Philadelphia, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1796.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
GEORGE TOWN, May 31.
On Saturday, the 28th inst. entered ship Britannia , Pearson, from Port Glasgow—she sailed April 18. We have obtained the GLASGOW COUR- RIER of April 12th, from which we have extracted the following European News. It is of a later date than any that has yet come to hand.
GLASGOW, April 12. RETROSPECT.
The intelligence received from Germany and France, during the past week, evinces that both parties are determined, if the negotiations laid to be in a train for peace, fail, to prosecute the en- suing campaign with redoubled vigour, while it is evi- dent from the contending armies retiring more and more to their own country, that they shrink from the idea of putting a termination to the armistice. Both are convinced of the propriety of making peace; but each seems suspicious and jealous of the other. General reports are rather in favor of peace. It is strongly asserted that attempts have actually been made to negotiate. Of this much we are con- fident, that peace is earnestly desired by every friend to Great Britain, but only such a peace as we are justly entitled to, from our not being the ag- gressors in the war, from our being dragged into it, and from the unparalleled success which has attend- ed his majesty's arms.
The great fall which has taken place in the price of grain in England, will soon, we doubt not, be general over the kingdom. Within these ten days only, nearly 50 vessels have arrived at Leith and Grangemouth, with grain, flour and meal.
The sentence passed on admiral Cornwallis, while it justifies the conduct of the admiralty in bringing him to trial, shows that no man, whatever his rank and abilities may be, can, with impunity, depart from his instructions, while there remains a hope of his being able to execute them.
With satisfaction we record every act of benevo- lence, and with pleasure we now mention, that Mr. Wm. Gillespie, of Anderston, has, for this month past, been supplying the poor and labouring people of that village, with oatmeal, barley, meal, and pease-meal, at three pence a peck, below the mar- ket price.
Proceedings in Parliament.
HOUSE OF PEERS, Thursday April 7.
Lord Lauderdale gave notice that the Marquis Lansdowne would postpone his intended motions, as certain papers which he had ordered were not re- ady to be produced. His lordship moved for the accounts of the exports and imports for 1792—3— 4 and 5. He also moved that a copy of the con- tract entered into for transport vessels to convey troops to the West-Indies, be laid before the house. He complained of the improvidence of this con- tract, exceeding any which had taken place during the American war, and wished its production, as material in the intended motion of Marquis Lan- sdowen respecting the state of finance and the war.
Lord Grenville wished the noble Earl had previ- ously communicated to him his intended motion; he should then have informed himself whether or not it would be prudent to comply with it, previ- ous to the full accomplishment of the objects for which the contracts were made. Without this in- formation he could only say, the tendency of the motion might or might not be innocent. When this motion was brought forward he would be con- tented with advancing argument against argument.
Lord Lauderdale, after ridiculing the idea of secrecy in the contracts of the board of transports, agreed to withdraw his motion until the Secretary of State had made the necessary inquiries.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Wednesday, April 6.
No business done there being only 34 members present.
April 7. Lord Stafford (Lord in waiting) pre- sented his Majesty's answer to the address of the Commons praying that copies of the papers on the trial of Col. Cawthorne be laid before the house— Ordered to lay on the table.
Mr. Pybus, one of the Lords of the admiralty presented at the bar a copy of the warrant issued by the admiralty for taking admiral Cornwallis into custody for disobedience of orders—ordered to lie on the table.
The committee on the slave carrying bill was put off till this day sen'night.
April 8. The corn bounty bill was read a third time and passed.
On motion of Mr. Ryder, leave was given to bring in a bill for indemnifying the persons who acted under the orders of the privy council on the trial of the 22d of November last, in remitting the duties on neutral property.
Sir Charles Morgan brought up the proceedings of the court martial held on John F. Cawthorne, Esq., which were received and laid on the table.
On motion of Gen. Smith, amended by Lord Tyreconel all the proceedings were ordered to be printed. The report of the committee on the dog tax was received and read in the following terms: "Resolved that it is the opinion of this committee that a duty not exceeding three shillings a year be imposed on all dogs without exception." After some observations by Mr. Dent, a bill was ordered to be brought in, and Mr. Pitt, Mr. Dent and some others were appointed to bring in the same.
Gen. Smith introduced his long promised mo- tion respecting the barracks, and concluded a long speech by moving "It is the opinion of this house that it shall be referred to a committee to consider of the expenditure of public money in the construc-
tion and building of barracks since the year 1790, to investigate by what authority the expence has been incurred, and to report upon the same to the house."
At 10 o'clock the house divided.
For Gen. Smith's motion 24.
Against it 98.
PORTSMOUTH, April 8.
This morning, at nine o'clock, the Court again assembled, on board the Orion, in Portsmouth har- bour, and remained deliberating from that time un- til one, when the Court was opened, and strangers were admitted.
The Judge Advocate then called over the names of the members; and, having noticed, in the usual forms, the occasion for which the Court had been assembled, the time it had sat, and read over the charges, proceeded to deliver
THE SENTENCE.
"That the Court having heard the evidence in sup- port of the Charges exhibited against the Hon. William Cornwallis, Vice admiral of the Red; and having heard his defence, and the evidence in his behalf; and having maturely weighed and considered the same, are of opinion,
"That, with respect to the two first charges, of his returning without leave, after having been ordered to proceed to Barbadoes, and of his dis- obeying the orders he received, Mikondut war imputable to him for not having shifted his flag on board the Mars or Minotaur, and proceeded in either of them to the West Indies. But, in con- sideration of other circumstances, the Court ac- quit him of any disobedience in his conduct on that occasion.
"With respect to the third charge, of his having, after his return, disobeyed the orders of the Board of admiralty, in not going out to the West In- dies in the Astrea frigate, the Court were of op- inion that the charge was not proved, and there- fore acquit admiral Cornwallis upon that Charge."
Admiral Cornwallis, who, during the trial, con- ducted himself with great firmness and composure, heard the sentence read without any emotion; and then making a slight bow to the Court, retired with Mr. Erskine and some other friends.
The Court conducted itself with that grave and suitable decorum which has ever characterized the Naval Courts-Martial of Great Britain.
The Court was remarkably crowded.
So many flag-officers never sat on any Court-Mar- tial before.
As soon as the sentence was communicated to the people on board the Royal Sovereign, which lay at a short distance from the Orion, they all got upon deck and gave three cheers.
GEORGETOWN, June 2.
A Gentleman procured for us several numbers of the Glasgow Courier brought by the Britannia . Two of them are later than the one we were before favored with. We hasten to communicate to the public their contents.
LONDON, April 10.
A cabinet meeting was held at the Secretary of State's Office on Saturday. It sat from 2 to 4 o'clock. The business supposed to be the present mercantile embarrassments. The result was sent to the king at Windsor, and yesterday the messenger returned with letters, &c. from his majesty to Mr. Pitt, and other cabinet ministers.
An arrival at Dover, in ten days from Cadiz, informs the crews of the ships of Richery's squa- dron in that harbour, had mutinied to a most alar- ming degree. It is said to be in consequence of their share of the prize money, arising from the sale of the captures made from our Straights fleet, being withheld. It is added that Richery was at Sassinated.
The London Editor adds, "Such are the con- tents of the letters. We have heard so many false reports about Richery's squadron, that we shall be slow to believe the present intelligence."
April 11.
Late last night we received the following very important papers, which were yesterday communi- cated by Lord Grenville to all the foreign ministers resident at this court. They are the contents of the dispatch received on Friday last from Mr. Wick- ham, his majesty's Envoy to the Swiss Cantons; and appear to be the result of the measures Mr. Pitt some weeks since announced to be in train for ascertaining the real disposition of the French Di- rectory on the question of peace or war. It will also be recollected that we mentioned about three weeks since, that we had reason to believe Mr. Wickham was the gentleman to whom Mr. Pitt alluded as being charged with his inquiry. We are sorry the result is of that gloomy nature, and to leave no other alternative with his majesty and his ministers, than of continuing the war with unabat- ed vigour; in which determination they must, and no doubt, will, be supported by every good subject in the kingdom.
We should have been happy to have given the original French, as well as the translation, but as the translation is an official one, it will be almost equally satisfactory to the public.
In consequence of Mr. Wickham's dispatch, a message from his majesty is expected to be delivered this day by Mr. Pitt to the house of Commons.
NOTE.
Transmitted to M. Barthelemi, by Mr. Wickham. March 8.
The undersigned, his Britannic majesty's minister plenipotentiary to the Swiss Cantons, is authorised to convey to Monf. Barthelemi, the desire of his court to be made acquainted, through him, with the dispositions of France in regard to the object of a general pacification. He therefore requests Monf. Barthelemi to transmit to him in writing (and after having made the necessary inquiries) his answer to the following questions:
1. Is there the disposition in France to open a negotiation with his majesty and his allies for the re-establishment of a general peace, upon just and suitable terms, by sending, for that purpose, minis- ters to a Congress, at such place as may hereafter be agreed upon?
2. Would there be the disposition to communi- cate to the undersigned the general grounds of a pa- cification, such as France would be willing to pro- pose; in order that his majesty and his allies might thereupon examine, in concert, whether they are such as might serve as the foundation of a negotia- tion for peace?
3. Or would there be a desire to propose any other way whatever, for arriving at the same end, that of a general pacification?
The undersigned is authorized to receive from Monf. Barthelemi the answer to the questions, and to transmit it to his court: but he is not in any manner authorised to enter with him into negotia- tion or discussion upon these subjects.
(Signed) WICKHAM.
Berne, March 8.
NOTE.
Transmitted to Mr. Wickham, by Mr. Barthelemi, March 26.
The undersigned, ambassador of the French Re- public to the Helvetic Body, has transmitted to the Executive Directory the note, which Mr. Wick- ham, his Britannic majesty's minister plenipoten- tiary to the Swiss Cantons, was pleased to convey to him, dated the 8th of March. He has in com- mand to answer it by an exposition of sentiments and dispositions of the Executive Directory.
The Directory ardently desires to procure for the French Republic, a just, honorable, and solid peace. The step taken by Mr. Wickham would have afforded to the Directory a real satisfaction, if the declaration itself which that minister makes, of his not having any order, any power to negotiate, did not give room to doubt of the si- cerity of the pacific intentions of his court. In fact, if it was true that England began to know her real interests that she wished to open again for herself the sources of abundance and prosperity: if she sought for peace with good faith; would she propose a Con- gress, of which the necessary result must be to ren- der all negotiations endless? Or would she confine herself to the asking in a vague manner that the French government should point out any other way, whatever, for attaining the same object, that of ge- neral pacification?
Is it that this step has had no other object than to obtain for the British government the favorable impression which always accompanies the first over- tures for peace? May it not have been accompa- nied with the hope that they would produce no ef- fect?
However that may be, the Executive Directory whose policy has no other guides than openness and good faith, will follow in its explanations a conduct which shall be wholly conformable to them. Yield- ing to the ardent desire by which it is animated to procure peace for the French Republic and for all nations, it will not fear to declare itself openly.— Charged by the Constitution with the Execution of the laws; it cannot make or listen to any proposal that would be contrary to them. The Constitu- tional act does not permit it to consent to any alie- nation of that which, according to the existing laws, constitutes the territory of the Republic.
With respect to the Countries occupied by the French armies, and which have not been united to France, they, as well as other interests, political and Commercial, may become the subject of a ne- gotiation, which will present to the Directory the means of proving how much it desires to attain speed- ily to a happy pacification.
The Directory is ready to receive, in this respect any overtures that shall be just, reasonable, and com- patible with the dignity of the Republic.
(Signed) BARTHELEMI.
Basle, the 6th Germinal the 4th year of the French Republic (26th Mar. 1796.)
NOTE.
The Court of London has received from its Mi- nister in Switzerland, the answer made to the ques- tions which he had been charged to address to Mon- sieur Barthelemi, in respect to the opening of a negotiation for the re-establishment of general tran- quility.
This Court has seen, with regret, how far the tone and spirit of that answer, the nature and ex- tent of the demands which it contains, and the man- ner of announcing them, are remote from any dis- position for peace.
The inadmissible pretension is there avowed of appropriating to France all that the laws actually existing there may have comprised under the deno- mination of a French territory. To a demand such as this is added an express declaration that no pro- posal contrary to it will be made, or even listened to: and this, under the pretence of an internal re- gulation, the provisions of which are wholly foreign to all other nations.
While these dispositions shall be persisted in, no- thing is left for the King but to prosecute a war e- qually just and necessary.
Whenever his enemies shall manifest more pacific sentiments, his Majesty will at all times be eager to concur in them, by attending himself, in concert with his allies, to all such measures as shall be best calculated to re-establish general tranquility on con- ditions just, honorable, and permanent; either by the establishment of a Congress, which has been so often and so happily the means of restoring peace to Europe; or by a preliminary discussion of the principles which may be proposed, on either side, as a foundation of a general pacification; or, lastly by an impartial examination of any other way which may be pointed out to him for arriving at the same salutary end.
Downing-Street, April 10, 1796.
The Countries which, by the existing laws in France, constitute the French territory, are,
1. France, as it stood at the commencement of the war. 2. The French colonies in the West Indies, still occupied by France. 3. The islands of France and Mauritius. 4. Martinico and Tobago. 5. The whole island of Hispaniola. 6. Pondicherry, Chandernagore, Carical, Mahé, and the other French establishments in India. 7. Avignon, and the county Venaissin. 8. Principality of Montmelian and bishoprick of Pourent-vai. 9. Savoy, Nice, and Monaco. 10. Austrian Flanders and Brabant, and gene- rally, whatever belongs to the Emperor on this side the Rhine.
ally, whatever belongs to the Emperor on this side the Rhine.
11. Maestricht, Venlo, and Dutch Flanders.
12. The Bishoprick of Liege.
On the subject of all or any of these, the Direc- tory refuses to make, or even to receive any propo- sal, and insists that the negotiation shall be preceded by an admission of this claim on our part.
So that, after agreeing as a preliminary before negotiation to restore to France all we have con- quered from her, and to leave her in possession of all she has conquered from Austria and Sardinia, and all that has been ceded to her by Spain or Holland, besides other smaller acquisitions, we may then expect to learn from her, what other condi- tions she may chuse to require or grant, as the terms of Peace.
April 11. A message from the house of Peers to the Commons stated, that their Lordships had agreed to the bill for making the port of Scarbo- rough, in the island of Tobago a free port. The American intercourse bill—The rock Salt indus- try bill and several private bills.
April 13.
For several days there have been afloat very con- tradictory accounts respecting the Dutch fleet.— The letters of this morning positively state that Lieut. Bauder arrived at Hull from a cruise, saw, a few days since, six sail of the line and 3 frigates en- ter the Texel—One ship of the line, with her top- mast struck.
In the army of the Prince of Conde an officer was lately beheaded, and a soldier hanged, by order of the Prince—Both were convicted of being em- ployed by the French government to cause deser- tions in his army.
The celebrated character, Barrere, is now at Paris, befriended by Carnot, one of the leading members of the Directory. It is also asserted that he has lately been in Sweden, in an official capac- ity, where he fully accomplished the object of his mission.
The Spanish fleet at Cadiz ready for sea, consists of 25 sail of the line, besides frigates and sloops.
A court banker at Berlin made a contract to supply the French government with horses for their armies. He furnished to the amount of 2,500,000 dollars, and received bills of exchange. Every one has been protested, and the banker stopped pay- ment for that sum—The bills were paid for the horses, and those persons are involved in the distress which that want of integrity in the French govern- ment has occasioned.
Yesterday was the settling day in the stock ex- change for the April accounts in consols—The great speculations engaged public attention and made opinions various. The account however was settled with less embarrassment than was expected. The consols were done for the May account in the morning at 67 5/8 1/2 but at the close many fell at 67.
It is said that a plan for the relief of commercial men, has been suggested, that it consists of drafts of 51. 10s. 5d. and so on to large amounts. We only speak from rumour.
A forgery to the amount of 16,000l. was com- mitted on the Bank by a false transfer of stock. The party suspected has absconded. A clerk to an army agent, went off lately with very considera- ble property belonging to different persons.
The four last market days at Horsham in Sussex, wheat fell from 30s. 10s. a load to 15s. 10s. & 14s.
Fifteen Indianmen sailed from Portsmouth April 12, for the Cape of Good Hope. At the same time admiral Colpoys with 5 ships of the line and 3 frigates put to sea. Several other ships for the West Indies Mediterranean &c. Vice admiral Cornwallis to-morrow strikes his flag.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 11.
Plan for ameliorating the Condition of Slaves in the West-India Islands.
Mr. Francis rose to make his promised motion on this subject. He then stated his proposition: it was to give the Negroes a right in property; to give them a portion of the land. He showed that the plan was consistent with a state of slavery, and justified by authority. The Romans afforded their slaves a protection for the enjoyment and control of the peculium, and even the Spartans, whose treat- ment of their slaves was the most barbarous and treacherous, yet gave their Helots property: almost the whole land of the state was held upon tenure, the slave paying the master a fixed invariable tri- bute. He then argued that to give the slaves the hope of property would be beneficial to the master. Property is a motive for labour. Montesquieu said, the labour of the mines was maintained by the temptation of profit, and advantages given to the slaves to be accumulated at their pleasure.
Cicero had said, give slaves property and they will labour. These were the principles of his plan —to give the slaves a legal allotment of land, with necessary implements, according to age and circum- stances, allowing an increase in the case of marri- age; to give the land for life, to be nevertheless li- able to forfeiture in the same cases as freemen; ne- ver to separate the father from his family, without his express consent; to enact penalties for the se- duction of female slaves; and heavier penalties in cases of force being used; no man to be an overseer who is not married; and his wife to have the care of the female slaves; the slaves to have jurisdiction over each other by a jury chosen among them; the overseer having the right of challenging and presid- ing on the trial of a negro; negroes to execute sen- tences; and, to secure the execution of the plan, magistrates to be appointed, who shall be well paid, independent, and without any community of inter- ests with the planters. As a collateral part of the plan; it would be necessary to establish magistrates on the coast of Africa, to regulate purchases, in order to prevent husbands being torn from their families and children from their parents.
Mr. Francis concluded by moving, "that leave be given to bring in a bill for the better regulation and improvement of the state and condition of slaves in the West India islands, and other states in his majesty's dominions."
EDINBURGH, April 15.
There were 396 bolls of oatmeal in market on Tues- day, and the sale slow. The retail price fell two-pence the peck.

The justices of Perthshire fined several delinquents in the sum of 6881. for distilling whisky. Died at Aberdeen on the 6th inst. in the 77th year of his age, George Campbell, D. D. F. R. S. of Edinburgh, late principal and professor of divinity in the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen.
GLASGOW, April 14. From our Correspondent at London, April 11, at Night.
The House of Commons was this day crowded in expectation of a message from the Throne, relative to the state papers publishing this morning. This expectation is defeated. I am just now assured, from high authority, that no message will come down. The House of Peers being adjourned, it cannot consistently with order be brought.
There is no doubt entertained but that Mr. Pitt will come down in the course of the week, with a demand of six millions—half to go either as a subsidy or loan to the Emperor.
The declaration of the French Directory amounts to this—“We will not make peace till Great Britain restores all the possessions she has taken from us and the Dutch—and that we shall retain St. Domingo from Spain, Belgium and all the possessions we have already comprised within our fraternal grasp.” From such conditions, even the most violent declaimers against the war must revolt.
April 16. A letter from New York to a company in town, “Our markets are plentiful of all kinds of grain. Our merchants have got consignments for the cargoes sent to France, and, as they find they are not current with our banks, the exportation to France is completely stopped. They will more had been sent to Britain, as they could easily have drawn for it.”
FRANKFORT, March 29. Yesterday the equipage of the archduke Charles passed through this place for Mentz. Every thing is in readiness to open the campaign, in case the negotiations for peace are broken off. The French general Marceau’s headquarters are to be removed from Treves—The head quarters of the army of Conde removed yesterday to a small town near Freyburgh, in the Brissgau—the expected arrival of Bohemian, and other Imperial troops, is said to be the cause of this movement. These will increase the emigrants to 40,000.
WESEL, April 2. Dusseldorf swarms with French, and preparations for opening the campaign are pushed with the utmost activity—It is thought the Republicans will begin by attacking the Austrians upon the Sieg, after endeavoring to turn them at Elberfeld—For this reason no doubt they have been inspecting the Roer and its fords—According to the latest intelligence Jourdan’s head quarters are removed to Wittlich, near the Moselle.
GENOA, March 20. Some bloody scenes have lately taken place between the French soldiers and the peasantry upon our territory: the former overrunning the vineyards, tore down the paling for fuel; the countrymen fell upon them with such force that 17 Frenchmen were killed, and several wounded.
The French fleet have not failed from Toulon—They want so many necessaries, it cannot take place under a month; nor has the Squadron failed from Cadiz. The British minister, Mr. Drake, has come from Milan, to prevent the French from obtaining any loan.
Notwithstanding the rumors of peace, both the Austrian and French armies continue to receive reinforcements, and to approach each other.
The French have obtained 5 or 6,000l. as a part of the proposed loan, which is looked upon a document to prevent any disagreeable consequences. The disturbances in Sardinia still continue, and are the cause of much bloodshed.
FRANCE. PARIS, April 2.
The late arrival of Citizen Bacher, 1st Secretary to the French Embassy in Switzerland, gave rise to the report that negotiations for peace were in a state of great forwardness; but we learn that his arrival was pursuant to order of government, to answer some charges brought against him.
Pichegru lives without the least parade, in furnished apartments at Vauban’s hotel. He appears in public in a simple dress; utters neither complaints nor regrets—wishes for peace—mentions his rivals with praise, and disdains the flatterers of the Jacobins.
April 4. It is under consideration to form three camps in the interior—at Marli, Sais-Soas and Orleans.
Charette de la Colliniere, cousin to the general of La Vendee, was arrested on the 21st ult. in his chateau near Nantz. He was only 23 years old and has been condemned and executed.
5. Cochran a member of the Council of Elders succeeds Merlin as Minister of Police—the latter resumes his former place as minister of Justice.
6. The members of the directory were present in their robes at the opening of the national institute and the whole diplomatic corps assisted in that solemnity.
Council of 500, March 29. A plan relative to the payment of taxes was adopted.
30. The President announced a petition containing accusations against several national representatives. It was said that, according to the terms of the Constitution, such denunciations ought to be read in a secret Committee. After a discussion of some length, a committee was agreed to. The members denounced by the Terrorists of the South, were Isnard, Rouhier, Cadroy, and Caribon.
31. Barras, one of the Directors, stated that the denunciation of yesterday was not transmitted by him. He did this to show he was incapable of private resentment.
This letter proved the Directory to have no share in the perfidious conduct of the malevolents of the South. The letter was signed by the Secretaries.
April 1. The Executive Directory demanded of the Council to disband the companies raised August 10, ’93, for the service of the Batteries of Goulet and the road of Brest. Referred to a commission. Sunday complaints against the commissioner of the Directory, Reverchon, were referred to a commission.
2. The plan for re-establishing a national lottery was discussed, and adjourned for 3 days. Pastoret called the attention of the Council to the evils that desolate the country—“The limits are removed, the fences and hedges broken down, and the forests laid waste. Every where there is plunder and pillage.”—Referred to a committee.
3. Citizen Duffault, President of the national establishment of sciences and arts, informed that the establishment would hold its first public sittings the ensuing day at 4 o’clock. On the report of Gossuin, the council resolved that from the present day, the pay granted by the laws to the land and sea forces; and in general to all the military on service, shall be paid according to a fixed value. The indemnities granted on the score of the depreciation of assignats were accordingly rescinded. The rations in kind to be supplied as usual.
Gen. Morreau, who succeeds Pichegru in the command of the army of the Rhine, was present when this resolution was entered into.
The sitting of April 5 and 6, was principally taken up with business relative to the forced loan and the new taxes.

Philadelphia, June 4.
The Ganges, on her arrival from India, saluted the city with fifteen guns. Through some inattention, one of the guns going off unexpectedly, blew off both the arms of an unfortunate sailor belonging to the ship, and otherwise miserably wounded him, blowing him at the same time into the river. He was taken up, and sent to the Pennsylvania hospital, where he died yesterday morning.
A Portuguese Indianman, having on board a very valuable cargo, bound from Brazil to Goa, and mounting 22 guns, in the Indian Ocean fell in with the French frigate Cybele mounting 44 guns, and carrying 470 men, when a most desperate and bloody action commenced, which lasted three hours and a half. The Portuguese ship was obliged to strike her colours, after having had a vast number of men killed on board. The Frenchman took possession, and after plundering the ship of every thing valuable on board, dismissed her; exacting, however, from the captain, an oath not to take arms against the French Republic again during the continuance of the present war.
Philadelphia, June 30, 1796.
MR. FENNO. I HAVE seen a paragraph in your paper of the 27th ultimo, copied from the New-York Minerva of the 23d, which mentions a letter received by a gentleman of South Carolina, now a member of Congress; on the subject of the western insurrection.
As all the members of Congress from that state are implicated in this paragraph, I think it due to them to declare that I was the person who received the letter in question. I owe it to myself, at the same time, to aver that I no manner authorized the publication of this paragraph. For though I thought myself at full liberty to mention the letter in private conversation, and did so to several of my friends, I never intended or expected that my communications on the subject should find their way into the news papers.
Having been thus led to mention this affair, I think proper to add, that the letter contains no hint of the Author’s being concerned in the western insurrection, or privy to it. Whatever he said was stated merely as opinion and conjecture. I am, Sir, with respect, Your’s, &c. ROB. G. HARPER.
Mr. Fenno, in a late number of your Gazette the charge of the United States to the Grand Jury for the southern district of Georgia, together with their answer were published. The following article in the Southern Centinel will throw some light on the subject. Mr. McMillan. Lest the community should be again deluded by this last effort, you will oblige the friends to good government, by inserting the following certificate—from which it will appear, that the foregoing presentments of the Grand Jury of this district, instead of conveying the public opinion respecting the Ladyship’s Affair, and the private quarrel between two gentlemen is in fact nothing more than the extrajudicial intemperate and exparte proceedings of a few individuals from three counties only; ten from Chatham, two from Liberty, and two from Effingham county; altho’ there are 24 counties in this state; and the three contain not more than one fifteenth of the whole inhabitants.
I do hereby certify that the persons whose names are subscribed to the foregoing presentments reside in the following counties, viz. Peter H. Morel, Chatham; John Tebeau, Lewis Turner, John Barnard, Wilmington Island in Chatham county. Hampton Lillibridge, Robert Greer, Levi Sheffall, John Shick, Levi Abrams, William Lewdeu, city of Savannah, (Chatham.) Audley Maxwell, Simon Fraser, Liberty county. Nathaniel Hudson, William Porter, Effingham county. Certified by me in the Circuit Court of the United States, for the district of Georgia, this 30th April, 1796. G. HULL, D. M. of the District of Georgia.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, Philadelphia, May 2, 1796.
Pennsylvania, ss. By THOMAS MIFFLIN, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS the General Assembly did, on the fourth day of April last, resolve, "That the Governor be requested to issue a proclamation, reciting the act entitled "An act to prevent intrusions on lands, within the limits of the Commonwealth, and to secure the quiet possession of the same;" and that he be forthwith requested to cause the same to be published in the newspapers of the states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts; and whereas the act, in the said resolution referred to is expressed in the following words: "Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That if any person shall, after the passing of this act, take possession of, enter, intrude or settle on any lands within the limits of the counties of Northampton, Northumberland, or Luzerne, by virtue or under colour of any conveyance of half share right, or any other pretended title not derived from the authority of this commonwealth, or of the late proprietaries of Pennsylvania before the Revolution, such person, upon being duly convicted thereof, upon indictment, in any court of oyer and terminer, or court of general quarter sessions, to be held in the proper county, shall forfeit and pay the sum of two hundred dollars, one half to the use of the county, and the other half to the use of the informer, and shall also be subject to such imprisonment, not exceeding twelve months, as the court before whom such conviction is had may in their discretion direct."
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every person who shall combine, or conspire for the purpose of conveying, possessing or settling on any lands within the limits aforesaid, under any half share right or pretended title as aforesaid, or for the purpose of laying out townships by persons not appointed or acknowledged by the laws of this commonwealth, and every person that shall be accessory thereto, before or after the fact, small, for every such offence, forfeit and pay a sum not less than five hundred, nor more than one thousand dollars, one half to the use of the county, and the other half to the use of the informer; and shall also be subject to such imprisonment at hard labour, not exceeding eighteen months, as the court in their discretion may direct.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the court wherein any such conviction shall have been had, shall issue their writ to the sheriff of the county wherein the said offence has been committed, or the said conviction had, or if the said court shall be of opinion that the sheriff or coroner are not impartial, then to any other person or persons they may think proper, commanding him or them, together with the power of the county, if he or they should judge their assistance necessary, to proceed to the lands in question, and therefrom to expel and eject all and every the person and persons therein intruded as aforesaid; and if the said sheriff, or other person or persons appointed as aforesaid, should make return to the said writ that he or they have been unable to execute the same, by reason of the forcible resistance of the parties or any other persons, or from a just apprehension of such resistance as would render the execution thereof by him or themselves, and the power of the county, impracticable, the prothonotary of the court to which such writ is so returned shall forthwith transmit a copy of the said writ and return, under the seal of the said court, to the governor, and if upon the said return, or if upon a certificate signed by the president, or one of the judges of the court of common pleas of the proper county, or by one of the judges of the supreme court, that the process of the court has been resisted, or that there is reason to believe that the civil authority will be incompetent to the execution of this law, the governor shall deem it expedient to order a portion of the militia of this state to assist the civil authority in carrying into effect this act, or any part thereof: The detachments so called out shall be subject to the same pay and rations, and be subject to the same rules and regulations, as are provided in other cases.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if a judge of the court of quarter sessions for the proper county, or a judge of the supreme court shall apprehend that the sheriff and coroner are not impartial, it shall and may be lawful for the said judge to direct the venire for the grand inquest, and for the traverse jury, to any person or persons he or they may think proper.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person or persons shall resist any officer, or other person duly authorised in the execution of this act, or any part thereof, every person or persons so offending, and every person that shall be accessory thereto, before or after the fact, shall, on conviction, forfeit and pay a sum not more than five thousand nor less than five hundred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment at hard labour for any period not less than three nor more than seven years.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in order to disseminate a knowledge of the provisions contained in this act, it shall be the duty of the prothonotaries of the several courts of common pleas of the counties of Northampton, Northumberland and Luzerne, and they are hereby respectively enjoined and required to read or cause to be read, in open court, the said act, and every part thereof, at least once in each of the three terms next after receiving the same; and also it shall and may be lawful for the governor of this commonwealth to issue his proclamation, enjoining and requiring all persons having intruded as aforesaid, to withdraw peaceably from the lands whereon such intrusions have been made; and further enjoining and requiring the several officers of government, and the good citizens of this state, to prevent or prosecute by all legal means, such intrusions and intruders, and to afford their most prompt and effectual aid in their several and respective capacities, to carry into full execution the laws of this commonwealth relative thereto; provided always, that nothing in this act contained shall extend to the claims of persons claiming lands under and by virtue of an act entitled "An act for ascertaining and confirming to certain persons called Connecticut claimants, the lands claimed by them within the county of Luzerne, and for other purposes therein mentioned", passed the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven: And provided further, that this act, or any thing therein expressed, shall not be construed as intended to affect any claims under the said law nor as a legislative construction or opinion respecting said act, or an act entitled, "An act to repeal an act entitled, "An act for ascertaining and confirming to certain persons called Connecticut claimants, the lands by them claimed within the county of Luzerne, and for other purposes therein mentioned", passed the first day of April, one thousand seven hundred and ninety, or the validity or effect of either of the said laws."
NOW, THEREFORE, In compliance with the said recited request of the General Assembly, and in pursuance of the authority to me by law given, as aforesaid, I HAVE issued this PROCLAMATION; hereby, in all things, enjoining obedience to the provisions in the said act of the General Assembly contained; and more especially requiring all persons, having intruded upon any lands, in the manner in the said act specified and prohibited, to withdraw peaceably therefrom, as well as warning and forbidding all persons whomsoever from hereafter making any intrusion upon such lands, under the penalties in the said recited act of the General Assembly declared and imposed. And the several officers of the government, and all the good citizens of this state, are further enjoined and required to prevent or prosecute by all legal means such intrusions and intruders, and to afford the most prompt, and effectual aid, in their several and respective capacities, to carry into full execution the laws of this Commonwealth relative thereto.
GIVEN under my Hand, and the Great Seal of the State, at Philadelphia, this sixteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, and of the Commonwealth the twentieth.
THOMAS MIFFLIN. By the Governor, A. J. DALLAS, Secretary of the Commonwealth.
