SAVANNAH, (Georgia) May 78 1795. Judge Blair's Charge to the Grand Jury Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, THE office of a Grand Jury is of a very important nature, whether we consider its efficacy for the detection of guilt, the pro- tection of innocence, or the support of freedom. It may be considered as one in- termediate station between the publick a- venger and the supposed object of his ven- geance; he bears indeed, the drawn sword, but suspends its fatal stroke, till the peers of the accused under the guidance of the laws of the land, and evidence of facts, constitrate it as the sword of justice. And so greatly is the innocent favoured, so care- fully guarded under our happy govern- ment against the oppressions which uncon- trolled power would be too apt to produce, that after a presentment by a Grand Jury, (which cannot be made but by a majority of them, nor by a less number than twelve) a prisoner has a right to a fair trial by o- ther twelve impartial men, and cannot on his arraignment have a verdict pass against him, without their unanimous consent;— so that no free man can be convicted of any crime, of which the punishment would affect life or member, without the concurrence of, at least, twenty-four legal- ly qualified men.
Miserable, on the one hand, is the sla- very, where obedience is exacted to men, and not to the laws, but miserable too, on the other, is the anarchy, where the laws lose their tone, are violated and despised. Neither of these conditions can be the lot of Americans, while the office which you, Gentlemen, now fill, is exercised with firmness, circumspection, and impartiality.
As the good of the community, Gen- tlemen, requires all your activity and zeal in bringing forward to justice real guilt, so it would be a subject for mutual congrat- ulations, if the true state of our country were such as to deny the keenest researches of your inquisitorial office, if just infor- mation on the subject of public happiness, added to the general prevalence of virtu- ous habits, were universally displaying a better security for order and good govern- ment than can be expected merely from a fear of the laws; and this I flatter myself is now not far removed from the truth.— However this may be, it will be salutary to keep in perpetual memory, that a scene of convulsive disorder, exhibited in some of the western counties in the state of Pen- nsylvania, threatening a calamity no less dreadful than the exertion of our happy government, flood forth lately a melan- cholly exception to such a pleasing state of things. To those who with the general prosperity of our nation, it will afford a useful lesson, how dangerous it is to in- dulge too freely discontent with respect to the measures of government, to oppose with pertinacious petulance private to pub- lic opinion, and to urge the removal of grievances, imaginary or real, without the line of constitutional redress. And to those who though they have not under- gone so diabolical perversion as to feast on distress, and delight in disturbing the or- derly course of things, though they love
not evil for its own sake, can yet consent to introduce it for the sake of advancing their own ill understood, their own distorted good, it will afford the only intruduc- tion on their principles permit them to receive, how unavailing for the attainment of its object is all their bitter policy, how strong its tendency to produce nothing but what is the most opposite to its aim. In such men we expect to see the influ- ence of more generous motives; but it will be happy for the public if by fear they may be restrained from annoying the ge- neral peace.
Whatever other objects there may be reason to think the future of the pub- lic tranquility had a view, that which they avowed was, to prevent forcibly the collection of the tax, which, in consequence of the name, by which it is called, has been from a tax which in other countries has with reason been held odious, is perhaps, incorrigible, capable of being defended under the modifications which the legisla- ture have imposed upon it. Whether this be so or not, is not, however, for me to say; it will, I suppose, one day become a subject of discussion before the Honora- ble Body to whom the law imposing that tax owes its existence, who alone can cor- rect or annihilate it, as on the one hand they will feel too much for the dignity of Government to give up, through the im- pulse of faction, any measure which may appear to them essential to the public good, so on the other will, no doubt, be well disposed to remove every real grievance, every occasion of just complaint. But what chiefly concerns us, what principally af- fects all the good people of the United States, takes place on the contrary suppo- sition. Admit that the principle of the law is untenable, that the law ought to be repealed, or never to have been enacted, yet this, surely, will not justify a forcible resistance. Such a conduct is going back to a state of nature; it is to renounce all the advantages of civil society, and aban- don to all the evils which men by civil as- sociations seek to avoid. For it would be too absurd to expect a participation of all the benefits of the social compact, with- out sharing its burdens; such a privilege would be a political monster. Men, there- fore, who refuse to be governed by the ge- neral will, declare (as far as they have a right to do so) that they are not the mem- bers of the community; and if not bro't back to a sense of duty they are effectually expatriated, the honor of government is tariffied, its authority set at nought.
Unanimity in the councils of republican states is seldom to be expected, and in e- very society the public will is sought for in the sense of the majority. Government, which unites and concentrates the strength of every individual, in any case of re- fractory behavior uses the greater force, or of the many, for the induction of the lesser, or of the few; as naturally in- the case of different wills, is that of the few merged in the will of many. But if a minority can persuade themselves that they have a right to oppose a law enacted by the majority, with equal reason might they insist that the will of the few is that which is to prescribe a rule to society;— but this is repugnant to the common sense of mankind, to the principle of every consti- tution.
If this opposition had been made to any self-constituted authority, it would have been only a resistance of tyranny, and the exertions of those engaged in it would have merited the highest praises which their contemporaries could bestow, or the faith- ful historian record; If resistance should, in another form, be made to an uncon- stitutional act of Congress itself, it would have some degree of merit, and be entitled to the protection of the law. But what can be said for a violent opposition to the constitution itself, that constitution which, whatever may be its faults, is the deliberate act of the people, and provides in a similar course of deliberation, for its own amendment? For, surely, the consti- tution is attacked whenever resistance is made to a law enacted under its authority. If such a fabric, erected by the public will, should ever fall a sacrifice to the rage of a few, what fairer cause is likely to rise on its ruins? If liberty be the object, how is it likely, or rather, how is it pos- sible to be built up with more stability? If tyranny be dreaded, where is its hideous form more likely to shew itself than in the rear of wild and licentious anarchy? A- gainst such a constitution as, through the indulgence of Heaven, we have the singu- lar felicity to have established for ourselves, can there ever be an apology for violence? All the evils which can intrude, from whatever quarter (for no work of man is exempt from imperfection) may here meet with ready correctives. Have bad laws, the mere effect of inexperience, been enacted? Wisdom will be acquired from their operation. Are the Legislative Body, or any of its Members, suspected of indulging a private interest inconsis- tent with the general good? The constituent body may either try the milder means of admonition, in the form of instructions, or if the occasion seem to demand a more energetic remedy, it may withdraw its confidence, & repeal it where it will be less likely to be abused; and in addition, all men have a right in a decent manner, to lay open their grievances before the whole legislature; and explain the ground of their complaint. All the modes of redress, if none beside, may also be used, where the evil complained of is an unconstitu- tional exercise of legislative authority, or an extension of the legislative powers be- yond their prescribed limits; and if the evil lie in the constitution itself, even there also, (as has been already said) not not indeed with equal facility and as little ceremony, (for that would seem liable to great objection) it is capable, by the mere volition of the people, by that general will
which first spoke it into being, in this mild form it is capable of purgation, and even of annihilation. What just occasion can there ever be then, to withhold obedi- ence and make a desperate appeal to arms? the event of which, whatever it may be, cannot possibly put us in a better situation, but after all the cruelty and distraction inseparable from civil war may possibly end in destroying fundamentally one of the fairest fabrics the world has yet seen, and in putting to a hopeless end one of the best political establishments the wisdom of man has yet formed for public felicity.
Led, as we are, to deplore the late me- lancholly occasion, it may not be amiss, Gentlemen, to trace the evil (if we may) to its root; we may then more happily apply the cure. Whatever other causes may have concurred to produce it, (for I presume not to accurate information on the subject) may we not suppose one to be a spirit, which in various parts of the Union has been too much encouraged, and even by some who never meant to extend its baneful influence to such unhappy con- sequences; a spirit incompatible with or- der and the temperate provisions of regular government? Happy will it be if the dan- gerous crisis to which we were once reduced shall engage some men to reflect, how much easier it is to fret the minds of the ignorant with four discontent, than to confine their rage at a certain point. Happy too will it be, if the final event which has taken place, shall induce the deluded multitude to open their eyes and be guard- ed against future deceptions, if not from a love of their country, at least from a fear of its laws. When we consider how much we are indebted, for the advantage- ous political ground on which we happily stand, to the military aid of a nation, who are now engaged in defence of their own rights, as men, against the invasions of a powerful combination, it is no wonder that in generous minds a grateful sympa- thy should arise, with fervent wishes for their success. That the outrages which our commerce, in contempt of our un- questionable rights, as a neutral nation, has suffered in the progress of the present war, should call into the aid of fraternal affection, on the one hand, the keen force of resentment on the other, is perfect na- ture; the sentiments themselves deserve no reproof. But there may be, and there certainly are, other motives, to which even these ought to yield. War is undoubt- edly one of the greatest evils a nation can fall into, next to those to which it may be exposed from an opinion of its impor- tance or pusillanimity; and that nation, which hastily engages in it, even in re- sentment of real injuries, without trying the success of those pacific negotiations which sometimes spare the effusion of hu- man blood, can scarce be acquitted of the charge of neglecting its indispensable duty.
Is there not, then, reason to be pleased with the moderation of our political rulers, who have so happily known how to reconcile a firm resolution to maintain our national rights with a prudent caution to pursue all healing measures for the re- dress of our wrongs to prevent the necessi- ty of making the last awful appeal; and that these measures have been probably crowned with success beyond our highest hope affords an occasion at once of mutual joy and national gratitude. Was it not then to be lamented, that the wife and salutary exertions of our Government were exposed to the danger of disappoint- ment from the unruly temper and over- hasty zeal of a part of our citizens? It is a truth we cannot too earnestly inculcate, that no partial collections of the people have a right to decide for the whole, or to hazard their dearest interests; that the impossibility of exercising dominion by the immediate agency of the people indis- pensably requires that they have their Re- presentatives to be clothed with their au- thority and strengthened by their confi- dence; that in such representation alone is displayed the majesty of the people; and that every exercise of power, derog- atory to the authority so delegated, what- ever pretences it may make to popular dig- nity, is in truth a presumptuous invasion of the rights of the people, a bold usur- pation of their sovereignty; and the act of such collective bodies is to be classed with those disorders, to repress which is one of the great ends of all government.
I have been induced, Gentlemen, to make those strictures, from an opinion I have conceived, that the spirit of those proceedings, though operating upon a dif- ferent subject, was the governing princi- ple of the late commotions; an over- strained conception of liberty, deriving to certain combinations of men, and al- most to individual characters, all the sac- red rights of the people, and dignifying with their name and authority their own pernicious systems. But if it be the just end of government to restrain the licen- tious conduct of unauthorized agents, what title can such men have to think them- selves the defenders of our rights! They are not the supporters, but the licentious abusers of liberty.
Government is a thing so interesting to every member of the society, that it could have no pretensions to the character of free, if it should aim at a coercion of the minds as well as of the actions of the ci- tizens; while men pay an external obedi- ence to the laws, they have a right to think of them as they please, and even to ex- press their opinion decently, yet strongly, as a means of obtaining an alteration; but one step farther is culpable; actual dis- obedience, or prompting others to disobey, can never be justified; for the evil of such behaviour must ever outweigh infinitely the evil (whatever it may be) of the law itself.
But why have we had occasion to com- plain that this disorderly, this headlong temper of some of our citizens was able to progress to so dangerous a crisis? Can it
be true, that some stronger power, than that which is derived from the power themselves, is necessary to keep men within just bounds? Can chains be necessary to preserve order? If the sacred and un- alienable rights of man must bend at the throne of power, and be sacrificed to pro- tection, what will remain worth protect- ing? Must we be constrained to confess, that good and evil are so inseparably ali- ed, that the general interest, joined to proper information as to its true centre, will never be able, in a republican shape, to do as much for promoting political har- mony, as the strong hands of a tyrant?
For the honor of human nature let us ex- emplify the falsity of such a creed. We have already exhibited the grateful proof in the suppression, by our militia alone, of this insurrection of which I have spo- ken; and most cordially, Gentlemen, do I congratulate you on the event, and still more that it has been accomplished with- out bloodshed. All governments, except the divine, being the work of man, must of necessity partake of human imperfec- tion; each system may have its peculiar advantage and disadvantage; and if it were undeniably true, that our own is less powerful for the prompt restraint of po- pular ferment; if some few excesses (the natural price of freedom) cannot be so easily lopped, let us be consoled by the reflection, that the good order of govern- ment is substantially effected, and, as far as is practicable, without bearing its rems so tight as to frustrate the most valuable object of the social compact. Slight irregularities give us no reason to under- value our government, and the grosser I trust it will always have energy enough to re- train. Powerful auxiliaries may also be applied: A general diffusion of knowledge, and a system of virtuous and religious edu- cation, are the great desiderata. Our Con- stitution, to be valued, needs only fair play, and to be seen as it is. A state of igno- rance may be well adapted to those gov- ernments which have much to conceal, and are afraid of investigation; but a gov- ernment founded on the only legitimate basis, if, though it stand on a rock, it should, through the madness of the people, or the languor of general corruption, fall at last to ruins, must probably owe its fall to the neglect of making proper provision for the general circulation of knowledge and purity of manners. Something for- wards this general instruction, as far as concerns our political happiness, may be done by every one of us; let us all in- cate upon the minds of our more ignorant brethren the high advantages of our social compact, and the eminent interest which we all have in its inviolable preservation; and let us prove to them the sincerity of our professions, by a dutiful obedience even to such laws (if such there be) as do not in themselves meet our approbation.
I have been so absorbed, Gentlemen, by a subject of this magnitude, as to have little room for notice of others, which yet are of importance too great to be neglected. I would say of them in general, that none of them are to be slighted. All the laws of the Union, more or less momen- tous in themselves, rank upon one level considered in their character of being laws. You will therefore, Gentlemen, pay a pro- per attention to the whole system of Con- gressional legislation. If, in the course of your inquiries, you should happen to doubt respecting the preferentiality of any fact, or its prohibition by any of the acts of Congress, you may expect from the Court every assistance in their power to give you. I will no longer detain you, Gentlemen; you will be pleased to retire to your cham- ber, and enter upon those considerations which the present service may require.
Presentment of the Grand Jury. WE the Grand Jury for the District of Georgia on our oaths present, as a grievance, that the Courts of Admiralty in the United States have a power too un- limited. We therefore recommend to the next Congress seriously to consider on the propriety of restoring to the people of the United States a privilege the most sacred, that of trial by Jury in those Courts.
We are happy in the pleasing oppor- tunity afforded us of congratulating his Ho- nor the Judge, and our fellow citizens in general, on the restoration of peace and tranquility in the western counties of Pen- nsylvania, and feel a confidence, in the re- flections displayed on that alarming occasion (to quell so daring an attack on the lib- erties of a free people) that no other attempt of a like nature will be made to disturb our happy government. The sentiments expressed in the excellent charge delivered by his Honor the Judge, and the moral and patriotic lesson it contains, would, if properly disseminated, add much to the order and good government of our country; to promote so desirable an end, we recommend that the same, together with our presentment, be published in the Ga- zettes of this state. We perfectly agree with his Honor the Judge, that every at- tempt towards a redress of real or imagi- nary grievances, if not applied for in a constitutional manner, is highly injurious to the community, and fraught with the most dangerous consequences; and as it is our duty, so it shall be our end, ever to present every infringement of our happy constitution.

FOR SALE, A very valuable ESTATE, Called TWITTENHAM. SITUATE in the township of Upper Darby, in the county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new West- ern road; containing 230 acres of excellent Land, 45 of which are good scattered Meadows, 90 of prime Wood-Land, and the rest Arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two- story Brick House, with 4 rooms on a floor, and Cellars under the whole, with a Pump Well of excellent Water in front; a large frame Barn, Stables, and other convenient buildings; a Smoke- House and a new Spring House; two good Apple- Orchards, and one of Peaches. The Fields are all in Clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of Water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for Grazing.
The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the Land, the good neighbor- hood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a Gentleman's Country Seat.

"ARGENT MOULT," or, GOLD COLOURED METAL. Sold by one MANLY in Cheapside. This adulterous composition of copper and brass was moulded into Watch Chains, Buckles, Toothpicks, and other trifles, and was sold at a price nearly equal to Gold—the ingenious inventor having the ad- dress to persuade his customers that it possessed all the properties of the METAL LAWN, resisting fire and smoke, and if thrown into the fire would come out with a new lustre—and that when the article sold was fairly worn out, he would take it back and return the original purchase money in proportion to the wear.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23. To a CORRESPONDENT in the Aurora of June the 23d. Mr. Correspondent—With thou be so good as to tell me, whether thou art the whole people of the United States, or not? or if thou really believest thyself to be a majority of those people? For if thou art the whole people, or even a majority, and will ask the Senate to let thee see the Treaty, I think they would be right to show it thee; provided, that thou wouldst promise to keep it secret from all foreigners, until it was finally acted on. Otherwise, be it ever so good for America, the ratification might be frustrated. But if thou art neither the whole people of the United States, nor even a majority of those people: if, in fact, thou art, as I suppose, but a simple, a very simple individual, who cannot keep a secret, then I think the Senate may well balance against thee the rest of the people, who have vested in them the right of advising and assenting to treaties, and still keep thee in ignorance. As to the people, it is enough for them if they know the law when it really becomes a law; since the right of making law by treaty the people have most expressly given to the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate: and I doubt not they have still too much good sense to think it a business proper for their interference. As for newspaper scribblers, I never thought they were the people—I do not believe the people themselves think they are.

Ship Victoria, Hubbell, Jamaica Matilda, Alcoug, ditto Harriot, Dadd, St. Thomas Barque Favouite, Whippo, Bordeaux Brig Jack, Henderson, Port au-Prince Prudence, Tingley, Antigua Enterprize, Fitzpatrick, Brest Sch'r Regular, Laboureur, Norfolk President, Laing, Charleston Sloop Charming Sally, Matthews, Edenton Supply, Allen, Trinidad The ship Ann, Coffin, and Commerce, Bunker, are both arrived at Havre-de-Grace. The ship Minerva, Crowninshield, is burnt in the Thames, with a cargo on board, bound to the East-Indies, worth 30,000l. sterling. Saturday arrived the brig Enterprize, Captain Fitzpatrick, in 47 days from Brest. Captain Fitzpatrick on his passage spoke the following vessels: May 6, in lat. 48, long. 12, spoke the British frigate Pearl, from Cork, out 6 days, the Captain of which hailed him very politely. May 16, in lat. 47, long. 36, spoke the schooner Lucy, from Portsmouth, bound to Poole, out 16 days, all well. May 14, in lat. 47, long. 30, spoke ship Fame, from Philadelphia, bound to Bordeaux. June 14, was boarded by Goodrich's three masted schooner off Bermuda, who broke open his letters, and searched his vessel from stem to stern, but otherwise behaved politely. The following vessels sailed from Boston on the same day with Capt. Fitzpatrick: Ship Prudence, of this port, from Havre. George, Morris, of do. for do. Lydia, Seton, of do. for London. Brig Betsey, Northom, for Russia. Sulannah, Betterton, for Philadelphia. Ship Bedford, of Newport, for New-York.
Remaining in Brest from London: Brig Mary, of Haverhill, which was taken and brought in, was cleared and expected to sail in a few days. A ship from Boston, and a brig from Rhode Island, the names of which Capt. F. does not recollect. Captain Fitzpatrick informs us, that 15 sail of the line, and a number of frigates were lying in the harbour of Brest—that 4 ships of the line were on the stocks, one of which is the largest ever built, pierced for 140 guns. Provisions were falling daily. Flour about 16 dollars, and beef about 17 dollars per barrel. Capt. Fitzpatrick fell in with 13 British ships of war, cruising off Ushant.
Captain Drummond of the Schooner Active, of George-Town, Kennebec, failed from Hull the 7th October last, and experienced for 90 days the most severe weather; then put away for the West-Indies, the crew and passengers being on a very short allowance. On the 5th February, was boarded by the boats of three French privateers, from Guadeloupe, who took from him his register, sea-letter, log-book, &c. notwithstanding his declaring himself an American, in an American vessel, having American property on board, and was in distress. After plundering the vessel, the captain's chest, and the passengers, of almost every thing, they put them on board the privateer, only permitting Captain Drummond to take a bundle of clothes. The Schooner they sent to St. Thomas's. Captain Drummond experienced every mark of indignity, oppression and cruelty, and was confined on board the prison-ship, notwithstanding the American gentlemen at Point Petre offered to give any security for his appearance. To Mr. William Thompson, supercargo of the Sally, from Boston, Captain Drummond feels himself under particular obligations for his kindness as well as to Captain Cockran of Philadelphia. The Schooner and cargo were condemned, without Captain Drummond being informed when the trial came on, or his being admitted to appear in his own behalf. To all which Captain Drummond has entered his protest; and still protests to the French Republic against all the proceedings. The Schooner was bound to New-York, her cargo was brought to St. Thomas's and sold at Vendome.
ALBANY, June 12. On Tuesday last, official information having been received in this city of the result of the late general election, and that Mr. JAY, was duly elected to the office of Governor, and Mr. VAN-RENSSELAER, to the office of Lieut. Governor—the committee who had supported the nomination of those gentlemen, and many other of our fellow citizens, met at the city-tavern, to exchange their mutual congratulations; when it was agreed, that the ensuing day, they would wait on the Lieut. Governor elect, with their compliments on the occasion. In consequence, an indiscriminate invitation was given to the citizens, and respectable strangers. At 12 o'clock, on Wednesday, the committee met at the house of their chairman, Gen. Ten Broeck, from whence a procession was formed, which moved to the house of the hon. Mr. Van Rensselaer at Water-Vliet.
On this pleasing occasion, we remarked, with the most lively satisfaction, that the company was composed of gentlemen of opposite political sentiments, even the chairman and several members of the opposing committee were of the number. Every countenance expressed a wish to bury the political hatchet, and to destroy that baneful spirit of party, which for many years past has rent this state into the most fatal divisions. We ardently hope that harmony and mutual good fellowship will be the happy issue throughout the state—that peace, liberality of sentiment, prosperity and interior improvement will distinguish our future progress; and that we may soon rise conspicuous, one of the first links in the federal chain. Amen!
STOCKBRIDGE, June 15. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in CANAAN to his friend in RICHMOND. "The interest you feel in what respects good government, induces me to communicate to you the pleasing intelligence of the election of Mr. Jay and Mr. Van Rensselaer, the former to the office of Governor, and the latter to the office of Lieutenant-Governor of the state of New-York. Many unjustifiable measures were adopted by the anties to prevent Mr. Jay's election; I shall but mention one plausible tale they fabricated, viz. that he would not return to this country till the treaty he had negotiated was ratified by the British Parliament. Many unwary electors were caught in this snare; and think
I do not exceed the limits of truth when I assert, that the artifice before mentioned deprived him at least of 1000 votes. I trust his administration will be such as to afford general satisfaction, and that the event of the election will conduce not only to the happiness of the state of New-York, but also to that of the Union at large."
COOPERSTOWN, June 12. Caution to sportsmen. On Friday last, Mr. Samuel Baker of this town was watching for a deer at a saltlick, seeing the bushes in motion he supposed one to be near him, on which he discharged his musket which was loaded with a ball and three buck shot, at supposed buck shot, to his astonishment on examining the object, he found it was his neighbour, Mr. Burgess, who was returning to the house for the ball put into his shoulder—passed through the blade, and came out through the back bone—one shot passed through his wind pipe—another cut his back badly—his back badly—there are notwithstanding hopes entertained of his recovery.
NEWBURY-PORT, June 13. Ship Building. We cannot but with pleasure contemplate the rapid increase of ship building on Merrimack river within a few years. We are credibly informed that there are now on the stocks between this town and Haverhill, fifty two vessels, and nearly that number have been launched the present season. A circumstance that must give pleasure to the mechanic as well as to the merchant.
BALTIMORE, June 20. The ship Margaret of Portland, Captain McLellan, 44 days from Liverpool, arrived last evening. We were obligingly presented by a kind gentleman with some of her latest papers, but nothing appeared interesting, having declined giving any extracts till our next. By the Margaret, we learn, that the grand fleet was in port—that the enormous sum of 30 guineas, the largest sum ever before offered, was given for men to enlist in the marine service—and that riots were daily breaking out in England. The Industry, Nye, of Massachusetts, and the Apollo, M'Gruder of Maryland, had both arrived at Liverpool.
The brig Ranger now lying at the fort, belongs to Portland, and is from St. Bartholomew's.
GEORGE-TOWN, June 19. We hear that on Sunday next, an occasional discourse will be delivered by the Revd. Mr. RALPH, at the Capitol; and that a convenient temporary building is fitted up, where there will be Divine Service every succeeding Sunday.
ALEXANDRIA, June 18. Mr. GARDNER, The American Agent for ascertaining the amount of damages committed by the British cruisers in the West Indies, we learn had completed his mission in Barbadoes, which he left in good health for Dominiqua, on Sunday the 24th of May. Mr. Gardner informed Captain Moody (who gave the above information) that he had received every attention and assistance from the Governor while in Barbadoes.
The ship Hamilton, Capt. T. Ferral, arrived here Tuesday morning from England. May 3d, 1795, spoke the ship Thomas of Norfolk, Eli Vickery, master, bound to Bourdeaux, out 24 days and all well.
NORFOLK, June 16. Died on Thursday the 11th June, on board the Sloop Greyhound, Jas. Parsons, master, WARREN DOWNS, mariner, of the small Fox, last from Dominica, and bound to Boston; he is son of Mr. Downs, of Yarmouth, Massachusetts.
Arrived at the Port of Norfolk. Ship Roba and Betsey, Lymburn, Jamaica St. Tammany, Dangerfield, Liverpool Brig Dolphin, Steere, Savannah Sophia, Hunter, Bermuda Schooner Jane, Cobb, Jamaica Peggy and Nancy, Wainwright, Bermuda Sloop Diana, Hall, Antigua
SAVANNAH, May 14. On Tuesday last an express arrived in this city from the Chiefs of the Creek nation, with dispatches for James Seagrove, Esq. Agent of Indian affairs, the contents of which we think cannot fail to be pleasing to our fellow citizens.
In consequence of the demands made by the Indian agent, a general meeting of the Upper and Lower Creeks was held in the Oakfuskee about the 1st of April last, when it was determined that war and plunder on every part of the United States should cease: that the whole of the prisoners then in the Creek nation should be immediately collected, and that a number of principal chiefs should bring the same and deliver them to the agent at this place. The business of collecting had taken place in the nation before the express came away, which was on the 6th inst. and several of the Negroes were brought to Mr. Barnard on Flint river, the place for general rendezvous. The talks now received are very interesting, but too long to be published at so short a notice. We are authorized to say, that, in consequence of the advice given by the Agent, the Indians are now uneasy on account of the sale of lands by the Legislature of Georgia, although no unwarrantable measures had been taken by our neighbours to alarm them on the occasion. We also find, that in consequence of the decided language lately used to the Creeks, the Agent has received a talk
from them, to be forwarded by express to Governor Blount, of the territory south west of the Ohio, offering a firm and lasting peace with that country, and every other part of the United States, and assuring the Governor that no further depredations will be committed by the Creeks. It is now reduced to a certainty that the late injuries done in the counties of Camden and Glynn were by a few outlawed vagabond Indians from Florida, accompanied by some white men of the same character.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, April 21. A few evenings since a genteel looking young man came to a public-house in Bath-street, Cold-Bath Fields, without a hat, and ordered a pot of beer, with change for half a guinea, to be sent to a neighbor's house. The beer being taken by a maid servant, the sharper contrived, as usual in these cases, to meet her, and asking her for the change, while she slept back for another pot of beer; he improved upon the trick by giving her what she supposed to be half a guinea, but which, on examination, proved to be a pocket-piece. The sharper got clear off. The captain Buiton who commanded the Lively, in the Channel, in the absence of Lord-Carles, was a junior son of the late Mr. Buiton, Surgeon-General to the army in Germany, under the Marquis of Granby, and afterwards so well known on the Turf, and in all the scenes of fashionable play.
PRESENT STATE OF HOLLAND. The following interesting particulars have been communicated to us by a gentleman who left Amsterdam some days ago:— The revolutionary tribunals and committees are destroyed in France; but they remain yet in Holland in all activity. Two fishermen from Scheveling, and three pilots from the Texel were lately shot, for carrying orange colours speaking in favor of the Stadtholder, & attempting to go to sea without a due pass with dispatches, as it was laid for the Prince.
Upwards of 300 fishermen and pilots, still remain prisoners in different places, for their adherence to the Stadtholder. No fisherman can leave any harbour on pain of death, without a due pass; and this pass only good for twenty four hours. Often when the pass is good, the wind is contrary; and when the wind is good, the pass must be changed. Thus innumerable obstructions and difficulties are met with, the consequence of which is the greatest distress amongst all sea-faring men, whose families only subsist by fishing at Massand, Sluys, Scheveling, Flushing, &c. At Rotterdam, the 12th of March, the new magistrates were obliged to place centinels at the bakers shops, to protect them from insults. Three bakers have been severely wounded by the mob, one of whom is since dead. On the 16th of March, centinels were placed for the protection of the bakers at Amsterdam; one bakers house was plundered and demolished the day before by the patriotic mob.
At Utrecht, Leyden, Haerlem, Scheveling, Delft, &c. civic cards are delivered to the inhabitants, for the purpose of purchasing a certain quantity of bread without which no baker, under the fine of 1000 guilders, dare to sell to any one.
Meat, that formerly cost four fous per pound, is now sold for ten or twelve fous; it is scarcer than bread. Of 12,000 oxen put in requisition by the French, 9000 are already delivered. It will be almost impossible for the Dutch to find the remaining 3000, without quite exhausting the country of cattle, the combined powers, during two campaigns, having bought and taken from Holland upwards of 20,000 oxen, &c. &c.
No trade has been transacted. Merchants who formerly had ten, fifteen, and twenty clerks, have now one, two, or three. At Rotterdam 900, and at Amsterdam 2000 clerks, are without employment: and, to avoid starving, many have enlisted in the new raised national regiments. At Amsterdam, upwards of 1000 valets de place have been obliged to follow the same example.
Most of the officers and sailors have refused to serve the patriots. The new navy officers are mostly Americans, Danes, or Swedish adventurers, or chev. d'industrie. Of 5000, lately the prime enrolled sailors, 600 are only yet engaged in the patriots service. In the middle of last month a general survey was made in all the arsenals and dock yards, by Monf. Vaillant and some other national commissaries, the French deputies having intimated a wish for the Dutch to build directly five new 80 or 84 gun ships; but according to the re-
port of the Dutch commissaries, there are not materials enough to build one 80 gun ship; yet if there were materials all the carpenters and other workmen belonging to the docks having been dismissed last February, as attached to the Prince, have now, when offered their former situations, unanimously refused. At Rotterdam, Helvoet, and in the Texel, they are building a number of gun boats, carrying heavy metal; but whether to act defensively or offensively cannot be determined.
PARIS, April 20. For several days the political horizon has been clouded. These numerous arrests infuse great alarm into the minds of the citizens. The liberty of the press is menaced on all sides; it is said that a censorial Commission is to be established to inspect the Journals; nay, it is already established in part—Citizen Fortier, editor of the Correspondence Gazette, has been taken up, and his wife has in vain demanded that he shall either be set at liberty, or brought to trial. This is not the only attack that has been made on the liberty of the press. The papers of the editor of the Accusateur Public have been sealed, and a mandate of arrest has been issued against him. Whence does this new persecution proceed? and who are the instigators of all these iniquitous and vexatious measures?
The day before yesterday, soon after the report of the Committee of Public Safety had been presented, the Generale was beat in all the Sections—The cause of these alarms on the part of the Government could not be developed. There was no crowd collected in any part of this great city, except, indeed, before the bakers shops. Great part of the night was passed by a large number of the Citizens, under arms. It is the duty of Government, at all times, but particularly at such a period of scarcity as the present, to spare the citizens these harassing duties, and to remember the old proverb qui dort dîne , (the sleeping man needs no dinner.)
Bread is extremely scarce; and suicides begin to multiply in an alarming degree. Some commotions take place daily in the suburbs on account of the scarcity of provisions. Potatoes are brought in great quantities to Paris, and are eagerly bought up.—A poor farmer, who had brought a cart load was offered seven livres a bushel. He refused to take advantage of the public scarcity, and generously sold the whole quantity at five livres the bushel.

In the present enlightened age, when free discussion has opened the eyes of mankind, and the fabrics of Despotism and Superstition are crumbling to the dust, it becomes an object of no small importance, to distinguish leading Truths from those Counterfeits which have assumed their names and usurped their place...
In the present work, the learned author (who had before distinguished himself by his principles of moral and political Philosophy) has treated the subject with that ability and candour which becomes it, and it is exhibited in a short compass, perhaps the clearest and most distinct view of the proper evidences of christianity ever published.
