his quota, for the benefit of the whole; in one word, every one seemed sensible of the bless- ings of a good government, and fede- ralism was the basis, on which we were successfully building the superstructure of every thing useful, every thing vir- tuous, every thing ornamental. What a fearful and destructive hydra is faction! War is its eldest born, and with the eye of the basilisk it seeketh to annihilate the cherub peace.—Dreadful is the progress of war; it is retrograde to almost every virtue; the duties of benevolence it in- verteth; it enjoimeth upon every indi- vidual to afflict, and harrahs, by every possible means. Cultivation is no more. Destruction, with shocking exultation, exerciseth in every goodly walk, its fa- tally blasting influence. Population la- ments its murdered millions, the earth is humectated by the blood of our fellow- creatures, and those infernal demons, discord and malice, are glutted by the calamities of the human species. A late elegant writer inimitably portrays the consequences of even successful war—perhaps a review of the picture may be of use.—“We must fix our eyes not on the hero returning with conquest, nor yet on the gallant officer dying in the bed of honor, the subject of pic- ture and of song, but on the private soldier, forced into the service, ex- hausted by camp sickness and fatigue; Pale, emaciated, crawling to an hos- pital with the prospect of life, per- haps a long life, blasted, useless, and suffering. We must think of the uncounted tears of her who weeps alone, because the only being who shared her sentiments is taken from her, no martial music sounds in uni- son with her feelings; the long day passes and he returns not. She does not shed her sorrows over his grave, for she has never learnt whether he ever had one. If he had returned, his exertions would not have been re- membered individually, for he only made a small imperceptible part of a great machine, called a regiment. He must take in the long sickness,
which no glory soothes, occasioned ever teach us to abet, even the most like- ly to distress of mind, anxiety, and disinterested benefactor, in deeds and ruined fortune. These are not fan- cy pictures, and if you please to height- ten them, you can every one of you aid, do it for yourselves. We take in the consequences, felt perhaps for ages, before a country which has been com- pletely desolated, lifts its head again; like a torrent of lava, its work mischief is not the first, overwhelming, ruin of towns and palaces, but the long sterility to which it condemns the track it hath covered with its stream.—Add the danger to regular governments which are changed by war, sometimes to anarchy, and sometimes to despotism. Add all these, and then let us think when a General performing these exploits, is saluted with Well done good and faithful servant, whether the plaudit is likely to be choiced in another.” But however de- ploreable the calamities of war, such is the nature of the present scene of things, that there are circumstances which fully involve the necessity of appealing to the sword.—When our dearest, essential, and most important interests are invaded, when our existence, as a nation, is put to the hazard, when negotiation fails, when we are subjected to contumelious indignities, when we are despoiled of our property, and stripped of the hopes of redress: In emergencies thus pressing, every sentiment of self-defence will throw the guantlet for the battle. That it is precisely upon these evil times we have fallen, many resentfully and ve- hemently pronounce—Well, not yet freed from the jealousies and entangle- ments of European politics, while the hemisphere of the elder world is thus dreadfully tempesting, nothing but an overweening self-partiality, could lead us to expect escaping, at least the out skirts of the hurricane. If we have been unwarrantably and unnecessarily in- jured, and if our abilities are adequate to the contention, let every American play the man for his country; let not our faces thus gather paleness, but, when properly authorized by the autho- rity which we have conferred, let us combine, hand and heart, to work out our own political salvation. If our cause is thus righteous, the God of ar- mies will again lead us forth, and doubt- less the palm of victory will be ours. But deliberation here maketh a pause: against whom shall we commence hos- tilities? So many are the wrongs which we are said to have suffered from the maritime belligerent powers, that an unprejudiced American will hesitate a moment to prefer the loudest com- plaints; and the investigations made in the general council of our nation, fe- verly poizeth the scale of depredation, by party, is at a loss to decide upon the question. But it is said that our obligations to France ought in equity to destroy the equipoize, thus furnish- ing a balance in her favour; and indeed it is to be wished, that the conduct of that nation had been such, as to have sanctioned the most unlimited election of her interests. If, when emerging from the benighted clouds of despotism; if, when exonerating herself from the intolerable oppression of unlimited au- thority, she had known where to erect the barriers; if she had not outraged every feeling of humanity, most atro- ciously committing acts, at which even the bosom of its victim agonizes at every pore, over which rectitude must pour the never failing tear, and at which for- titude hath learned to weep; if she had supported the constitution which she swore to maintain, we should doubtless have felt for her like veneration, as when the gallant and virtuous La Fayette, directing her councils, led forth her ar- mies, and, pointing her steps to vic- tory and fame, thus extorted the ming- ling and unhesitating applause of an ad- miring world. But alas! France, at this period, exhibits a spectacle, from which lacerated truth indignant halts, at which reason stands aghast, while mo- rality and holy religion, by base and murderous hands, are stabbed in the tenderest part. Perhaps the only ad- vantage which the revolutionary tribu- nal can boast over the lettre de cachet, or the justly execrated Bastille, is, that not prolonging the sufferings of its vic- tims, it hasteneth to bestow upon them, through the instrumentality of the ex- ecutioner, a speedy emancipation from its tyranny. Whole hecatombs have been immolated; every person who dif- fered in opinion from the ruling fac- tion is arrested, tried, and executed. The federalist findeth no mercy; and even an avowed wife, to qualify their boasted indivisibility, by a single feature of the American government, is esti- mated as treasonable! With regard to our obligations to France, it ought surely to be considered, whether gratitude can
ever teach us to abet, even the most like- ly to distress of mind, anxiety, and disinterested benefactor, in deeds and ruined fortune. These are not fan- cy pictures, and if you please to height- ten them, you can every one of you aid, do it for yourselves. We take in the consequences, felt perhaps for ages, before a country which has been com- pletely desolated, lifts its head again; like a torrent of lava, its work mischief is not the first, overwhelming, ruin of towns and palaces, but the long sterility to which it condemns the track it hath covered with its stream.—Add the danger to regular governments which are changed by war, sometimes to anarchy, and sometimes to despotism.

The federalist findeth no mercy; and even an avowed wife, to qualify their boasted indivisibility, by a single feature of the American government, is esti- mated as treasonable! With regard to our obligations to France, it ought surely to be considered, whether gratitude can
REVOLUTION IN POLAND.
From the Berlin Gazette of the 30th April.
As the Insurrection of Madaliniski and Kozciuszko, grows every day more serious than was thought at first, we hope a short account of the beginning of this revolution will not be unwelcome to our readers: Brigadier Madaliniski, a South Prussian by birth, had, since June 1792, not received any pay for his troops. Last February he went to Warsaw to make his complaints, and to demand the sum owing to him. He received part of it, but was told, at the same time, a great part of the Polish army should be disbanded, and he and his brigade among the rest. At this he was irritated, and the Russian General Ingelstrom offered to take him and his brigade into the Russian service; and desired him with his men to come to Warsaw. Madaliniski promised this, and returned to Miaw: but, instead of paying his men with the money he received at Warsaw, he treated the Nobility, and tried to persuade them to rise against Prussia and Russia; and told them, that himself being a South Prus- sian, it would be an easy matter for him to bring about an Insurrection in that coun- try; and said, that he was sure every one would follow his party as soon as he should make his appearance. He was going to pursue the same plan in Great Poland. He said that General Kozciuszko, who had two regiments of infantry and cavalry with him, would do the same in Cracow and Sendomir; and as Mada- liniski had rouzed South Prussia, he would go to Cracow to join Kozciuszko, and then march wherever any resistance should be made. Accordingly, on the 13th of March, Madaliniski marched from Miawa, at the head of 1200 men, but not, as he had promised to General Ingelstrom, to proceed to Warsaw, but in the night of the 14th surprised the Prussian village of Szernik. On the following night he surprised Wislogrod, and at that place, on the 18th passed the river Weichiel, and went to Suchaczew, took the salt duties which the Prussians had collected there, and order- ed that all the foreign collectors of du- ties should leave South Prussia, or else at his return he would treat them as enemies. From hence he pursued his march towards Inowlotz. In all these places Madaliniski found small piquets of Prussians, as is usual in all frontier towns, consisting of from 20 to 60 men each, partly hussars, partly infantry, but without any artillery or ammuni- tion, excepting what was in their cartouch boxes. These small parties being una- ble to make any resistance, we of course were obliged to give way before a body of 1200 men. At Inowlotz, tho' there were only about 40 Prussians, they con- trived to retard the march of Madalin- iski for more than half an hour, by des- troying part of the bridge, till at last a party of Poles swam across the river and came upon their rear. The Pru- ssians at the same time having expended all their ammunition, were obliged to surrender. Had they been able to have stood only a few hours longer, perhaps Madaliniski's insurrection might have terminated here, as the battalions of Heinrich, two companies of Fuzileers of Oswald, with two pieces of cannon and a party of Trenck's hussars under the command of Col. Biedenbrock, were on their march thither; but the infantry being much fatigued with forced marches, could not come up in time, and Madaliniski did not stop a moment longer than was necessary to refresh his troops. Trenck's hussars however were up in time enough to make some of his rear prisoners—the rest of the body proceeded to Opoczno and Rudowze in Sendomir, in which latter place Ma- dalinski got hold of the Polish Czet which contained 80,000 gueldres; and also four pieces of iron ordnance; after which he joined General Kozciuszko at Cracow. In the different skirmishes on his march to Cracow, the Prussians lost 13 killed and 105 prisoners, among whom were five officers. The prisoners, how- ever, have since been set at liberty, on their parole not to serve against the Pa- triots. The Prussians have taken four Polish Officers and 50 privates. While these things were transacting, General Kozciuszko, with his troops, was near Cracow, and the Russian gar- rison which consisted of 600 men, hav- ing evacuated it, he took possession of the inhabitants, intreating them to lodge his troops, and join him in the defence of his country. After this, he went to the Town house, where he was received by a great

KOZCIUSKO." At the same time... a great number of Polish soldiers... arrived there in small parties, pretending... that they were upon furlough, and that... had only come to reside a few days at... Warsaw till they should join their regi-... ments. Upon the same pretext many... others had never been in the army... put on regimentals. General Igellro-... em ordered that all the soldiers should... immediately join their respective regi-... ments, and that those who were not sol-... diers should lay aside the uniform. The latter part of this order was com-... plied with, but the soldiers still conti-... nued to conceal themselves in Warsaw... till an opportunity presented for their... rising against the Russians, whom they... at last drove out of Warsaw. The King did every thing in his power to... quell the insurrection, but it was alrea-... dy become too formidable.
Since the skirmish which took place... at Racławice, thirty miles from Cracow... none of the Proceedings of General... Kozciusko have reached Warsaw, ex-... cepting that he has intercepted several... couriers; we are however assured his for-... ces consists of 8000 soldiers, besides... 5000 Polish Gentlemen, who have... turned out as volunteers. The Rus-... sians are to oppose him about 7000 men... under General Denisow and Tormawow... which before the insurrection at Warsaw... had received a reinforcement of 6000... men. The whole Russian and Prussian... troops in Poland, amount to about... 30,000 and reinforcements are daily ex-... pected. In the arsenal at Warsaw, the... insurgents took 400 or, according to... some accounts, 600 pieces of artillery.
In South Prussia no rising has taken... place, though Madalinsky had said that... the whole people in that quarter would... be instantly up in arms.

From a Correspondent,
Extract of a letter from a gentleman... in Manchester, to his friend in Phi-... ladelphia, dated May 17, 1794.
THE success which our forces in... the West-Indies have had, has given... fresh vigour to the supporters of the... war. As the most important of the... French islands have fallen into our hand... it is very likely that the whole may fol-... low. The advantages that we have... lately gained in that quarter, together... with the party differences in the coun-... try, have advanced the prices of... our funds about seven or eight per cent... The value of American funds has ad-... vanced in London in nearly the same... proportion, and this is supposed to be... owing to the pacific disposition which... our court is now disposed to show to-... wards yours. Our ministry are greatly... alarmed at the spirited manner in which... Congress have taken up the insults of-... fered to American merchants by our... courts of admiralty, and they have pro-
posed Mr. Pinckney that... hall is here certainly... for his... Poland... army... to liberate... which... raising... quota to be... it was...
A correspondent is anxious to learn... how soon the directors of the mint of... the United States mean to furnish the... public with gold and silver coin. A... considerable time has elapsed since its... establishment, and nothing has emanated... from it but a few cents and half cents. At present there appears a necessity for... it to supersede foreign coinage, as some... if not all, of the banks in this city re-... fuse to accommodate us with the chang-... e of a single guinea. This want of ac-... commodation may appear trivial to per-... sons in capital business, but by a mecha-... nic who only now and then receives a... balance guinea , it is particularly felt.
Further account of the late Fire in... Bosten from the Columbian Centinel. The fiery element began its devastation... in the Rope-Walk owned by Mr. Edward... How, about 20 minutes, after four o'clock... from accident. This careful and industri-... ous citizen, kindled the fire that morning... himself—a spark from which caught some... hemp and tar; basted every effort to ex-... quinquish them—in attempting which Mr. How was considerably burnt.
The alarm was instantly spread through... the town before any number of citizens... could be collected—such was the quality of... the combustibles on fire—all the Walks... adjacent, (six of which were 600 feet in... length) were enveloped in flames—which... fed by immense quantities of hemp, tar... and cordage, spread with nearly the ra-... pidity of electricity. The wind being N. two points E. the... fire instantly, and at the same time... took the houses on the East side of Atkin-... son Street (Green's Lane) and the street... being the Walks, and spreading through... the avenues contiguous, continued its de-... structive progress to the sea. Happily the... wind continued from the same point... until nearly the close of the devastation, when it shifted to the N. E.—Had this... happened an hour earlier, a very large... part of the town must inevitably have fallen... an additional sacrifice.
The exertions of the inhabitants were... more conspicuous, and they never directed... them to more proper objects. A striking... instance was shown in their arresting... the flames, the houses of Mellis, Packard... and Sturgis, in Atkinson Street. Notwith-... standing they were wooden buildings, and... he outside of the former and the roof of... the latter were burnt to coals, the fire was... instantly extinguished, and the shells pre-... served—thereby preserving the Rev. Mr. ... Bellenap's Meeting house, and, consequent-... ly, it is thought, all the buildings to the... Wheeler's Point. Our fellow citizens... the adjacent towns, are entitled to every... return of gratitude and thanks for their... prompt and effective exertions on this me-... morable occasion: Engines from Charle-... stown, Roxbury, Dorchester, Milton, Watertown and Cambridge, arrived in... own within the space of an hour, accom-... panied by a number of their inhabitants; and at... Salem, 16 miles distance, the fire was al-... most instantly discovered; the alarm given... and numbers sat out to afford their friend-... ly assistance.
The loss sustained cannot be ascertained... and in this loss the public are great sufferers... as they have to lament the loss of seven... great Manufactories of cordage, a great... quantity of raw materials, and a no less... quantity of Manufactured Riggings and... tables. In attempting the recital of the... general loss, we shall without doubt be defi-... cient, although our information is derived... from the best sources; but even the sufferers... themselves cannot as yet ascertain the... amount of their losses.
Many of the sufferers have lost all they pos-... sessed in the world, and are driven from... a state of ease and competence, to that of... dependence and want. Their situation... calls loudly on the benevolence of their fel-... low citizens for assistance; and it certain-... ly behoves the Commonwealth not to for-... get the usefulness of active citizens to be lo-... rom blameless misfortune.
In an extract of a letter from Boston... published in this Gazette the 6th inst... it was said that the property in Mr. Ru-... ss's stores was saved—the letter was writ-... ten the morning the fire happened—ac-... counts published since, state that Mr. Ru-... ss's loss amounts to 20,000 dollars—Mr. ... John Codman's loss by the same fire, is... estimated at 35,000 dollars.
By the arrival of Captain Tremble at... Fort Tiffin, from Dominique, the true... distressing intelligence is received, of... the deaths of Mr. Higginson at Domi-... nique—and of Mr. Rhea, his Brother-... in-law. Mrs. Higginson is we learn... on board Capt. Tremble's vessel. By the same conveyance information... is received, that Admiral Jervis has left
Gualaloupe, and is arrived at Domi-... nique.

WHEREAS it appears in and by a pro- clamation of the President of the United States, bearing even date herewith, that certain acts have been perpetrated in the western parts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which he is advised amount to treason, being overt acts of levying war against the United States; that James Wil- son, an Associate Justice, on the fourth in- stant, by writing under his hand, did, from evidence which had been laid before him, do- nify to the President, that in the coun- ties of Washington and Allegheny in Penn- sylvania, laws of the United States are op- posed, and the execution thereof obstruct- ed, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judi- cial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshal of the district; and that in the judgment of the President it is neces- sary, under the circumstances of the case, to take measures for calling forth the mili- tia, in order to suppress the combinations aforesaid, and to cause the laws to be duly executed:
AND WHEREAS it appears to me expedient, that, on this extraordinary occasion, the General Assembly should be convened, for the purpose of taking the premises into their serious considera- tion, of devising the necessary means to maintain the peace and dignity of the commonwealth, and of providing more effectually, than the existing laws pro- vide, for organizing, arming and equip- ping the militia, in order to insure a prompt and faithful compliance with the orders of government, and of such re- quisitions, as the President shall make, in pursuance of his constitutional and le- gal powers: THEREFORE, and by vir- tue of the authority in such case to me given, in and by the Constitution of the commonwealth, I have issued this Pro- clamation, hereby convening, the Gen- eral Assembly, to meet at the State House in the City of Philadelphia, on Monday the first day of September next, and of which meeting, all persons there- in concerned, are required to take due notice.
Given under my Hand and the Great Seal of the State, at Philadelphia, this seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and of the Commonwealth the nine- teenth.

MR. FENNO, I was mightily pleased with a publi- cation in your paper of the 5th inst... under the signature of Equa Liberty . The author's plan of an equal distribu- tion of property if carried into effect, will gain the Democratic Societies more Pro- selites than volumes of crude and unmeaning expositions with respect to the honesty of their views. As the suc- cess of a measure of this kind however, must depend upon the opinion which the several candidates may entertain of the advantage to be derived from joining these clubs; it would be well perhaps if the individual members were immediate- ly to publish an inventory of their rea- and personal estates, leaving those per- sons to whom it might be inconvenient to comply with the requisition, at liberty to avail themselves of a return called NIL HABET . In short Mr. Printer, if it can be proved to my satisfaction, that there is money to be got by turning Demo- crat, (for I cannot think of keeping such company without being paid for it) I will not only join the Society my- self, but will undertake to procure them many hundred recruits, who like myself would rather divide with any man that work.

NEW-YORK, August 8. From a Correspondent, Several gentlemen in this city ev- ready to vie with the Citizens of the United States, for their actual sympa- thy ("a brother's sufferings claim a brother's pity") have already expressed a wish to shew their readiness to sub- scribe liberally on the late unhappy vi- sitation, to which we are all liable to experience—and if a respectable com- mittee in New-York would undertake
to open a subscription paper, there is every reason to conclude a handsome sum would be collected for our brethren who have severely felt the reverse of fortune in Boston.

Portsmouth, May 17.
A letter from Captain Michael Smith dated Algiers, Dec. 8, 1793, to his brother-in-law in this town, contain the following interesting details:
"I am desirous to inform you of a very particular relative to that people among whom I am now a captive—their force consists of 5 ships, 2 brigs and 44 sheerbacks, mounting from 22 to 44 guns, all of which are now in port repairing to go out against the Ameri- cans and Genoese. We are told that they intend to cruise on the coast of A- merica, for which purpose the masters are learning navigation, of which they are ignorant, as the brig that took me would never have got into the Straits again, if they had not compelled me to navigate her. But flushed with suc- cess the last cruise, and with that progress they have made in navigation this win- ter, they will make a bold push the en- suing summer, and I am afraid will take many of my countrymen, and bring them to this wretched place of slavery, to prevent which I will describe their Corsairs as well as I can. They have all Lion heads, the head of which is gilt, and the lower part white, all their sails are made of cotton, the cloths are very narrow, which is a good mark, being very different from their other sails, their sterns are white, and they have a number of half moons painted on their top-arming and other places—in working their vessels they are very awkward—the sheerbacks are easily known by being differently rigged—and they have all a kind of Mahometan ladder hanging under their gibb-boom in form of a man swinging by the neck, this is a certain mark, and may be seen at a great distance with a spy glass. If the foregoing description should prove the means of one of my countrymen's escape, I shall think my- self well rewarded for all I can write. I am sorry to say that no country has se- lected its sons in this place so much a the United States."
"There are nations that are at war with this people, who make it a custom to redeem a hundred every year, but here we find 2 ships crews belonging to America, who were captured in 1784. We could have obtained peace two years ago, for less than half they now demand—the Dey however we hear has refused to make peace. I hope our country will effect something for us the ensuing summer—The total number of Americans here is 119—some English and Spaniards taken with us are already relieved; tho', our ransom would be trifling for each of you in America to pay, and I am sure that could you view our situation, there would not be a heart so hard, but would contribute even half his estate to assist us, loaded with chains nothing but bread and water for our diet, every consolation denied us in the exercise of our religion, confined to hard labor, and flogged on the soles of our feet, for that is their mode of punish- ment; indeed I cannot describe to you the one half of our sufferings. It is purgatory.—Is it possible that Ameri- ca will suffer natives to linger out the remains of a miserable life in slavery— no, it is impossible—a free people will never suffer those things, which all other nations hold in abhorrence."
"At present we are all well as to health but the plague is here, which no doubt will put an end to the slavery of some of us— Within the walls of this city last August, died 7000 in one month—My dear brother, pray spare no pains to inform me of my family, and your candid opinion of our si- tuation, whether there are or not any hope of re-capture.—Don't flatter me with a ladow—but write me your sentiments hereon, be they good or bad, for my part I keep a good heart, and my only consol- ation is, that although my body is enslaved my mind is free, and in spite of those who keep to see better days, and to enjoy my friends whom I now know the value of. I have this moment a chain about my leg which will weigh 25lb.—That you nor any of your children or connections may come to this, is the sincere wish of your unfortunate brother, MICHAEL SMITH."

WINCHESTER, August 4.
The following melancholy accident happened on the 1st ult. at Shelbyville, Kentucky.
A difference happening between Ma- jor Shannon, and Mr. Felte, an affray took place, in which Major Shannon stabbed Mr. Felte in the breast with a dirk, of which wound he expired with- in half an hour after he received it. After receiving the wound, Mr. Felte drew a ston on Major Shannon, which struck him on the head and fractured his skull. An inflammation succeeded, and his life was despaired of when our in- formant left that place, being then speechless. We since learn that he is lead.
On Wednesday last Opiamingo, and the rest of the Chickasaw Indians, pas- sed through this town on their way home from Philadelphia.—We hear the President of the United States has ho- noured some of the Chiefs with officers commissions in the army, and that they are to, lead on a chosen band of war- riors against the hostile tribes opposed to General Wayne.
For the Gazette of the United States:
MR. FENNO, The following trifle was written some time since—if you think it is not out of date you may publish it. Yours, C.
The federal ship launch'd from the shore; With pilots sage full many a score, Now plows the wat'ry deep; Mean time, she pitches, heels, and yaws, Her flapping sails are torn by flaws, While surges o'er her sweep: Fifteen great shoals lye in her way, The Channels which between them lay, Are narrow, crooked, deep, The pilots keep the lead a going; The rocks and quicksands hourly show- ing, They neither rest or sleep. Long may the fates propitious prove, And keep alive the man we love, Who now the ship commands; And when his tour of duty's o'er, May he be landed on that shore, Where's neither rocks, nor shoals, nor sands.
A Barbadoe-Paper was received in town this day, brought from Domi- nique, which contains Lord Howe's official account of the naval engage- ment between the French and English Fleets; and states, that the latter took seven sail of the French, and sunk two; the paper further says, that the Eng- lish afterwards fell in with the Chesapeake Fleet, and captured one hundred and twenty sail.

combinations, proceeding in a manner
subversive equally of the just authority
of government and of the rights of in-
dividuals have hitherto effected their
dangerous and criminal purpose; by
the influence of certain irregular meet-
ings, whose proceedings have tended to
encourage and uphold the spirit of op-
position, by misrepresentations of the
laws calculated to render them odious,
by endeavors to deter those who might
be so disposed from accepting offices un-
der them, through fear of public re-
sentment and of injury to person and
property, and to compel those who had
accepted such offices by actual violence
to surrender or forbear the execution of
them;—by circulating vindictive mena-
ces against all those who should other-
wise directly or indirectly aid in the ex-
ecution of the said laws or who, yielding
to the dictates of conscience and to a
sense of obligation should themselves
comply therewith, by actually injuring
and destroying the property of persons
who were understood to have so compli-
ed:—by inflicting cruel and humiliating
punishments upon private citizens for no
other cause than that of appearing to
be the friends of the laws;—by in-
tercepting the public officers on
the high ways, abusing, assaulting,
and otherwise ill treating them; by going
to their houses in the night, gaining ad-
mittance by force, taking away their
papers and committing other outrages;
employing for these unwarrantable pur-
poses the agency of armed banditti dis-
guised in such manner as for the most part to
escape discovery; And whereas the en-
deavors of the Legislature to obviate ob-
jections to the said laws, by lowering the
duties and by other alterations conducive to
the convenience of those whom they im-
mediately affect (though they have given
satisfaction in other quarters) and the en-
deavors of the executive officers to con-
ciliate a compliance with the laws, by ex-
planations, by forbearance and even by
accommodations founded on the suggestion
of local considerations have been disap-
pointed of their effect by the machinations
of persons whose industry to excite re-
sistance has increased with the appearance
of a disposition among the people to relax in
their opposition and to acquiesce in the laws;
infomuch that many persons in the said
western parts of Pennsylvania have at
length been hardy enough to perpetrate
acts which I am advised amount to treason,
being overt acts of levying war against the
United States; the said persons having on
the sixteenth and seventeenth of July last
past proceeded in arms (on the second
day amounting to several hundreds) to
the house of John Neville inspector of the
revenue for the fourth survey of the
district of Pennsylvania, having repeat-
edly attacked the said house with the
persons therein, wounding some of them
having seized David Lenox marshal
of the district of Pennsylvania, who
previous thereto had been fired upon,
while in the execution of his duty, by
a party of armed men detaining him for
some time prisoner, till for the preser-
vation of his life and the obtaining of
his liberty he found it necessary to enter
into stipulations to forbear the execution
of certain official duties touching proce-
sses issuing out of a court of the United
States—and having finally obliged the
said inspector of the revenue and the
Marshal from considerations of person-
al safety to fly from that part of the coun-
try, in order by a circuitous route to
proceed to the seat of government; a
vowing as the motives of these out-
rageous proceedings an intention to pre-
vent by force of arms the execution of
the said laws, to oblige the said inspec-
tor of the revenue to renounce his said
office, to withstand by open violence the
lawful authority of the government of
the United States, and to compel there-
by an alteration in the measures of the
legislature and a repeal of the laws a-
foresaid—And whereas by a law of the
United States entitled, "An act to
provide for calling forth the militia to
execute the laws of the union, suppress
insurrections and repel invasions," it is
enacted "that whenever the laws of the
United States shall be opposed or the
execution thereof obstructed in any state
by combinations too powerful to be sup-
pressed by the ordinary course of judi-
cial proceedings or by the powers vested
in the marshals by that act, the same
being notified by an associate justice or
the District judge, it shall be lawful for
the President of the United States to
call forth the militia of such state to sup-
press such combinations—and to cause
the laws to be duly executed. And if
the militia of a state where such com-
bination may happen shall refuse or be
insufficient to suppress the same, it shall
be lawful for the President if the leg-
islature of the United States shall not be
in session to call forth and employ such
numbers of the militia of any other
state or states most convenient thereto,
as may be necessary, and the use of the
militia so to be called forth may be
continued, if necessary, until the ex-
piration of thirty days after the com-
mencement of the ensuing session, Pro-
vided always, that whenever it may be
necessary in the judgment of the Presi-
dent to use the military force hereby di-
rected to be called forth, the President
shall forthwith and previous thereto, by
Proclamation, command such insurgents
to disperse and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes within a limited time.
—And whereas James Wilson an asso-
ciate justice on the fourth instant be-
writing under his hand did, from evi-
dence which had been laid before him
notify to me that "in the counties of
Washington and Allegheny in Penn-
sylvania, the laws of the United States
are opposed, and the execution there-
of obstructed by combinations too
powerful to be suppressed by the or-
dinary course of judicial proceedings
or by the powers vested in the Mar-
shal of that district."
And whereas it is in my judgment
necessary under the circumstances of the
case to take measures for calling forth
the militia in order to suppress the com-
binations aforesaid and to cause the laws
to be duly executed, and I have accord-
ingly determined so to do, feeling the
deepest regret for the occasion, but with-
al the most solemn conviction, that the
essential interests of the Union demand
it, that the very existence of govern-
ment and the fundamental principles of
social order are materially involved in
the issue, and that the patriotism and
firmness of all good citizens are seriously
called upon, as occasion may require to
aid in the effectual suppression of so fatal
a spirit.
Wherefore, and in pursuance of the
provision above recited, I George Wash-
ington, President of the United States,
do hereby command all persons, being
insurgents as aforesaid, and all others
whom it may concern, on or before the
first day of September next to disperse
and retire peaceably to their respective
abodes. And I do moreover warn all
persons whomsoever against aiding abet-
ting or comforting the perpetrators of
the aforesaid treasonable acts: And do
require all officers and other citizens ac-
cording to their respective duties and
the law of the land to exert their utmost
endeavors to prevent and suppress such
dangerous proceedings.
In testimony whereof I have caused
the seal of the United States
of America to be affixed to these
presents, and signed the same
with my hand. Done at the
city of Philadelphia the seventh
day of August one thousand sev-
en hundred and ninety four,

liquid semper ad communem utilitatem
adferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if
rightly understood, is the only basis
on which universal justice, sacred order,
and perfect freedom, can be firmly built,
and permanently secured. The view of
it exhibited in this essay, at the same time
that it represses the insolence of office,
the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of
oppression; confirms, in the most forcible
manner, the necessity of subordination,
and the just demands of lawful authority.
So far indeed, from loosening the bands
of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil distinction,
more closely every social tie, unites
one harmonious and justly proportioned
system, and brings men together on the
even ground of the inherent rights of hu-
man nature, of reciprocal obligation, and
a common relation to the community.

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 a good general imitation of the genuine
bills, but may be distinguished by the fol-
lowing
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States
ALL that have appeared have the letter
P. 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
heavier in the margin particularly in much
coarser and appears darker than in the true
bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in
1791—Whereas the Bank was not in oper-
ation 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
P. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper neatly 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 a 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
be 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 they 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 com-
mitted in some of the Southern States, as all
the counterfeits that have appeared, have come
from thence, and two persons have been ap-
prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being
the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL-
LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons
who shall discover and prosecute to conviction
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
or any other way, in the counterfeiting and
uttering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have ap-
peared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY
DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is
the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the ge-
nuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a
more tender texture and glossier surface
than the genuine, and there is no water
mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in
the true bills is strongly marked, whereas
in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a
fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished
state. The letter a in the word demand,
is badly formed and the whole word ill done
and there is no comma at the end of it, as
in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much weaker
in the false, than in the genuine bills own-
ing to the shade strokes being coarser, much
more numerous. This difference strikes the
eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending
and prosecuting to conviction the several
above described Offenders in respect to this,
as to the last described bills.

of the Bank United States.
